661 segmentsLife can feel overwhelming, but on my podcast, From the Heart with Rachel Brathen, we're in it together. Every Friday brings you a new story. Listen to From the Heart with Rachel Brathen, wherever you get your podcasts. Dom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, all-time irony. I think we could do ironies as a side question, Tom Giordano's show, arguably the least concerned about health, at least when it comes to eating and working out, president. Arguably, President Trump has a guy who is the one doing the most that is shaking up our entire health care system, our entire food system, our entire vaccine, et cetera. And he'll be here at 1.30 today. It's been a long time trying to make this happen. I think it's Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz's person that made it happen. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., yeah, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., will be here at 1.30 today, and they've offered like an ungodly amount of time. So if you have a question that you say must be asked, please speak now or forever to hold your peace at 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. I, of course, just sketched out my first 15 for the NFL. I don't like the 15. I would do 40, but that's the NFL, you know. Things change the script. And the one area, maybe a small thing, I might say, come on now with the food pyramid upside down, okay, but saturated fats. Good. Certain ones. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in Harrisburg. He'll be with us on his way back. We hope to have him here at some point. We're working on that. But you'll be able to hear it at 1.30 today. And in Harrisburg at this rally, it's the Eat Real Food tour kicking off today. That's the main thing we'll talk about. But I got to get a little more information on the poet. Henry is very intrigued too. You know, and I think. My request will be to lead a movement to take away all those pull-ups. You have to jump on at gyms. You've got to jump up on. No, no, no. Moving down to the level we can work on, like six feet, five inches, six inches, seven inches. You might be able to do a pull-up then. But he's in Harrisburg on this. They're protesters. They're always protesters. All that going on. A big story today when he took to the podium. We'll play you President Trump in Davos. And look, the Trump remedy is certainly called for it with these people. We'll play you the Blackstone guy who's the most odious creature out there saying we're only here us billionaires to help the average people to make things more affordable. Yeah, right. And the other star is Gavin Newsom. standing among the crowd, and Trump calls him out from the podium. Trump also saying, let's face it, if not for America, a lot of you would be speaking German or maybe a little Japanese. He went after windmills, but the big story, he said, and the markets have reacted well, we are not going to, by force, do anything with Greenland. All right, so Greenland was much there, reassuring people on that.
I get the Trump negotiating style, but on the Greenland thing, I think this comes down to behind the scenes, how much money will it take? I think it's worth it. Harry Truman thought it was worth it. 100 million in gold in 1946, he offered. That's $1946 in gold. That would have been a lot. I don't even know if they had 20,000 people there that. in order to get it. I don't know if we pay them off. We pay the Danes off. Well, I was thinking of a deal. The Danish company Orstedt. All right, we want to put a windmill off the Jersey Shore. You'll do that and we'll give you Greenland. Sorry, we're not doing that, even for Greenland. It's national defense. Nope, you're not messing up the Jersey Shore. Nope, no deal with the Danes on that. Okay, Randy Weingarten there today, though. This is all the people that want to control us coming together. That's what this Davos thing is about. Every year, John Kerry would be the face of it. We got several Randy Wine Garden cuts, though, because she's the one that does the most. that's irritating around this and the most mind go let's start with randy wine garden there here's uh wine garden uh talking about to the billionaires to the people that behind the scenes run the world that we must use this world economic forum to create An integrated network and curriculum for kids. Think of these globalists now. She wants to put into the public schools cut 19. So part of what we're trying to do here is say, how do we create this partnership between education, labor? government and industry with the goal of creating these pathways so that kids, when they come out of high school or they come out of college, don't have to start saying, what am I going to do next? The pathways become important, and to create those pathways, you also have to create a curriculum, and you have to create this engagement with each other. And the last thing I'll say is this. When you do it, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts. We have over 100,000 schools. There are industry partners all over. And you, Kiva, we're the one who said, you can't keep on doing this industry by industry. You are the one who said you can't keep on doing this governor by governor. How do we use the WEF to create this kind of integrated network so that we're all working together so that kids can have, from high school on, opportunities to have jobs. that pay a living wage so that they can feed their family and nurture their family. And that is what happens in advanced manufacturing. So I'm honored that we are part of the creation of that curriculum, and we are all in. Oh, I want to see the curriculum, Randy. I want to see the chapter on fascism. Now, Henry, I've never told you, but I think it's perfectly that we'd be able to get her in studio. I mean, I've had her on 10 or 12 times.
So let's put her on our wish list. We ought to have that giant. I mean, Johnny's got a big sign out there at Mulligan. Today is the birthday, by the way, and we'll honor him all day of the great Nick Foles on my Twitter. Did you happen to see my Twitter today? Take a look at the picture I put up. That is from Saturday. And that is from when we had Nick Folves. That's the crowd. Look at that room, how enormous it is. And backstage, you're had to be 500 people waiting to get with Nick Bowles. Yeah. Yeah. What a scene. And notice the height, if he's 6'6, I'm at least 6'1 based on that. Yeah, you can tell. Yeah, what a scene. It is a fabulous thing. And we have the cut of Philly, Philly. We'll get to. But here's one more Randy Weingarten. Yep, she goes to the well in Davos. Here's Randy Weingarten. It takes a village, cut 20. And first, I'd like to turn to Randy Weingert. Of course. So we're honored to be here for any number of reasons. If you had told me five or ten years ago that I would be at the World Economic Forum announcing Smart Start curriculum with business. Governors, I would say, okay, I would see myself doing this with governors, but with business in Switzerland doing this, I would have said, what are you drinking? But the point is, it does take a village to actually create and recreate and re-envision a society that works for all. And manufacturing is a key component in that society. And education is a key component in that society. All right. So these are the people. These are the people that want to control our lives. She belongs perfectly there. That's what they're about. They don't want an ownership society. Nobody owns anything except them. Billionaires, behind the scenes people. the head of the World Economic Forum, and just globalists, up and down, this is what it's all. John Kerry, the face of John Kerry is a perfect example. Be it climate, be it telling us what to do in schools, be it talking affordability under their guidance. It's all under their guidance. This is like the UN on Sterey. The UN just, they're playing at it. These people really want, and do, to the best of their ability, dominate life. All right, let me give you the side. You can hit me with a Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. question. He'll be here at 1.30 today. I'm going to lead off with the food pyramid. We'll get to vaccine policy, particularly childhood. I got to ask about the testosterone test of Trump, the pull-up. He might get into his own diet. You know, be prepared for that. It might be kind of a wild ride about what he recommends. But are you following this new food pyramid? Saturated fats. He announced in Harrisburg some of the things they've done in the first year, and they are impressive. Over 35% of American food industry have removed artificial dyes from their products. You know how difficult this has been?
And more on the way in 2026. New dietary guidelines have prioritized whole foods over processed junk. Bringing whole milk back to school lunches. Well, that's good. And lowering prescription drug costs. And I think they're doing that. And that's a biggie. The other thing that I'll get to is the autism. I'm not believing Taiwan. And in pregnancy, I'm not compelled by the evidence. I realize this is a mystery and a horrific mystery, but it doesn't mean we should be jumping at stuff. So I'm going to ask him how far along what's next on looking at autism. I think those are the biggest things that we've seen with him. Now, Josh Shapiro, the great man, after he threw his mother under the bus in his book, hard to believe. He's known as, look, I've told you this. Even among politicians, they see this guy as a political animal extraordinary. I've been in the ring with him a couple times. And the next time I'm in the ring, I am using the height thing. I don't care what Rose says. You can't make jokes about the hype with it. Anything with this guy is in play. He brings up his son. His son tells him no capital punishment. All right. Do I bring up the son? No, I don't care about the son. He does. Out of bounds, Henry, the height? No, I guess not. The son. Are you striking first with this height common? No, no, I have to be struck. Yeah, you're waiting to get hit. Yeah, yeah, all is fair. The son. The son? All right, but he's the one that brought it up. The son, do you don't remember that? I know, I know what you're talking about. Okay, you still think you can't bring his son in. A check is the son 18 yet? That's my rule. Yeah, that might be a good rule. If you're under 18, yeah, can't do that. But you know what the word the governor loves to say? And he's polled this and re-polled it. I'm going to ask Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. about it. Governor Josh Shapiro is saying he's bringing chaos here. Chaos. That's what Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is about. Now, Josh Shapiro's clever. I was telling Henry before the show in the new bio. He says he didn't grow up in a happy household as a child. The mother had mental issues. Wow. And then he says, go ahead, Henry. No, just who doesn't? Yeah. Yeah. And then as a result of that, this is where he's going. That's why he's so controlling, so domineering. So, you know, he knows it's a flaw, but come on, he had to do that to protect himself. Then he says, I love my mother. We get along. You know, all this, wow, he puts her in this bio. You know, you really want to sell this bio, don't you? I think that's left, unless it was brutal, unless it was abusive. And he doesn't say that. He's saying that's what made him do what he does. Apparently, he says it was a joke when he asked about putting his artwork in the vice presidential residence to Kamala Harris. I don't think so. I think he had a list and he kept on going through them. And even Harris went, get me walls. He's a goof, but I can't put up with it. Maybe that was it. Yeah, he was just too controlling. He's like, here are my ideas for the campaign. And Conlo's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. Right. And he said to vice president ought to be more like a slight co-president than vice president to him. Get me walls. But you mean, that's your entire bench. Henry's out there shooting too much. I'm not liking it.
I look down, I see Sean on the bench there, hasn't played this year yet. I don't know. He wandered into the basketball team. Put him in. Oh, man. I got a basketball game tonight. You're getting in my head already. How many shots of game do you take? It's the first game, so we're going to find out. Well, usually. At least five threes. Oh, okay. Well, it's not excessive. No, I try to play within the game. I'm not trying not to be a chucker. Well, if you are a good shooter over the course of time, you know, if you're off, keep shooting. Oh, yeah, no, next shot mentality. If you have made five in a row, keep shooting, you're a good shooter, you're hot. That's what I always went by. I wouldn't say I was a shooter. I was a scorer, meaning I was going to shoot. I'm a shooter. So there's the difference. I'm not a score. Not a score. Okay. 855-839, 12, 10, you get on board. The St. Paul, Minnesota mayor, said we responded the same way we would for any place of worship. Oh, man. Were the heathens in St. Paul? Can you imagine? I don't think so, mayor. Okay. Side question today. Ryan Wilson, Dwight Shrewt. Ryan Wilson, is a rain? Rain Wilson, all-time great character, Dwight Shrewt. Birthday was this week, a day or so ago. Side question today is simple. We haven't done something like this in a while. Give us somebody who is an all-time sidekick. They maybe even steal it in a sitcom. George Costanza is an obvious one. Arguably, he's the star somewhat. But I'll take Ethel Friedrich Merz off. I even saw a play once about Ethel Friedrich Merz, Vivian JD Vance, how unhappy she was to play Ethel to Lucy, who was brutal. All those years. That's old. That's an all-time. sidekick and female sidekick that was recognized. Henry, how about yours? Yeah, Dom, I think for my answers, I'm going to go even more niche here with the sidekicks. Really, really far down on the roster, as you could say. You know, I'm going to continue my theme of bringing up the hit show Friends, and I'm going to go with the friend that never gets talked about, even though he's in the majority of episodes, whether in the background doing his job or whatever, and that would be Gunther. the manager of Central Perk, the coffee shop, where they all hang out, where he lusts over Jennifer Anderson's character, Rachel, day in and day out for season upon season, until he finally confesses his love for her. Towards the end of the show, yeah. And then the other one to take off is... You know, it is the all white bread show. Like, Will Kane on Fox, I can't stand. It's too much of a white bread to me. It just can't take it. Well, Brian, same thing. Oh, man. It's white bread. That's it. Yeah, the other one that's take off is a sidekick to one of the side characters in the show, Seinfeld. It was about time. Elaine, later on, the season's got her kind of her own universe.
And in that universe, she had her on again and off again boyfriend, David Puddy, who I think is one of the most hilarious characters in the show. I'm glad he was introduced later on, whether as Jerry's mechanic or whether it's going to the devil's game, you know, put it on the face paint or, you know, it's to support the team, you know, like things like that. Germaphobe. Germaphobe wearing the eight ball jacket. You've got to talk to the eight ball, you know, like that whole, this whole stick just cracks me up. So I've got to throw on putty. All right, putty. Abbotty. you, Sean. Who do you like? So off the top of my head, I was originally going to say Charlie from Always Sunny before I realized that he's a main character. Yeah, he is. But rickety cricket from always sunny. Oh, yeah. Okay. His de-evolution from a man of the cloth to a homeless man who smokes crack and dittles dogs. All right. It's something to the whole lot. You're salicinating. It's okay. All right. You covered a lot of ground there, Sean. Yes. Okay, 855, 839, 12, 10, you get on board. What? ABC, CBS, NBC's ICE coverage in Minnesota was 93% negative. They got to work on that. That's 7% positive for not negative. One mention of the officer being hit by the car. Nice. How did that one mention get in there? It was a mistake. It was a mistake. We didn't mean it. 93%. Now you think it would be more like even 60, 40 if they wanted to be on the mob side? Okay. Hit us with in a sitcom the all-time. I don't know if that sitcom is what I'm saying. But okay, all time in a sitcom is we're looking for from the great Dwight Shrut today. And your question for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 1.30. As I said, Josh Shapiro gone all out to say chaos. That's what he's going to run on. He's not the chaos guy. He's normal. And my mother? Well, she should have gotten mental help then. That's why I am like I am today. Don't listen to Kamala Harris. I take the side of Kamala Harris here. And that's something. She could have been whine-addled or whatever was going on. She got one lift at Josh Shapiro in these meetings like, oh, my God. But how in the world out of the entire country? This is like drafting Ben Simmons or worse. How in the world out of the whole world? I say that all the time, Henry, you're on my side. DJ and Luke, don't get me. I said, well, you know, I think he was the best in the world. The world's pretty bad if Ben Simmons is the best player in the world at that point. It can't be. Yeah. I wouldn't do it. Fire me, do whatever. Give me some more money. I'm finding somebody better than Ben Simmons. And if I'm doing the VP search, well, wait until you hear one of the names for Lieutenant Governor on the Republican side. that I read today, and if this is the case, I'll give it to you coming up. I got to tell Stacey Garrity, bail, no way. This person could be your lieutenant governor. I'll give you the name of John Ventry, Henry. You may want to Google him. You'll see, the E-N-T-R-E.
And you'll see why. All right, that's all straight ahead on Talk Radio 12. How We Made Your Mother is the How I Met Your Mother rewatch podcast with me, Josh Radner, and Siri's co-creator Craig Thomas. Follow How We Made Your Mother wherever you get your podcasts. 10. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT on demand, on demand. All right, it is Dom time. Hit us with that sidekick, maybe one who dominates all time in a sitcom. That's what we're looking for. Got to be a really good one. We took some of the better ones off the board. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., 130 today. And at least three or four huge areas with him. They're in Harrisburg. It's the Eat Real Food Tour that kicks off. And what's Josh Shapiro's biggest criticism? Chaos. So, you know, let's go point by point with Josh, the great Josh Shapiro. Let's leave aside the vaccine issue. Are these other things chaotic or are they things that have been debated for quite a while and nobody had the ability to have the backing of a president and a movement that wants them out? Now, I think some people in the Maha movement think. They can blame the world for their own lack of fitness or whatever, maybe. Okay, you can make that point. And just because we have a lot of processed food, you have to succumb to it. But for convenience sake, and also unearthing what's been in front of us, and particularly with kids. I gave you some of the stats just when you're in about dyes and processed food and things of that nature. How can you quibble with that? Well, Josh Shapiro likes saying the word chaos. And I'm not making it up. You'll be able to read his memoir. Don't buy it. Just see the excerpts. Trying to explain away why he has such a bad reputation, even among driven politicians. By saying he's like that because his mother used to yell and had mental issues. And he had a largely unhappy childhood. And as a result of that, he took on this control freak stuff. He said, you can understand why. My God, is there anything this guy won't do to explain spin something? I mean, if you heard me over the years, way ahead of the curve, I'm going back 15 or 20 years. This guy is as far out there as any political candidate we've ever seen. As far as control, chameleon-like, it is just incredible. And when they picked Tim Walz up, well, first of all, they're dumb. I mean, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was able to pick Lyndon Johnson. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Lyndon Johnson wanted to kill each other because he knew Johnson moved up, win Texas. And then he put him on ice, and he did. Kamala Harris couldn't figure a way to put Josh Shapiro on ice. Wow. She's got to be pretty bad, and he has to project something that is malevolent behind the scenes. What about my artwork? How much artwork can I put in there? The clock is ticking. You're trying to win a presidential race.
And that's what you have to put up with this guy. You got to beat him. All right, who's the guy they're looking at as a lieutenant governor? According to a news report. And Stacey, please, let's get off this guy. Henry, I had him one when I was at WWDB. It goes back that far. John Ventry, I would say, is the leading UFO monger in the country. And when I told you that, you were looking like, well, you know, there's a lot of people who like conspiracies and UFOs. Yeah. Maybe he would be helpful. Can you see Josh Shapiro putting on a bib because of the saliva? Oh, yeah, like lobster, like he starts speaking. He starts tying it on. Yeah, they're not going to talk about Stacey Garrity and all. They're going to say, you've got a UFO guy there. Yeah, you're not serious. You got this guy. Chaos. Chaos. Chaos in the Capitol. So his name is mentioned. They're apparently having some degree of difficulty. We talk to Guy Sharaki a little bit about this with finding somebody to run for a lieutenant governor. I realize at this point in time, Josh Shapiro looks like a juggernaut. But he's got a glass jaw. He's never really had someone challenge him. All out. I mean, you talk about Bum of the Month Club. I don't think Joe Lewis would have fought a bum of the month named Doug Mastriano. I was watching Rocky the other day. You know, they want some guy colorful. Yeah, the Italian stallion. Put him in there on July 4th. Josh Shapiro, get me Doug Mastriano. Then he publicizes Doug Mastriano while saying what a menace he is. But he publicized him because he knew what he was going to do. Okay, coming up yesterday. What a spectacle over in Jersey. What a spectacle in Davos today. The great E.J. Antony is next. Then we'll take your calls. Breaking down what President Trump did, he did on the way to Davos. He did put in an executive order to stop Wall Street from buying up single family homes. We'll see what E.J. thinks about it. I'm on board. I think he is. Are we renouncing capitalism? All right. First, though, let's talk Diane Cardano and what we have coming up on the 31st.

Thanks for listening to Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on demand. What's that guy's name there in Davos, Henry, that you like? Is it Claus Schwab? Yeah. Hey, Claus. Come on over here. Sit down. Yeah, let's do a remote from there in Davos. Imagine that guy, we'd be in a Gulag somewhere in the middle of Germany inside a half hour. All right, E.J. Antony is an incredible resource to have. He is the acting director at the Thomas A. Row Institute for Economic Policy Studies and Grover M. Herman Center for the federal budget. And he joins us periodically when we have big moments like this lot going on with the economy markets. I'm looking pretty good, the last five minutes that I look. Let's go to E.J. Hey, E.J., a question for you. Have you ever been to the World Economic Forum? I have not, nor would I ever quite frankly. Why? What's the objection? Oh, dear goodness. Could you have a more poorly named gathering? There's nothing economic about it. It is socialist. It is communist. And that's about the end of it. Yeah, it's the John Kerry, the face of it, and Klaus Schwab, E.J., telling us, our better is telling us how we should live and what they're going to do. So before the president left, I don't think he announced it there, it was announced in flight. He did do what we talked about before, an executive order, Wall Street, single family homes. Your thoughts on it. Well, I think the president, first off, made a lot of really great points. He's coming into this, or I should say he came into this from a real position of strength. People have seriously underestimated how good the U.S. economy is right now relative to the rest of the world. I don't think most Americans understand just how bad economic growth is, for example, in essentially the entirety of Europe. We're even growing faster than China right now, if you can believe that. That hasn't been true in ages. So again, this idea that somehow the president is going into a hostile environment, yes, that's true in a certain sense, but he's also going in there with the strongest poker hand at the table, if you will. And so when he says something, that doesn't mean it can simply be ignored.
And I know things like Greenland have gotten a lot of attention, and Denmark is basically trying to brush that off. Like, no, it's not going to happen. What are they going to do about it? I mean, at the end of the day, look at Canada. We threw Canada into a recession by getting into a terror fight with them. We have so much economic power over the rest of the world. At the end of the day, how much of a fight are they really going to be able to put up? And I think that's all part of the message that. that he's been delivering. It's kind of the hammer that he's been dropping. Me, Jay, I wanted to go back, though. Did you have a chance to see the executive order? He did it. Not there, but when he was going there, that you and I talked about around the housing. And some cities, it is astounding how much of Wall Street, 20% of homes, new homes, single-family homes are owned by some Wall Street company. Yeah, absolutely. And look, at the end of the day, Dom, I'm fundamentally a free market guy, right? I grew up with Larry Cudlow, my good friend now, telling me that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. And that's just as true today as it was back then. But I think that this can be seen as a good step in the right direction because it's trying to correct not even necessarily a failure of the free market, but a failure. of government, chiefly regulation, where we have so over-regulated the mortgage lending market. And we have created all of these artificial problems, essentially, that it didn't have to be that way. This is going to help correct that to a certain extent. It's not a cure-all. It's not the only thing that needs to be done. And it's not even a perfect fix. It is a Band-Aid. I admit it. But I think it's better than nothing. What's next on the horizon, E.J. Look in your crystal ball a little bit after Davos and the rest of it. I think the president is going to drill down on affordability, go across the country. What are you watching either in Congress or in the markets or something? What occupies you right now? Well, in terms of Congress. Unfortunately, we have to keep a real close eye on them, but not because they're doing anything good. We just got to keep a real close eye on the spending that's going on there. And as much as we can create some pressure to try to get that down. The executive can only do so much when it comes to reducing fraud and waste and reducing headcount in the federal bureaucracy. At some point, you are going to need Congress to do the heavy lifting. So keeping a very close eye on the clowns on the hill. and seeing what they're doing. Also, though, keep continuing to monitor all the good progress being done on the deregulatory front, including from the Small Business Administration. They have been real champions in this administration for getting rid of onerous regulation and just all this nonsense that it's not a matter of keeping the air and the water clean, for example, Dom. It's just nonsense that's creating bureaucratic bloat that's not saving lives. It's not saving the environment. It's there to create, again, bureaucratic jobs. And getting rid of that and reducing costs has already paid big dividends. And I think it's going to continue to do that. Lastly, keeping a close eye on the latest economic forecast, we just got data literally minutes ago from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
They're now calling for 5.4% GDP for the fourth quarter of last year. That would be an absolute blockbuster number if we get that. It's just, and Trump is getting more sensitive, E.J., yesterday during that one year, two hours he did, talking about getting the message out, meaning the PR aspect of this, I think all these things in the macro level are tremendous. It's just convincing Americans and hopefully the tax refund, the big beautiful bill, that will do it that things are turning. I'm hoping they're turned before the midterms. I agree, Dom, although I will say, I want to caution the president here. Don't fall into the same mistake that Biden did. No matter how many times Joe Biden told everybody how great things were and said, don't believe your lying eyes, don't believe your empty wallets, the economy's great, you're doing fine. Nobody believed him. That's why the Democrats lost so monumentally in November. losing, as everyone knows, not just the electoral college, but the popular vote in every single swing state. And a lot of these margins weren't even anywhere near as close as we thought they were going to be in terms of within the individual states. So I would say, Mr. President, it's not just a matter of telling everybody things are great. I think we also have to recognize that we are growing fast, but from a low level. Right. Yes, inflation is down and people's incomes are growing faster than prices now, but again, from a very depressed level. We've seen people's inflation-adjusted weekly paychecks on average, Dom, rise roughly 1.5% since Trump took office. That's great. We're moving in the right direction. But also, we haven't yet made up for the 4% drop that we had under Biden. So again, Both things can be true at the same time. We can say the economy is doing much better today than it was before, and we can also say people are still hurting. Yeah, I'm absolutely always there, E.J., with you on that. I'm not saying call it a hoax or neglected or just look at the macro, but I think he's talking, too, about saying that, and then adding, but we realize, you know, your individual, you may not be seeing it yet, and here are the things you're going to see over the next several months that I think are going to be more tangible. I think that's eminently fair, Dom. And when you look at what is coming down the pike, I know you've mentioned so many times on your show, the big, beautiful bill. And as all of those different provisions kick in and as people start taking advantage of them, that's going to be huge. You've already seen people adjusting their withholdings to start this year because they could have done it last year since the bill was retroactive, but a lot of people just didn't know about it.
It's very common at the beginning of the year. People will adjust those withholdings, so you're seeing that happen. Also, as people file their taxes, and they get much bigger refunds than anticipated, that's also a clue for a lot of them to change those withholdings, to say, okay, I don't need to have as much withheld for my paycheck every week because it just means that the government's going to end up repaying me. Why would I give the government? a free loan for a year, essentially. So as that happens, you're not only going to see, again, big refunds in April, some of the biggest ever. Some families, depending on how many people are working, it'll easily be $1,000 or $2,000 more than they would have gotten anyway. But on top of that, it'll be people, again, adjusting those withholdings that will increase take-home pay, and that'll mean more consumer spending and faster economic growth. Absolutely. E.J., where do we follow you on X or Twitter? The handle there is at Real E.J. and Tony, and that's going to be the best place to find me. E.J., thank you. Thanks very much here. Thank you, Dom. All right. E.J. and Tony here, big day. Henry's guy when plugged in, Davos, never been there. Come on. Everybody's got to go to it. I don't understand why these guys, Roe is even worse than I am, hating winter, hating to cold. Wouldn't you do it in a tropical thing there on the beach, whatever? Why go to this? Oh, it's Switzerland. Beautiful skiing. Come on. Yeah, well, I figure it has something with the money. It's the world economic form. And you think banking, you think the Swiss. Well, I would think corrupt banks in Florida are just as good. Yeah, it's got to be. Probably. South Philly has them, too. Come on over here, guys. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. We're coming to your calls. 130, we'll hear Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. fresh off this big event that kicked off today, the Eat Real Food Tour. I wonder how many people are trying to do that already. Or is this just all keeping score with Mahan? We like what's going on here. I'll ask him to, I think they're going to say, well, we've recommended instead of 72 vaccination points in childhood, only 38 shots. I don't know in Jersey. It might be more than 72. Okay. And by the way, a lot of fun with where Mikie Sherrill held her ball last night. Oh, my God, in that mall in Newark. It looked like the Lawrence Welk show with people selling pants right next door to where they were holding the ball. Did she really want to do that? Maybe. All right. And how are those electric costs over in Jersey today? She's put a freeze on them for now. We'll explain why that's, of course, scam. 855, 839. The recap show is an inside look for fans into the world of global soccer, women's sports, and all things, gal culture. From the inside perspective of two World Cup champions and Olympians. Follow and listen to the recap show wherever you get your podcast. 1210. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT on demand, on demand. All right, there might be some pretty good characters there. I think I've interviewed a couple. We're looking for all-time sidekick in a sitcom coming off Dwight Shrewts, of course, the office, arguably top five, I would say, and they kind of steal the show. Also,
Here is, and this woman, this is cut 10, has been fired. We need to almost daily do a wild white women segment of just the nastiest, wildest things. What is propelling these women forward? This woman is a registered nurse and was the vice president of Home First Choice in Ohio, kind of a home care thing. Chandra. Petri. I can't pronounce. It's a tough name. I'm going to say that's Sharik. Sharik, they threw like every consonant. I'll take Z's together about going after Karoline Leavitt and what she wishes for her. And she knows she's being taped. She knows she's the VP. She's a nurse, etc. On Twitter. What she wishes, she seems to think she can skate because she doesn't wish ill on the baby per se. She wants to be the baby in some bizarro Rosemary's baby thing, I think, to be the one that kind of cripples Karoline Leavitt. And it's in detail. Here's what she said. My wish for Karoline Leavitt. She is pregnant with a baby girl. And I truly do. Hope that baby is so healthy. I hope she's healthy and headstrong. So headstrong, in fact, that as she is emerging into this world through Caroline's geriatric deck garage, that she tears her from about a fucking stern. Grade four tear. Like so big that when she gets out of the shower naked and walks across the room, like she accidentally picks up dog toys. Yeah. That's my wish for you, Caroline. The nature of it. Now think of this woman's background. Think of how many of these we've been through. What is it that is propelling them? And we've, there's an emptiness, there's a hatred, there is just, would you not think for your own self-preservation? And it's one thing. If you saw Karoline Leavitt, you yelled something, you know, or you saw somebody on the right, you yelled something at them. Okay. But this is calculated to sit there and put this out for the world, given your position. Yeah. Is that the Rosemary's baby thing? It's a lullaby, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mia Farrow looks brutal in that. Oh, my God. Was it the haircut or what? Well, I don't know how Mia Farrow was married, but I don't know which one's worse by Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, like what? Yeah. Is Woody Allen, maybe, I guess. Then the bizarro world there with the daughter and the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. The guy who plays the husband, and he's a good actor. He does a great thing on his deal with the devil. Really good. And Hutch in Rosemary's Baby, I think, is a great character. John, yes. Yeah, John, yeah. And who's Hutch? I've seen him in a lot of things. I'm not sure. Hutch takes one. Maurice Evans. Yeah, Maurice Evans takes one for the team. They got his glove, and that was enough. That's it.
Okay, coming up, we're going to talk with the great Dawn Fantasia, Assemblywoman from Sussex County in New Jersey, her breakdown yesterday of Mikie Sherrill, Mikie Sherrill going colonial. Trump is King George. Jersey is overthrowing that. The emphasis on Jersey is one of the biggest colonial states. Not so much. And then at 130, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. A lot to ask him if you have a question to put in because we got at least 15 minutes with him. We'll hear it out. Here's how you get in. 855, 839, 1210. Dom Jirano, weekdays, noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom's your Donna. On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. Okay, it is Dom time during the governor's race, which was the highlight of the last year as far as intensity, involvement, up and down the line. Don Fantasia was a great surrogate for Jack Cheddarell, and on her own, breaking down exactly Mikie Sherrill and where this goes. And one of the things you're going to be hearing is, well, look. Not even first day in. During her inauguration speech, she signed an executive order freezing electricity rates. Is that true? And then months from now, people will get their month, they'll get their bill and they'll say, well, wait a minute, what's frozen about this? What is the scam? What is it she's trying to do? My eye, and I'll let Dawn go where she wants to go, is on the Attorney General in Pennsylvania. They're going to go after anybody in any way, shape, or form. They will weaponize that office even more than Murphy did. And in the speech yesterday, comparing Trump to King George and saying, ICE are like the British troops, standing army in our cities, and really buffing up, who knew, Jersey? seemed to be the number one state when it came to colonial America. I mean, I thought it was Pennsylvania and Virginia. Oh, no, it was Jersey. You know, over there in Newark and places like that, that's where they took on the red coats. They're going to do it again with Mikie Sherrill. All right, let's go to Dawn Fantasia here, Assemblywoman, Sussex County. Hey, Dawn, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. Were you at any of the events yesterday? No, I was not. I respectfully declined. I respectfully declined. So, Dawn, let's start. Breakdown, and I think you put it up on Twitter a couple times, exactly what will she do to pretend like we're getting progress on electricity rates, for example? All right. So what she rolled out is the first big move, the so-called state of emergency on utility costs. Right. You know, the way she sold this yesterday and even during the campaign, you'd think families are finally going to get relief. But when you actually look at what's happening, absolutely nothing is happening. So if you freeze one small piece of a massive electric bill, it doesn't make electricity affordable. The rest of the bill keeps rising. So you have capacity charges, transmission fees.
grid modernization surcharges, renewable compliance, all of that green. None of that's frozen. None of those fees are going away. But here's the joke. Then here come the quote-unquote credits. This is the part that people don't realize until you spell it out for them. That money is not coming from the state. It's not coming from Washington or Donald Trump. It's coming from you. We pay two things, the Clean Energy Fund. It's paid for through a mandatory surcharge on your electric bill. And then we have Reggie, that disaster, the regional greenhouse gas initiative, complete nonsense. And it's paid through higher supply charges. So it's on your bill because power plants are forced to buy carbon allowances. And then they pass that clock on to us, right? Our states and Mikie Sherrill, oh, we're using Reggie and the Clean Energy Fund to help you. Let me translate that. That's we're giving you back a pittance of your money that we already took for you for programs that don't work or make the air any cleaner or the water any cleaner. So we're paying more. The state collects the money and then they give it a little bit back to you and say, oh, here's relief. How does that lower the cost of energy? And freezing bills at the highest point that they've been, this is lunacy, lunacy, and with big smiles. Isn't this great? No, it's not great. It's horrible. But let's give credit, given the environment we're in with the media and the money she had at the beginning of the campaign, Dawn. She got out from under what should have been the anvil that she had to carry the whole campaign on affordability. And they let her do it. I think in the first month or so she was able to dismiss that. And she just said that, blightfully, every time it came up that she was going to on day one, stop this. Well, of course, but here's the problem. The real problem never gets addressed. Right. Right. New Jersey doesn't produce enough reliable power. Right. We shut down base boat plants, block new generation. You know, we replaced any modicum of reliability with ideology. So now we have a string grid. And actually, me and Assemblyman Greg Meyer from Ocean County were part of a collaboration between a bunch of different states, Pennsylvania being one of them. And just this past week, we met out in Annapolis for our second meeting. We were in Harrisburg back in the fall about what we can do because we literally have legislatures and governors that are so out of tune with reality. And when one governor does something ludicrous, it affects the entire grid. And New Jersey and Maryland specifically, we're like leeches on the power grid. And thank God the legislature in Pennsylvania put enough pressure on your governor there, Josh Shapiro. to drop the red dam, right? Because we're all patting ourselves on the back and saying, oh, we're so clean energy, we're so pious. Meanwhile, we're buying energy, you know, from coal and natural gas. And thank God Pennsylvania was able to get a handle on that because you were going down the same slippery slope. We are, and Maryland is. It's a disaster. Did you like, did you see it as unexpected, saying it seemed to be Jersey.
was the number one state in colonial times, and that's where we're going to fight and not take it anymore. Pennsylvania, Virginia, nah, no, no, it was Jersey that did it. All this under the name, you know, pivoting to Trump as a king and Trump derangement syndrome, that's what it's like, and that's what the midterms are going to be about. But was there anything else that caught your eye yet? Well, I know. What is up with not swearing in on the Bible? At least one hand on the Bible if you want to put it on this other cockamamie book, okay. But no hand on the Bible. You know, I don't know what her religious leanings are or how that works. I think it's very performative to, you know, swear in. We had a new assembly member swear on a stack of the voter rolls. Now this one swearing in on the Declaration of Independence. I mean, it's all performative garbage. But, you know, I was not at the speech lab, but of course I listened to it. And, you know, when I was listening, I kept waiting for that moment where she was going to stop campaigning and start acting like a governor. And it never came. It felt like she was still running for office and, like, energizing the Democrats instead of standing there as a governor of New Jersey talking to families who are really, you know, under the wire right now. And all it was with symbolism, like you said, right? History, sweeping references, the American dream, what it means to be a nation, you know, all these different things. And then it segues. Constant references to Trump in Washington. And I just kept thinking, why are you talking about him? People aren't sitting at their kitchen table say, oh, Donald Trump, no. They're getting their electric bill, the property tax, the grocery bill, you know, whether they can afford to stay in the state. And instead of talking about that, if she wanted to stay in Washington, she should have stayed in Washington. She's in New Jersey. And you know, what made it impossible to ignore was how warm she praised Murphy, thanking him. Oh, his leadership framed the last eight years like it was something to build on. Insane. But my political year was what they're going for, and it's a caution to Trump. I think it's going to pivot now. We're not going into Greenland, no force. You notice in there talking about the Jersey people are not waking up every day at their kitchen table and wondered about Greenland. They want to know about affordability. So if they can throw this off on Trump, he's not paying attention, Dawn. They can continue to jack up costs. My God, I don't know what it's going to take for New Jersey to figure it out. But what New Jersey experienced over the past eight years, higher taxes, higher energy costs, more regulation, fewer choices, businesses closing, right? And you can't, she sat there and praised the actual people responsible who drove us into the mess. And now she's, I'm here to fix it. And Donald Trump, it was so unbelievable. And that's why this.
speech and her governorship. You know, you try to be optimistic going in. You try to not prejudge. But this is just a continuation. It was a message to the political class that the narrative is going to be protected. All the alliances are going to be the same. The only thing that's going to change is now we have a pretty face that's delivering it. That's it. That's the only change. Well, I got to say my change is, when we spoke throughout the campaign, I wasn't like Matt Rooney or Rich. Didn't get the juices going for me. I mean, the ideology and the policy got me going. She's happy, but you know what? Starting to wear on me now. There's a whiningness. There's a whole thing here. But you were the best because you combine the passion without, you know, personally going after her. I mean, I know it's a line here, but I don't sense that that's what sets you off. And what sets us off is, and what I'm hoping the issue is Dawn that wakes people up. is the issue of developers, which are in the game, coming into their communities for this phony affordable housing. Well, you know, we got dealt a hard blow just yesterday, I believe, where the lawsuit with the 27 municipalities, right, lost that because there is no relief offered at the federal level for this. So procedurally, this is all incorrect. You know, and again, putting her in that seat, 10 of those 27 towns put her in that seat and were towns that voted overwhelmingly for Mikie Sherrill. And here they are suing. Like, do they even know who they're voting for? And again, to get to your other point, it's never personal. And I say this, too, when we talk about, you know, to other legislators or whatnot, it's not about the person. It's about the ludicrous policy you're putting forward. There's no reason for me to get personal or, you know, talk about the governor specifically as a human or these legislators as a human. Not at all. It really is stop putting forth bad policy. They get very upset with us who are more outspoken, myself and some of my colleagues. And you know what my answer is to that? You don't want me to be critical. Stop passing stupid bills. Why don't we start there? And then you'll never have to listen to me again. Stop passing stupid things. You took away a bit of optimism there, though. I forgot about that. The 27 states, the 27 cities count, whatever. They voted for. I've been playfully going after Medford and Medford Lakes here locally because they had this really heated meeting. They're going to have to build 800 houses there for 174 affordable ones and all they went with that. And suddenly, Dawn, they went nuts right before the election. And yet they still both towns went for her. What in the world? You don't see that maybe on any other issue. Jack Ciattarelli, low taxes, and going to fight this development thing. She's going to enable it. She'll be cutting ribbons. What does it take? It just hasn't happened yet enough. I don't know if that's the case. I think people are in real pain and they're really suffering. And I think it's all about messaging and narrative and deflection and distraction. I mean, look it back in the day. And Matt Rooney talked about this because he was privy to it as well. When the energy crisis was really hitting the fan, you know, if the election was peeding up, the Democrats had a leaked memo.
where they said, oh, boy, we got to get a handle on this. We need to flip this narrative. Like, let's blame the Republicans. How do you blame the Republicans and the minority, right? For creating this debacle that was happening, but they were scrambling. You had to see the bobbing and the weaving and the nonsense and the fact that a Democrat in New Jersey actually ran on affordability. And, you know, my district mate, Mike and Gannimore, aptly pointed out. You know, she spoke, you know, thousands of words yesterday, and the word tax didn't come out of her mouth once. I wonder why. You know, surprise, surprise. Partying. Yeah, Dawn, I'm parting for you. I'm going to get into this. There's a piece here. Look, over in Camden, New Jersey, I know it's far for you, but probably on your radar screen. They have gone from worst. I don't know first, but I got to give them credit. It does seem to be much safer, but the cost is. a lot of surveillance. And the article here that I'm going to get into later, Dawn, calls Jersey the surveillance state, you know, drones and a bunch of other things. Is that talked about in the legislature? I mean, rather than enforcing the laws, having penalties that are going to be a deterrent, they're relying on just calling it the surveillance state. Is there anything that comes up around that? Your thoughts? In relation to crime, you're talking about directly. Yes. Yep. Okay. Well, actually, no, I haven't heard a peep about that whatsoever from a legislative standpoint. That hasn't hit us yet. However, this is another, you know, distraction. If we can keep talking about ice and painting ice in a negative light and trying to put up roadblocks against ice and ignoring, you know, the man who is awaiting trial for hurling rocks and fractures an eight-year-old, your third-grade little girl's head on a bus, you know. And if we can ignore that and just talk about, you know, how evil, quote unquote, ice is and how we need to thwart them, nobody's paying attention to, you know, surveillance or anything like that. Like there's a real, real divide here in the state. where the Democrats are not the party of law and order. The Republicans are the party of law and order. And, you know, meanwhile, you have, you know, creep of surveillance or whatnot. And again, that's really, that's really a Democrat initiative that's happening there. Now, I'm not placing a value judgment on that either way because living in one of those cities that's riddled with crime when you're trying to raise a family. And I can't even imagine the horror that that actually would be day to day because I don't currently live in Camden. But what I can say is they talk out both sides of their mouth. They claim to be the party of law and order and want to bring down crime in cities. You know, yet they try to restrict concealed carry, making everything a sensitive place so we can't protect ourselves. And then they demonize ice. So, you know, you kind of can't have it both ways. Republicans are pretty clear. We are the party of law and order. We want to crack down on crime. We support our police. We support our law enforcement. We support our prosecutors. I think the other side needs to start acting like it and get some type of unified message to protect New Jersey, and that's not happening. Absolutely. Dawn, thank you so much. I know how busy you've been. Where do we find you on X or Twitter?
On X, you can find me at Dawn Fantasia underscore NJ. And then on Facebook, you can search up Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia. Dawn, thank you. Stay well. Thanks, Dawn. Thanks, Tom. All right, Dawn Fantasia. So I've met in person. Got to get out to the hall down to Mulligans and all, but we got to do that. All right, just about 15 minutes away from a guy whose legacy, look, nobody's legacy is going to be bigger than Trump. But this guy already has a legacy. Bigger than any cabinet official that I remember over the last 20, 30, 40 years. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. will be here at 1.30. We'll take more of your calls coming up. 855-839, 1210.

WPHT on demand, on demand. All right, Dom to your Danos show, big issues, big guest. Chaos, Josh Shapiro says. Yeah, Henry, we were talking and getting some tea and coffee and all that during the break. Yeah, nerves would be there, but Josh Shapiro would be like Rocky, you know. Oh, yeah. Remember what they do with Creed? They do the breathing and then they pop in the gloves and the thing. Yeah, that's what it would be like. So I don't think Josh Shapiro will ever come on again. He's got a book to sell, though. Who knows? Can you imagine? We can play basketball, too. He's got a heck of a jump shot. He's not getting it off. He's going to have to drive to the basket. Not for charity. All right. Side question today. That all-time great second banana sidekick, maybe even dwarfed, who is supposedly the star of a sitcom. Tomorrow we have to do that. Is it Jim Bob or Joe Bob? Jim Bob Cooter. Jim Bob Cooter. I mean, everybody else is turning down. He's my odds on. Look, I don't care about the Eagles offense. I just want to see Jim Bob Cooter press conferences in Philadelphia. Oh, my God. Does he have a Southern accent? Do we have any color? You know what? I don't know. I have to look at you. Tomorrow we'll do that. We'll be looking for something Southern. All right. Dan and Richborough Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Dan. Hi, Dom. Thank you for taking my call. You're welcome. I think the most important thing I'd have to ask you to ask, because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is coming up in 12 minutes, is ask him to explain to you the Danish government, what they did with vaccinations in Africa when vaccinations were before six months, what the rate of injury was versus after the baby was six months old. It's unbelievable. It will definitely change your mind. Okay, so you support it? Yes, because the babies were, that there's 30 years worth of data, just referenced 30 years worth of data that he will tell you what that data said. If you vaccinated a baby before this period, I think it was before five months, there was a, they have a life expectancy of X, and if you did it after six months, after six months old.
It was a life expecting of X plus 20 years. It was really crazy. Well, it's on my list, and you raise something, too, that maybe throws it off a little bit. Denmark's not like us, but I get what you're saying. The other part of this is they're afraid is the argument the other side, Dan. If you don't do it when you have the mom and everything, you know, in the clutches, then it's not going to get done. And I was going to ask them that, what's the safeguard on that? Or... Can we throw it up in the air and say, well, it's kind of parental rights to do or not to do some of this stuff? Yeah, I don't know, but he just cites 30 years worth of a study that's phenomenal. Well, I'm looking, you know, why? Because that's the type of thing that might get them pretty fired up. So I will put it on the list after we get into saturated fats. Come on now. And can I go to Mikey Schro for 30 seconds? Sure, sure. I personally believe as a man, and I think that you're a man also. We might differ on what the definition of it is. I think we both know. But the American dream is being able to provide a house for my wife and my children. And that dream, the home, buying a home is part ownership in this thing we call America. Right. So that is like my quintessential right, with exception to being able to have free speech. Owning my own plot of land is my number one priority for my family. I would agree with that. Yes. So for Mikie Sherrill and affordability, have her go to Davos, have her go to the private investment firms, and stop using their real estate investment trusts that get better tax breaks, and stop the affordability and buying my pizza property, buy the malls, and put an 800-unit place in the mall that's now debunk. She's talking about the malls. We'll see. You know, I'd... And she's on my list for 2026, Dan. You know, I'm going to give Henry tomorrow my top 10 list. And then we're going to see, are these too much to ask? The real estate investment trust has a tax advantage over you and I, our token, and everybody listening to buy real estate. Exactly. So my favorite, one of my favorite sidekicks. And I really was difficult to get through the episode one of the guy named's Coach Beard, a Ted Lasso. But the best thing about Ted Lasso, and Sean actually agreed with me, every time you watched it, you felt better than when you began watching. Oh, absolutely. It was a total pick-me-up show. So my favorite sidekick is Coach Beard. All right, gotcha. Band is really coming on as one of the callers of the year here. I think he's threatening some of the top dogs here. The thing I like about it, and I know it strikes fear in the heart, you couldn't do that. If you're in last place, what happens? You don't get the number one draft pick. You get kicked out. Relegated. Well, that's the whole, the word of you, that's the whole thing. Don't be relegated.
Imagine what that last game of the year would be like in the NFL. Oh, my God. Oh, the urgency that the teams play with. I mean, because those top four spots, you know, they go to the Champions League, those bottom three, it's like, oh, we got to beat the crap out of each other real quick because we need to stay here. Imagine, particularly to your point, the guy that owns Pittsburgh. Hey, buddy, no more free ride. You're going to spend your money or you're out. Go get, yeah, go get relegated for the Modesto nuts of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Like, come on, dude, try a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Colorado. I think, look, I know it could be dangerous, but I think it'd be refreshing. All right, coming up. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be with us. Thanks for that question from Dan. Henry may chip in with one. I'll all keep the texting. They're already ringing the bell here, almost as much with Danny Seisler as last week. 855-839-1210. You get in.

And my, if you hear dings during this, it's not as bad as with the cops when we had Danny Seisler here, but Michael Pelka, I'm sitting in, you know, Wegmans here in 2002. Bring some chocolate chips back, Mike. And I don't want to go inside. I don't want to miss a moment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. That's what we try to do. We're all in this together. You're actually going to hear from the guy. One listener wanted to know about Roundup and Cancer. Yeah. I'd stay away from it. Don't be doing roundup. Edge it out of there. Do something. Okay. But I will ask what Dan brought up. Why the Danes? Why are we going to Denmark? We're trying to get Greenland off them. But we're also doing their vaccine schedule, their vaccination schedule for childhood for kids. So he'll be here momentarily. Big rally in Harrisburg at the Capitol. It is the start of the Eat Real Food rally and press conference. Could have gone a little bit long, but I know he'll be traveling and on the phone with us, I guess unless Trump calls him, it won't be interrupted, you know. They gave us a half hour, but I know it gets chipped away by. You know, there's a million people. This guy is having as big of an impact other than a president of anybody that we've seen, and I think might run in 2028. I don't think that's an outside possibility at all. And I see the ringing bells in the producer's lounge there is scrambling. They're putting down their beers and are ready to go here with the Dom Jir Dano show.
And again, I've tried to take as many questions as I've gotten from you and go with some of them, work some of them in around Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Again, the number one thing is this Eat Real Food tour at the moment. And that's where the most impact has happened and the most stuff that we can reliably say. for the first year has been remarkably effective. Without further ado, big issues, big guests. Let's go to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Secretary, welcome back to Philadelphia. Thanks for joining us today. Dom, thank you for having me. Well, you and I have talked at least eight to ten times over the years once we did an environmental conference at Holy Family College with you. I was a long time ago. Yes, we both have come many miles. So I see you gave some bullet points today. For you personally, hearing it from you, if you had to take away one thing in this first year, which has been chock full of reform, what's the thing that makes it worth it, what you've gone through to get to here? 20, 30 years of talking about these things. What's the number one thing that's accomplished? Well, I mean, I think one of the big accomplishments we had this year that was most challenging but most successful was the reduction on drug prices. The last 30 years we've been paying. The same drug made in the same factory in New Jersey. We pay 5, 10, up to 13 times what they pay in Europe for that drug. That drug. And every president, Biden, Bush, Obama, and Clinton have all said we're going to fix this discrepancy. Nobody's been able to do it. We fix it this year. We now have agreements with the top 16 drug companies and the nations of Europe. that we are going to pay the lowest prices in the world is going to dramatically bring down drug pricing in this country. And I think that is a pocketbook affordability issue that everybody in this country is going to benefit from another great accomplishment with the food pyramid and the dietary guidelines for 50 years. The dietary guidelines have been based not on good science, not on public health, but on serving the mercantile interest of the ultra-processed food companies that had captured FDA. So they were telling us to eat refined carbohydrates, ultra-processed food, sugars and salts that have made us the thickest generation in history and the sickest people in the world. We have the highest chronic disease burden. of any country in the world. Forty cents now, and every taxpayer dollar goes to treating diet-related chronic disease. And we've now flipped the food pyramid. We're telling people to eat real food. American should be eating protein, meat, dairy, milk, cheeses, vegetables, and fruits, and high-fiber grain. And that is going to drive a cultural change in American food.
We, it's going to change what serves in school lunches. It's going to change what serves in prison and the military and the VA hospitals on Head Start, the Wix program, food stamps, snap program, and the India tribes. And it is going to drive. good food back into the marketplace so that it's available and affordable for every American. Now, I'm a pescaturians, pretty much a vegetarian, and I'm on board with you. I get the protein part of it. I get a lot of the stuff you had to go through to get this done. But tell me why I feel am I got a little bit of fighting back too much from the saturated fats. What am I missing? That seems to be a real focal point. In other words, a saturated fat idea had gotten a bad name, and you think it shouldn't be that way. Yeah, I mean, well, protein, we made a war on protein for the past 40 years. And the war was driven not by real science, but by politicized science and by entrenched interests, particularly the ultra-processed food manufacturers who were trying to move us away from healthy food to the foods that benefited their bottom line. And they got a hold of some of the big health organizations, including in the past the American Heart Association, which has now come around. And we recognize that we need to end the war on proteins and saturated fat, which was not science-based, and we need to get Americans to be eating more proteins. Is there a diet in the world that resembles what you and your people have come up with flipping the pyramid? Is there a place in the world you looked at as a model? Because I know we're modeled for childhood vaccine, which we'll get to after Denmark, what they're doing. Is there a place that does this? Mediterranean diet. Is it like that? The Mediterranean diet is great. I'm on a carnivore diet myself, which has had, for me, extraordinary health benefits. But, yeah, I mean, we're not telling people what to eat. We're giving them a range of foods. And everybody is different. Everybody has different needs. And you can't just tell everybody to eat the same thing. But we're giving them a range of foods and telling them, generally speaking, eat real food. And don't eat the sugar. Added sugars are always bad for you. They're never good for you. and stay away from refined carbohydrates, stay away from ultra-processed food and try to eat, you know, whatever you're comfortable with, but make sure it's real. If it comes in a package, it looks like it belongs in the package, don't open the package because there's nothing good that's going to come from it.
We're talking with Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I'm glad to see you on here, and I'm very friendly with Dr. Oz, and I know he's talked about it a little bit. There's not recommendations on alcohol consumption. I'm a red wine guy. I kid myself against the health benefits of that. Why are you taking it easier on things like wine in this recommendation? Well, there's no real recommendation. Those are personal choices. Everybody knows that you should reduce the amount of drinking. Some people can drink, and it's a social benefit to them. It's a social lubricant. Other people, like myself, should never have any kind of drink. And so having a one-size-fit-all cookie-cutter recommendation for everybody is not a good idea. You know, people, and by the way, you put an alcohol level in the dietary guidelines. How many Americans are going to pay attention to that? How many kids were drinking on a Saturday night at a party? Well, wait a minute. I shouldn't have six beers because the dietary guidelines told me not to. So it was kind of ridiculous and it discredits the whole thing. It's really personalized. And, you know, I think everybody knows you should limit alcohol use. We don't need to tell you that. uh secretary you should know this and you probably hear from a lot of people i tell you in talk radio though the stuff that you're doing and dr marty is a friend of the show has been on the stuff that you guys are doing is the talk of talk radio Many times it gets even bigger than just the news of the day, Greenland or whatever. This is the stuff that people really care about and they recognize and really pay attention to the details of what you're talking about. So I had a call today that said, make sure you ask the secretary this. Why the Denmark, why the approach of the Danes when it comes to childhood vaccination? You know the criticism, different country, not diverse. Why is that the model or the template we're using? Really, the model was the consensus model for all the European countries. And the Danes embody that the best. They basically are requiring the vaccines that are required everywhere, recommending the vaccines that are recommended everywhere else. Some of them have additions, some of them have subtractions. So it wasn't necessarily Denmark. But Denmark also has one of the best data collection systems. So a lot of the American schedule is based upon Danish studies. And Denmark, you know, you can look at infectious disease rates. The rate, you know, they have no hepatitis B.
vaccine and Denmark. It's hard to even get it over there for babies. And yet they have the same rate of hepatitis infections as we do in our country. And what we're trying to do is minimize the risk and also encourage people. to trust the vaccine schedule. And what the Danes and the other Europeans have found is that the more vaccines that you add, the less people are willing to comply. And so you lose people who should be complying with the vaccines that we consider necessary and advisable. Secretary, now that you were in Harrisburg today, and I have sparred with this guy many, many times over the years, but I think one of the leading Democrat candidates in 2028, Josh Shapiro, of course, hit you with his favorite word. He uses it with the president, but he used it today on your conference there. Chaos! that you are provoking chaos here by some of these reforms that are widely applauded and accepted. What's your response to the chaos charge? I mean, I've gotten more done as H.H. Secretary in a single year, and I think everybody recognized this. Exactly. And then he's a HHS Secretary in history, and I don't know what governor... Josh Shapiro is complaining about that I've gotten rid of food dyes in our food, in our children's food. I'm reforming baby formulas so people to get the contaminants, the cadmium, the mercury, the lead out of baby formula, and make sure that the nutrients actually reflect science, modern science, not 30-year-old science. We've gotten the food pyramid, so people are going to be eating real food. We're fixing the SNAP program, so SNAP isn't paying for soda drinks for a population that then goes, 78% of them go on Medicaid, and we pay for their diabetes treatments. You know, I really don't understand. These are all issues that were democratic issues before I got in there. And now suddenly the Democrats are taking the side of the processed food companies. instead of public health. And it makes no sense to me, but I think it's part of the old Trump's arrangement syndrome. If Trump likes it, we got to hate it, and it's not good for our country, and it's not good for our children, and there are no such thing. As Democratic children or Republican children, we all need to be concerned with children's health. Now, mentioning the president, again, you referenced Dr. Odd, a couple of fun things here. Dr. Oz feels that the president is more testosterone than most or 99% of 70-year-olds? Yeah, he told me that he had the highest testosterone levels he's ever seen in somebody over 70.
You know, the president does have tremendous energy, like nothing I've ever seen. I have a lot of energy, but he wears me down. He doesn't seem to ever sleep, and he has an idea a minute, and he's, you know, he has an extraordinary constitution, so he doesn't eat well. He eats a lot of crappy food, but somehow he's got a, he's got the... He's got the Constitution of a deity. I don't know what it is, but he's a very Robert F. Kennedy Jr. phrasing, if I might add. That sounds like legit. That's the language. When you said that, the deity, yeah, that's the type of thing I would expect. Your own workout, regimen, I wanted to ask you, because we were intrigued. My producer and I are trying to do one pull-up. I don't know how many you got credit for with Duffy, who won there. But what's your advice on that? What do you do? How much weight lifting? What do you do every day? How do you do that? Well, I lift every day. Once you get past, I think, 60, 65, you start to lose a lot of muscle mass. But you can keep it on. You can counter that by eating a lot of protein and by working out every day, but you have to lift. As we keep your bones healthy, what keeps your circulatory system healthy, and it's what builds muscle mass. And, you know, I have seven kids that I've got to keep up with, and I do all sports. I ski with them. I, you know, play football. I do, you know, I do wind surfing and everything else with my kids. I want to keep up with them, and I want to watch them grow up. And, you know, I can do that because I spend a little bit of time every day making sure that I don't, my body is not declining. We're talking with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the most serious areas and wanted to hear from the guy himself from you identified with. Of course, I'm a former teacher. I had a master's in special ed. So I've seen autism. I've seen various forms of it. Where are we now with this? How well received is this? The Autism Society is on board with you? Is there a contention? And give us a sense of where we go next with what you're looking at. Well, you know, it's a controversial issue. We know this. In 1970, the biggest epidemiological study in history was done in the autism rates then were 0.7 and 10,000. So less than one in every 10,000 kids today, they're 1 in 31. And the question that nobody can answer is, why is this happening? And those scientific studies because of regulatory malpractice have never been done. So for the first time in history of President Trump's orders, we are identifying the environmental cause of the autism epidemic, and we're looking at everything. We're going in without any predisposition, and we're going to follow the science. Well, I'm in the camp that thinks is some of this. And hearing it from you would mean a lot. If you dismiss me on this, then I take it. Now, I'll come back the next time we talk with a better argument. Isn't some of it we've done a better job of identifying? We've lengthened the spectrum. It's appalling the numbers. There's got to be something more than that. But in your mind, does that contribute to that 1 in 31 number? It contributes a very, very small amount.
And there are a number of really big peer-reviewed studies that say, no, this epidemic is real. But you don't even need the scientific study. You just need to look at adults. So people born before 1989, the autism rates are still what historical rates in my generation, 70-year-old men, it's still one in 10,000. And my children's generation is one in 31. So we're really better diagnoses. You would see it in older people, not just young people. And we're only seeing it in the kids born after 89. Do you feel confident, Secretary, over the next year, we might see another area because of the research. I know it's around the clock going on on in this. In other words, we talked about Tylenol already. But is there something else on the horizon that might be coming up that's going to be in the public focus? I think, you know, there's pretty good science on Tylenol right now, particularly in the perinatal period. So the worst time to give Tylenol is immediately before the birth of the child or within the month after the birth of a child. And there's very, very strong science on that. And, but, you know, autism, like all of these chronic diseases, is more multifactorial in its ideology. So there's going to be not just one answer. There's going to be many, and it's, you know, it all has to do with the stress that we're putting on our mitochondria, our metabolic health. You know, our kids are swimming around in a toxic soup right now. It's coming to them from food. and pharmaceuticals, from the air, water, everything else. And we are going to identify. We're going to be able to identify the principal causes. But there's not going to be one answer. There may be some real villains, and I think Tylenol is one of those. But we're not going to come out with one single answer. It's going to be multifactorial. Secretary, thanks for so generous of the time. Good luck with the Eat Real Food tour that's going on. Where will we see you next on that? Is this going to be nationwide? I'm going right now across the country, so I'm in Harrisburg today. I'll be all over Pennsylvania, and then we start on a real tour, a lot of work, but we want to get the word out. I've got to ask you, though, one question. So if you come here, we talked about saturated fats and all. If you come to Philadelphia and do it here, because this city you can imagine, is the cheese steak okay in the pyramid? Is that way out of bounds?
I'm going to continue eating cheesecake all right. All right. Secretary, thank you so much. Thanks for joining us today. Thank you. All right. There's Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Would you take that as an uncommittal answer on the cheesecake or a rousing cheese steak endorsement? It was a cheese steak endorsement for sure. I don't know about, you know, subbing the bun out. Yeah, well, that's right. We're just going to be eating the cheese steak. All right. You heard a little bit of the workout stuff with him too. All right. Boy, I worked out yesterday. I have to go again today. Come on. Sound like Trump when you say that. Yeah. 855, 839, 12, 10. Give me your reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. 855, 839, 12, 10. We'll get Henry and we'll get Sean's. I hope we got into the questions. And with autism, I just try to throw the ball out there and let him go where he was with it to kind of give you a preview. You heard his argument about Denmark. I'm still in the camp. And look, he does this every day. It seems to me logical, though, the 1 in 31, some of it's coming that were better. looking at autism, put more people on the spectrum, more at the low end, that kind of stuff. But yes, there are definitely other elements that are out there. There have to be. What are they? All right. We'll get your response. 855, 839, 1210. Every week on the Moth podcast, you'll hear true stories that will intrigue you, inspire you, and make you laugh. He said, is there anything in your diet that might be spiking your blood sugar? I said, sometimes I eat pizza until I'm unconscious. He said, I think that might be it. For real stories live on stage from comedians, astronauts, accountants, farmers, and people just like you, follow and listen to the Moth wherever you get your podcasts.
This talk radio 1210, WPHT, on demand, on demand. All right, big issues, big guests. I'd love to get your reaction, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Some of the personal stuff, some of the stuff on autism, I save that toward the end, the Danes and vaccine. You heard his rationale for that. Robert and Ben Salem, Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Robert. Hey, Dom Henry, it's good to talk to you guys today. Tom, that interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who you have common ground with, was just as good and consistent as the interview with Cecil, who you don't have a lot of common ground with. So, kudos on both interviews. Well, thank you. If I could, I wanted to touch on what E.J. Antony touched on in the prior caller, Dan, when it came to affordability of homes. As we all say, we're all free market capitalists. I am also a big Second Amendment enthusiast, but I'm not going to give an AK to a toddler. I also believe in being able to eat what you want, but it's a good idea to have someone like, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., give you some insight information on what you should be dulled with it. And it's the same way with capitalism, okay? The way it's structured now with investment firms being able to buy single family housing units, You believe in capitalism, but if it's a hurting society, might want to do it double-take and look at it again because they crowd out ordinary homebuyers because they can pave cash and they can waive inspection and contingency fees. They drive up home prices by increasing demand but not supply. And the sellers will raise their prices as a result. They push rents higher. They use algorithms and pricing tools to maximize their rents. and they benefit from tax and financial issues that we don't, with depreciation and 1031 exchanges. I'm trying to be quick. It extracts wealth from the communities, and it kills home equity, which is the goal for the American dream. And housing isn't a typical commodity because it's needed for survival, and supply is slow to adjust to market demand. And a systemic risk is borne by taxpayers and renters with the investors getting all the upside. thinking is that we need to do something strictly pertaining to single. I'm not talking about apartment complexes or investment properties. I'm talking about single. If we could do something cut out for that just to promote the equally important ideal home ownership in America, I think it's something we should look at, at least. You know what I mean? That was so beautifully put. Exactly. And E.J. and Tony says the same thing. He'd be one of the guys to do this. And we're not disturbing the markets. But you're right. Is there anything that's pure capitalism there? All the benefits. They're exerting all those benefits. And the single family, they have no shot in any of that. And before I get to the side answer, I just wanted to give kudos and credit to my friend Gary from Newtown because he put together a lot of that information and me and him went over it together. And I just thought it was a really good argument. Hope to hear from him again soon. But anyway, from my side question, I'm going to stay with the office. And it might not be a winner or an all-timer, but I was fascinated by this guy. And his name was Creed Bratton on the office. Now that was his real. He was born William Charles Schneider.
But he changed it to Creed Bratton later on when he was playing in the group. Oh, my goodness, what was the name of that group he played for? He played for a rock group in the 60s, Tom. Come on. Help me out here. I don't know it. I know that they put it in. Grassroots. Oh. The grassroots. That's right. But he played himself, and he was such a quirky character. Like, when he thought the company was going young, he took the ink out of the printer to make his hair black. When they had that blood drive, at the end of the show, he's coming out in a trench coat with little IV tubes hanging out the bottom. You always wondered what this guy was up to, and he was such a quirky character. He really stood out for me. And I'll leave it there, and I really appreciate the time. Great show, as always, Doug. Thank you, Robert. You know, quirky, Henry, is a word, not mentally ill, but quirky. Like, who's quirky? We've got to work that up on the side because I believe being a talk radio host, you've got to be quirky. Oh, at least a little bit, yeah. You know most of us and there you go. Producers, yeah, producers can be quirky too. Cork is be like the top thing on a radio host like resume. Exactly. Very quirky. Bloviator. Well, of course, the bloviation. Yeah. If you can't just sit there and bloviate for four hours, come on now. All right, give me your reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210. That, Dom's Money Melody, for a great prize coming up. Dom Giordano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Dom Gierdano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. All right, Dom to your Danos show. You just heard Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. It'll be available, of course, on podcast and all over the place. And I thought, you know, to be honest, to the vocal problems and all that, there'd be a little difficult. That was a very clear line and he was traveling in a car. So we're very grateful for that. I'd like to get him here in person in town. As his tour continues, we'll let you know about that. That's what I'm working on. 855, 839, 12, 10, you get in. And particularly, you could see the legacy here already on food. Then the question on vaccine and then the question sort of related on autism. I still maintain commonsensically that some of this is due to the change with the spectrum. He says that's very minor. Got to concede there are other areas here with autism that are problematic. And I'm sure we'll be seeing more. The Tylenol thing, though, with women in pregnancy, was a very delicate. I'm not sure how that was rolled out that that was the right way to go. But you can tell there was a pause. I could hear it in him that this is really sensitive area when we got to autism. On the others, he was flying through all the stuff that he knows and all the stuff he's been doing. There was a little bit of a slowdown on that because this is very, very sensitive subject. Of course, Governor Josh Shapiro.
You're going to hear him again and again and again. This is a guy who got nothing done for how long, no budget, and he's not going to get it on time. What does he, he brilliantly for him choreographed what they did on 95 after the blowup. I'll give credit for that. How long do you get to live off that, though? He immediately comes out swinging and saying that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is one of the biggest purveyors of chaos because of what he's doing here. Is that what you hurt? And there are areas where, you know, I don't fully agree the food pyramid, the saturated fat stuff and meats. You heard the cheesecake response. Get rid of the roll or the bun. Okay. And the workout and the pull-up and the whole thing. So phone lines are 855, 83912. And the big story today. Trump's saying, no, we're not going to move into any position by force in Greenland. That has, I think, centered people very well, at least the markets, that that's going on. And what we're seeing come up for Democrats, it's going to be interesting. And their base, I think, is going to get on them big time if they don't. We're going to see, there's the funding bill going through for the Department of Homeland Security. Ice in there, though. What are they going to do? Are they going to try to come up with defunding that? All their strategists are saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, we tried this defunding the police. It was a political disaster. Just that phraseology. So what I think they've settled on today on this vote, which will be, and it'll be very interesting to see what the Dean of Decency does. Speaking of the Dean, we have a cut from her because she went to Denmark to reassure the Danes. Here is the Dean of Decency. Does anybody say, hey, Dean, what's going on over in Norristown rather than Denmark? Cut 13. Listen to Madeline Dean about America, Trump, and the children in Greenland. Cut 13. Do you think anything's going to change? Well, I actually would rather go back to where you began this reporting this evening. The statements that the president has made over and over, zigging and zagging, you wouldn't accept that kind of nonsense from your child. Or as my husband said to me this weekend, as much as I love our grandchildren, I really wouldn't accept it of grandchildren even. The president is not making a lot of sense. He wants to possess things. The island of Greenland is not a possession. It's not an asset for him. They are our ally. One of the most troubling things that we heard while we were there from the Greenlandic members of Parliament is that children in Greenland go to bed at night, anxious, fearful, sleepless, worried that the Americans might attack them.
What in God's name are we doing? We have poured away, well, we have it. The president has poured away respect and trust for our allies. And, of course, respect in us. It is up to us, Congress, to reclaim that and tell the president that he is unwelled in these ambitions. He's unwelled, too. This is the constant thing. The husband, you know, the bicycle. How about the kids working in sweat factories making those bicycles in Red China so that you and the family can live in, not one, but I think a shore mansion too. How about those kids and their families? That's not me. That's the Philadelphia Enquirer. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10. We're looking for that all-time sidekick, maybe even bigger than the alleged main character in a sitcom to get in with that. And your reaction to hearing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., that was pretty extended. They were very generous. And again, we had good phone quality. We were scared to death, given the vocal issue and a mobile, what would happen. Again, I noticed he was really free-flowing with everything that we asked until we got to autism. And I'm not saying he didn't answer directly, but there is a heightened sensitivity around it. And the vaccine stuff plays into that, of course, at some level, in some way, shape, or form. You heard his argument with Denmark, their protocols referencing Europe pushing back on this notion, well, they're not a diverse country. is the criticism. Why are we following what they did? Now, commonsensically, on the abortion, on the vaccine thing, how many years have we said that a place like Jersey seems to be overkill and a lot all at once? Just commonsensically it does. Now, that doesn't mean there are not arguments. I mean, look. I would kill to moderate a debate between Paul Offit over at Children's Hospital and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. on this stuff, I think you would gain a lot of the back and forth. Even though he's not a doctor, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been on this for years. To hear where we are on this and to hear the back and forth of someone being able to undercut that position. I'd love to see that happen. I don't know that either one would do it. But he is going to have the biggest legacy of anybody we've seen at a cabinet level and already has engaged in that in such a short period of time. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, just push Pound 1210. This will be cut four. I got to play this because this guy is so odious. Every chance we have to see him, he's exactly the face. of what's going on in Davos today. Where are betters, the billionaires and influencers. They don't care about America first. They want to tell us how to live, what the smart guys say. Here is the Black Rock CEO, and he is the WEF, the World Economic Forum co-chair, Larry Fink.
Here's what he said. Many of the people most affected by what we talk about here will never come to this conference. That's the central tension of this forum. Davos is an elite gathering trying to shape a world that belongs to everyone. That is why this year's theme is the spirit of dialogue. Because dialogue is the only way a room like this can earn the legitimacy. to shape ideas for people who are in the room. No, you'll never have that. No. Those people don't need your cockamamie ideas. Larry, think, yeah, is that why you stood on top of your chair, at least, when the communist dictator was in San Francisco and we played that applauding wildly? Is that the future we have? Who can applaud the communist dictator in front of us? and what they're doing to the world and what they would do already have done to us. Now, we don't need you shaping our minds, ideas, or anything else. And all the usual suspects are there, John Kerry, Randy Weingarten, a new star this year. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is push pound 1210. Right now, though, it is time for... It's Dobbs Money Melody. It has all the money con. That's right. We're playing today for a copy of Scott Jennings' book, A Revolution of Common Sense, how Donald Trump stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. All right, Henry. Yeah, Dom, so on the side question, we're asking for that all-time sitcom, sidekick, side character, or as you like to put it, second banana. Yes. The... Detective Comedy Drama TV show Syke ran for eight seasons and three movies. It starred James Rode as Sean Spencer, a man pretending to be a psychic as well as his sidekick slash partner Gus Guster. I'm going to, simply enough, there's an episode in which they have to investigate a movie set. And in that episode, they changed the theme song up. to reflect the language in which this movie set is taking place. Yeah, the movie set is taking place with a certain country, a certain flair, and the episode's title theme is changed for that episode to reflect that country. So I either want to know the language or the country in which the psych theme song in this one episode is changed to, all right? We're going to take a listen. Boy, there's a lot going on here. Oh, yeah. Well, the original theme song is I know you know, so that's what you're hearing coming in. But all those other lyrics, yeah, one of that other language that is coming through in this opening title sequence. All right, 855, 839, 1210. We'll get the book off from Scott Jennings. Jump in right now. Let's get a winner. This is Talk Radio 1210. WP.HT. On Demand. On demand.
It's the money melody. Where has all the money gone? Show me. That's right. Every day, Henry cooks up something great here with it. All right, Henry, the premise today. Yeah, we're listening to the psych theme song from a specific episode where they investigate a movie set. Movie being a key clue here. Want the name of the language or the country in which the theme song in this episode is being sang in. Okay. All right, language or country. We're looking for the Earl of Tacconi. All right, Earl, what's your answer today? I'm just going to take a wild guess. Is it India? It is India, Earl. Yes, you win the Scott Jenningsville. Oh, thank you very much. I'd also like to discuss something if I could and the side question. Sure. Yeah, give us a side question. All right. Well, maybe sometime later, I wrote another song regarding the fraud in Minnesota. We always take care of that later if you don't have time. But if it comes to sidekicks, I didn't clear this with a screen call screener, but I don't think anyone's got it. Did anybody say Tim Conway? No, that's a great one. McHale's Navy or? The Carol Burnett Show. Carol Burnett Show, yeah. And the network's always thought, this is a funny guy, let's give him his own show. And he had several shows of his own, but they never lasted. And even he admitted himself, I'm always a second banana. Everybody loved him. Everybody thought he was funny. He cracked everybody up on the set. But he was never able to carry his own show because he was always best, and his strength was being the second banana. In fact, he has the curse of being... part of that show turn on, which has been part of the side question, where the show was so bad, it was canceled 15 minutes into its half hour run. That's how unlucky he was running his own shows. I'll put you on Holder. All that is a very good one. Okay. All right. Now, I got something really good here. Sadly, Henry's seen it already because I was going to quiz him. Have you seen it in detail, Henry? Yeah, the NFL one, please. So this is a guy named Peter Lutz put together at Vote Hub. 1,500 athletes survey. Simple. What party registered? Republican, Democrat, Independent. He says most unsurprisingly, the league with the highest percentage of registered Democrats is the WNBA. More than two-thirds of the league players are Democrats with available information. You know, those who didn't do it, they didn't do it. 30.2% are independents and only 2% are registered Republicans. All right. It doesn't surprise me. I'm kind of surprised we got the 2%. It's kind of random there. Maybe Sophie Cunningham. Maybe she's independent. I don't know. The NBA, the highest share of registered athletes being independent, 45.9, Democrats, 42.9. Republicans, 10%. Independents make up the biggest share, and that surprised me, of NFL athletes at 44.3.
The gap is pretty close, though. Democrats 34.3, Republicans, 20.2. The NHL is similar to the NBA. Independence lead 48. Republicans, though, close, 43. Just 5.6% of NHL players are registered Democrats. I don't know how many of them are American. Now, by position group, they actually did the position group. And Henry, you've seen this, right? Correct. Yeah. It doesn't surprise me. Defensive backs and running backs were the most Democratic, the most Republican positions are on special teams. Kickers, 50%. Punters, 57%. Long snappers are 61% registered Republicans. Quarterbacks are meds of meds. They are looking for the number here, just the chart. It's 48% independent, 33% Republican, 20% Democrat. Wow, quarterbacks only 20% are Democrats. That's kind of interesting. All right. Now, some of this you think of positions. based on racial lines, you know, and party affiliation Democrat. But the number in these pro rankings that are independent is very high. I don't know if they do that because, you know, they don't want to be identified as one or the other. It's not a good thing, et cetera. So on the Philadelphia Eagles, let's take them. Who would stand out to you, Henry, if any, that you'd be willing to, you know, make a small wager might be a Republican? Cal Atomitus, I guess. Cal out of Midas. Who the heck is that? The long snapper. The long snapper, okay. You're playing the odds here. I could see, I don't think Seyquan Barkley's a Democrat. I really don't. I wouldn't be an independent. Yeah, it might be an independent.
surprisingly the offensive linemen are not Republicans, at least according to this. So most teams, they're independent. It's not an overwhelming number. I don't know why. You just reminded me the story of... When Ryan Nassib decided it was okay to come out as an NFL player, as a gay NFL player. Right. When he used like gay as a slur in a game and like the whole Brown's offensive line turned to him and went, you can't say that? And he was like, oh, I guess the league is ready for me to come out. All right. Good. Yeah. So how about what other bit? Tight ends might be more Republican than wide receivers. I'm just thinking here. Might happen. Yeah, it's only 10% are Democrat for tight ends. Okay. How about defensive linemen? They strike me as nothing. I don't get any read. If anything, Democrats, maybe. 53% independent, 38% Democrat, 9%. Oh, man, defensive linemen only 9%. It tells you how that's changed in the past. You would have more defensive linemen, and linebackers certainly would have been more Republican back in the day. How about now? Only 8% Republicans. Wow. On the Eagles, do they have any linebacker? I thought Zach Vaughn, but I saw him extensively after the one game. I kind of see an independent there maybe. Jaywin Hertz, I don't see him as a Republican. The backup quarterback, that guy could be potentially a Republican, I think. Potentially. I'm just happy to see that most players are level-headed in the middle here, independents. Okay. Well, they can be moderate Democrats. Well, obviously, yeah, you obviously lean some ways on every issue. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, they don't have to be MAGA or progressive. I can't see too many progressives among football players. I just don't see that. I mean, yeah, it's. They could be liberal, but I mean, I don't see them as extreme on either side. And the long snapper. They should be 61%. Yes. The WNBA only 2%. It might not even be that, right, are Republicans. Someone checked the wrong box by asking. Exactly, exactly. I don't think Caitlin Clark's a Republican. Sophie Cunningham, I think, might be. She's a bit annoying to me, a little bit too much of annex, kind of. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10. You've got the side question going on. The reaction I'm getting is good on some social media and emails I'm getting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I think we hit with him some of the really biggest stuff he's involved in. And of course, performatively, Josh Shapiro, what does he say? Why? Chaos. He's going to ride on that. That's what you're going to be here. Here's the Mr. Fix It. This guy gets things done. I don't think even people listening now realize what has big of a threat this guy is. I think he could, not easily, but I can see him being the nominee. And he is a chameleon who used his mother in his memoir to say why he is so domineering and driven, even among these politicians.
saying it was a defense mechanism because he didn't have a happy childhood. She had mental issues and there was a lot of yelling. So he withdrew with his sister and brother to try to keep the peace and had to really control things as best he could. And that's where it comes from. This guy's a piece of work. You know, and again, I hear Henry, it's a kid, but I only bring up the son because that's the excuse he gave why he turned away from capital punishment. Now it's his mother. That's why he's, I mean, nobody trusts this guy in the Democrat Party. They know exactly how ruthless he is. All right, 855-839-1210. Coming to more calls here on Talk Radio 1210.

Yes, I think 20 years ago you would have seen more Republicans there, but independence have become a thing. I'm suspect of the independence. I think they are usually Democrats, but don't want to say so. You call me a Democrat, Don? Yeah, I think there's a lean that way. No, I think you might be more libertarian. That's very true. Yeah, and it's sad that the Libertarian Party. is just goes too far, you know, nothing. There's no, there's chaos. A lot of people listening right now. Whether they know it or not, or small L. Libertarians. Yeah, I always think of that clip from like, I think it was like 2016 debate or it's like, should you have a license operated car? And they're all going, no. And then Gary Johnson's the one to be like, guys, what are we doing here? Yeah, he gets booed. No speed limits. No, yeah, whatever. Exactly. I mean, the theory is there. People want the government out of our lives on both sides of this.
Without a doubt. It's just a matter where you draw the line. Yeah. And I think when we meet after the show, Henry, maybe we get Luke Cappellion. He could kind of put this out there. I asked Dawn about it today, Dawn Fantasia. Camden, I got to say, all right, I'm the biggest critic of the nonsense of this, is doing much better when it comes to public safety. They are. But. The surveillance levels being criticized by a lot of people. And Henry, I'll take your temperature and Sean's too. Dan, I remember this guy calling it. It really was knocked down, drag out because Philadelphia was putting more cameras in the recreation centers. Right. As a deterrent, it's not a deterrent. They're going to show up and kill each other. What is a deterrent is stopping these people earlier on in their criminal career? Most people do not go out and say, I'm going to murder someone. They do other stuff. They get away with it or it's mild. And then they step up and do something horrific. So all the cameras in the world are not going to stop them. And there is a cost to that. If you're in public, every movement shouldn't be surveilled. Agreed. Yeah. In this piece about Camden with drones now particularly. Now. Would I allow because something's got to be done to crack this? What goes on in Kensington? If I were the mayor, I would maybe be hypocritical of what I just said in that I am not going to, I'm not going to let you win on this. You're not going to be in Kensington and telling that community is the dumping ground and you're going to continue to deal drugs by the gazillions and blatantly turn it into hell. I'm not going to let you do it, whatever I have to do. I got to admit it. My libertarian grounds go away. If you're the Nazis marching in Skokie where they knew had an incredible percentage of people who survived the Holocaust, if they beat the hell out of you, I got to admit I might turn a blind eye to it. So I have my soft spots on libertarianism. But basically, I think what's happening in Camden and Jersey in general. being a surveillance state is over the line. Henry, how about you? Oh, I completely agree. I hate the additions of when they put new red light cameras in or any of that garbage. Like, you don't need to know where we're going at all times of the day. You know, because the next thing, you know, it's going to be, you know, facial recognition software that they're going to be using through these cameras. And they're really going to know where you are every time, every second of the day. You step out of your house. You step out of your apartment. Like, they'll know. Yeah, why do we need facial recognition to get into a Phillies game? We used to go round and round with that. I contend that those things don't actually work. Okay, they may not. But if they do, you know, the convenience of it is not worth the potential wear that information. Sean, how about you? Yeah, it's not even a Band-Aid on a stab wound. It's like worse than that because it's not even getting to the root cause of why people do crime. It's just. breathing down the necks of everyday citizens and then even then potentially like being able to look for people to just pick them up on whatever kind of slight infraction yeah uh now people that live in camden every day you know they're they're mixed though there are people there still saying you know i'm glad it's down but it is a surveillance state
And if you're not consistent, actually gone after criminals, and I don't want to hear about all the drones. Look at how he's the head guy over in Camden. I do remember how embarrassing when at an event where there was a brawl. And he said, we don't want these people like that. The bad people from Philadelphia here in Camden. Oh, what an embarrassment for Philadelphia. Camden saying, you know, we don't allow that here. A little brother. Oh, yeah, exactly. And I think they have gotten results. There is no doubt. By the way, finally, and we've been on this for a while, the guy who's the special prosecutor for SEPTA because Larry the K will not do it is actually prosecuting people. Oh, wow. Yes, finally. He's got 12 cases. And of course. Larry Krasner is not going to prosecute the woman who clearly attacked, or the girl, our buddy Frankie Scales, will Entmire do that. And Larry Krasner, I might add, the impeach Larry Krasner. Once you're impeached, Larry, you're impeached. I know you got unimpeached, you think. But on my big scoreboard here in the studio, you are the impeached, Larry Krasner. It's the scarlet letter. It is. You got the eye on there, Larry, and on your resume, you know, the obituary will say, Larry Krasner impeached footnote. See, Dom Gerdano. All right, let's go to Lance in South Philly on Talk Radio 1210. You want more cameras, Lance? How about you in South Philly? More cameras? Yes. No. We already got enough. Broad Street, Roosevelt Boulevard. You know, half my job is driving around. And I can't tell you how many times I have to slam on the brakes. because somebody in front of me has stopped short because they don't want to go through a camera. Yeah, well, the red light cameras now, I mean, it's, I'd say every two or three months, the most recent, and I was thinking, Lance, I may not come in by the drive in the morning anymore because I was very close today. They got them around the art museum. And again, it's a money grab. That's all that it is. Or you get the ticket in the mail. Yeah, well, absolutely. Yeah. What's your side today, Lance? Well, my side is going to be from the odd couple. None other than the silly native Jack Cleverman. He played Oscar. He was messy. They were both divorced. And he was cheap. Remember the poker games they would have? Oh, he was cheap. So you see him as a second. Yeah, he is the secondary character there. Yeah. Yeah. Because Phillips was very neat. Yes, of course. Felix Unger. Thank you, Lance, very much. All right. There's one no vote. But I think, you know, Lou will come on. They're very proud of what they've done in Camden. And I could understand that. Yeah. Great opener.
Yeah, great opener to a sitcom. We've done that. What's the best opener to a sitcom? You know, this is the show I've never watched, but for whatever reason, the theme song is just burning in my head. I don't think it's dated. I think it's a pretty good premise. Then Walter Mathel and Tony Randall, was it Randall, the grumpy old men thing and grumpier old men and grumpiest old men. They milked that pretty well. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's all Walter Mathel did in his career. Then he did it with the bad news bears. He just showed up and he was grumpy. Can you imagine that guy being around? Oh, yeah. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. If you missed it today, we'll be up on podcast. Where are the places we'll find this, Henry? Don't say TikTok again. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Of course. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and, of course, TikTok. Okay. Couldn't get them on Zoom today, but people are each day, don't forget, it's an added bonus. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT each day. It becomes a habit. But he was really definitive particularly thanks to... Who is it in, is it Dan in Richborough? Yeah, bringing up the question of Denmark. Why did we go with Denmark as the template here? A lot of criticism on that. He explained it better than you've seen in the media. The area, I wouldn't say it was contention, but where it was slow down a little bit because it's really sensitive stuff was autism. And I had to because I. I logically believe this. He said the number is very small as far as we're better at diagnosing, and we diagnose more people on the spectrum now. We know better that you have highly functioning people that should be on the autism spectrum, or are they doing too much of it? One out of 31, I think it's dropped too. And it's a prize to get to the bottom of this, to relieve people to know what to do. I didn't get to the roundup question from a listener about that in cancer. I kind of think that one is obvious. We see what's going on here. And there's ample evidence. I don't know how many court cases have ruled that or not, but there's a tremendous amount around that. All right, phone lines. It is the lightning round, and we'll tell you what we have tomorrow. But today was... Pretty big. And if you missed Dawn Fantasia about what's going on in New Jersey, she broke it down beautifully about what Mikie Sherrill's up to in the media allowing her to get away with it. But how about the voters in Jersey? You know, how about what's happening to their community with this scam that's overdevelopment for affordable housing? Why did they vote for her knowing this? And the answer is pretty simple. She ran on attacking Trump, and that's what she did yesterday. And we have to face realities we head toward the midterms. There's no wishing it away. This anti-Trump, Trump derangement syndrome, call it what you will. It is not going to abate before the midterms are over. It is not. Oh, Dom, how much. Their theme now is retribution. They keep on talking. And the face of these women that are doing it is that Jennifer Welsh.
that you often see all over the place. Big podcasts on CNN. They want retribution. They want a Nuremberg trial or those trials that happen in South Africa after they get into power. They're running not on, all right, we don't want to divide a country. Trump divides a country. We have to get back to normal. They're running on the idea, you elect us. And every one of these people that were in ICE or a Trump supporter or a MAGA in some way, shape, reform, there's going to be retribution. They'll lie and say it's affordability. They need something as the front, but what drives voters out there? And I think it's smart on that part. That's all they have. What do we counter with it? Well, you know what it was countered with in 2024? The Trump voters that came out en masse. Will they do it in the midterms? That's the question. 855, 839, 1210. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT on demand, on demand. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. Yes, that is right. Hit us with that all-time sidekick. That's in a sitcom. This coming off, Dwight's Fruit, birthday this week. Tomorrow, this... Cooter guy who might be the Eagles. I'm praying. Jimba. He goes offensive coordinator. We got to do something southern there, at least. Good old boys. I know, Henry, you don't like the second banana, but the good old boy, you don't like that one either. I just never had heard of it before you said he said. Never heard that? Sean, have you heard of good old boy? Only when they drink whiskey and rye. There you go. All right. That's one reference. Yeah. But, I mean, that's the thing in the South particularly, even if they differ with you, like you're enforcing the law, but they say you always wear a good old boy. Okay. Yeah. It's like, yeah, you're fine with us. We realize your conflict here. And this guy strikes me. I just picture him red face, you know, type of southern accent, et cetera. Yeah. Perfect for Philadelphia. All right. Let's go to Phil and Delaware Talk Radio 1210. All right, Phil, who's yours? Hey, good afternoon real quick. The Dukes of Hazards. Remember, they were the good old boys. Yeah, absolutely. Sure, it's a good thing to be called a good old boy.
Yep. And one quick question. I'm surprised with the statistics for the WMBA that the Republicans are trying to straighten things up for women in women's sports and not guys peeing in the urinals in the girls' locker rooms or pushing them out of championships. Well, the reason is a lot of these women would support men that were out there because... They don't know their limitations. And Phil, I believe, you can have an All-Star team might be. You can have the championship team. And the boys basketball that won the big schools in California, Texas, even Pennsylvania that year, high school, say, you know, 4A or 5 or whatever it is, they would beat them. They don't know that, though. Yeah. So their preference would be to win a championship, then get shoved out of their own sport. It doesn't make any sense, but it's part of the unreality world. They're egg daughter. You know what, too? Some of them agree with us, but they're afraid. It happened to people in soccer because Megan Rapino and these others are vicious. Yeah. So my answer to side question is Gomer Pyle, Jim Neighbors. He was so unsuspecting, but if you think back, he was in control. Absolutely. Zenos, we have about 30 seconds. Who's yours? Well, Domine is of mice and men. You know, Lon Cheney Jr. and Burgess Meredith. And in the end, Burgess Meredith had it killed Lon Cheney because the crowd was going to kill him. All right, thank you. I don't think that's a sitcom of Mice at Men. Sean, who did you like today? Ooh. Oh, God. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. All right, I'll go to Henry. I'll come back to you. Henry, how about you? Yeah, I liked Earl's answer of Tim Conway because he was in all these sitcoms as the sidekick. They couldn't hack it on his own, so it's the definition of the site. He had quite a line in there, two, half-hour show that canceled after 15 minutes. Yeah, that's crazy. Sean, how about you? I like Coach Beard from Ted Lassow. That was a Dan, I think. That was a good answer to. Dan was excellent. I got to go with Earl on this, though. It was almost the definition of what we said here of why the guy who appears to be great like Tim Conway was. is only great if they're the second banana. You make them the, you move them over a step and it's trouble. So that was Steve Urkel too. Yes. Oh, right. Exactly. I wonder what to have it happened to him. All right, tomorrow. Billy Bob or whatever, Cooter. Jim Bob. Jim Bob, even better than Jim Bob, might be the side question. We'll have great guests. We'll have you. Thanks for listening today. If you missed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., we'll have it up on all those modalities that Henry was talking about.
I thought he really had a lot of energy, little petering by the time we got to the end, but it was great stuff, even some workout tips. Kathy Barnett next on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Dom Jiu-Dano, weekdays noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, all-time irony. I think we could do ironies as a side question. Tom Giordano's show. Arguably, the least concerned about health, at least when it comes to eating and working out, President, arguably President Trump, has a guy who is the one doing the most. that is shaking up our entire health care system, our entire food system, our entire vaccine, et cetera. And he'll be here at 1.30 today. It's been a long time trying to make this happen. And I think it's Dr. Oz and Dr. Oz's person that made it happen. So RF, Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., yeah, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. We'll be here at 1.30 today, and they've offered like an ungodly amount of time. So if you have a question that you say must be asked, please speak now or forever to hold your peace at 855, 833, 9, 12, 10. I, of course, just sketched out my first 15 for the NFL. I don't like the 15. I would do 40, but that's the NFL, you know. Things change the script. And the one area, maybe a small thing, I might say, come on now with the food pyramid upside down, okay, but saturated fats, good, certain ones. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in Harrisburg. He'll be with us on his way back. We hope to have him here at some point. We're working on that. But you'll be able to hear it at 1.30 today. And in Harrisburg at this rally. It's the Eat Real Food Tour kicking off today. That's the main thing we'll talk about. But I've got to get a little more information on the pull-up. Henry is very intrigued too. You know, and I think my request will be to lead a movement to take away all those pull-ups. You have to jump on at gyms. You've got to jump up on. No, no, no. Moving down to the level we can work on. Like six feet, five inches, six inches, seven inches. You might be able to do a pull-up then. But he's in Harrisburg on this. They're protesters. They're always protesters. All that going on. A big story today when he took to the podium. We'll play you, President Trump in Davos. And look, the Trump remedy is certainly called for it with these people. We'll play you the Blackstone guy, who's the most odious creature out there, saying we're only here, us billionaires, to help the average people, to make things more affordable. Yeah, right. And the other star is Gavin Newsom, standing among the crowd, and Trump calls him out from the podium.
Trump also saying, let's face it, if not for America, a lot of you would be speaking German or maybe a little Japanese. He went after windmills, but the big story, he said, and the markets have reacted well, we are not going to, by force, do anything with Greenland. All right, so Greenland was much there, reassuring people on that. I get the Trump negotiating style, but on the Greenland thing. I think this comes down to behind the scenes how much money would take. I think it's worth it. Harry Truman thought it was worth it. 100 million in gold in 1946, he offers. That's $1946 in gold. That would have been a lot. I don't even know if they had 20,000 people there that in order to get it. I don't know if we pay them off. We pay the Danes off. Well, I was thinking of a deal. The Danish company Orstedt. All right. We want to put a windmill off the Jersey shore. You'll do that and we'll give you Greenland. Sorry. We're not doing that. Even for Greenland. It's national defense. Nope. You're not messing up the Jersey Shore. Nope. No deal with the Danes on that. Okay. Randy Weingarten there today, though. This is all the people that want to control us coming together. That's what this Davos thing is about. Every year, John Kerry would be the face of it. We got several Randy Wine Garden cuts, though, because she's the one that does the most that's irritating around this and the most mind. Let's start with Randy Wine Garden there. Here's Wine Garden talking about to the billionaires, to the people that behind the scenes run the world. that we must use this world economic forum to create an integrated network and curriculum for kids. Think of these globalists now. She wants to put into the public schools cut 19. So part of what we're trying to do here is say, how do we create this partnership between education, labor? government and industry with the goal of creating these pathways so that kids, when they come out of high school or they come out of college, don't have to start saying, what am I going to do next? The pathways become important, and to create those pathways, you also have to create a curriculum, and you have to create this engagement with each other. And the last thing I'll say is this. When you do it, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts. We have over 100,000 schools. There are industry partners all over. And you, Kiva, we're the one who said, you can't keep on doing this industry by industry. You are the one who said you can't keep on doing this governor by governor. How do we use the WEF to create this kind of integrated network so that we're all working together so that kids can have, from high school on, opportunities to have jobs. that pay a living wage so that they can feed their family and nurture their family. And that is what happens in advanced manufacturing. So I'm honored that we are part of the creation of that curriculum, and we are all in. Oh, I want to see the curriculum, Randy. I want to see the chapter on fascism. Now, Henry, I've never told you, but I think it's perfectly that we'd be able to get her in studio. I mean, I've had her on 10 or 12 times.
So let's put her on our wish list. We ought to have that giant. I mean, Johnny's got a big sign out there at Mulligan. Today is the birthday, by the way, and we'll honor him all day of the great Nick Foles on my Twitter. Did you happen to see my Twitter today? Take a look at the picture I put up. That is from Saturday. And that is from when we had Nick Folves. That's the crowd. Look at that room, how enormous it is. And backstage, you're had to be 500 people waiting to get with Nick Bowles. Yeah. Yeah. What a scene. And notice the height, if he's 6'6, I'm at least 6'1 based on that. Yeah, you can tell. Yeah, what a scene. It is a fabulous thing. And we have the cut of Philly, Philly. We'll get to. But here's one more, Randy Weingarten. Yep, she goes to the well in Davos. Here's Randy Weingarten. It takes a village cut 20. And first, I'd like to turn to Randy Weingert. Of course. So we're honored to be here for any number of reasons. If you had told me five or ten years ago that I would be at the World Economic Forum announcing Smart Start curriculum with business. Governors, I would say, okay, I would see myself doing this with governors, but with business in Switzerland doing this, I would have said, what are you drinking? But the point is, it does take a village to actually create and recreate and re-envision a society that works for all. And manufacturing is a key component in that society and education is a key component in that society. All right. So these are the people. These are the people that want to control our lives. She belongs perfectly there. That's what they're about. They don't want an ownership society. Nobody owns anything except them. Billionaires, behind the scenes people. the head of the World Economic Forum, and just globalists, up and down. This is what it's all. John Kerry, the face of John Kerry is a perfect example. Be it climate, be it telling us what to do in schools, be it talking affordability under their guidance. It's all under their guidance. This is like the UN on Sterey. The UN just, they're playing at it. These people really want, and do, to the best of their ability, dominate life. All right, let me give you the side. You can hit me with a Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. question. He'll be here at 1.30 today. I'm going to lead off with the food pyramid. We'll get to vaccine policy, particularly childhood. I got to ask about the testosterone test of Trump, the pull-up. He might get into his own diet. Be prepared for that. It might be kind of a wild ride about what he recommends. But are you following this new food pyramid? Saturated fats. He announced in Harrisburg some of the things they've done in the first year, and they are impressive. Over 35% of American food industry have removed artificial dyes from their products. You know how difficult this has been?
And more on the way in 2026. New dietary guidelines have prioritized whole foods over processed junk. Bringing whole milk back to school lunches. Well, that's good. And lowering prescription drug costs. And I think they're doing that. And that's a biggie. The other thing that I'll get to is the autism. I'm not believing Tylenol. And in pregnancy, I'm not compelled by the evidence. I realize this is a mystery and a horrific mystery, but doesn't mean we should be jumping at stuff. So I'm going to ask him how far along what's next on looking at autism. I think those are the biggest things that we've seen with him. Now, Josh Shapiro, the great man, after he threw his mother under the bus in his book, hard to believe. He's known as, look, I've told you this. Even among politicians, they see this guy as a political animal extraordinary. I've been in the ring with him a couple times. And the next time I'm in the ring, I am using the height thing. I don't care what Rose says. You can't make jokes about the hype with it. Anything with this guy is in play. He brings up his son. His son tells him no capital punishment. All right. Do I bring up the son? No, I don't care about the son. He does. Out of bounds, Henry, the height? No, I guess not. The son. Are you striking first with this height comment? No, no, I have to be struck. Yeah, you're waiting to get hit. Yeah, yeah, all is fair. The son. The son? All right, but he's the one that brought it up. The son, do you don't remember that? I know, I know what you're talking about. Okay, you still think you can't bring his son in. A check is the son 18 yet? That's my rule. Yeah, that might be a good rule. If you're under 18, yeah, can't do that. But you know what the word the governor loves to say? And he's polled this and repolled it. I'm going to ask Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. about it. Governor Josh Shapiro is saying he's bringing chaos here. Chaos. That's what Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is about. Now, Josh Shapiro's clever. I was telling Henry before the show in the new bio. He says he didn't grow up in a happy household as a child. The mother had mental issues. Wow. And then he says, go ahead, Henry. No, just who doesn't? Yeah. Yeah. And then as a result of that, this is where he's going. That's why he's so controlling, so domineering. So, you know, he knows it's a flaw, but come on, he had to do that to protect himself. Then he says, I love my mother. We get along. You know, all this, wow, he puts her in this bio. You know, you really want to sell this bio, don't you? I think that's left, unless it was brutal, unless it was abusive. And he doesn't say that. He's saying that's what made him do what he does. Apparently, he says it was a joke when he asked about putting his artwork in the vice presidential residence to Kamala Harris. I don't think so. I think he had a list, and he kept on going through them. And even Harris went, get me walls. He's a goof, but I can't put up with it. Maybe that was it. Yeah, he was just too controlling. He's like, here are my ideas for the campaign. And Connoll was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. Right. It's my name's on the ticket. Right. And he said to vice president ought to be more like a slight co-president than vice president to him. Get me walls. But you mean, that's your entire bench.
Henry's out there shooting too much. I'm not liking it. I look down. I see Sean on the bench there. Hasn't played this year yet. I don't know. He wandered into the basketball team. Put him in. Oh, man. I got a basketball game tonight. You're getting in my head already. How many shots of game do you take? It's the first game, so we're going to find out. Well, usually. At least five threes. Oh, okay. Well, it's not excessive. No, I try to play within the game. I'm not trying not to be a chucker. Well, if you are a good shooter over the course of time, you know, if you're off, keep shooting. Oh, yeah, no, next shot mentality. If you have made five in a row, keep shooting, you're a good shooter, you're hot. That's what I always went by. I wouldn't say I was a shooter. I was a scorer, meaning I was going to shoot. I'm a shooter. So there's the difference. I'm not a score. Not a score. Okay. 855-839, 12, 10, you get on board. The St. Paul, Minnesota mayor, said we responded the same way we would for any place of worship. Oh, man. Were the heathens in St. Paul? Can you imagine? I don't think so, mayor. Okay, side question today. Ryan Wilson, Dwight Shrewt. Is it a rain? Rain Wilson, all-time great character, Dwight Shrewt. Birthday was this week, day or so ago. Side question today is simple. We haven't done something like this in a while. Give us somebody who is an all-time sidekick. They maybe even steal it in a sitcom. George Costanza is an obvious one. Arguably, he's the star somewhat. But I'll take Ethel Friedrich Merz off. I even saw a play once about Ethel Friedrich Merz, Vivian JD Vance, how unhappy she was to play Ethel to Lucy, who was brutal. All those years. That's old. That's an all time. sidekick and female sidekick that was recognized. Henry, how about yours? Yeah, Dom, I think for my answers, I'm going to go even more niche here with the sidekicks. Really, really far down on the roster, as you could say. You know, I'm going to continue my theme of bringing up the hit show Friends, and I'm going to go with the friend that never gets talked about, even though he's in the majority of episodes, whether in the background doing his job or whatever, and that would be Gunther. the manager of Central Perk, the coffee shop, where they all hang out, where he lusts over Jennifer Anderson's character, Rachel, day in and day out for season upon season, until he finally confesses his love for her. Towards the end of the show, yeah. And then the other one to take off is... You know, it is the all white bread show. Like, Will Cain and Fox, I can't stand. It's too much of a white bread to me. It's just can't take it. Oh, man. It's white bread. That's it. Yeah, the other one that's take off is a sidekick to one of the side characters in the show, Seinfeld. It was about time. Elaine, later on the season's got her kind of her own universe. And in that universe, she had her on again and off again, boyfriend.
David Puddy, who I think is one of the most hilarious characters in the show. I'm glad he was introduced later on, whether as Jerry's mechanic or whether it's going to the devil's game and put it on the face paint or, you know, it's to support the team, you know, like things like that. Germaphobe. Germaphobe wearing the eight ball jacket. You've got to talk to the eight ball, you know? Like that whole, this whole stick just cracks me up. So I've got to throw him putty. All right, Puddy. App and you, Sean? Who do you like? So off the top of my head, I was originally going to say Charlie from Always Sunny before I realized that he's a main character. Yeah, he is. But rickety cricket from Always Sunny. Oh, yeah. Okay. His de-evolution from a man of the cloth to a homeless man who smokes crack and dittles dogs. All right. It's something to the whole lot. You're hallucinating. It's okay. All right. You covered a lot of ground there, Sean. Yes. Okay, 855, 839, 12, 10, you get on board. What? ABC, CBS, NBC's ICE coverage in Minnesota was 93% negative. They got to work on that. That's 7% positive for not negative. One mention of the officer being hit by the car. Nice. How did that one mention get in there? It was a mistake. It was a mistake. We didn't mean it. 93%. Now you think it would be more like even 60, 40 if they wanted to be on the mob side? Okay. Hit us with in a sitcom the all-time. I don't know if that sitcom is what I'm saying. But okay, all time in a sitcom is we're looking for from the great Dwight Shrut today. And your question for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 1.30. As I said, Josh Shapiro gone all out to say chaos. That's what he's going to run on. He's not the chaos guy. He's normal. And my mother? Well, she should have gotten mental help then. That's why I am like I am today. Don't listen to Kamala Harris. I take the side of Kamala Harris here. And that's something. She could have been whine-addled or whatever was going on. She got one lift at Josh Shapiro in these meetings like, oh, my God. But how in the world out of the entire country? This is like drafting Ben Simmons or worse. How in the world out of the whole world? I say that all the time, Henry, you're on my side. DJ and Luke, don't get me. I said, well, you know, I think he was the best in the world. The world's pretty bad if Ben Simmons is the best player in the world at that point. It can't be. Yeah. I wouldn't do it. Fire me, do whatever. Give me some more money. I'm finding somebody better than Ben Simmons. And if I'm doing the VP search, well, wait until you hear one of the names for Lieutenant Governor on the Republican side. that I read today, and if this is the case, I'll give it to you coming up. I got to tell Stacey Garrity. Bail, no way. This person could be your lieutenant governor. I'll give you the name of John Ventry, Henry. You may want to Google him. You'll see, the E-N-T-R-E. And you'll see why. All right, that's all straight ahead on Talk Radio 12-10. This is Talk Radio 1210.
WPHT On Demand. On Demand. All right, it is Dom time. Hit us with that sidekick. Maybe one who dominates all time in a sitcom. That's what we're looking for. Got to be a really good one. We took some of the better ones off the board. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., 130 today. And... At least three or four huge areas with him. They're in Harrisburg. It's the Eat Real Food Tour that kicks off. And what's Josh Shapiro's biggest criticism? Chaos. So, you know, let's go point by point with Josh, the great Josh Shapiro. Let's leave aside the vaccine issue. Are these other things chaotic? Or are they things that have been debated for quite a while? And nobody had the ability to have the backing of a president and a movement that wants them out. Now, I think some people in the Maha movement think they can blame the world for their own lack of fitness or whatever, maybe. Okay, you can make that point. And just because. We have a lot of processed food. You have to succumb to it. But for convenience sake, and also unearthing what's been in front of us, and particularly with kids. I gave you some of the stats just when you're in about dyes and processed food and things of that nature. How can you quibble with that? Well, Josh Shapiro likes saying the word chaos. And I'm not making it up. You'll be able to read his memoir. Don't buy it. Just see the excerpts. Trying to explain away why he has such a bad reputation, even among driven politicians, by saying he's like that because his mother used to yell and had mental issues. And he had a largely unhappy childhood. And as a result of that, he took on this control freak stuff. You can understand why. My God, is there anything this guy won't do to explain spin something? I mean, if you heard me over the years, way ahead of the curve, I'm going back 15 or 20 years. This guy is as far out there as any political candidate we've ever seen. As far as control, chameleon-like, it is just incredible. And when they picked Tim Walz up, well, first of all, they're dumb. I mean, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was able to pick Lyndon Johnson. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Lyndon Johnson wanted to kill each other because he knew Johnson moved up, win Texas. And then he put him on ice, and he did. Kamala Harris couldn't figure a way to put Josh Shapiro on ice. Wow. She's got to be pretty bad, and he has to project something that is malevolent behind the scenes. What about my artwork? How much artwork can I put in there? The clock is ticking. You're trying to win a presidential race, and that's what you have to put up with this guy. You've got to beat him. All right, who's the guy they're looking at as lieutenant governor, according to a news report? And Stacey, please, let's get off this guy.
Henry, I had him one when I was at WWDB. It goes back that far. John Ventry, I would say, is the leading UFO monger in the country. And when I told you that, you were looking like, well, you know, there's a lot of people who like conspiracies and UFOs. Yeah. Maybe he would be helpful. Can you see Josh Shapiro putting on a bib because of the saliva? Oh, yeah, like lobster, like he starts speaking. He starts tying it on. Yeah, they're not going to talk about Stacey Garrity and all. They're going to say, you've got a UFO guy there. Yeah, you're not serious. You got this guy. Chaos. Chaos. Chaos in the Capitol. So his name is mentioned. They're apparently having some degree of difficulty. We talk to Guy Sharaki a little bit about this with finding somebody to run for a lieutenant governor. I realize at this point in time, Josh Shapiro looks like a juggernaut. But he's got a glass jaw. He's never really had someone challenge him. All out. I mean, you talk about Bum of the Month Club. I don't think Joe Lewis would have fought a bum of the month named Doug Mastriano. I was watching Rocky the other day. You know, they want some guy colorful. Yeah, the Italian stallion. Put him in there on July 4th. Josh Shapiro, get me Doug Mastriano. Then he publicizes Doug Mastriano while saying what a menace he is. But he publicized him because he knew what he was going to do. Okay, coming up yesterday. What a spectacle over in Jersey. What a spectacle in Davos today. The great E.J. Antony is next. Then we'll take your calls. Breaking down what President Trump did, he did on the way to Davos. He did put in an executive order to stop Wall Street from buying up single family homes. We'll see what E.J. thinks about it. I'm on board. I think he is. Are we renouncing capitalism? All right. First, though, let's talk Diane Cardano and what we have coming up on the 31st.

Come on over here. Sit down. Yeah, let's do a remote from there in Davos. Imagine that guy we'd be in a Goulag somewhere in the middle of Germany inside a half hour. All right, E.J. Antony is an incredible resource to have. He is the acting director at the Thomas A. Row Institute for Economic Policy Studies and Grover M. Herman Center for the federal budget. And he joins us periodically when we have big moments like this lot going on with the economy markets. are looking pretty good, the last five minutes that I look. Let's go to E.J. Hey, E.J., a question for you. Have you ever been to the World Economic Forum? I have not, nor would I ever quite frankly. Why? What's the objection? Oh, dear goodness. Could you have a more poorly named gathering? There's nothing economic about it. It is socialist. It is communist. And that's about the end of it. Yeah, it's the John Kerry, the face of it, and Klaus Schwab, E.J., telling us, our better is telling us how we should live and what they're going to do. So before the president left, I don't think he announced it there, it was announced in flight. He did do what we talked about before. An executive order, Wall Street, single family homes. Your thoughts on it. Well, I think the president, first off, made a lot of really great points. He's coming into this, or I should say he came into this from a real position of strength. People have seriously underestimated how good the U.S. economy is right now relative to the rest of the world. I don't think most Americans understand just how bad economic growth is, for example, in essentially the entirety of Europe. We're even growing faster than China right now, if you can believe that. That hasn't been true in ages. So again, this idea that somehow the president is going into a hostile environment, yes, that's true in a certain sense, but he's also going in there with the strongest poker hand at the table, if you will. And so when he says something, that doesn't mean it can simply be ignored. And I know things like Greenland have gotten a lot of attention, and Denmark is basically trying to brush that off. Like, no, it's not going to happen. What are they going to do about it? I mean, at the end of the day, look at Canada. We threw Canada into a recession by getting into a terror fight with them. We have so much economic power over the rest of the world. At the end of the day, how much of a fight are they really going to be able to put up? And I think that's all part of the message that. that he's been delivering. It's kind of the hammer that he's been dropping. Me, Jay, I wanted to go back, though. Did you have a chance to see the executive order? He did it. Not there, but when he was going there, that you and I talked about around the housing. And some cities, it is astounding how much of Wall Street, 20% of homes, new homes, single-family homes are owned by some Wall Street company.
Yeah, absolutely. And look, at the end of the day, Dom, I'm fundamentally a free market guy, right? I grew up with Larry Cudlow, my good friend now, telling me that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. And that's just as true today as it was back then. But I think that this can be seen as a good step in the right direction because it's trying to correct not even necessarily a failure of the free market, but a failure. of government, chiefly regulation, where we have so over-regulated the mortgage lending market. And we have created all of these artificial problems, essentially, that it didn't have to be that way. This is going to help correct that to a certain extent. It's not a cure-all. It's not the only thing that needs to be done. And it's not even a perfect fix. It is a Band-Aid. I admit it. But I think it's better than nothing. What's next on the horizon, E.J. Look in your crystal ball a little bit after Davos and the rest of it. I think the president is going to drill down on affordability, go across the country. What are you watching either in Congress or in the markets or something? What occupies you right now? Well, in terms of Congress. Unfortunately, we have to keep a real close eye on them, but not because they're doing anything good. We just got to keep a real close eye on the spending that's going on there. And as much as we can create some pressure to try to get that down. The executive can only do so much when it comes to reducing fraud and waste and reducing headcount in the federal bureaucracy. At some point, you are going to need Congress to do the heavy lifting. So keeping a very close eye on the clowns on the hill. and seeing what they're doing. Also, though, keep continuing to monitor all the good progress being done on the deregulatory front, including from the Small Business Administration. They have been real champions in this administration for getting rid of onerous regulation and just all this nonsense that it's not a matter of keeping the air and the water clean, for example, Dom. It's just nonsense that's creating bureaucratic bloat, that's not saving lives. It's not saving the environment. It's there to create, again, bureaucratic jobs. And getting rid of that and reducing costs has already paid big dividends. And I think it's going to continue to do that. Lastly, keeping a close eye on the latest economic forecast, we just got data literally minutes ago from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. They're now calling for 5.4% GDP for the fourth quarter of last year. That would be an absolute blockbuster number if we get that. It's just, and Trump is getting more sensitive, E.J. yesterday during that one year, two hours he did, talking about getting the message out, meaning the PR aspect of this, I think all these things on the macro level are tremendous. It's just convincing Americans and hopefully the tax refund, the big, beautiful bill. That will do it that things are turning. I'm hoping they're turned before the midterms.
I agree, Dom, although I will say, I want to caution the president here, don't fall into the same mistake that Biden did. You know, no matter how many times Joe Biden told everybody how great things were and said, don't believe your lying eyes, don't believe your empty wallets, the economy's great, you're doing fine. Nobody believed him. That's why the Democrats lost so monumentally in November. losing, as everyone knows, not just the electoral college, but the popular vote in every single swing state. And a lot of these margins weren't even anywhere near as close as we thought they were going to be in terms of within the individual states. So I would say, Mr. President, it's not just a matter of telling everybody things are great. I think we also have to recognize that we are growing fast, but from a low level. Right. Yes, inflation is down and people's incomes are growing faster than prices now, but again, from a very depressed level. We've seen people's inflation-adjusted weekly paychecks on average, Dom, rise roughly 1.5% since Trump took office. That's great. We're moving in the right direction. But also, we haven't yet made up for the 4% drop that we had under Biden. So again, Both things can be true at the same time. We can say the economy is doing much better today than it was before, and we can also say people are still hurting. Yeah, I'm absolutely always there, E.J., with you on that. I'm not saying call it a hoax or neglected or just look at the macro, but I think he's talking too about saying that and then adding what we realize, you know, your individual, you may not be seeing it yet. And here are the things you're going to see over the next several months that I think are going to be more tangible. I think that's eminently fair, Dom. And when you look at what is coming down the pike, I know you've mentioned so many times on your show, the big, beautiful bill. And as all of those different provisions kick in and as people start taking advantage of them, that's going to be huge. You've already seen people adjusting their withholdings to start this year because they could have done it last year since the bill was retroactive, but a lot of people just didn't know about it. It's very common at the beginning of the year. People will adjust those withholdings, so you're seeing that happen. Also, as people file their taxes, and they get much bigger refunds than anticipated, that's also a clue for a lot of them to change those withholdings, to say, okay, I don't need to have as much withheld for my paycheck every week. because it just means that the government's going to end up repaying me. Why would I give the government a free loan for a year, essentially? So as that happens, you're not only going to see, again, big refunds in April, some of the biggest ever, of some families, depending on how many people are working, it'll easily be $1,000 or $2,000 more than they would have gotten anyway. But on top of that, it'll be people, again, adjusting those withholdings that will increase take-home pay.
and that'll mean more consumer spending and faster economic growth. Absolutely. E.J., where do we follow you on X or Twitter? The handle there is at Real E.J. Antony, and that's going to be the best place to find me. E.J., thank you. Thanks very much here. Thank you, dumb. All right, E.J. and Tony here, Big Day, Henry's guy, when plugged in, Davos. Never been there. Come on. Everybody's got to go to it. I don't understand why these guys, Roe is even worse than I am, hating winter, hating to cold. Wouldn't you do it in a tropical thing there on the beach, whatever? Why go to this? Oh, it's Switzerland. Beautiful skiing. Come on. Yeah, well, I figure it has something with the money. It's the world economic form. And you think banking, you think the Swiss. Well, I would think corrupt banks in Florida are just as good. Yeah, it's got to be. Probably. South Philly has them, too. Come on over here, guys. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10. We're coming to your calls. 130, we'll hear Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. fresh off this big event that kicked off today, the Eat Real Food Tour. I wonder how many people are trying to do that already. Or is this just all keeping score with Mahan? We like what's going on here. I'll ask him to, I think they're going to say, well, we've recommended instead of 72 vaccination points in childhood, only 38 shots. I don't know in Jersey. It might be more than 72. Okay. And by the way, a lot of fun with where Mikie Sherrill held her ball last night. Oh, my God, in that mall in Newark. It looked like the Lawrence Welk show with people selling pants right next door to where they were holding the ball. Did she really want to do that? Maybe. All right. And how are those electric costs over in Jersey today? She's put a freeze on them for now. We'll explain why that's, of course, scam. 855, 839, 1210. This is Dark Radio 1210. WPHT on demand. On demand. All right, there might be some pretty good characters there. I think I've interviewed a couple. We're looking for all-time sidekick in a sitcom. Coming off Dwight Shrewts, of course, the office, arguably top five, I would say, and they kind of steal the show. Also, here is, and this woman, this is cut 10, has been fired. We need to almost daily do a wild white women segment. Of just the nastiest, wildest things, what is propelling these women forward? This woman is a registered nurse and was the vice president of Home First Choice in Ohio, kind of a home care thing. Chandra Petri
I can't pronounce. It's a tough name. I'm going to say that's Sharik. Sharik, they threw like every consonant. I'll take Z's. Yeah, CZ is a top one. About going after Karoline Leavitt and what she wishes for her. And she knows she's being taped. She knows she's the BP. She's a nurse, etc. On Twitter. What she wishes, she seems to think she can skate because she doesn't wish ill on the baby per se. She wants to be the baby in some bizarro Rosemary's baby thing, I think, to be the one that kind of cripples Karoline Leavitt. And it's in detail. Here's what she said. My wish for Caroline Lovett. She is pregnant with a baby girl. And I truly do. Hope that baby is so healthy. I hope she's healthy and headstrong. So headstrong, in fact, that as she is emerging into this world through Caroline's geriatric deck garage, that she tears her from about a fucking stern. Grade four tear. Like so big that when she gets out of the shower naked and walks across the room, like she accidentally picks up dog toys. Yeah. That's my wish for you, Caroline. The nature of it. Now, think of this woman's background. Think of how many of these we've been through. What is it that is propelling them? And we've, there's an emptiness, there's a hatred, there is just, would you not think for your own self-preservation? And it's one thing. If you saw Karoline Leavitt, you yelled something, you know, or you saw somebody on the right, you yelled something at them. Okay. But this is calculated to sit there and put this out for the world, given your position. Yeah. Is that the Rosemary's baby thing? It's a lullaby, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mia Farrow looks brutal in that. Oh, my God. Was it the haircut or what? Well, I don't know how Mia Farrow was married, but I don't know which one's worse by Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra. The Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, like what? Yeah. Is Woody Allen, maybe, I guess. Then the bizarro world there with the daughter and the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. The guy who plays the husband, and he's a good actor, does a great thing on his deal with the devil, really good. And Hutch in Rosemary's Baby, I think, is a great character. John, yeah, John, yeah. And who's Hutch? I've seen him in a lot of things. I'm not sure. Hutch takes one. Maurice Evans. Yeah, Maurice Evans takes one for the team. They got his glove, and that was enough. That's it. Okay, coming up, we're going to talk with the great Dawn Fantasia, Assemblywoman from Sussex County in New Jersey, her breakdown yesterday of Mikie Sherrill, Mikie Sherrill going colonial. Trump is King George. Jersey is overthrowing that. The emphasis on Jersey is one of the biggest colonial states. Not so much.
And then at 1.30, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., a lot to ask him if you have a question to put in because we got at least 15 minutes with him. We'll hear it out. Here's how you get in. 855, 839, 1210. Dom Jierdano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Okay, it is Dom time during the governor's race, which was the highlight of the last year as far as intensity, involvement, up and down the line. Dawn Fantasia was a great surrogate for Jack Ciattarelli, and on her own, breaking down exactly Mikie Sherrill and where this goes. And one of the things you're going to be hearing is, well, look, not even first day in, during her inauguration speech. She signed an executive order freezing electricity rates. Is that true? And then months from now, people will get their month. They'll get their bill and they'll say, well, wait a minute. What's frozen about this? What is the scam? What is it she's trying to do? My eye, and I'll let Dawn go where she wants to go, is on the attorney general in Pennsylvania. They're going to go after anybody in any way, shape, or form. They will weaponize that office even more than Murphy did. And in the speech yesterday, comparing Trump to King George and saying ICE are like the British troops, standing army in our cities, and really buffing up, who knew Jersey seemed to be the number one state when it came to colonial America? I mean, I thought it was Pennsylvania and Virginia. Oh, no, it was Jersey. You know, over there in Newark and places like that, that's where they took on the red coats. And they're going to do it again with Mikie Sherrill. All right, let's go to Dawn Fantasia here, Assemblywoman, Sussex County. Hey, Dawn, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. Were you at any of the events yesterday? No, I was not. I respectfully declined. I respectfully declined. So, Dawn, let's start. breakdown, and I think you put it up on Twitter a couple times, exactly what will she do to pretend like we're getting progress on electricity rates, for example? All right. So what she rolled out is the first big move, the so-called state of emergency on utility costs. Right. You know, the way she sold this yesterday and even during the campaign, you'd think families are finally going to get relief. But when you actually look at what's happening, absolutely nothing is happening. So if you freeze one small piece of a massive electric bill, it doesn't make electricity affordable. The rest of the bill keeps rising. So you have capacity charges, transmission fees. grid modernization surcharges, renewable compliance, all of that green. None of that's frozen. None of those fees are going away. But here's the joke. Then here come the quote-unquote credits. This is the part that people don't realize until you spell it out for them. That money is not coming from the state. It's not coming from Washington or Donald Trump. It's coming from you. We pay two things, the Clean Energy Fund.
It's paid for through a mandatory surcharge on your electric bill. And then we have Reggie, that disaster, the regional greenhouse gas initiative, complete nonsense. And it's paid through higher supply charges. So it's on your bill because power plants are forced to buy carbon allowances. And then they pass that clock on the us, right? Our states and Mikie Sherrill, oh, we're using Reggie and the Clean Energy Fund to help you. Let me translate that. That's we're giving you back a pittance of your money that we already took for you for programs that don't work or make the air any cleaner or the water any cleaner. So we're paying more. The state collects the money and then they give it a little bit back to you and say, oh, here's relief. How does that lower the cost of energy? And freezing bills at the highest point that they've been, this is lunacy, lunacy, and with big smiles. this great? No, it's not great. It's horrible. Yeah, but let's give credit, given the environment we're in with the media and the money she had at the beginning of the campaign, Dawn, she got out from under what should have been the anvil that she had to carry the whole campaign on affordability, and they let her do it. I think in the first month or so, she was able to dismiss that, and she just said that, blightfully, every time it came up, that she was going to go on day one, stop this. Well, of course, but here's the problem. The real problem never gets addressed. Right. Right. New Jersey doesn't produce enough reliable power. Right. We shut down base code plants, block new generation. You know, we replaced any modicum of reliability with ideology. So now we have a string grid. And actually, me and Assemblyman Greg Meyer from Ocean County were part of a collaboration between a bunch of different states, Pennsylvania being one of them. And just this past week, we met out in Annapolis for our second meeting. We were in Harrisburg back in the fall about what we can do because we literally have legislatures and governors that are so out of tune with reality. And when one governor does something ludicrous, it affects the entire grid. And New Jersey and Maryland specifically, we're like leeches on the power grid. And thank God the legislature in Pennsylvania put enough pressure on your governor there, Josh Shapiro. to drop the red dam, right? Because we're all patting ourselves on the back and saying, oh, we're so clean energy, we're so pious. Meanwhile, we're buying energy, you know, from coal and natural gas. And thank God Pennsylvania was able to get a handle on that because you were going down the same slippery slope. We are, and Maryland is. It's a disaster. Did you like, did you see it as unexpected, saying it seemed to be Jersey. was the number one state in colonial times, and that's where we're going to fight and not take it anymore. Pennsylvania, Virginia, now, no, no, it was Jersey that did it. All this under the name, you know, pivoting to Trump as a king and Trump derangement syndrome, that's what it's like, and that's what the midterms are going to be about. But was there anything else that caught your eye yet? Well, I know.
What is up with not swearing in on the Bible? At least one hand on the Bible, if you want to put it on this other cockamamie book, okay. But no hand on the Bible. You know, I don't know what her religious leanings are or how that works. I think it's very performative to, you know, swear in. We had a new assembly member swear on a stack of the voter rolls. Now this one swearing in on the Declaration of Independence. I mean, it's all performative garbage. But, you know, I was not at the speech lab, but of course I listened to it. And, you know, when I was listening, I kept waiting for that moment where she was going to stop campaigning and start acting like a governor. And it never came. It felt like she was still running for office and, like, energizing the Democrats instead of standing there as the governor of New Jersey talking to families who are really, you know, under the wire right now. And all it was with symbolism, like you said, right, history, sweeping references, the American dream, what it means to be a nation, you know, all these different things. And then it segues. Constant references to Trump in Washington. And I just kept thinking, why are you talking about him? People aren't sitting at their kitchen table and say, oh, Donald Trump, no. They're getting their electric bill, the property tax, the grocery bill, you know, whether they can afford to stay in the state. And instead of talking about that, if she wanted to stay in Washington, she should have stayed in Washington. She's in New Jersey. And you know what made it impossible to ignore was how warm she praised Murphy, thanking him. Oh, his leadership framed the last eight years like it was something to build on. Insane. But my political year was what they're going for, and it's a caution to Trump. I think it's going to pivot now. We're not going into Greenland, no force. You notice in there talking about the Jersey people are not waking up every day at their kitchen table and wondered about Greenland. They want to know about affordability. So if they can throw this off on Trump, he's not paying attention, Dawn. They can continue to jack up costs. My God, I don't know what it's going to take for New Jersey to figure it out. But what New Jersey experienced over the past eight years, higher taxes, higher energy costs, more regulation, fewer choices, businesses closing, right? And you can't, she sat there and praised the actual people responsible who drove us into the mess. And now she's, I'm here to fix it. And Donald Trump, it was so unbelievable. And that's why this. speech and her governorship. You know, you try to be optimistic going in. You try to not prejudge. But this is just a continuation. It was a message to the political class that the narrative is going to be protected. All the alliances are going to be the same. The only thing that's going to change is now we have a pretty face that's delivering it. That's it. That's the only change. Well, I got to say my change is, Dawn, when we spoke throughout the campaign, I wasn't like Matt Rooney or Rich. Didn't get the juices going for me. I mean, the ideology and the policy got me going.
She's happy, but you know what? Starting to wear on me now. There's a whiningness. There's a whole thing here. But you were the best because you combine the passion without, you know, personally going after her. I mean, I know it's a line here, but I don't sense that that's what sets you off. And what sets us off is, and what I'm hoping the issue is Dawn that wakes people up. is the issue of developers, which are in the game, coming into their communities for this phony affordable housing. Well, you know, we got a hard blow just yesterday, I believe, where the lawsuit with the 27 municipalities, right, lost that because there is no relief offered at the federal level for this. So procedurally, this is all incorrect. You know, and again, putting her in that seat, 10 of those 27 towns put her in that seat and were towns that voted overwhelmingly for Mikie Sherrill. And here they are suing. Like, do they even know who they're voting for? And again, to get to your other point, it's never personal. And I say this, too, when we talk about, you know, to other legislators or whatnot, it's not about the person. It's about the ludicrous policy you're putting forward. There's no reason for me to get personal or, you know, talk about the governor specifically as a human or these legislators as a human. Not at all. It really is stop putting forth bad policy. They get very upset with us who are more outspoken, myself and some of my colleagues. And you know what my answer is to that? You don't want me to be critical. Stop passing stupid bills. Why don't we start there? And then you'll never have to listen to me again. Stop passing stupid things. You took away a bit of optimism there, though. I forgot about that. The 27 states, the 27 cities count, whatever. They voted for. I've been playfully going after Medford and Medford Lakes here locally because they had this really heated meeting. They're going to have to build 800 houses there for 174 affordable ones and all they went with that. And suddenly, Dawn, they went nuts right before the election. And yet they still both towns went for her. What in the world? You don't see that maybe on any other issue. Jack Ciattarelli, low taxes, and going to fight this development thing. She's going to enable it. She'll be cutting ribbons. What does it take? It just hasn't happened yet enough. I don't know if that's the case. I think people are in real pain and they're really suffering. And I think it's all about messaging and narrative and deflection and distraction. I mean, look it back in the day. And Matt Rooney talked about this because he was privy to it as well. When the energy crisis was really hitting the fan, you know, if the election was peeding up, the Democrats had a leaked memo. where they said, oh, boy, we got to get a handle on this. We need to flip this narrative. Like, let's blame the Republicans. How did how do you blame the Republicans and the minority, right? For creating this debacle that was happening, but they were scrambling. You had to see the bobbing and the weaving and the nonsense and the fact that a Democrat in New Jersey actually ran on affordability. And, you know, my district mate, Mike and Gannimore, aptly pointed out.
You know, she spoke, you know, thousands of words yesterday, and the word tax didn't come out of her mouth once. I wonder why. You know, surprise, surprise. Partying. Yeah, Dawn, partying for you. I'm going to get into this. There's a piece here. Look, over in Camden, New Jersey, I know it's far for you, but probably on your radar screen. They have gone from worst. I don't know first, but I got to give them credit. It does seem to be much safer. But the cost is a lot of surveillance. And the article here that I'm going to get into later, Dawn, calls Jersey the surveillance state, you know, drones and a bunch of other things. Is that talked about in the legislature? I mean, rather than enforcing the laws, having penalties that are going to be a deterrent, they're relying on just calling it the surveillance state. Is there anything that comes up around that? Your thoughts? In relation to crime, you're talking about directly. Yes. Yep. Okay. Well, actually, no, I haven't heard a peep about that whatsoever from a legislative standpoint. That hasn't hit us yet. However, this is another, you know, distraction. If we can keep talking about ice and painting ice in a negative light and trying to put up roadblocks against ice and ignoring, you know, the man who is awaiting trial for hurling rocks and fractures an eight-year-old third-grade little girl's head on a bus, you know. And if we can ignore that and just talk about, you know, how evil, quote unquote, ICE is and how we need to thwart them, nobody's paying attention to, you know, surveillance or anything like that. Like there's a real, real divide here in the state where the Democrats are not the party of law and order. The Republicans are the party of law and order. And, you know, meanwhile, you have, you know, creep of surveillance or whatnot. And again, that's really a Democrat initiative that's happening there. Now, I'm not placing a value judgment on that either way because living in one of those cities that's riddled with crime when you're trying to raise a family. And it's, I can't even imagine the horror that that actually would be day to day because I don't currently live in Camden. But what I can say is. They talk out both sides of their mouth. They claim to be the party of law and order and want to bring down crime in cities. You know, yet they try to restrict concealed carry, making everything a sensitive place so we can't protect ourselves. And then they demonize ice. So, you know, you kind of can't have it both ways. Republicans are pretty clear. We are the party of law and order. We want to crack down on crime. We support our police. We support our law enforcement. We support our prosecutors. I think the other side needs to start acting like it and get some type of unified message to protect New Jersey, and that's not happening. Absolutely. Dawn, thank you so much. I know how busy you've been. Where do we find you on X or Twitter? On X, you can find me at Dawn Fantasia underscore NJ. And then on Facebook, you can search up Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia. Don, thank you. Stay well. Thanks, Dawn. Thanks, Tom. All right, Dawn Fantasia. So I've met in person. Got to get out to a haul down to Mulligans and all, but we got to do that. All right, just about 15 minutes away from a guy whose legacy. Look, nobody's legacy is going to be bigger than Trump. But this guy already has a legacy.
bigger than any cabinet official that I remember over the last 20, 30, 40 years. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. will be here at 1.30. We'll take more of your calls coming up. 855-839, 1210. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT. On Demand. On Demand. All right, Domjia Dano's show, big issues, big guest. Chaos, Josh Shapiro says. Yeah, Henry, we were talking and getting some tea and coffee and all that during the break. Yeah, nerves would be there, but Josh Shapiro would be like Rocky, you know. Oh, yeah. Remember they do with Creed? They do the breathing in and they pop in the gloves and the thing. Yeah, that's what it would be like. So I don't think Josh Shapiro will ever come on again. He's got a book to sell, though. Who knows? Can you imagine? We can play basketball, too. He's got a heck of a jump shot. He's not getting it off. I'm going to, he's going to have to drive to the basket. Not for charity. All right. Side question today. That all-time great second banana sidekick, maybe even dwarfed, who is supposedly the star of a sitcom. Tomorrow we have to do that. Is it Jim Bob or Joe Bob? Jim Bob Cooter. Jim Bob Cooter. I mean, everybody else is turning down. He's my odds on. Look, I don't care about the Eagles offense. I just want to see Jim Bob Cooter press conferences in Philadelphia. Oh, my God. Does he have a Southern accent? Do we have any color? You know what? I don't know. I have to look at you. Tomorrow we'll do that. We'll look for something Southern. All right. Dan and Richborough Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Dan. Hi, Dom. Thank you for taking my call. You're welcome. I think the most important thing I'd have to ask you to ask, because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is coming up in 12 minutes, is ask him to explain to you the Danish government, what they did with vaccinations in Africa when vaccinations were before six months, what the rate of injury was versus after the baby was six months old. It's unbelievable. It will definitely change your mind. Okay, so you support it? Yes, because the babies were, that there's 30 years worth of data, just reference 30 years worth of data that he will tell you what that data said. If you vaccinated a baby before this procedure, I think it was before five months, there was a, they have a life expectancy of X, and if you did it after six months, after six months old. It was a life expecting of X plus 20 years. It was really crazy. Well, it is on my list, and you raise something, too, that maybe throws it off a little bit. Denmark's not like us, but I get what you're saying. The other part of this is they're afraid is the argument the other side, Dan. If you don't do it when you have the mom and everything, you know, in the clutches, then it's not going to get done. And I was going to ask them that, what's the safeguard on that? Or... Did we throw it up in the air and say, well, it's kind of parental rights to do or not to do some of this stuff? Yeah, I don't know, but he just cites 30 years worth of a study that's phenomenal. Well, I'm looking, you know, why? Because that's the type of thing that might get them pretty fired up. So I will put it on the list after we get into saturated fats. Come on now. And can I go to Mikey Schro for 30 seconds? Sure, sure.
I personally believe as a man, and I think that you're a man also. We might differ on what the definition of it is. I think we both know. But the American dream is being able to provide a house for my wife and my children. And that dream, the home, buying a home is part ownership in this thing we call America. Right. So that is like my quintessential right, with exception to being able to have free speech. Owning my own plot of land is my number one priority for my family. I would agree with that. Yes. So for Mikie Sherrill and affordability, have her go to Davos, have her go to the private investment firms, and stop using their real estate investment trusts that get better tax breaks, and stop the affordability and buying my pizza property, buy the malls, and put an 800-unit place in the mall that's now debunk. She's talking about the malls. We'll see. You know, I'd... And she's on my list for 2026, Dan. You know, I'm going to give Henry tomorrow my top 10 list. And then we're going to see, are these too much to ask? The real estate investment trust has a tax advantage over you and I, our children, and everybody listening to buy real estate. Exactly. So my favorite, one of my favorite sidekicks. And I really was difficult to get through the episode one of the guy that's Coach Beard, a Ted Lasso. But the best thing about Ted Lasso, and Sean actually agreed with me, every time you watched it, you felt better than when you began watching. Oh, absolutely. It was a total pick-me-up show. So my favorite sidekick is Coach Beard. All right, gotcha. Band is really coming on as one of the callers of the year here. I think he's threatening some of the top dogs here. The thing I like about it, and I know it strikes fear in the heart, you couldn't do that. If you're in last place, what happens? You don't get the number one draft pick. You get kicked out. Relegated. Well, that's the whole, the word of you, that's the whole thing. Don't be relegating. Imagine what that last game of the year would be like in the NFL. Oh, my God. The urgency that the teams play with, I mean, because those top four spots, you know, they go to the Champions League, those bottom three, it's like, oh, we got to beat the crap out of each other real quick because we need to stay here. Imagine, particularly to your point, the guy that owns Pittsburgh. Hey, buddy, no more free ride. You're going to spend your money or you're out. Go get, yeah, go get relegated for the Modesto nuts of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Like, come on, dude. Try a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Colorado. I think, look, I know it could be dangerous, but I think it'd be refreshing. All right, coming up.
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be with us. Thanks for that question from Dan. Henry may chip in with one. I'll all keep the texting. They're already ringing the bell here, almost as much with Danny Seisler as last week. 855-839-1210. You get in. Thanks for listening to Talk Radio 1210 WPST on demand. Domgeardano show moments away from talking with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. And my, if you hear dings during this, it's not as bad as with the cops when we had Danny Seisler here, but Michael Pelka, I'm sitting in, you know, Wegmans here in 2002. Bring some chocolate chips back, Mike. And I don't want to go inside. I don't want to miss a moment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. That's what we try to do. We're all in this together. You're actually going to hear from the guy. One listener wanted to know about Roundup and Cancer. Yeah. I'd stay away from it. Don't be doing roundup. Edge it out of there. Do something. Okay. But I will ask what Dan brought up. Why the Danes? Why are we going to Denmark? We're trying to get Greenland off them. But we're also doing their vaccine schedule, their vaccination schedule for childhood for kids. So he'll be here momentarily. Big rally in Harrisburg at the Capitol. It is the start of the Eat Real Food rally and press conference. Could have gone a little bit long, but I know he'll be traveling and on the phone with us, I guess unless Trump calls him, it won't be interrupted, you know. They gave us a half hour, but I know it gets chipped away by. You know, there's a million people. This guy is having as big of an impact other than a president of anybody that we've seen, and I think might run in 2028. I don't think that's an outside possibility at all. And I see the ringing bells in the producers lounge there is scrambling. They're putting down their beers and are ready to go here with the Dom Jir Dano show. And again, I've tried to take as many questions as I've gotten from you and go with some of them, work some of them in around Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Again, the number one thing is this Eat Real Food tour at the moment. And that's where the most impact has happened and the most stuff that we can reliably say. for the first year has been remarkably effective. Without further ado, big issues, big guests. Let's go to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Secretary, welcome back to Philadelphia. Thanks for joining us today. Dom, thank you for having me. Well, you and I have talked at least eight to ten times over the years once we did an environmental conference at Holy Family College with you. I was a long time ago. Yes, we both have come many miles. So I see you gave some bullet points today. For you personally, hearing it from you, if you had to take away one thing in this first year, which has been chock full of reform, what's the thing that makes it worth it, what you've gone through to get to here?
20, 30 years of talking about these things. What's the number one thing that's accomplished? Well, I mean, I think one of the big accomplishments we had this year that was most challenging but most successful was the reduction on drug prices. The last 30 years we've been paying. The same drug made in the same factory in New Jersey. We pay 5, 10, up to 13 times what they pay in Europe for that drug. That drug. And every president, Biden, Bush, Obama, and Clinton have all said we're going to fix this discrepancy. Nobody's been able to do it. We fix it this year. We now have agreements with the top 16 drug companies and the nations of Europe. that we are going to pay the lowest prices in the world is going to dramatically bring down drug pricing in this country. And I think that is a pocketbook affordability issue that everybody in this country is going to benefit from another great accomplishment with the food pyramid and the dietary guidelines for 50 years. The dietary guidelines have been based not on good science, not on public health, but on serving the mercantile interest of the ultra-processed food companies that had captured FDA. So they were telling us to eat refined carbohydrates, ultra-processed food, sugars and salts that have made us the thickest generation in history and the sickest people in the world. We have the highest chronic disease burden. of any country in the world. Forty cents now, and every taxpayer dollar goes to treating diet-related chronic disease. And we've now flipped the food pyramid. We're telling people to eat real food. American should be eating protein, meat, dairy, milk, cheeses, vegetables, and fruits, and high fiber grain. And that is going to drive a cultural change in American food. We, it's going to change what serves at school lunches. It's going to change what serves in prison and the military and the VA hospitals on Ed Start, the Wix program, food stamps, snap program, and the India tribes. And it is going to drive. good food back into the marketplace so that it's available and affordable for every American. Now, I'm a pescaturians, pretty much a vegetarian, and I'm on board with you. I get the protein part of it. I get a lot of the stuff you had to go through to get this done. But tell me why I feel am I got a little bit of fighting back too much from the saturated fats. What am I missing? That seems to be a real focal point. In other words, a saturated fat idea had gotten a bad name, and you think it shouldn't be that way. Yeah, I mean, well, protein, we made a war on protein for the past 40 years.
And the war was driven not by real science, but by politicized science and by entrenched interests, particularly the ultra-processed food manufacturers who were trying to move us away from healthy food to the foods that benefited their bottom line. And they got a hold of some of the big health organizations, including in the past, the American Heart Association, which has now come around. And we recognize that we need to end the war on proteins and saturated fat, which was not science-based, and we need to get Americans to be eating more proteins. Is there a diet in the world that resembles what you and your people have come up with flipping the pyramid? Is there a place in the world you looked at as a model? Because I know we're modeled for childhood vaccine, which we'll get to after Denmark, what they're doing. Is there a place that does this? Mediterranean diet. Is it like that? The Mediterranean diet is great. I'm on a carnivore diet myself, which has had, for me, extraordinary health benefits. But, yeah, I mean, we're not telling people what to eat. We're giving them a range of foods. And everybody is different. Everybody has different needs. And you can't just tell everybody to eat the same thing. But we're giving them a range of foods and telling them, generally speaking, eat real food. And don't eat the sugar. Added sugars are always bad for you. They're never good for you. and stay away from refined carbohydrates, stay away from ultra-processed food and try to eat, you know, whatever you're comfortable with, but make sure it's real. If it comes in a package, it looks like it belongs in the package, don't open the package because there's nothing good that's going to come from it. We're talking with Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I'm glad to see you on here, and I'm very friendly with Dr. Oz, and I know he's talked about it a little bit. There's not recommendations on alcohol consumption. I'm a red wine guy. I kid myself against the health benefits of that. Why are you taking it easier on things like wine in this recommendation? Well, there's no real recommendation. Those are personal choices. Everybody knows that you should reduce the amount of drinking. Some people can drink, and it's a social benefit to them. It's a social lubricant. Other people, like myself, should never have any kind of drink. And so having a one-size-fit-all cookie-cutter recommendation for everybody is not a good idea. And by the way, you put an alcohol level in the dietary guidelines. How many Americans are going to pay attention to that? How many kids were drinking on a Saturday night at a party? Well, wait a minute.
I shouldn't have six beers because the dietary guidelines told me not to. So it was kind of ridiculous and it discredits the whole thing. It's really personalized. And, you know, I think everybody knows you should limit alcohol use. We don't need to tell you that. uh secretary you should know this and you probably hear from a lot of people i tell you in talk radio though the stuff that you're doing and dr marty is a friend of the show has been on the stuff that you guys are doing is the talk of talk radio Many times it gets even bigger than just the news of the day, Greenland or whatever. This is the stuff that people really care about and they recognize and really pay attention to the details of what you're talking about. So I had a call today that said, make sure you ask the secretary this. Why the Denmark, why the approach of the Danes when it comes to childhood vaccination? You know the criticism, different country, not diverse. Why is that the model or the template we're using? Really, the model was the consensus model for all the European countries. And the Danes embody that the best. They basically are requiring the vaccines that are required everywhere, recommending the vaccines that are recommended everywhere else. Some of them have additions, some of them have subtractions. So it wasn't necessarily Denmark. But Denmark also has one of the best data collection systems. So a lot of the American schedule is based upon Danish studies. And Denmark, you know, you can look at infectious disease rates. The rate, you know, they have no hepatitis B. vaccine and Denmark. It's hard to even get it over there for babies. And yet they have the same rate of hepatitis infections as we do in our country. And what we're trying to do is minimize the risk and also encourage people. to trust the vaccine schedule on what the Danes and the other Europeans have found is that the more vaccines that you add, the less people are willing to comply. And so you lose people who should be complying with the vaccines that we consider necessary and advisable. Secretary, now that you were in Harrisburg today, and I have sparred with this guy many, many times over the years, but I think one of the leading Democrat candidates in 2028, Josh Shapiro, of course, hit you with his favorite word. He uses it with the president, but he used it today on your conference there. Chaos.
that you are provoking chaos here by some of these reforms that are widely applauded and accepted. What's your response to the chaos charge? I mean, I've gotten more done as H.H. Secretary in a single year, and I think everybody recognized that. Exactly. And any HHS Secretary in history, and I don't know what governor... Josh Shapiro is complaining about that I've gotten rid of food dyes in our food, in our children's food. I'm reforming baby formulas so people to get the contaminants, the cadmium, the mercury, the lead out of baby formula, and make sure that the nutrients actually reflect science, modern science, not 30-year-old science. We've gotten the food pyramid, so people are going to be eating real food. We're fixing the SNAP program, so SNAP isn't paying for soda drinks for a population that then goes, 78% of them go on Medicaid, and we pay for their diabetes treatments. You know, I really don't understand. These are all issues that were democratic issues before I got in there. And now suddenly the Democrats are taking the side of the processed food companies. instead of public health, and it makes no sense to me, but I think it's part of the old Trump's arrangement syndrome. If Trump likes it, we gotta hate it, and it's not good for our country, and it's not good for our children, and there are no such thing. As Democratic children or Republican children, we all need to be concerned with children's health. Now, mentioning the president, again, you referenced Dr. Odd, a couple of fun things here. Dr. Oz feels that the president is more testosterone than most or 99% of 70-year-olds? Yeah, he told me that he had the highest testosterone levels he's ever seen in somebody over 70. But, you know, the president does have tremendous energy, like nothing I've ever seen. I have a lot of energy, but he wears me down. He doesn't seem to ever sleep, and he has an idea a minute, and he's, you know, he has an extraordinary constitution, so he doesn't eat well. He eats a lot of crappy food, but somehow he's got a, he's got the... he's got the constitution of a deity i don't know what it is but he's you know that that's a very Robert F. Kennedy Jr. phrasing if i might add that that's the that sounds like legit that's the language you when you said that the deity yeah that's the type of thing i would expect your own workout regimen i wanted to ask you because we were intrigued my producer and i are trying to do one pull-up i don't know how many you got credit for with duffy who won there but what's your what's your advice on that and What do you do? How much weight lifting? What do you do every day? How do you do that? Well, I lift every day. Once you get past, I think, 60, 65, you start to lose a lot of muscle mass. But you can keep it on. You can counter that by eating a lot of protein and by working out every day, but you have to lift.
As we keep your bones healthy, what keeps your circulatory system healthy, and it's what builds muscle mass. And, you know, I have seven kids that I've got to keep up with, and I do all sports. I ski with them. I, you know, play football. I do, you know, I do wind surfing and everything else with my kids. I want to keep up with them, and I want to watch them grow up. And, you know, I can do that because I spend a little bit of time every day making sure that I don't, my body is not declining. We're talking with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the most serious areas and wanted to hear from the guy himself from you identified with. Of course, I'm a former teacher. I had a master's in special ed. So I've seen autism. I've seen various forms of it. Where are we now with this? How well received is this? The Autism Society is on board with you? Is there a contention? And give us a sense of where we go next with what you're looking at. Well, you know, it's a controversial issue. We know this. In 1970, the biggest epidemiological study in history was done, and the autism rates then were 0.7 and 10,000. So less than one in every 10,000 kids today, they're 1 in 31. And the question that nobody can answer is, why is this happening? And those scientific studies because of regulatory malpractice have never been done. So for the first time in history of President Trump's orders, we are identifying the environmental cause of the autism epidemic, and we're looking at everything. We're going in without any predisposition, and we're going to follow the science. Well, I'm in the camp that thinks is some of this. And hearing it from you would mean a lot. If you dismiss me on this, then I take it. Now, I'll come back the next time we talk with a better argument. Isn't some of it we've done a better job of identifying? We've lengthened the spectrum. It's appalling the numbers. There's got to be something more than that. But in your mind, does that contribute to that 1 in 31 number? It contributes a very, very small amount. And there are a number of really big peer-reviewed studies that say, no, this epidemic is real. But you don't even need the scientific study. You just need to look at adults. So people born before 1989, the autism rates are still what historical rates in my generation, 70-year-old men, it's still one in 10,000. And my children's generation is one in 31. So we're really better diagnoses. You would see it in older people, not just young people. And we're only seeing it in the kids born after 89. Do you feel confident, Secretary, over the next year, we might see another area because of the research. I know it's around the clock going on on in this. In other words, we talked about Tylenol already. But is there something else on the horizon that might be coming up that's going to be in the public focus?
I think, you know, there's pretty good science on Tylenol right now, particularly in the perinatal period. So the worst time to give Tylenol is immediately before the birth of the child or within the month after the birth of a child. And there's very, very strong science on that. And, but, you know, autism, like all of these chronic diseases, is more multifactorial in its ideology. So there's going to be not just one answer. There's going to be many. And, you know, it all has to do with the stress that we're putting on our mitochondria, our metabolic health. You know, our kids are swimming around in a toxic soup right now. It's coming to them from food. and pharmaceuticals, from the air, water, everything else. And we are going to identify. We're going to be able to identify the principal causes. But there's not going to be one answer. There may be some real villains, and I think Tylenol is one of those. But we're not going to come out with one single answer. It's going to be multifactorial. Secretary, thanks for so generous of the time. Good luck with the Eat Real Food tour that's going on. Where will we see you next on that? Is this going to be nationwide? I'm going right now across the country, so I'm in Harrisburg today. I'll be all over Pennsylvania, and then we start on a real tour, a lot of work, but we want to get the word out. I've got to ask you, though, one question. So if you come here, we talked about saturated fats and all. If you come to Philadelphia and do it here, because this city you can imagine, is the cheese steak okay in the pyramid? Is that way out of bounds? I'm going to continue eating cheesecake. All right. Secretary, thank you so much. Thanks for joining us today. Thank you. All right. There's Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Would you take that as a noncommittal answer on the cheesecake? Or a rousing cheese steak endorsement? It was a cheese steak endorsement for sure. I don't know about, you know, subbing the bun out. Yeah, well, that's right. We're just going to be eating the cheese steak. All right. You heard a little bit of the workout stuff with him too. All right. Boy, I worked out yesterday. I have to go again today. Come on. Sound like Trump when you say that. Yeah. 855, 839, 12, 10. Give me your reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. 855, 839, 12.10, we'll get Henry and we'll get Sean's. I hope we got into the questions. And with autism, I just try to throw the ball out there and let him go where he was with it to kind of give you a preview. You heard his argument about Denmark. I'm still in the camp. And look, he does this every day. It seems to me logical, though, the 1 in 31, some of it's coming that were better.
looking at autism, put more people on the spectrum, more at the low end, that kind of stuff. But yes, there are definitely other elements that are out there. There have to be. What are they? All right. We'll get your response. 855, 839, 1210. This is Dark Radio 1210. WPHT on demand. On demand. All right, big issues, big guests. I'd love to get your reaction, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. personal stuff, some of the stuff on autism. I save that toward the end, the Danes and vaccine. You heard his rationale for that. Robert and Ben Salem, Talk Radio 1210. Hi, Robert. Hey, Dom Henry, it's good to talk to you guys today. Tom, that interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who you have common ground with, was just as good and consistent as the interview with Cecler, who you don't have a lot of common ground with. So, kudos on both interviews. Well, thank you. If I could, I wanted to touch on what E.J. Antony touched on in the prior caller, Dan, when it came to affordability of homes. As we all say, we're all free market capitalists. I am also a big Second Amendment enthusiast, but I'm not going to give an AK to a toddler. I also believe in being able to eat what you want, but it's a good idea to have someone like, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., give you some insight information on what you should be dulled with it. And it's the same way with capitalism, okay? The way it's structured now with investment firms being able to buy single family housing units, You believe in capitalism, but if it's a hurting society, you might want to do it double-take and look at it again because they crowd out ordinary homebuyers because they can pave cash and they can waive inspection and contingency fees. They drive up home prices by increasing demand but not supply. And the sellers will raise their prices as a result. They push rents higher. They use algorithms and pricing tools to maximize their rents. and they benefit from tax and financial issues that we don't, with depreciation and 1031 exchanges. I'm trying to be quick. It extracts wealth from the communities, and it kills home equity, which is the goal for the American dream. And housing isn't a typical commodity because it's needed for survival, and supply is slow to adjust to market demand. And a systemic risk is borne by taxpayers and renters with the investors getting all the upside. thinking is that we need to do something strictly pertaining to single. I'm not talking about apartment complexes or investment properties. I'm talking about single. If we could do something cut out for that just to promote the equally important ideal home ownership in America, I think it's something we should look at, at least. You know what I mean? That was so beautifully put. Exactly. And E.J. and Tony says the same thing. He'd be one of the guys to do this. And we're not disturbing the markets. But you're right. Is there anything that's pure capitalism there? All the benefits. They're exerting all those benefits. And the single family, they have no shot in any of that.
And before I get to the side answer, I just wanted to give kudos and credit to my friend Gary from Newtown because he put together a lot of that information and me and him went over it together. And I just thought it was a really good argument. Hope to hear from him again soon. But anyway, from my side question, I'm going to stay with the office. And it might not be a winner or an all-timer, but I was fascinated by this guy. And his name was Creed Bratton on the office. Now that was his real. He was born William Charles Schneider. But he changed it to Creed Bratton later on when he was playing in the group. Oh, my goodness, what was the name of that group he played for? He played for a rock group in the 60s, Tom. Come on, help me out here. I don't know it. I know they put it in the grass roots. Oh, okay. But he played himself, and he was such a quirky character. Like, when he thought the company was going young, he took the ink out of the printer to make his hair black. When they had that blood drive, at the end of the show, he's coming out in a trench coat with little IV tubes hanging out the bottom. You always wondered what this guy was up to, and he was such a quirky character. He really stood out for me. And I'll leave it there, and I really appreciate the time. Great show is always, Doug. Thank you, Robert. You know, quirky, Henry, is a word, not mentally ill, but quirky. Like, who's quirky? We've got to work it up on the side, because I believe being a talk radio host, you've got to be quirky. Oh, at least we love it, yeah. You know most of us, and there you go. Producers? Yeah, producers can be quirky. Cork is to be like the top thing on a radio host like resume. Exactly. Very quirky. Bloviator. Well, of course, the bloviation. Yeah. If you can't just sit there and bloviate for four hours, come on now. All right, give me your reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210. That, Dom's Money Melody, for a great prize coming up. Dom Giordano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Dom Gierdano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, Dom Gier-Dano's show. You just heard Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. It'll be available, of course, on podcast and all over the place. And I thought, you know, to be honest, to the vocal problems and all that, there'd be a little difficult. That was a very clear line, and he was traveling in a car. So we're very grateful for that. I'd like to get him here in person in town. As his tour continues, we'll let you know about that. That's what I'm working on. 855, 839, 12, 10, you get in. And particularly, you could see the legacy here already on food. Then the question on vaccine and then the question sort of related on autism. I still maintain commonsensically that some of this is due to the change with the spectrum. He says that's very minor.
Got to concede there are other areas here with autism that are problematic. And I'm sure we'll be seeing more. The Tylenol thing, though, with women in pregnancy, was a very delicate. I'm not sure how that was rolled out that that was the right way to go. But you can tell there was a pause. I could hear it in him that this is really sensitive area when we got to autism. And the others, he was flying, you know, through all the stuff that he knows and all the stuff he's been doing. There was a little bit of a slowdown on that because this is very, very sensitive subject. Of course, Governor Josh Shapiro. You're going to hear him again and again and again. This is a guy who got nothing done for how long, no budget, and he's not going to get it on time. What does he, he brilliantly for him choreographed what they did on 95 after the blowup. I'll give credit for that. How long do you get to live off that, though? He immediately comes out swinging and saying that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is one of the biggest purveyors of chaos because of what he's doing here. Is that what you hurt? And there are areas where, you know, I don't fully agree the food pyramid, the saturated fat stuff and meats. You heard the cheesecake response. Get rid of the roll or the bun. Okay. And the workout and the pull-up and the whole thing. So phone lines are 855, 839, 12. The big story today. Trump's saying, no, we're not going to move into any position by force in Greenland. That has, I think, centered people very well, at least the markets, that that's going on. And what we're seeing come up for Democrats, it's going to be interesting. And their base, I think, is going to get on them big time if they don't. We're going to see there's the funding bill going through for the Department of Homeland Security. Ice in there, though. What are they going to do? Are they going to try to come up with defunding that? All their strategists are saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, we tried this defunding the police. It was a political disaster. Just that phraseology. So what I think they've settled on today on this vote, which will be, and it'll be very interesting to see what the Dean of Decency does. Speaking of the Dean, we have a cut from her because she went to Denmark to reassure the Danes. Here is the Dean of Decency. Does anybody say, hey, Dean, what's going on over in Norristown rather than Denmark? Cut 13. Listen to Madeline Dean about America, Trump, and the children in Greenland. Cut 13. Do you think anything's going to change?
Well, I actually would rather go back to where you began this reporting this evening. The statements that the president has made over and over, zigging and zagging, you wouldn't accept that kind of nonsense from your child. Or as my husband said to me this weekend, as much as I love our grandchildren, I really wouldn't accept it of grandchildren even. The president is not making a lot of sense. He wants to possess things. The island of Greenland is not a possession. It's not an asset for him. They are our ally. One of the most troubling things that we heard while we were there from the Greenlandic members of Parliament is that children in Greenland go to bed at night, anxious, fearful, sleepless, worried that the Americans might attack them. What in God's name are we doing? We have poured away, well, we have it. The president has poured away respect and trust for our allies. And, of course, respect in us. It is up to us, Congress, to reclaim that and tell the president that he is unwelled in these ambitions. He's unwelled, too. This is the constant thing. The husband, you know, the bicycle. How about the kids working in sweat factories making those bicycles in Red China so that you and the family can live in, not one, but I think a Shore Mansion, too. How about those kids and their families? That's not me. That's the Philadelphia Enquirer. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 12, 10. We're looking for that all-time sidekick, maybe even bigger than the alleged main character in a sitcom to get in with that. And your reaction to hearing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., that was pretty extended. They were very generous. And again, we had good phone quality. We were scared to death, given the vocal issue, and a mobile. what would happen. Again, I noticed he was really free-flowing with everything that we asked until we got to autism. And I'm not saying you didn't answer directly, but there is a heightened sensitivity around it. And the vaccine stuff plays into that, of course, at some level, in some way, shape, or form. You heard his argument with Denmark, their protocols referencing Europe. pushing back on this notion, well, they're not a diverse country, is the criticism. Why are we following what they did? Now, commonsensically, on the vaccine thing, how many years have we said that a place like Jersey seems to be overkill and a lot all at once? Just commonsensically it does. Now, that doesn't mean there are not arguments. I mean, look, I would kill to moderate a debate between Paul Offit over at Children's Hospital and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. on this stuff, I think you would gain a lot of the back and forth. Even though he's not a doctor, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been on this for years. To hear where we are on this and to hear the back and forth of someone being able to undercut that position. I'd love to see that happen. I don't know that either one would do it.
But he is going to have the biggest legacy of anybody we've seen at a cabinet level and already has engaged in that in such a short period of time. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, just push Pound 1210. This will be cut four. I got to play this because this guy is so odious. Every chance we have to see him, he's exactly the face. of what's going on in Davos today. Where are betters, the billionaires and influencers. They don't care about America first. They want to tell us how to live, what the smart guys say. Here is the Black Rock CEO, and he is the WEF, the World Economic Forum co-chair, Larry Fink. Here's what he said. Many of the people most affected by what we talk about here will never come to this conference. That's the central tension of this forum. Davos is an elite gathering trying to shape a world that belongs to everyone. That is why this year's theme is the spirit of dialogue. Because dialogue is the only way a room like this can earn the legitimacy to shape ideas for people who aren't in the room. No, you'll never have that. No. Those people don't need your cockamamie ideas. Larry think, yeah, is that why you stood on top of your chair at least when the communist dictator was in San Francisco and we played that applauding wildly? Is that the future we have? Who can applaud the communist dictator in front of us and what they're doing to the world and what they would do already have done to us? No, we don't need you shaping our minds, ideas, or anything else. And all the usual suspects are there, John Kerry, Randy Weingarten, a new star this year. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is push pound 1210. Right now, though, it is time for... It's Dobbs Money Melody. ...asola MoneyCon. That's right. We're playing today for a copy of Scott Jennings' book, A Revolution of Common Sense, how Donald Trump stormed Washington and fought for Western civilization. All right, Henry. Yeah, Dom, so on the side question, we're asking for that all-time sitcom, sidekick, side character, or as you like to put it, second banana. Yes. The... Detective Comedy Drama TV show Syke ran for eight seasons and three movies. It starred James Rode as Sean Spencer, a man pretending to be a psychic as well as his sidekick slash partner Gus Guster. I'm going to, simply enough, there's an episode in which they have to investigate a movie set. And in that episode, they changed the theme song up. to reflect the language in which this movie set is taking place. Yeah, the movie set is taking place with a certain country, a certain flair, and the episode's title theme is changed for that episode to reflect that country. So I either want to know the language or the country in which the psych theme song in this one episode is changed to, all right? We're going to take a listen.
Boy, there's a lot going on here. Oh, yeah. Well, the original theme song is I know you know, so that's what you're hearing coming in. But all those other lyrics, yeah, one of that other language that is coming through in this opening title sequence. All right, 855, 839, 1210. We'll get the book off from Scott Jennings. Jump in right now. Let's get a winner. This is Dark Radio 1210. WP.HT. On Demand. On demand. It's the money melody. Where has all the money gone. Show me to my... That's right. Every day, Henry cooks up something great here with it. All right, Henry, the premise today. Yeah, we're listening to the psych theme song from a specific episode where they investigate a movie set. Movie being a key clue here. Want the name of the language or the country in which the theme song in this episode is being sang in. Okay. All right, language or country, we're looking for, the Earl of Tacconi. All right, Earl, what's your answer today? I'm just going to take a wild guess. Is it India? It is India, Earl. Yes, you win the Scott Jenningsville. Oh, thank you very much. I'd also like to discuss something if I could and the side question. Sure. Yeah, give us a side question. All right. Well, maybe sometime later, I wrote another song regarding the fraud in Minnesota. We always take care of that later if you don't have time. But if it comes to sidekicks, I didn't clear this with a screen call screener, but I don't think anyone's got it. Did anybody say Tim Conway? No, that's a great one. McHale's Navy or? Carol Burnett Show. And the network's always thought, this is a funny guy, let's give him his own show. And he had several shows of his own, but they never lasted. And even he admitted himself, I'm always a second banana. Everybody loved him, everybody thought he was funny. He cracked everybody up on the set. But he was never able to carry his own show because he was always best, and his strength was being the second banana. In fact, he has the curse of being... part of that show turn on, which has been part of the side question, where the show was so bad, it was canceled 15 minutes into its half hour run. That's how unlucky he was running his own shows. I'll put you on Holder. All that is a very good one. Okay. All right. Now, I got something really good here. Sadly, Henry's seen it already because I was going to quiz him. Have you seen it in detail, Henry? Yeah, the NFL one at least. This is a guy named Peter Lutz put together at Vote Hub. 1,500 athletes survey. Simple. What party registered? Republican, Democrat, Independent. He says, most unsurprisingly, the league with the highest percentage of registered Democrats is the WNBA. More than two-thirds of the league players. are Democrats with available information. You know, those who didn't do it, they didn't do it. 30.2% are independents and only 2% are registered Republicans. All right. It doesn't surprise me. I'm kind of surprised we got the 2%. It's kind of random there. Maybe Sophie Cunningham. Maybe she's independent. I don't know. The NBA.
The highest share of registered athletes being independent, 45.9, Democrats, 42.9, Republicans, 10%. Independence make up the biggest share, and that surprised me, of NFL athletes at 44.3. The gap is pretty close, though. Democrats 34.3, Republicans, 20.2. The NHL is similar to the NBA. Independence League 48 Republicans, though, close 43. Just 5.6% of NHL players are registered Democrats. I don't know how many are American. Now, by position group, they actually did the position group. And Henry, you've seen this, right? Correct. Yeah. It doesn't surprise me. Defensive backs and running backs were the most Democratic, the most Republican positions are on special teams. Kickers, 50%. Punners, 57%. Long snappers are 61% registered Republicans. Quarterbacks are meds of meds. They are looking for the number here, just the chart. It's 48% independent, 33% Republican, 20% Democrat. Wow, quarterbacks only 20% are Democrats. That's kind of interesting. All right. Now, some of this you think of positions. based on racial lines, you know, and party affiliation Democrat. But the number in these pro rankings that are independent is very high. Now, I don't know if they do that because, you know, they don't want to be identified as one or the other. It's not a good thing, et cetera. So on the Philadelphia Eagles, let's take them. Who would stand out to you, Henry, if any, that you'd be willing to, you know, make a small wager might be a Republican? Cal Atomitus, I guess. Cal Alamidus. Who the heck is that? The long snapper. The long snapper, okay? You're playing the odds here. I could see, I don't think Saquan Barkley's a Democrat. I really don't. I would be surprised. Yeah, it might be an independent. Surprisingly, the offensive linemen are not Republicans, at least according to this. So most teams, they're independent. It's not an overwhelming number. I don't know why. You just reminded me of the story of... When Ryan Nassab decided it was okay to come out as an NFL player, as a gay NFL player. Right. When he used like gay as a slur in a game and like the whole Brown's offensive line turned at him and went, you can't say that? And he was like, oh, I guess the league is ready for me to come out. All right, good. Yeah. So how about what other bit? Tight ends might be more Republican than wide receivers. I'm just thinking here. Might happen.
Yeah, it's only 10% are Democrat for tight ends. Okay. How about defensive linemen? They strike me as nothing. I don't get any read. If anything, Democrats, maybe. 53% independent, 38% Democrat, 9%. Oh, man, defensive linemen only 9%. It tells you how that's changed in the past. You would have more defensive linemen, and linebackers certainly would have been more Republican back in the day. How about now? Only 8% Republicans. Wow. On the Eagles, do they have any linebacker? I thought Zach Vaughn, but I saw him extensively after the one game. I kind of see an independent there maybe. Jaywin Hertz, I don't see him as a Republican. The backup quarterback, that guy could be potentially a Republican, I think. Potentially. I'm just happy to see that most players are level-headed in the middle here with Independence. Okay. Well, they can be moderate Democrats. Well, obviously, yeah, you obviously lean some ways on every issue. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, they don't have to be MAGA or progressive. I can't see too many progressives among football players. I just don't see that. I mean, yeah, it's. They could be liberal, but I mean, I don't see them as extreme on either side. And the long snapper. They should be 61%. Yes. The WNBA only 2%. It might not even be that, right, are Republicans. Someone checked the wrong box by asking. Exactly, exactly. I don't think Caitlin Clark's a Republican. Sophie Cunningham, I think, might be. She's a bit annoying to me, a little bit too much of annex, kind of. All right, phone lines are 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. You've got the side question going on. The reaction I'm getting is good on some social media and emails I'm getting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I think we hit with him some of the really biggest stuff he's involved in. And of course, performatively, Josh Shapiro, what does he say? Why? Chaos. He's going to ride on that. That's what you're going to be here. Here's the Mr. Fix It. This guy gets things done. I don't think even people listening now realize what has big of a threat this guy is. I think he could, not easily, but I can see him being the nominee. And he is a chameleon who used his mother in his memoir to say why he is so domineering and driven, even among these politicians. saying it was a defense mechanism because he didn't have a happy childhood. She had mental issues and there was a lot of yelling. So he withdrew with his sister and brother to try to keep the peace and had to really control things as best he could. And that's where it comes from. This guy's a piece of work. You know, and again, I hear Henry, it's a kid, but I only bring up the son because that's the excuse he gave why he turned away from capital punishment. Now it's his mother. That's why he's, I mean, nobody trusts this guy in the Democrat Party. They know exactly how ruthless he is.

Yes, I think 20 years ago you would have seen more Republicans there, but independence have become a thing. I'm suspect of the independence. I think they are usually Democrats, but don't want to say so. You call me a Democrat, Don? Yeah, I think there's a lean that way. No, I think you might be more libertarian. That's very true. Yeah, and it's sad that the Libertarian Party. is just goes too far, you know, nothing. There's no, there's chaos. A lot of people listening right now. Whether they know it or not, or small L. Libertarians. Yeah, I always think of that clip from like, I think it was like 2016 debate or it's like, should you have a license operator car? And they're all going, no. And then Gary Johnson's the one to be like, guys, what are we doing here? Yeah, he gets booed. No speed limits. No, yeah, whatever. Exactly. I mean, the theory is there. People want the government out of our lives on both sides of this without a doubt. It's just a matter where you draw the line. Yeah. And I think when we meet after the show, Henry, maybe we get Luc Capelli on. He could kind of put this out there. I asked Dawn about it today, Dawn Fantasia. Camden, I got to say, all right, I'm the biggest critic of the nonsense of this, is doing much better when it comes to public safety. They are. But the surveillance level is being criticized by a lot of people. And Henry, I'll take your temperature and Sean's too. Dan. I remember this guy calling it. It really was knocked down, drag out because Philadelphia was putting more cameras in the recreation centers. Right. As a deterrent, it's not a deterrent. They're going to show up and kill each other. What is a deterrent is stopping these people earlier on in their criminal career? Most people do not go out and say, I'm going to murder someone.
They do other stuff. They get away with it or it's mild. And then they step up and do something horrific. So all the cameras in the world are not going to stop them. And there is a cost to that. If you're in public, every movement shouldn't be surveilled. Agreed. Yeah. In this piece about Camden with drones now particularly. Now. Would I allow because something's got to be done to crack this? What goes on in Kensington? If I were the mayor, I would maybe be hypocritical of what I just said in that I am not going to, I'm not going to let you win on this. You're not going to be in Kensington and telling that community is the dumping ground and you're going to continue to deal drugs by the gazillions and blatantly turn it into hell. I'm not going to let you do it, whatever I have to do. I got to admit it. My libertarian grounds go away. If you're the Nazis marching in Skokie where they knew had an incredible percentage of people who survived the Holocaust, if they beat the hell out of you, I got to admit I might turn a blind eye to it. So I have my soft spots on libertarianism. But basically, I think what's happening in Camden and Jersey in general. being a surveillance state is over the line. Henry, how about you? Oh, I completely agree. I hate the additions of when they put new red light cameras in or any of that garbage. Like, you don't need to know where we're going at all times of the day. You know, because the next thing, you know, it's going to be, you know, facial recognition software that they're going to be using through these cameras. And they're really going to know where you are every time, every second of the day. You step out of your house. You step out of your apartment. Like, they'll know. Yeah, why do we need facial recognition to get into a Phillies game? We used to go round and round with that. I contend that those things don't actually work. Okay, they may not. But if they do, you know, the convenience of it is not worth the potential wear that information. Sean, how about you? Yeah, it's not even a Band-Aid on a stab wound. It's like worse than that because it's not even getting to the root cause of why people do crime. It's just... breathing down the necks of everyday citizens and then even then potentially like being able to look for people to just pick them up on whatever kind of slight infraction yeah uh now people that live in camden every day you know they're they're mixed though there are people there still saying you know i'm glad it's down but it is a surveillance state And if you're not consistent, actually gone after criminals, and I don't want to hear about all the drones. Luke Pelley's the head guy over in Camden. I do remember how embarrassing when at an event where there was a brawl. And he said, we don't want these people like that. The bad people from Philadelphia here in Camden. Oh, what an embarrassment for Philadelphia. Camden saying, you know, we don't allow that here. A little brother. Oh, yeah, exactly. And I think they have gotten results. There is no doubt. By the way, finally, and we've been on this for a while, the guy who's the special prosecutor for SEPTA because Larry DeK will not do it is actually prosecuting people. Oh, wow. Yes, finally. He's got 12 cases. And of course,
Larry Krasner is not going to prosecute the woman who clearly attacked or the girl. Our buddy Frankie Scales will Entmire do that. And Larry Krasner, I might add, the impeach Larry Krasner. Once you're impeached, Larry, you're impeached. I know you got unimpeached, you think. But on my big scoreboard here in the studio, you are the impeached, Larry Krasner. It's the scarlet letter. It is. You got the eye on there, Larry, and on your resume, you know, the obituary will say, Larry Krasner impeached footnote. See, Dom Gierdano. All right, let's go to Lance in South Philly on Talk Radio 1210. You want more cameras, Lance? How about you in South Philly? More cameras? Yes. No. We already got enough. Broad Street, Roosevelt Boulevard. You know, half my job is driving around. And I can't tell you how many times I have to slam on the brakes. because somebody in front of me has stopped short because they don't want to go through a camera. Yeah, well, the red light cameras now, I mean, it's, I'd say every two or three months, the most recent, and I was thinking, Lance, I may not come in by the drive in the morning anymore because I was very close today. They got them around the art museum. And again, it's a money grab. That's all it is. Or you get the ticket in the mail. Yeah, well, absolutely. Yeah.
What's your side today, Lance? Well, my side is going to be from the odd couple. None other than the silly native Jack Cleverman. He played Oscar. He was messy. They were both divorced. And he was cheap. Remember the poker games they would have? Oh, he was cheap. So you see him as a second. Yeah, he is the secondary character there. Yeah. Because Phillips was very neat. Yes, of course. Felix Unger. Thank you, Lance, very much. All right. There's one no vote. But I think, you know, Lou will come on. They're very proud of what they've done in Camden. And I could understand that. Yeah. Great opener. Yeah, great opener to a sitcom. We've done that. What's the best opener to a sitcom? You know, this is the show I've never watched, but for whatever reason, the theme song is just burning my head. I don't think it's dated. I think it's a pretty good premise. Then Walter Mathel and Tony Randall, was it Randall, the grumpy old men thing and grumpier old men and grumpiest old men. They milked that pretty well. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's all Walter Mathel did in his career. Then he did it with the bad news bears. He just showed up and he was grumpy. He wasn't acting. Can you imagine that guy being around? Oh, yeah. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. If you missed it today, we'll be up on podcast. Where are the places we'll find this, Henry? Don't say TikTok again. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Of course. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and, of course, TikTok. Okay. Couldn't get them on Zoom today, but people are each day, don't forget, it's an added bonus. YouTube.com slash 1210 WPHT each day. It becomes a habit. But he was really definitive particularly thanks to... Who is it in, is it Dan in Richborough? Yeah, bringing up the question of Denmark. Why did we go with Denmark as the template here? A lot of criticism on that. He explained it better than you've seen in the media. The area, I wouldn't say it was contention, but where it was slow down a little bit because it's really sensitive stuff was autism. And I had to because I. I logically believe this. He said the number is very small as far as we're better at diagnosing, and we diagnose more people on the spectrum now. We know better that you have highly functioning people that should be on the autism spectrum, or are they doing too much of it? One out of 31, I think it's dropped to. And it's a prize to get to the bottom of this, to relieve people to know what to do. I didn't get to the roundup question from a listener about that in cancer. I kind of think that one is obvious. We see what's going on here. And there's ample evidence. I don't know how many court cases have ruled that or not, but there's a tremendous amount around that. All right, phone lines. It is the lightning round, and we'll tell you what we have tomorrow. But today was...
Pretty big. And if you missed Dawn Fantasia about what's going on in New Jersey, she broke it down beautifully about what Mikie Sherrill's up to in the media allowing her to get away with it. But how about the voters in Jersey? You know, how about what's happening to their community with this scam that's overdevelopment for affordable housing? Why did they vote for her knowing this? And the answer is pretty simple. She ran on attacking Trump, and that's what she did yesterday. And we have to face realities we head toward the midterms. There's no wishing it away. This anti-Trump, Trump derangement syndrome, call it what you will. It is not going to abate before the midterms are over. It is not. Oh, Dom, how much. Their theme now is retribution. They keep on talking. And the face of these women that are doing it is that Jennifer Welsh. that you often see all over the place. Big podcasts on CNN. They want retribution. They want a Nuremberg trial or those trials that happen in South Africa after they get into power. They're running not on, all right, we don't want to divide a country. Trump divides a country. We have to get back to normal. They're running on the idea, you elect us. And every one of these people that were in ICE or a Trump supporter or a MAGA in some way, shape, reform, there's going to be retribution. They'll lie and say it's affordability. They need something as the front, but what drives voters out there? And I think it's smart on that part. That's all they have. What do we counter with it? Well, you know what it was countered with in 2024. The Trump voters that came out en masse. Will they do it in the midterms? That's the question. 855, 839, 1210. This is Talk Radio 1210. WPHT on demand, on demand. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. Yes, that is right. Hit us with that all-time sidekick. That's in a sitcom. This coming off, Dwight's Fruit, birthday this week. Tomorrow, this cooter guy who might be the Eagles. I'm praying. Jim Bah. He goes offensive coordinator. We got to do something southern there, at least. Good old boys. I know, Henry, you don't like the second banana, but the good old boy, you don't like that one either. I just never had heard of it before you said a yesterday. Never heard that? Sean, have you heard of good old boy? Only when they drink whiskey and rye. There you go, all right. That's one reference, yeah. But, I mean, that's the thing in the South particularly, even if they differ with you, like you're enforcing the law, but they say you always wear a good old boy. Okay. Yeah. It's like, yeah, you're fine with us. We realize your conflict here. And this guy strikes me. I just picture him red face, you know, type of southern accent, et cetera. Yeah. Perfect for Philadelphia. All right. Let's go to Phil and Delo where Talk Radio 1210. All right, Phil, who's yours?
Hey, good afternoon real quick. The Dukes of Hazards. Remember, they were the good old boys. Yeah, absolutely. Sure, it's a good thing to be called a good old boy. Yep. And one quick question. I'm surprised with the statistics for the WMBA that the Republicans are trying to straighten things up for women in women's sports and not guys peeing in the urinals in the girls' locker rooms or pushing them out of championships. Well, the reason is a lot of these women would support men that were out there because... They don't know their limitations. And Phil, I believe you can have an All-Star team. You can have the championship team. And the boys basketball that won the big schools in California, Texas, even Pennsylvania that year, high school, say, you know, 4A or 5 or whatever it is, they would beat them. They don't know that, though. Yeah. So their preference would be to win a championship, then get shoved out of their own sport. It doesn't make any sense, but it's part of the unreality world. They're egg daughter. You know what, too? Some of them agree with us, but they're afraid. It happened to people in soccer because Megan Rapino and these others are vicious. Yeah. So my answer to the side question is Gomer Pyle, Jim Neighbors. He was so unsuspecting, but if you think back, he was in control. Absolutely. Zenos, we're going to have about 30 seconds. Who's yours? Well, Domine is of mice and men. You know, Lon Cheney Jr. and Burgess Meredith. And in the end, Burgess Meredith had it killed Lon Cheney because the crowd was going to kill him. All right. Thank you. I don't think that's a sitcom of my sitem. Sean, who did you like today? Ooh. Oh, God. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. All right. I'll go to Henry. I'll come back to you. Well, Henry, how about you? Yeah, I liked Earl's answer of Tim Conway because he was in all these sitcoms as the sidekick. They couldn't hack it on his own, so it's the definition of the sign. He had quite a line in there, too, a half-hour show that canceled after 15 minutes. Yeah, that's crazy. Sean, how about you? I like Coach Beard from Ted Lassow. That was a Dan, I think. That was a good answer to. Dan is excellent. I got to go with Earl on this, though. It was almost the definition of what we said here of why the guy who appears to be great like Tim Conway was. is only great if they're the second banana. You make them the, you move them over a step and it's trouble. So that was Steve Urkel too. Yes. Oh, right. Exactly. I wonder what to have it happened to him. All right, tomorrow.
Billy Bob or whatever, Cooter. Jim Bob. Jim Bob, even better than Jim Bob, might be the side question. We'll have great guests. We'll have you. Thanks for listening today. If you missed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., we'll have it up on all those modalities that Henry was talking about. I thought he really had a lot of energy, little petering by the time we got to the end. But it was great stuff, even some workout tips. Kathy Barnett next on Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Dom Jiu-Dano, weekdays noon till 3. From Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Hey, it's the sports junkies.
