  Speaker 1: Peter King. I say this all the time, Peter King,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Woody Giuliani, Woody Giuliani, Peter King, I don't care. Two
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: best politicians in my lifetime, and I just turned fifty
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: nine last Sunday. Great Congressman. Homeland Security and the stuff
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he's done post nine to eleven is worthy of mention
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: every week, and I do mention it every week, especially today, Peter,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: good morning, my friend.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: How are you shit? I'm doing fine. I agree with
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you completely about Mandami being there today. It's truly a disgrace.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It really it's almost a saclice to have him, I say,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: good ground.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It really is. I don't know why there's not more
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and more people in the press that you know, Marshall Kramer.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: She's not a rookie, you know, and to you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: sit there every day and could kip it with the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: guy and laugh and smile. I mean again, he's had
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: so many opportunities to say what Hassan Piker said was terrible.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that he's never done it. And Peter,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: look at the work that you've done. I want to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I want to go over specifically you, John Stewart and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: others what you've done for the families. People are still dying.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It was not a one day event. They're still dying
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: almost twenty five years later. What exactly we were able
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to accomplish that it was masterfull and beautiful for these families, Well,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it was a long haul.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But basically it took us eight, nine ten years to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: get it done the first time, and then three or
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: four more times after that we had to renew it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Now it's extended to the end of the of the century.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And I give Congress from Gabrino credit. He's carrying a
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: ball on that right now and also said it Adili brand,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But it is bipartisan. Basically, it's that anyone who has
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: an illness related to nine to eleven, and there's a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: commission that's set up to determine what a nine to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: eleven illness is, they can go every year to get
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a checkups. In fact, all the time they're going to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: get checkups to see if they have it. Because the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: symptoms of this, the average doctor, as good as he
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: if he may be, will not be able to detect
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: these symptoms early on. These are devastating blood disorders, rare
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: answers that have formed, and we saw them die and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: getting sick one by one. I ed to see it
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in my community all the time. So now people can
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: be diagnosed and go and be treated and then go
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: every year because some of these symptoms don't even show
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: up for five or ten years, fifteen years, twenty years,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and then they get treatment for the rest of their life.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And they were specialists that will be treating their particular
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: type of illness. And every year we have been adding
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: different illnesses to it. And it's again this is it's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a life saver to some and for others it makes
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: their life much easier anyway, less suffering. But it's terrible.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I mean more people have died since nine eleven than
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: on nine to eleven, and that that's a sad reality.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Wow. In fact, our mutual friend Peter Paul to Jockamo,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the former president of the DEEA Scott Moroud doing a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: great job. Now. He just sent me a text he said,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: justin FYI said, over five hundred members of the NYPD
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have died since nine to eleven. Since nine to eleven,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and Pat Russo.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Thirty seven died on nine to eleven.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, how about that? Since Yeah, Russo says, we I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: had at one hundred and three names to the wall
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in one police plaza for those members of the service
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that died as a result of the nine to eleven attack,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: including Joe Esposito. He was just added and you could
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: appreciate all this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: A great guy, what a great guy he is.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: He was, He was a terrific guy. You know the mantra,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And I say it every other Wednesday on this show, Peter,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and you're on every Wednesday, ironically when I do my
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers report for our dear friend Frank Siller,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: whose brother Stephen, heroic firefighter, rushed through that route through
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the battery tunnel into those burning buildings carrying about seventy
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: pounds of gear on his back, and he didn't make it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: They didn't die in vain because Frank and his sister
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and the whole family started tunnel to towers. But the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: mantras never forget. And I gotta tell you, Peter, I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: really disheartened. I really am. I'm not gonna name names.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people seemingly they've forgotten.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: They forgot too many people. And saw this in Congress,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and I never thought i'd see it in New York,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: where you are singing now to them, nine to eleven
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is like Gettysburg or Pearl Harbor. It happened a long
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: time ago. It's a moment in history. Not realizing first
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of all, so many people are living at that time,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so many of us for his friends and neighbors, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the suffering is going to go on really for the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: next twenty to thirty years. And also even if it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: one hundred years or five hundred years, we should never
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: forget what happened at nine to eleven, the evil of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Islami's terrorism, and how New York so bravely fought back.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Rudy was there the judgement. Taki was there, Bernie Charrick
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was there, tem I Vanestion was there. We can go
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to the list of people or they're doing what they
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: had to do, and New York really stepped up, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: unfortunately now they're stepping back, they're stepping down.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They really are. Father Judge died that day, and I know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Mom Doney's gonna make some speech today. It's going to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: mean nothing, folks. You can cry up there. It's not
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gonna mean anything until he takes Hassan Piker to task
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and really gives us some hot belt explanation why he
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: hangs out with people who were co conspirators allegedly of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a bombing and best prayers who think we deserve nine
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to eleven. Until he addresses all that, I don't care
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: what he says today. He can cry, he can talk
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: about how great America is. It means nothing to me.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And that's why I've been yelling about this really for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the better part of three hours. Now, let's get to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: local politics, my buddy and yours.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And let me just say something right now. You've been
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: after me to get Janine drisk on the show. She's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: been after me to get you on the show. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: just must be hanging out with Randy Levig and the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yankees being wined and dined. I took it on my own.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I took it on my own, and so she's ready
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to go on the show. This is why if you're
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: ready for her.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Well, it's just about to say, of Congress. No, that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: why I was about to say, let's get to local politics,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: because I was about to say, your buddy of mine,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Anthony ds Posito, has decided to stay in his position
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: as General Inspector for President Trump's Labor Department, So he's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not going to run against Gillan again. And then I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: became aware of Janeine Driscoll because of Anthony and you,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and yes, I've been all over you. Get Aron, get
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: get her on. She's our hope. And here she is,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Miss Trisco. Welcome to sitting Friends in the morning.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I said, so great to be on the show. I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: really appreciate it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's great to have you. And Peter loves you. Peter
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is really been right about everything, even gemming back to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Mazie Pelopy really has him and Joe Cairo. They know talent,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: they know talent, and they really believe in their heart
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of hearts that you are the next congressman out of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that area. Anthony is not going to run, but they
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: love your chances against Laura Gillan. Tell these folks why
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you are the obvious choice.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I agree with you. I am going to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the next congresswoman at a congressional district four. We're going
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to flip this feedback. I think basically my district that
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I've been in for seven years is essentially the same district.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It's ninety six percent the same when you look at
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the map in ninety throw a long beach in and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: after seven years, I've literally been out in the street
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: in the pavement trying to help people save money on taxes.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: That's like my number one priority, and I have a
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: unique position as the receiver of taxes. I actually have
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: daily contact with residents and I talk to them on
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: the phone and I meet with them, and I'm not
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: talking about one or two I you know, I'm out
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm with eighty to one hundred at a time.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I have thank you notes, and you know, I've established
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: a pretty good rapport. But more importantly, I you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I'm really really worried about the midterms. It keeps me
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: up at night. I have a big family. I'm worried
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: that my kids, where are they going to live? How
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: are they going to survive? So my number one priority
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: is to make sure that the President's agenda continues and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: that this man is not impeached, and that this wonderful
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: agenda that really is helping us does not come to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: a grinding halt.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What is the biggest issue with Laura? You know, when
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Anthony comes on, he usually points out something that she's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in favor of, that is that goes directly against what
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Nasau the residents won and quite frankly goes rightly against
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: what Americans want. What do you think is the biggest
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: negative with Laura Gillan?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean she has so many, but I'm just
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: going to point out, I guess what you said the biggest.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So she's voted against the soalt deduction. You know that
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: was restored last year and basically that was because of
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the hard work of the New York delegation and the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: taxpayers are getting income you know, they file their Income
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Tact and they're getting results, they're seeing it immediately. Everybody's
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: getting a check in the mail. She voted no on that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And then in the big beautiful bill there were a
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: number of items no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: no tax on Social Security, and she voted no on that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: She voted no on the child tax credit. And you know, basically,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: if she had her way to Trump, you know, tax credits,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: everything would have expired. So I think that she really
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't have the interest of the Nasal County residents. She
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: will always take the party line. She's always going to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: pull online with Keen Jefferies and HOCAL for that matter,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and that is not what Nasau is about we have
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: as you know, it's a wonderful place to live, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: we are on the city border. Actually, I live right
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: on the city border. And it's funny because when my
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: husband and I moved out here twenty four years ago,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I was you know, I'm from Queen's I'm a Queen's girl,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and I didn't want to be too foreign low. It
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: was a big thing for me to move out of
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the city and so I'm close. But you know, during
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration, we had so we have hotels and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: we border Queens. We had all these migrants in these
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: hotels coming into our neighborhoods. It was kind of a
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: disaster and I saw firsthm, what could happen in Nasau.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And because of Bruce Blakeman, who is really phenomenal and
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: has done an unbelievable job in Nasau County. I mean,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you enough good things about Bruce. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: think you know, I listened to you all the time,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: so I know that you are very good friends of all,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we can't risk being so close to the city and
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: having the sow fall apart. And it's not fair to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Bruce or whoever is going to be the next county
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: executive when Bruce is an althony next year, that that
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: person has to deal with two Democrats holding those Congressional seats.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: So that's why I'm doing this. And believe me, this
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: is not as you know, it's not an easy thing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: But I'm all in. I'm going to work day and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: night until November. We're going to flip the seat. We're
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: going to take care of our families, We're going to
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: take care of our police. I'm a huge proponent of
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the MYPG and the Nassau Police. Right now, I have
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: a son in the academy, in the city Academy. So
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: as you know, I'm watching very closely what's happening, happening
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: with the police commissioner and the mayor. You know, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: just hope she, you know, she can stick it out
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: and stay on because I think she's doing a pretty
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: good job.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I agree with everything. Well, you sound great, Janine Briskly,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you sound great. I agree with everything you just said.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: We need you to win, you know, you know actually
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: texted me. I know, Pete, You're still on the line here, Janine,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you too, I got a text the other day. You
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: can't make this up. Even Tom Swazi. So I haven't
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: taught to Swazi. I don't know one months. But he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was getting a haircut, I guess he was at his
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: barber somewhere in Nassau County and the barber brought up
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: my name. He said, hey, you know, are you friends
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and you listen to Sid Rosenberg. So Swazi called me
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and texted me right away. He said, just so you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: my Barbara loves me. And I know Swaz is running
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: against Mike La Petrie. So he got a couple of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: races out there where we have great Republicans like Mike
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and Eu Janine running But how about that Pete, your
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: buddy Tom Swase reached out to me.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Everyone's reaching out to you. The one who's legit is
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Janine because I thought she was very smart and telling
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a woman. And she tells me if she listened to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: see you all the time, how could that be?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, just to tell you what a good
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: guy Joe Biro is. Janine has a great family. One
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of her sons is a big football player and Joe Cairo,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: who has been the longest running high school football referees
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in Nansra County. Peter over twenty years. His rear ended
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: when Janin's John slammed into him. Oh my gosh, something
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: he nominated Janine's runout?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Is that ju Jit?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And so that is yeah, it could You know it
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is Chairman Kirol, who is amazing obviously said you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he has to be the managing genius. And he supports
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: every single elected official one hundred percent. It is no favorites,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: there's nothing. He supports everybody he's out there. I don't
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: know how he does it. Twenty four to seven. I'd
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: never seen anybody work harder and support us. But that, yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: what Peter is referring to, happened a year before I
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: even got into this. I was elected in twenty nineteen,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I think that was twenty eighteen, and I heard the story.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I was horrified, said, oh my god, and I started thinking, wow,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Patrick was he was on that team, and we you
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: know it is. It's become sort of an urban legend.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say it was him for sure, right,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: but there were two Flora Park football players involved and
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: very well could have been him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Could have been so in the last thirty seconds.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You know, Cairo.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Joe never lies, That's right, you never. I got about
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds. I've got Leo Torel waiting on hold the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: great deal g Jay Guy. Uh. So, for folks Janine
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: who want to start to help you out now, and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: let me just say it so it's on record, I said,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Rosenberg enthusiastically, enthusiastically endorsing Janine Driscoll for Congress coming up
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in November. But folks Janine that want to help you,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: what's the best way to do it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: So we have a website setup and you can donate directly,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: and it's Drisco for Congress, and it's letter four for
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: fourth Condrassenal District instead of fo R Drisco for Congress
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: dot com. And obviously said you know, and you know
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Peter King knows it's the money right now is important.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I hate to say that, but that's the reality of running,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: especially in this kind of a race. So I really
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I hope people will support me. I'm all in and yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I'm basically not going to sleep it's on November. But
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm so happy to be doing this. I really
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm giving back and I want to help
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: the president President. I'm doing a great job, and I
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: just I can't see. I just can't see a bright
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: future if we lose the midterms. We have to flip
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: as many seats as we can one hundred percent.
