- 1:20Speaker 2: Thank you forty eight yards for Peeley to win it.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Exploding.
- 1:30Speaker 2: He is gone. This amazing NFL career, which he started
- 1:38Speaker 2: before that at Michigan Leeby was good buddies with Tom Brady.
- 1:43Speaker 2: But now he's doing his most important work. He will
- 1:46Speaker 2: be the congressman in the great state of Arizona. Trump
- 1:49Speaker 2: loves him, Sid loves him. Here he is, Jay Peeley, Jay,
- 1:52Speaker 2: good morning, buddy, how are you?
- 1:54Speaker 3: Good morning? Said? That is the greatest intro of all time.
- 1:58Speaker 3: I don't think it gets any better.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And it really is. You get Trump. You really can't
- 2:03Speaker 2: beat that. And then a game winning field goal which
- 2:05Speaker 2: you had many to beat. I think you beat the Bears.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I forget its Dallas. You beat Dallas with Arizona. Yeah,
- 2:12Speaker 2: what a what a career?
- 2:13Speaker 3: You what he did? I gotta tell you, you know,
- 2:16Speaker 3: I was a little humble because I got on with
- 2:17Speaker 3: your producer when he answered when he called me and
- 2:19Speaker 3: he said, you know, hey, Jay, I'm a big fan
- 2:21Speaker 3: like I watched you growing up as a kid, and
- 2:24Speaker 3: I was like, well, oh, thanks a lot. That makes
- 2:26Speaker 3: me feel really really old.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I know, I know. And they throw that word legend
- 2:32Speaker 2: around with me, like, I go, radio legend. I've seen
- 2:34Speaker 2: it in newspapers and in interviews, and I go, all
- 2:37Speaker 2: that means is I'm old. Like, right, you never hear
- 2:40Speaker 2: a young guy being called a legend, right, that means
- 2:43Speaker 2: you're old basically. Now, Yeah, going back to your days
- 2:45Speaker 2: at Michigan, you were friendly with Tom Brady, right.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Tom and I were there for four years together. Yeah,
- 2:51Speaker 3: and then in the summers we roomed together at times,
- 2:53Speaker 3: and you know, it was just he was awesome. I mean,
- 2:56Speaker 3: back then he was just Tommy. You know, there was
- 2:58Speaker 3: no Tom Brady. You know, he was just for a
- 3:01Speaker 3: while he was our six string quarterback and then he
- 3:04Speaker 3: was the backup and he actually held for me at Michigan.
- 3:08Speaker 3: You know, so for a while his most important job
- 3:10Speaker 3: was being my holder, not being the quarterback.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Right, because I think Hankson was actually a quarterback at
- 3:15Speaker 2: the time, right.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah, Brian Grease he started, He and Drew
- 3:19Speaker 3: kind of split time when they were there, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 3: and to Tom Win played the first quarter, Drew played
- 3:25Speaker 3: a second quarter, and then Lloyd Carr, who was our coach,
- 3:27Speaker 3: would make a change at halftime to whoever he wanted.
- 3:30Speaker 3: But you know, you could see some of the elements
- 3:32Speaker 3: of what was going to make Tom great. And the
- 3:34Speaker 3: biggest thing that you could see was his leadership ability,
- 3:37Speaker 3: you know, And that's what made him special at New England.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Is is one he you know, he was going to
- 3:42Speaker 3: work harder than everybody else. But two, he had the
- 3:45Speaker 3: humility to be able to allow, even when he won
- 3:48Speaker 3: Super Bowls, to allow Bill Belichick to be so hard
- 3:51Speaker 3: and tough on him, like like Bill was brutal to
- 3:54Speaker 3: him in those locker rooms. Yeah, you know, and when
- 3:56Speaker 3: they were in the team meeting rooms. But it set
- 3:58Speaker 3: the tone for everybody else. If he's going to talk
- 4:00Speaker 3: to Tom Brady and to hold him accountable, what's he
- 4:02Speaker 3: gonna do to me?
- 4:03Speaker 2: True?
- 4:03Speaker 3: And you know, and that set the tone for everyone else.
- 4:06Speaker 2: You mentioned Brian Greasy, and of course he won a
- 4:08Speaker 2: championship at Michigan, but Greasy was a quarterback for the
- 4:12Speaker 2: Broncos September tenth, two thousand and one, when they beat
- 4:17Speaker 2: the hell out of my New York Giants. Kerry Collins,
- 4:20Speaker 2: he had gone to the Super Bowl the year before,
- 4:22Speaker 2: got blown out by Baltimore. But the NFL rewarded my
- 4:24Speaker 2: Giants with the opening game Monday Night Football. And Jim Bossel,
- 4:29Speaker 2: my late brand the great coach, hes to tell me
- 4:31Speaker 2: this story I played here every year that when the
- 4:33Speaker 2: Giants pulled in from Denver when Brian Greesy beat them
- 4:36Speaker 2: the night before at Newark Airport, that is, they were
- 4:40Speaker 2: taxiing towards their gate, the plane that would eventually crash
- 4:45Speaker 2: in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was making their way towards a runway.
- 4:50Speaker 2: How eerie is that? J.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Phelly, Yeah, that was my rookie year. And you know,
- 4:54Speaker 3: obviously I'll never forget that. I never forget where I
- 4:57Speaker 3: was standing when we found out when we saw what happened,
- 5:01Speaker 3: and then they canceled the games that week, and then
- 5:04Speaker 3: we went out and played the next week. I was
- 5:06Speaker 3: wearing an Adidas shoe, and you think about the three
- 5:08Speaker 3: white stripes of Adidas, right, and I painted them red,
- 5:11Speaker 3: white and blue. For that next game. We were actually
- 5:14Speaker 3: ironically out here in Arizona playing that next game. I
- 5:16Speaker 3: was playing for the Falcons and I painted my shoe
- 5:20Speaker 3: for that game. We played that game, I never I
- 5:22Speaker 3: never did it again. I have it in my office
- 5:24Speaker 3: when I do interviews and you see me in the background,
- 5:27Speaker 3: that shoe is still sitting up there in my office.
- 5:29Speaker 3: It was the only game I wore it in a red,
- 5:32Speaker 3: white and blue A me just like you always say, like,
- 5:35Speaker 3: never forget. You're talking about the Tunnel for Towers, and
- 5:37Speaker 3: I love that organization. I do a lot of their events,
- 5:40Speaker 3: and we can't. We can't ever forget what happened.
- 5:42Speaker 2: We forgot fortunate, but we did.
- 5:43Speaker 3: We forgot in New York. You forgot it exactly. You're
- 5:47Speaker 3: implementing and advocating for exactly the opposite things the things
- 5:50Speaker 3: that they that they were fighting for, those people that
- 5:54Speaker 3: that destroyed nine to eleven. And now you have socialist
- 5:57Speaker 3: in office there in New York that are advocating for
- 5:59Speaker 3: those very things, for the destruction of the American empire.
- 6:01Speaker 2: You just nail the jay we did forget. You can
- 6:04Speaker 2: never wear those sneakers anymore because Rogic Goodell won't allow it.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I'm happy to let you do that. Back in two
- 6:09Speaker 2: thousand and one, the league has changed quite a bit.
- 6:11Speaker 2: The woke NFL I still love the NFL. I watch
- 6:13Speaker 2: every second of the Giants in every game, but they've
- 6:16Speaker 2: changed quite a bit. But you're right, we forgot here
- 6:19Speaker 2: and that's why you winning in Arizona is so important
- 6:23Speaker 2: for America, for President Trump, for the future of my party,
- 6:28Speaker 2: the Republican Party, Young, Strong, Smart, You're the guy, and
- 6:34Speaker 2: I don't know where you are today in terms of
- 6:36Speaker 2: what the numbers look like, how positive you all eating
- 6:40Speaker 2: up to this race in November. Getting endorsement from Trump
- 6:42Speaker 2: certainly helps, But what does it look like this morning
- 6:46Speaker 2: in your race?
- 6:47Speaker 3: Jay, Yeah, this is going to be one of the
- 6:49Speaker 3: most important swing seats in the entire country. There's going
- 6:51Speaker 3: to be three to five seats that are going to
- 6:53Speaker 3: determine who wins the House and who controls the House.
- 6:56Speaker 3: And we know exactly what happens if the Democrats win
- 6:59Speaker 3: and roll the House. They're going to impeach President Trump
- 7:01Speaker 3: right away. The four people that are running in the
- 7:04Speaker 3: primary for the Democrats in my race have literally said
- 7:09Speaker 3: that that's exactly what they're going to do. The first
- 7:11Speaker 3: thing they want to do is impeach President Trump because
- 7:13Speaker 3: they don't want him to be able to accomplish anything
- 7:15Speaker 3: that he was doing and that he's been able to
- 7:20Speaker 3: succeed in doing this first year and a half or
- 7:22Speaker 3: so in his term, and they're going to try to
- 7:25Speaker 3: make sure that he's not able to do that going forward,
- 7:29Speaker 3: and they want to impeach him. And you know, for me,
- 7:31Speaker 3: this seat is so important. It's a Republican seat, it's
- 7:35Speaker 3: an R plus one seat, and they're going to make
- 7:39Speaker 3: sure that they spend as much as possible to try
- 7:41Speaker 3: and buy it. So they're going to spend, say, thirty
- 7:42Speaker 3: million dollars on this seat alone. It will be the
- 7:44Speaker 3: most expensive congressional seat in the country. It's one of
- 7:47Speaker 3: the reasons I wanted to run was to make sure
- 7:49Speaker 3: that we keep this seat and we keep the House,
- 7:51Speaker 3: and we're able to continue to fight against this socialist movement,
- 7:54Speaker 3: because that's what now I think the American people are
- 7:56Speaker 3: going to see that you have two choices. You have
- 7:59Speaker 3: one choice of theal that wants America to win, and
- 8:02Speaker 3: you have one choice of the irrational that is embracing
- 8:05Speaker 3: socialism and that wants America to lose. And you can
- 8:08Speaker 3: look exactly at your governor. You know, Kathy Hochel and
- 8:10Speaker 3: what she just did. She just did a one year
- 8:13Speaker 3: moretorium on data storage centers, and even Chuck Schumer there
- 8:17Speaker 3: in New York in the last year has talked about
- 8:19Speaker 3: how important it is that we win the AI race
- 8:22Speaker 3: against China, because either China wins or we win, and
- 8:26Speaker 3: whoever wins that AI race is going to control the
- 8:28Speaker 3: world's economy for the next generation, going to control the
- 8:31Speaker 3: world's security for the next generation. And by doing what
- 8:35Speaker 3: your governor just did. And if we do that across
- 8:38Speaker 3: the country and we continue to resist and push back
- 8:42Speaker 3: and have moratoriums on data storage centers, that is where
- 8:45Speaker 3: the compute ability is. That's what runs all of your AI,
- 8:48Speaker 3: all of our phones, all of our Internet searches, all
- 8:50Speaker 3: the TikTok and the kids like to use. It's derived
- 8:53Speaker 3: from that that data storage centers, that computability, and all
- 8:56Speaker 3: it does is help China. And that's what we need
- 8:59Speaker 3: to fight against.
- 8:59Speaker 2: We need Bruce Blateman to win. He's running for governor
- 9:02Speaker 2: in the state against that. Dreddit. Kathy Hokel my son, Gabriel,
- 9:05Speaker 2: my only son, is actually working for Bruce. Today's day
- 9:08Speaker 2: three for Gabriel. So you're right about Kathy and Mom,
- 9:11Speaker 2: Donnie and all the leaders here and it is spreading
- 9:14Speaker 2: like wildfire. People keep telling me, oh, Sid, the numbers
- 9:16Speaker 2: aren't big enough yet. I asked Mark Levin, the great one,
- 9:19Speaker 2: he was on this show last hour. I said, am
- 9:21Speaker 2: I being crazy because I'm actually nervous? He said, no, Sid,
- 9:26Speaker 2: You're one hundred percent right. Forget about moderate Democrats. They
- 9:29Speaker 2: don't exist anymore. There's no such thing. There are no
- 9:32Speaker 2: right that's over. So like, for example, President Trump said
- 9:36Speaker 2: j Bally, this guy is not going to push the
- 9:39Speaker 2: Save America Act. He said that what normal person? All
- 9:43Speaker 2: these Democrats. You couldn't go to Chicago a couple of
- 9:46Speaker 2: years ago, Jay and walk into that convention to see
- 9:49Speaker 2: that decrepit cadaver Joe Biden without a piece of ID.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer can't go to the library in New York
- 9:55Speaker 2: City without showing ID. You can't go anywhere without showing ID.
- 9:59Speaker 2: But they don't want to save America. Can you explain
- 10:02Speaker 2: that to me?
- 10:03Speaker 3: No, you can't explain it. And it was amazing when
- 10:05Speaker 3: I heard a couple of Democrats say, it'll be very
- 10:08Speaker 3: clearly said, it'll be very hard for any Democrat to
- 10:12Speaker 3: win an election if they passed the Save America Act. Now,
- 10:15Speaker 3: why is that? Why is it that that would make
- 10:17Speaker 3: it hard? All you're trying to do is say that
- 10:20Speaker 3: only Americans should be voting in our elections, and one person,
- 10:24Speaker 3: one vote, and the people that are registered just making
- 10:26Speaker 3: sure that it is that person. Why would that keep
- 10:29Speaker 3: Democrats from winning elections. It's ridiculous and it's an eighty
- 10:33Speaker 3: percent issue. It's something I've been really disappointed about the Senate,
- 10:36Speaker 3: the Republican controlled Senate, that they haven't pushed that forward
- 10:39Speaker 3: and got it enacted so that we can make sure
- 10:42Speaker 3: that going into this election in November, that only Americans
- 10:45Speaker 3: are voting. That's only people who should vote in our elections.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Bottom line, Jape. For people that want to help you out,
- 10:50Speaker 2: who Giant bans, jet bans, Michigan bans, and even people
- 10:54Speaker 2: like Kyrie Lake listening from Arizona right now, how can
- 10:57Speaker 2: they help out the j Baily campaign?
- 11:00Speaker 3: The best thing you do go to jpelyfcongress dot com
- 11:03Speaker 3: and you can go on there, you can donate to us.
- 11:04Speaker 3: We have to continue to raise as much as we
- 11:07Speaker 3: can because they're going to try to just buy this
- 11:08Speaker 3: seat and then you can get involved. You know, people
- 11:11Speaker 3: are coming out. We have volunteers every day, said, we've
- 11:13Speaker 3: done in July alone, We've knocked on like ten thousand
- 11:16Speaker 3: doors out here and made like eighty thousand calls. Wow,
- 11:18Speaker 3: you know, and that's what you have to do. You
- 11:20Speaker 3: have to make sure that the Democrats don't outwork you,
- 11:23Speaker 3: that they don't outspend you, because we have the right
- 11:25Speaker 3: ideas and we need to be able to communicate those
- 11:27Speaker 3: ideas and a lot of times as Republicans we don't
- 11:29Speaker 3: have the right messengers. Hopefully I can be one of
- 11:31Speaker 3: those messengers that that cares about people, that wants to
- 11:34Speaker 3: create eqal opportunity, but that's going to stand up for
- 11:37Speaker 3: the things that made America great.
- 11:38Speaker 2: You are that guy. You're a super super super guy,
- 11:41Speaker 2: a great American And what a great choice Arizona is, lucky.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Don't f this up, Arizona. Make sure you're listening to
- 11:49Speaker 2: Trump and sid and make sure that Japeely wins. And no, remember,
- 11:52Speaker 2: we'll bring you on a whole bunch of times before
- 11:54Speaker 2: that election.
- 11:55Speaker 3: I appreciate it, buddy.
- 11:55Speaker 2: No, of course, man, you two go out there and
- 11:58Speaker 2: I'm sure you're playing gold for something fun today, So
- 12:00Speaker 2: how do you sell them out? No?
- 12:01Speaker 3: No, no, No, it's all it's all election time. It's
- 12:03Speaker 3: all meet and people.
- 12:04Speaker 2: That's it.
- 12:06Speaker 3: That's all I'm doing.
- 12:06Speaker 2: What are you talking about, Brian, our locker is waiting
- 12:09Speaker 2: on the fourth TPU right now.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Rolly wants to play like but we
- 12:14Speaker 3: got to make sure there's there's the most important thing
- 12:16Speaker 3: is making sure that we keep this house and continue
- 12:19Speaker 3: to make this country great.
- 12:20Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Jay, You're great, You're will y'all. We'll
- 12:22Speaker 2: talk again very very soon, Buddy, great job here today.
