Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The Petrie, of course, has become a friend of mine
- 0:01Speaker 1: over the years, and I'm enthusiastically endorsing Mike District three,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Long Island for Congress. Michael. Good morning Hawaii, pal.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Good morning sunshine, young and handsome. I like that. Welcome
- 0:13Speaker 2: back to America. How was Israel?
- 0:14Speaker 3: It was beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful? Tel Aviv? It's one
- 0:18Speaker 3: of my favorite spots.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Amazing.
- 0:19Speaker 1: It was only one day there. I spent a week
- 0:21Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. Yes, but I tell all the Jew haters
- 0:24Speaker 1: a lot of them was surrounded by.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Him stupid especially now.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Yeah, just go go for a week, learn something. Stop
- 0:31Speaker 1: listening to JD. Bans and other people on TV and
- 0:35Speaker 1: Tucker and all these people. Go there one week, and
- 0:39Speaker 1: I promise you you'll come back. You won't sound nearly
- 0:43Speaker 1: as hateful and stupid, and you'll realize that BB does
- 0:47Speaker 1: a great job protecting a place about the size of
- 0:50Speaker 1: Jersey that the whole world at this point wants to destroy. Yeah.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I mean the place is absolutely gorgeous. I was there
- 0:57Speaker 3: for the World Summer for counter terrorism in Israel. Hurtz Lee, Jerusalem,
- 1:01Speaker 3: Tel Aviv, beautiful spots. I mean, it's truly a Cord
- 1:04Speaker 3: great spots.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So last time I spoke to you, I was at
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. I was walking in. That was the night
- 1:09Speaker 1: where Jalen Brunson and Josh haw throughout the first pitch.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Was a day before I went to Jerusalem. I also
- 1:14Speaker 1: saw you talking about Israel. Got the Israeli Day Parade
- 1:17Speaker 1: in New York City. He did a nice video. So
- 1:20Speaker 1: here you are. We're getting closer to this big election.
- 1:24Speaker 1: You ran a great waste last time, you lost by
- 1:27Speaker 1: just three points, fifty one to forty eight. What makes
- 1:30Speaker 1: you confident? But this time he'll make up those three points.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Well, see if you remember, we came within just a
- 1:36Speaker 3: small percentage points despite having a short runway, being underfunded
- 1:41Speaker 3: to be over delivered. So now we're one of the
- 1:42Speaker 3: top target seats in the nation. Right here in New
- 1:45Speaker 3: York three, right on Long Island, Northeast Queens. Those are
- 1:48Speaker 3: the top districts that people are excited about. They're looking
- 1:52Speaker 3: forward to the next generation common sense Republican. And most
- 1:56Speaker 3: and more pointedly is you're looking at us as is
- 2:00Speaker 3: the contrast to what you're seeing from the Democrat Party.
- 2:03Speaker 3: June twenty third primary day, we crushed it with over
- 2:07Speaker 3: eighty two percent of the vote, despite having our opponent
- 2:10Speaker 3: spend over a million dollars against US Democrats conversely, had
- 2:15Speaker 3: radical socialists now win in New York City. So the
- 2:18Speaker 3: question is who do you want the next generation to be.
- 2:20Speaker 3: You want it where it's focusing on protecting our country,
- 2:22Speaker 3: the land of the free, the home of the brave,
- 2:24Speaker 3: standing up for veterans, American citizens still have illegal aliens,
- 2:28Speaker 3: or the socialists who want to take from you, defund
- 2:31Speaker 3: the police, and ultimately espouse socialism across our country.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I think the choice is obvious here.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I think it is too. And Mike, the one thing
- 2:37Speaker 1: I've learned about Swazi is he's a pretty smooth guy
- 2:40Speaker 1: and he's a nice guy. I know, Tom, he's a
- 2:42Speaker 1: nice guy. But I'm not talking about the politician. Okay,
- 2:44Speaker 1: the politician when he's campaigning, makes everybody feel like he's
- 2:50Speaker 1: on their team, Like he almost runs as a Republican,
- 2:53Speaker 1: although against you, Mazi Pilloup in the past, he almost
- 2:56Speaker 1: runs as a Republican. Then he wins, and then you
- 3:00Speaker 1: see what a dangerous Democrat he really is. But he's
- 3:04Speaker 1: smooth in that while he's running you think he's a
- 3:07Speaker 1: common sense guy. When it comes down to business, he's
- 3:10Speaker 1: really not right.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Well, it's a Democrat playbook.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I mean, they'll say exactly what you want to hear,
- 3:15Speaker 3: and then, as you said, two face Tom votes behind
- 3:18Speaker 3: your back.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's the truth because you see
- 3:21Speaker 2: it firsthand.
- 3:22Speaker 3: When when Republicans put keeping boys out of girls sports,
- 3:25Speaker 3: he votes no, right when he puts when Republicans push
- 3:28Speaker 3: voter ID, he votes no. When Republicans push tax cuts,
- 3:31Speaker 3: he votes no the only and in the meantime, all
- 3:35Speaker 3: this time, Tom Swaze's making ten million dollars trading stocks
- 3:38Speaker 3: while in Congress. So he says one thing and then
- 3:41Speaker 3: does another. That's just who Tom is. But that's the
- 3:43Speaker 3: two face side of him. That's a Democrat way is
- 3:46Speaker 3: get everybody to like them. Look at Mom, donn He
- 3:48Speaker 3: did the same thing, says everything you want to hear,
- 3:51Speaker 3: and then when it comes time to get into office.
- 3:53Speaker 2: He screws you.
- 3:54Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, what do you
- 3:56Speaker 3: want If you vote for my Democrat opponent, then you
- 3:58Speaker 3: are empowering the Socialists in New York City because they
- 4:02Speaker 3: rule the Democratic Conference.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And that's not what we want to see.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Why does Nassau County Michael Petrie do so. Well. What
- 4:10Speaker 1: I mean is it's mostly Democrat. In fact, some of
- 4:14Speaker 1: these cities, towns, I should say, not even close, not
- 4:18Speaker 1: even close. Yet. You guys win, right. I know that
- 4:22Speaker 1: Anthiy Deesposito lost last time around, but hopefully our new
- 4:26Speaker 1: friend is gonna win this time. Driscoll, you ran a
- 4:29Speaker 1: very great race against Tom Swazi. Lolota wins, Garborno wins.
- 4:33Speaker 1: And I know a lot of it has to do
- 4:35Speaker 1: with the machine that is run by Joe Cairo, Peter King.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Those guys are irreplaceable, They're amazing. Well, why do you
- 4:42Speaker 1: think overwrought by Democrats? You guys have success in Nassau County.
- 4:48Speaker 3: It's common sense, baby, that's what we espouse. I mean,
- 4:51Speaker 3: I have the support, especially now I spoke with President Trump.
- 4:55Speaker 2: He's all in on this seat. He's excited for us.
- 4:58Speaker 3: He realizes what we did in two years ago without
- 5:00Speaker 3: any of his support, So now he's all in.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Actually that firsthand. When I went a couple of weeks
- 5:05Speaker 1: ago to Mike Lawler's big rally up in Rockland County,
- 5:09Speaker 1: you were sitting in the front row with Blakeman, Lawler,
- 5:12Speaker 1: lut Nick, all those guys. Yeah, and President Trump pointed
- 5:14Speaker 1: you out.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, President Trump, he knows what's at stake. I mean,
- 5:17Speaker 3: the House majority is the fate. And frankly, on Long
- 5:20Speaker 3: Island specifically, we have people that are just looking to
- 5:24Speaker 3: raise families, work hard, play by the rules, make a living,
- 5:28Speaker 3: and live a great life. And they know that Republicans
- 5:31Speaker 3: are the ones to help guide them in those principles
- 5:34Speaker 3: to make their lives better. And we just stand up
- 5:36Speaker 3: for the easy stuff. So ultimately, that's.
- 5:38Speaker 2: What we've been doing. We've made it clear as day.
- 5:39Speaker 3: We provided a great contrast, given the people someone to
- 5:42Speaker 3: vote for instead of voting against, and ultimately people keep
- 5:45Speaker 3: voting for us.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Trump has been great to you. And also the Vice
- 5:48Speaker 1: president JD.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Bantz, Right, vice President came to the district just two
- 5:51Speaker 3: weeks ago.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, that's right, that's right. That was great.
- 5:56Speaker 3: And in a matter of just hearing when you hear
- 5:58Speaker 3: from the President, when you hear from the vice president,
- 6:00Speaker 3: you talk to them personally and they recognize not only
- 6:03Speaker 3: how who we are as the candidate, but also how
- 6:07Speaker 3: this district is built and comprised of and how close
- 6:10Speaker 3: we came. When you realize that the team is all
- 6:13Speaker 3: in with not only the president, vice president, and I
- 6:16Speaker 3: get the great Sid Rosenberg.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Get ready, baby, that's big.
- 6:19Speaker 1: That's big. That's big, because don't forget those guys are
- 6:22Speaker 1: in DC, They're in marro A Lago. I'm the guy
- 6:25Speaker 1: in New York. Right, I'm doing You're fighting for you.
- 6:28Speaker 1: What is the biggest And I love this so I'm
- 6:30Speaker 1: happy to do it.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Thanks.
- 6:31Speaker 1: What is the biggest?
- 6:33Speaker 2: Uh?
- 6:33Speaker 1: I guess policy difference between you and Swazi the biggest
- 6:38Speaker 1: one because I know that taxes still remained an issue. Obviously, crime,
- 6:43Speaker 1: thank god, is not terrible. It's actually good because you've
- 6:46Speaker 1: got the best police commissioner around. He's amazing, pat Vider.
- 6:50Speaker 1: You've got people who actually respect the law, like and Donnelly.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So law and order on National County is as good
- 6:55Speaker 1: as it gets. What is the biggest policy difference for us?
- 6:59Speaker 3: It's affordability. It comes down to I'm the only one
- 7:01Speaker 3: that has skinning the game in this race. I'm the
- 7:03Speaker 3: next generation. I'm thirty six years old, I'm engaged thirty.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Six, yet be thirty six to tenth. I do my
- 7:10Speaker 1: home pretty good? Right?
- 7:12Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 7:12Speaker 1: You pretty good? Good?
- 7:13Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Well, give me give me an early
- 7:16Speaker 2: happy birthday.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I also know the mestrous loss to the Billies. And
- 7:21Speaker 1: God rest his soul, your grandfather. Yeah, he actually pitched
- 7:25Speaker 1: for the Phillies in the nineteen fifties.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
- 7:27Speaker 3: About that room with Satchel Page was amazing experience, my
- 7:31Speaker 3: late grandfather.
- 7:32Speaker 2: God rest his soul. He been, he was.
- 7:34Speaker 3: He was a Democrat that said I'd be the Republican
- 7:37Speaker 3: that he'd vote for. That's what that for sure, all right? Yeah,
- 7:40Speaker 3: Michael Angelo.
- 7:41Speaker 2: The Petrie was what a great name, great name.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Man. I'm honored to be his grandson and following his
- 7:46Speaker 3: footsteps and lee make him proud for what he's looking
- 7:49Speaker 3: do and he's looking down on us.
- 7:50Speaker 2: God bless him.
- 7:51Speaker 1: So the affordability crisis is it a big one.
- 7:53Speaker 3: So it's affordability. It's about the next generation. It's keeping
- 7:56Speaker 3: the next generation on Long Island. It's raising families, buying homes.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It's a matter of finding it's creating jobs. What I
- 8:02Speaker 3: want to do instead of finding jobs. My opponent voted
- 8:05Speaker 3: not only as county executive raised taxes by two hundred
- 8:08Speaker 3: million dollars, but he voted for the largest tax increase
- 8:10Speaker 3: in history since World War Two. He's also after Montdney
- 8:14Speaker 3: got elected, he called to raise our taxes on the
- 8:16Speaker 3: federal level even higher. So and meanwhile he's made ten
- 8:20Speaker 3: million dollars trading stocks while in Congress. So you have
- 8:23Speaker 3: you have him, or you have Micha Lapetrie, the former
- 8:25Speaker 3: state assemblyman attorney who voted for tax cuts, who actually has.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Get in the game.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I'm renting right now, looking to buy a home, looking
- 8:33Speaker 3: to raise a family. I'm looking to get married. I
- 8:35Speaker 3: have all the qualities that understand what we need in
- 8:38Speaker 3: life to help the next generation stay and thrive on
- 8:41Speaker 3: Long Island.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Over in Farmingdale, Yeah, farmingdelle Board baby.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I used to go to the Salty Dog in Farmingdale
- 8:46Speaker 1: years ago. Do you have a girlfriend fiance? I'm looking
- 8:51Speaker 1: to get married.
- 8:51Speaker 3: That's it. They We're looking to do that next year.
- 8:54Speaker 3: And I'm excited for what's ahead of us. But first
- 8:56Speaker 3: we got to win this November and make sure we
- 8:58Speaker 3: have a next generation millennial that's going to be in
- 9:01Speaker 3: there to combat and contrast with the psychos and from
- 9:05Speaker 3: the left that's taking over now.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Question so many important people will wrap this up on
- 9:09Speaker 1: Long Island. I need to win, need you to win.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I need Drisco to win, and for the state's sake,
- 9:14Speaker 1: state sake, we need Bruce Blakeman to Bruce Blakeman.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Is key that he's going to be the top of
- 9:18Speaker 3: the ticket for US. He's right now leading in our
- 9:20Speaker 3: district by nine points.
- 9:22Speaker 2: In this area.
- 9:22Speaker 3: With US versus SWAZI, we're head to head. This is
- 9:25Speaker 3: the race to watch. The road to the majority runs
- 9:27Speaker 3: through New York three. People can look find me, follow
