- 0:00Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time, leaving
- 0:04Speaker 1: you waiting to be seen by a doctor at Level Health.
- 0:07Speaker 1: We're fed up with all the waiting around. It's about
- 0:09Speaker 1: time you had twenty four to seven instant access to doctors.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Level Health. It's about time twenty four to seven instant
- 0:16Speaker 1: access to doctors included on plans A to WEE insurance
- 0:19Speaker 1: provided by Aviva Insurance Ireland Dark Level Health Ireland Limited,
- 0:22Speaker 1: trading as Level Health, is regulated by the Central Bank
- 0:24Speaker 1: of Ireland.
- 0:25Speaker 2: On the line with us right now is my former congressman.
- 0:28Speaker 2: You were briefly my congressman before all the redistricting, Peter King, Congressman.
- 0:35Speaker 2: We've been talking a lot about the socialist takeover of
- 0:39Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. This is no longer the old Democrat Party.
- 0:41Speaker 2: And Jude Weinberg came out with that incredible stat only
- 0:44Speaker 2: what twenty percent or something like that, twenty nine percent
- 0:47Speaker 2: of Democrats now say they love this country and that's
- 0:50Speaker 2: relatively new because twenty four years ago, twenty five years ago,
- 0:53Speaker 2: it was eighty percent. How again, listen, how many of
- 0:58Speaker 2: the actual voters do you think realize that this is
- 1:02Speaker 2: no longer the old right and left anymore that the
- 1:04Speaker 2: Democratic Party now has just moved so far to the left.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if the voters get it.
- 1:09Speaker 2: We get it, but I don't know if they see
- 1:10Speaker 2: it yet. When will they see it?
- 1:13Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Drake, thanks for the intro, and
- 1:15Speaker 3: I hope you voted for me when you lived in
- 1:17Speaker 3: my district. But that's that's that's yeah, early off and right. Yes,
- 1:24Speaker 3: I agree totally with Judge Weinberg on this. The Democratic Party.
- 1:29Speaker 3: It's it was slowly building up this anti American feeling
- 1:33Speaker 3: and then it's just even explode all of a sudden. Uh,
- 1:36Speaker 3: It's dramatic. I mean, whoever thought the party of Joe
- 1:38Speaker 3: Leaving and Edcotts, John Kennedy, you carrying down the list
- 1:43Speaker 3: of Democratics from Bill Clinton who would have been part
- 1:47Speaker 3: of this whole movement which is anti American. And also,
- 1:51Speaker 3: I think Judge and I have discussed this several times,
- 1:54Speaker 3: anti Israel in many ways is a cover for being
- 1:57Speaker 3: anti American because Israel stands so many of the same
- 2:00Speaker 3: values that we do. Strong defense, anti communists, anti left wing,
- 2:07Speaker 3: free enterprise, freedom of religion, all of these principles, and
- 2:11Speaker 3: also being the only democracy in the Middle East. So
- 2:13Speaker 3: their target, and that to me is everyone you see
- 2:18Speaker 3: who is out there in those anti quote unquote Zionist rallies,
- 2:22Speaker 3: the Prohomas rallies are also anti American, so we have
- 2:26Speaker 3: to keep that in mind as we go forward. But
- 2:27Speaker 3: I was happening in a Democratic party. I don't think
- 2:29Speaker 3: the average Now you talk to the average say Democrat
- 2:33Speaker 3: in their fifties and sixties, who grew up and they
- 2:35Speaker 3: come from and that think family in New York. Their
- 2:38Speaker 3: parents and grandparents were Democrats, and sometimes they voted Democrats,
- 2:41Speaker 3: sometimes they voted Republican, but they thought both parties were
- 2:44Speaker 3: basically either slightly central left or center right, but basically
- 2:49Speaker 3: within the American mainstream. I think they would be shocked,
- 2:51Speaker 3: and I just wish we can get that message out
- 2:53Speaker 3: of them. It's how far left they have gone, anti
- 2:56Speaker 3: cop and anti military, anti basically American values and American traditions.
- 3:04Speaker 3: And listen, during the worst days you could have had
- 3:06Speaker 3: Joe Biden, you're gonna build the Blasio, You're gonna have
- 3:08Speaker 3: anyone in office. And I would never say I'm not
- 3:11Speaker 3: proud of my country. I mean, the United States stands
- 3:13Speaker 3: above all exceeds in selected officials, and I was Peters
- 3:18Speaker 3: want to stand for. So I can never ever say
- 3:21Speaker 3: that I'm not one hundred percent of American Peter.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Don't agree with him too strongly.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Now, we don't want to pump.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Him up too much.
- 3:29Speaker 5: He's a Democrat, don't forget That's You're right, graduate, maybe
- 3:36Speaker 5: a enemy among us.
- 3:37Speaker 3: That's probably yeah about the party. He is the party.
- 3:41Speaker 6: I am the party now, Peter, as you and I
- 3:44Speaker 6: have talked about, you know, I'm I'm the last David Passon,
- 3:48Speaker 6: not the last of the living moderate sense Democrats. You
- 3:52Speaker 6: know the old line that Reagan had, which was I
- 3:55Speaker 6: didn't leave my party, My party left me. Just imagine
- 3:59Speaker 6: what he was re sponning too, is compared to what's
- 4:01Speaker 6: really happening today.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Peter, Yeah, I mean that in the days of Reagan,
- 4:06Speaker 3: the Democratic Party, the extension went left. It was left
- 4:09Speaker 3: within the American spectrum. It was still fighting for America,
- 4:13Speaker 3: just had a different way of doing it sometimes, but
- 4:15Speaker 3: there was never an anti American feeling. Now, during Vietnam
- 4:18Speaker 3: you saw some of the plague burners in all left,
- 4:20Speaker 3: but they were fringe. They were off way overrun the left.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Now that fringe just taking up the Democratic Party.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Isn't it true that the mayor and most of the
- 4:31Speaker 4: Democratic Party are big Mets fans, not Yankee fans.
- 4:34Speaker 3: So let's not get into that.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Uh, Congressman King the you know you were talking about
- 4:44Speaker 2: how the anti Israel stuff is really Yes, it's absolutely
- 4:47Speaker 2: a testing ground. They try that out first when they're
- 4:49Speaker 2: really anti American and we're asking ourselves and how do
- 4:52Speaker 2: they get away with it? And the answer, I think
- 4:54Speaker 2: one of the answers is they go to these old
- 4:56Speaker 2: school Democrats and they just portray themselves as being an
- 4:59Speaker 2: anti Trump party, And sadly, a lot of those old
- 5:02Speaker 2: school Democrats are down with that. They're fine with that,
- 5:05Speaker 2: and then it helps to shield everything else. So, just
- 5:08Speaker 2: like the anti Israel stuff shields their anti Americanism, they
- 5:11Speaker 2: come out with an anti Trump message and suddenly a
- 5:14Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats who would if they heard anything else
- 5:16Speaker 2: on their platform, would be shocked, knee jerksal vote for them.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean, that's how mom, Donnie won I think a
- 5:23Speaker 2: lot of what.
- 5:23Speaker 6: About to support for Peter? What about to support for
- 5:26Speaker 6: this character in Maine Platinum running against the great United
- 5:30Speaker 6: States Senator Common Sense bipartisan senator, a leader of the
- 5:34Speaker 6: Senate who you know well, Susan Collins. How do you
- 5:37Speaker 6: support a guy like Platner who has everything against him
- 5:40Speaker 6: and yet all the Democrats are rallying behind him.
- 5:44Speaker 3: You mentioned Susan Collins, My dealings with her when I
- 5:47Speaker 3: was chairing with the Homeland Security Committee, she and joe
- 5:49Speaker 3: Leabaman riding the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Why the pleasure
- 5:52Speaker 3: I was to work with them and two of them
- 5:54Speaker 3: Democrat Republicans standing for homeland security. They were great, totally
- 5:58Speaker 3: totally pro American. Slightly different views on different issues, but
- 6:01Speaker 3: overall totally pro America. Would accept him, Yes.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Tell him the story about your sidekicker from the Democratic
- 6:11Speaker 4: Party when he used to leave the intelligence meeting and
- 6:15Speaker 4: the Homeland security meeting.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Now the United States senator from California, you're talking about
- 6:20Speaker 3: Adam Schiff. Yes, you know, you take it into what's
- 6:23Speaker 3: discussed the intelligence great. Having said that, there's one example
- 6:27Speaker 3: he's been out there now he would hear something and
- 6:30Speaker 3: take it out of context and go up and next
- 6:32Speaker 3: thing you know, it's on CNN, thes be top secret.
- 6:34Speaker 3: The example I always uses, Hope Picks. It was the
- 6:37Speaker 3: top age to President Trump before he was president, and
- 6:40Speaker 3: she's there and there's like three hours of testifying testimony
- 6:44Speaker 3: when they were trying to show the connection with Russia,
- 6:47Speaker 3: which was total fraud, and so Adam Shift being very
- 6:51Speaker 3: Actually that was Swowell asked the question, I think and
- 6:54Speaker 3: Schiff was the one who leaked it. Swowell says, Top
- 6:57Speaker 3: picks his President Trump ever told you to lie? Now,
- 7:01Speaker 3: I give hope it's credit. She younew where they were
- 7:03Speaker 3: coming from, and she said, well, only if you want
- 7:05Speaker 3: to call it like a white lie, like if he
- 7:07Speaker 3: if somebody calls, he'd want to talk to you, say
- 7:10Speaker 3: tell him I'll call him back later. And that was it,
- 7:12Speaker 3: she said. But other than that, nothing ever important, nothing
- 7:15Speaker 3: ever that affected anybody. Next thing, you know, CNN is
- 7:19Speaker 3: reporting Trump a top Trump eight admits she told a
- 7:23Speaker 3: liar the oath. It was a bad story on CNN.
- 7:29Speaker 3: And the thing is we're we're not around of state,
- 7:31Speaker 3: and this does anything. We're hear in the Intelligence Committee
- 7:33Speaker 3: and he within fifteen minutes, it's all over national television.
- 7:36Speaker 3: So I remember that was Swolbow asking the question, and
- 7:38Speaker 3: Shiff was the guy that was talking about it, and
- 7:41Speaker 3: between the two of them and others on that committee.
- 7:43Speaker 3: That was again they were It's one thing if they
- 7:46Speaker 3: really thought there was something serious to those allegations, but
- 7:48Speaker 3: that was just an attempt to bring down the president
- 7:51Speaker 3: of the United States. And that's that was they told
- 7:53Speaker 3: me about a coup. That was the real first attempt
- 7:56Speaker 3: at coop here in the United States. It was when Democrats,
- 7:58Speaker 3: prominent Democrats and also people like Jim call Me and
- 8:01Speaker 3: John Brennan and others in that foreign policy intelligence establishment
- 8:05Speaker 3: knew what they were saying was totally untrue. I listened
- 8:09Speaker 3: what they was. Russia involved in the election. They were
- 8:12Speaker 3: involved in every election. It didn't matter, no impact at
- 8:14Speaker 3: all that Trump people were not dealing with Russia. In fact,
- 8:17Speaker 3: one example I always used is right after the election,
- 8:20Speaker 3: the big explsa in the New York Times was that
- 8:22Speaker 3: Russia was making phone calls into Trump Tower. Yeah, they
- 8:25Speaker 3: were because they know who to deal with. The election
- 8:27Speaker 3: was over. They had no contact with the Trump team,
- 8:31Speaker 3: so they were actually calling into Trump Tower to see
- 8:34Speaker 3: who do we deal with in the Russian administration and administration,
- 8:38Speaker 3: and so that to me that proved there was no connection. Instead,
- 8:41Speaker 3: they try to show listen if Russia is trying to
- 8:44Speaker 3: do espionage. They're not going to call it trumb Tower
- 8:46Speaker 3: and try and say who do we talk to with
- 8:48Speaker 3: the administration. I mean, that just showed again how miss
- 8:51Speaker 3: weeding at all was and a national media went along
- 8:54Speaker 3: with it, and it was really a disgrace the way
- 8:55Speaker 3: that was carried out. But also getting back George w again,
- 9:00Speaker 3: you're talking about people in the Democratic Party, how they've
- 9:04Speaker 3: gone off, and I again, I think that puts more
- 9:06Speaker 3: of a burden on us, those of us who are
- 9:09Speaker 3: been probably going off conservative or certainly love America. We
- 9:13Speaker 3: have to be careful in how we get our message
- 9:15Speaker 3: out there. So we can't give them. We can't give
- 9:18Speaker 3: you opposition things they can use and distort against us.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Now they're going to do it anyway, but we shouldn't
- 9:23Speaker 3: give them the ammunition to use against us. We have
- 9:26Speaker 3: an extra burden to live up to.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Peter King, I don't know if you're going to
- 9:29Speaker 2: laugh or cry, but you just talked about the Russia collusion.
- 9:32Speaker 5: Oaks.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Here's Barack Obama yesterday talking about how he believes in
- 9:37Speaker 2: the peaceful transfer of power. Listen to this hypocrisy, tush.
- 9:42Speaker 5: A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the
- 9:46Speaker 5: people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that
- 9:50Speaker 5: in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or
- 9:54Speaker 5: faction gets its way one hundred percent of the time.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he convened people in the White House
- 9:59Speaker 2: after the Trump victory, read to push up the Clinton.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Set up right in the Oval Office with Brennan and
- 10:04Speaker 3: the others. And he also was putting out these mysterious things.
- 10:07Speaker 3: I want all records frozen and everything. I want, you know,
- 10:12Speaker 3: all the evidence of collusion. And he knew there was
- 10:14Speaker 3: nothing there. He knew there was nothing there, and I
- 10:16Speaker 3: used to and again this is the frustration in the
- 10:18Speaker 3: way of being on the Intelligence Committee. You listen to
- 10:21Speaker 3: these guys. You listened to Brennan, you listened to Camie,
- 10:23Speaker 3: and you realized there was nothing behind him. But you
- 10:25Speaker 3: couldn't really go out and say that. I mean, I
- 10:28Speaker 3: called me would basically say when we when I saw
- 10:31Speaker 3: what I saw, I couldn't believe it. We had to
- 10:32Speaker 3: do this, we had to do that. And then you more,
- 10:34Speaker 3: you listened to him, there was nothing there. But again
- 10:37Speaker 3: that's not the way the media reported it. And now
- 10:39Speaker 3: that that to me was a dark moment in American history,
- 10:42Speaker 3: and Barack Obama was behind it.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Well, Peter King, thanks so much for joining US congressman
