Peter King | Former Congressman Joins S&FIM for Weekly Wednesday Morning Appearance · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Peter King is on because he's a good man. He's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: actually a great man. And he knows he's smart. He
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: worked with Homeland Security, worked for the better part of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: four decades with Congress. He knows the good guys from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the bad guys, okay? And he knows this is not
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a two-sided story. One side got attacked and continues to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: get attacked every day. Maybe now it's the media or
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the morons, but it's Israel. They're the victims. That's it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Peter King, good morning.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: How are you? Good morning, Sid. It's a sad day, though.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, three years ago today, to show you how
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: wrong I was, I thought if anything positive comes out
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of this, now the whole world will know that Israel
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: is right, Hamas is wrong, Iran is wrong. Instead, within
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: two or three days, the whole thing turned against Israel.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's really shameful, and it's really a commentary on the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: moral state of people in the United States, people around
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the world, certainly those phony Europeans. We can go up
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and down the list here. It's really terrible. I never thought, again,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, you study the Holocaust, you study all of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Jewish persecution over the centuries, and you figure, well, that's
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: all behind us. And now, certainly, after October 7th, nobody
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: would even think of being anti-Semitic again. Instead, that's all
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you hear today. And the fact that we elected a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: mayor who was silent and was calling for global intifada,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: who were silenced during the Columbia takeover. I mean, this
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: is just horrible. So it's a tense state of affairs.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And I think we have to realize who our friends are,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: who aren't, and really stand and fight. There's no time
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: here for conciliation and trying to reason with people. To me,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we've got to take a tough stand. We've got to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: get out there. We've got to get the job done.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Bottom line. And, you know, talking about the mayor, he
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just tweeted, had this conversation moments ago with Trayman and others.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: He tweeted this long tweet about the horrific events of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: October 7th and what a terrible day it was. As
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: if he cares. You said it. His wife liked the images.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: She liked the videos. Girls getting raped. People being murdered.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And when they ask them about it once or twice,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: because the New York media is a bunch of pussies,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: they really are. They're disgraceful. What did he say? Listen,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: she's a private person. No, she's not your moron. She's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the first lady of New York City. She's married to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the mayor. She's a very public person. And then he
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: went on to compliment her how beautiful she is and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: how much he loves her. So he's had opportunity to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: come out in the past and A, A, disagree with
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: his wife, but B, talk about the victims. And then
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: he's got the nerve to tweet something today and he's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: going to a vigil tonight. Is he not the biggest
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: lying scumbag in the history of New York politics?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to me, he is definitely the worst. I can't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: imagine anybody else even coming close to him. And, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: like you talk about his wife. Listen, it's always rough
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: when you get a family member involved. Having said that,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: we're not talking about a disagreement over a tax bill
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: or a transportation bill or whether a subway or a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: tunnel or a bridge rebuilt. This is really life and death.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It's morality and immorality. And to me, at the very least,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you should say, on this issue, I strongly disagree with
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: my wife. But he can't. But he doesn't. That's the reality.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: For once, he's being honest. I mean, really, anyone who
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: can talk in such a casual way about global intifada
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to be silent when Hamas demonstrators were taken over the streets,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to me, that says it all. And it's not, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you can have so many different political disagreements where there's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: honest people on both sides. This isn't one of them.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: This is a clear case of, I mean, if there's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: any genocide, it's what Hamas and Iran and others are
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: trying to do to Israel, you know, to the state
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of Israel.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Glad you mentioned Iran because so many Americans are mad
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: about Iran and Trump's approval rating is in the mid-30s
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and the midterms are in jeopardy, to say the least.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That may be nice because of Iran. Yet again, look
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: back at that day, October the 7th. And what was
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the country? What was the country that funded all those groups?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Hamas and, of course, the morons, those people, because they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: were really supposed to attack Israel the same day. Hamas
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and what's the group in Hezbollah? They screwed it up.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So Hezbollah started the next day, even the Houthis in Yemen.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: All of these terrorist proxies are funded by Iran.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Totally. Iran is the largest supporter of state terrorism in
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the world. And I hate to admit it, those forces
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: they have, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, they are well-trained. They are, unfortunately,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: excellent fighters. They know what they're doing. And that's why
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it's so important that we go after them. And President Trump,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the only criticism I make of President Trump with Iran
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: is he had to do it. He did the right thing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: He has to continue doing it. But don't try to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: say it's going to be an easy war. Don't say
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that Iran is begging for peace. Those guys will fight
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to the last person because they're crazy. They're obsessed. They're
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: absolute lunatics. And they're dangerous. And they're going to have
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. So I think the president should be saying
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: is this is tougher than we thought it was going
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to be. We're going to say it into the end.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: There are going to be sacrifices. I understand your gas
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: prices are going up. But again, go back to World
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: War II and other great struggles. Americans made the sacrifice,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: as you made. And I'm asking you to make that
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: sacrifice one more time, because President Trump does not want
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to be the president. Two or three years from now,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: when he's out of office and Iran is attacking people
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and using nuclear weapons, people will say, where was Trump
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: when we needed him? He's doing the right thing. He
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: should stay on it. And he should say how serious
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it is. And there's no such thing as an easy war. Certainly,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: when you're dealing with people like Iran, it's not easy.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But we will win. We can't lose. We just got
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to stay on it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. You know, talking about easy wars, he
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: actually said to me on this show, he said, Sid,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I really thought of all the wars. I solved eight
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: world conflicts. I really thought the easiest one was going
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to be Russia-Ukraine because Putin loves me. He called it easy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And Putin is nowhere near. He's nowhere near easy. ending
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that war, that conflict with Ukraine. So he does use
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the word easy sometimes for stuff that is not. But
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I will say this. I still love him. But you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: know who hates him? You know who hates him? Deborah Messing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yet the very popular actress from Will and Grace, much
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: like Bonnie Lautenberg, Democrat. Much like Bob Holden, Democrat. This
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Democrat Trump painting actress jumped aboard the Bruce Blakeman train,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and I was happy to see it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: The movement is definitely going toward Bruce. I think there
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is in New York. I think the Republican Party is
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: certainly downstate here in Long Island, but also around the state.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You see what is building from Bruce Blakeman. Bruce is
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: going to well. And also, if I can put in
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a personal request here for my friend Janine Driscoll, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: think he's running a great race for Congress. And there's
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: really some developments. First of all, every law enforcement group.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And Nassau County is endorsed. Police, detectives, superior officers, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: also her opponent is refusing to debate her. It's a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Channel 12 debate, which every incumbent always does. And for
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: some reason, he's backed out of the debate. She's afraid
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to debate her. But the only negative thing is that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Janine is picking up whatever reason the people in Washington
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: are not giving her the money she needs. TV commercials
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: ready to go. She had a great one going now,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: but she has two more ready to go. So I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: just would, again, if you get her on your show,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: give her some free air time. Let her get on
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: there to make up for the deficiency that she's not
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: getting from Washington, unfortunately. But again, that race can be won.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It will be won. And I'm a thousand percent behind her.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Get her in here next week. Okay. Tell her you just,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I was just on with city. Want you back in here?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Cause I do love her to our kids. Great to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: our kids, friends with both of my kids. So, Janine
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Driscoll's going to win that race. She's going to beat
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Laura Gillum. You know, talking about debates, we had one
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: last week for Comptroller Hernandez versus DiNapoli. Tomorrow night, we've
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: got my friend Saritha. She's going to debate Letitia James
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in the AG race. And Tuesday night, all three of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: these are New York won with that racist Daryl Lewis.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night is the one... debate that New York One
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: will have between Blakeman and Hochul. I expect Bruce to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: wipe the floor with hijab Hochul on Tuesday night. What
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in fact, I'll be with Joe Caro and some
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: friends down at King Umberto's watching it on television. We're
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: going to be cheering Bruce on. And Bruce is doing well.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And you mentioned, Serena, this was a boxing match. That
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: would be called TKO in the first round. I mean,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: she is head and shoulders over Tish James. It's not
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: even close. I mean, she is. I never knew her
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: before this campaign. I got to meet her, I guess,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: early in the spring. And she's incredibly intelligent, smart, a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: great story. I mean, her family is great. She's the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: real deal. I mean, she prosecuted major terrorist cases. So
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: if she's, again, for her as Attorney General, Bruce as Governor,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Sarita as Attorney General, Joe Fernandez as Comptroller, Janine Driscoll
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in Congress, we'll be doing great. It'll be a whole
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: new world here in New York, and we've got to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: get it done.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Let's hope so. Peter, as always, excellent job on this
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: somber morning. You really are awesome.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I love you. Very somber. Thank you.
