• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let me get to Pete King.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Pete Friday was everything. It was advertised that was going
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: to be President Trump, and you had Todd Blinch, and
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: you had Cash Patel, Caroline Levett, all these Long Island people.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You were there. Of course, the great Joe Cairo. What
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: an unbelievable day.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, everything went well and great. Couldn't have asked
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: for more. And I spoke to the President for you know,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: just a few minutes before the events started. He was
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: in great spirits. He is one thousand percent behind Bruce Blakeman.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And also, you know, one of the reasons that all
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: fell into place though, is that it's tough to put
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: together one of those programs and pat ryder Fitt, McCormick, NYPG.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: The work that they did, the security work they were
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: doing right up to including and afterwards, was phenomenal. I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: if it was for awless, everything went well. Bruce made
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: sure the counties that it had to do because he
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: was the county executive besides the candidate, so he was
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: responsible for making sure that that facility worked fine. The cops,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the police did a great job, and again it was
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: just a tremendous show. Joe Cairo had the Republican organization now,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: but it really as as strong as Republican organization is.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: The fact is there were tons of people there who
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: had no connection to the Republican organization now, rank and
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: file people you see them before during afterwards, they were
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: just happy to be there. And the President was in
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: absolutely great spirits. And I don't think you wanted to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: leave the stage. I mean, you know, you and I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: had good seats. You can see him, Yeah, you want
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to leave suddenly that he did his dance, that he
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: came back to dance and then waved you did.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: He danced a couple of times on the police behind him.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: They absolutely loved him.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And if you were the Long Island candidates, Pete spoke
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that day to bring this up with Bruce. They were great.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Janeens Driskell running for that seat against Laura Gillhum.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And Michael Petrie money again says he calls them two base.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Tom Swasey, I actually thought the Petrie was really good.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What did you think of those folks? On body?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Mike? Mike is good. He's run several races before and
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: he said a good up and I think he's going
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to do well in November. I thought Janine was excellent.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I mean she's really in the big leagues now, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: sometimes your first time out because then she's run for
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: local office, is the first time she's run for a
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: federal office, national office. And I thought she was great.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I mean she really, she had no nervousness. She was
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: aggressive but clancy at the same time. And in fact,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you know, his son's the NYPD and her connection to
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Long Island, a connection to Queens where she grew up
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: in Queens. Now she's right on the the border there
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and so she's saw firsthand when they had the all
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the illegal immigrants station right across the Nastrok County border
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: there in Queens. And also you know the harm of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: that course in nastro County. I mean they had to
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: tie some of the park benches down, everything else. Anyway,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: it's a whole well anyway, she's a real she's a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: real candidate. I think she and Mike are going to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: do very well. And Janine lives in my district. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: live in what's going to be our district, and so
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: again I'm campaigning for doing all I can. But the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: president definitely the star of the show. And Bruce, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: mean Bruce is in major leagues. I mean, you see
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: all these national candidates, always national racist. I don't think
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: anyone you can do a better job than Bruce Blakeman.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And you say he's got their white hair. You know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: it looks like a combination of a movie star and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: a statesman.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He does, no, he does, he does. He's a good
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: look in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You're right, the movie star the statesman and him and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Trump are very, very close for a long time. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: think people now saw the bigger route. When I said
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a while back how close they were, that I wasn't exaggerating. Also,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the former congressman who now is the general inspector for
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Trump in his labor department, and Trump made it, made
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it a pack to come out and say, my friend
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to use that word.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Anthony Desposito. He was great on party too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Andy is really good. He's really an effective speaker. It's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: really unfortunate that he didn't make it the last time,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: because again he is superbly qualified. He's again an NYPG
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: detective as town councilman, fire chief. He's done the whole thing,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and he did a great job in Congress. You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: those things can happen. But Anthony's staying active. He's all
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: over the place. He's doing a great job nationally as
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: he inspector General. He's also very active still locally. Segos
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: all the civic events, and so we'll have Janine will
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: be in Congress, Anthony will be there doing all you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: continues to do. And I'm sure there's a great In fact,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I know there's a great future for Anthony and me too.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And I just took out of your New York politics.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just an amazing county, really is, Peter. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: mean again, with you and Joe Cairo at the lead
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of the whole thing. You two guys won the whole thing,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and you put together quite a county. It's just And
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: again I like Suffolk County too. Ed Romayne is terrific
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and right Tierney's great and their police commissioner is terrific too,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, Luca Bella. While the guys with
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the Suffolk County, you know, people.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: About Joe Cairo is that his his his world. He's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: dealing with the White House all week, getting ready for that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: He's there with the President of the United States, He's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: there with the next governor of New York. He's out
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: of the Hampton's with us, and then he'd leave to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: go back in for a sanitary district election. It's I mean,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: so talk about it, going from the White House of
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the potholes. Yeah, in one day without skipping. And that's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: why he wins. He never takes anything for granted, he
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: didn't counts to them, and he believes in national policies
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: is important, state politics is important, but it all starts
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: at the local level.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Last time I saw him actually was at Horrible
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Lights with Bruce.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And he was he had a run back to Long
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Island at night for like the guy ready brought golf
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: tournament to something.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You're right, He's right, and you too, by the way, Pete,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you were tired and you still made your way from
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the President's event to the Hampton's. You were out there
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: with the Roberts household, you were there for Steve wood Cough,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you were there with Bruce Blateman. So you're right there
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: with Joe kiro Pete. You're doing an amazing job.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: That's important to get this done. I mean, he'd just
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: sit around a bitch and tell man Domi's terrible. Oukle's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: not getting it. Done. The state's falling apart. Let's get
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: out there and do something. That's why you're doing it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: You know a lot of guys, even the radio, just sit
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: back and they comment and then they go home. You're
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: like a lunatic. You're all over the place. You never stopped,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you know, And that's really what we have to do.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: We gotta and still we also gotta tell our people
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to stop saying that Bruce is not doing this. Bruce
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: is not doing that, He's doing everything.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Oh hold on, but what what are they?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad you brought that up, because even
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: at that house in the Hampton's on Friday, some guy
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: walked up to me. I don't even know what his
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: name is, handsome guy, you know, probably has a lot
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of money. And he goes, you know, Bruce is doing good,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but he could be doing better. I go willly, like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: what should he be doing?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: You know his message he's strong, but he's not strong enough.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: He needs to yell and scream like you do, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he needs to be in more cities. And he went
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: on for about three or four minutes, and then I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: stopped him and I said, you know, he's gonna win,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And I couldn't disagree with you more.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think he's doing a great job. But it occurred
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to me afterwards that yes, even Bruce supporters, not many.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The very very small minority Pete, but even Bruce supporters
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: tend to be so pessimistic.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Why is that, I.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Don't know, feely annoys your hell out of me. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: mean they come up to me. You should be doing this,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: he should be more in social media fight. If youre upstate,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: he's everywhere. Then people say in the city, say, oh,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: you spend so much time up stated, he's forgotten us.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Then the people upstate scheme he's up here, he's always
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: down in the city. He's forgotten about Long Island. I mean,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: it's crazy. This guy is. He's like a one man band.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: He's like a lot of people behind him, obviously, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: he's got to get all over the state make himself known,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and he's got to run the Knessa County at the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: same time, but still be everywhere. And if you follow him,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and the guy's in everywhere upstate, he goes through the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: five boroughs, he's out in Nessa County, he's in Suffolk County.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And again I wish they would just get behind him
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: and appreciate the Maya what he's done. And there is
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a reason why even under the Siena pol which is
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: a Democrat leaning pole, he went from twenty points down
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: to ten points down in two months. And the fact
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: is the real campaign has even started yet, so obviously
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the guy is doing something right. And I've said this before.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You know, people are going to vote on the Democratic
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: line for Kathy Hockel, But no one who's going to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: get up on election morning and say I have to
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: go out and vote for Kathy Hockel. I don't know
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: anyone who is a strong supporter of Kathy Hockel. They
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: will vote maybe because he's a Democrat, because he's not
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a Republican. They don't like trum up there like this,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But nobody is behind Kathy hoakless a person. People are
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: more and more getting personally attached galvanized by Bruce Boikman.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's true. I'm donning and droid that too. Of a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: cormo went slee wan erics.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: That's why he won, not because they flew in Muslims
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: or because of foreign money. People were enthusiastic to vote
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: for him and not the other ones. Same thing here
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: they're enthusiastic. And again Bruce made this point. Pete, you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: were there, you know that the Roberts House on Friday
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: night in the Hamptons.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: More than half of that crowd were Democrats.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And they were there for a fundraiser for a Republic
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and they're going to vote for Bruks right.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: And I have the the guy who's name in Jersey.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Which one the doctor?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: No, Frank Lattenberg's widow is. I know, I know, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he was I knew Lattenberg. He was a big Democrat,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: my guy. He never stopped yes. And so the fact
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: his widow is supporting Bruce, to me, speaks values about
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the undercurrent that's out there. So no, let's say that's
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a great great to be uh Boce Bruce and as example,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: as important as she is, and that is it's really
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: a metaphor what's happening all over the states. So I say,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: if you want Bruce elected, shut up about complaining about
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: this and that. Just get out there, don't be an
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: out there and get the job done.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned that was the name. I said
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to Bruce. Somebody famous, that's exactly who it is. Great job,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Peter King, Lautenberg's wife, God rest Frank's soul.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I'd be honest. Rosemary just yelled out to me Lautenberg.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: You know, Oh is that right? Rosemary? We love your Rosemary.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Great job, Rosemary.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you, because I couldn't think of it all morning long,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: So a thank you Rosemary.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You're great. Peter, I love your bond. I know she's great.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're both great. I love you both. Have a great day.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: An amazing appearance by both Peter and Rosemary King.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Guys. You take care.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That's a great job by Rosemary. You're right there. That's right,
