1:05
Speaker 3: Peter King. I mean, here's a guy with like forty
1:07
Speaker 3: years of being a great politician, so he has better
1:10
Speaker 3: instincts than me. What do you think, Pete, you think
1:13
Speaker 3: of all the Trumps once the president has done that,
1:17
Speaker 3: Laura is got the most potential to be the next
1:20
Speaker 3: great Trump politician. What do you think?
1:23
Speaker 4: But she surely has He has a great ye with
1:25
Speaker 4: you now. She is too talent. I mean, there's no
1:27
Speaker 4: doubt about it. Showing Fox is doing well. She halms herself, well,
1:32
Speaker 4: she's able to put up with you and make believe
1:34
Speaker 4: she like you. So she has always killed.
1:36
Speaker 3: Yet I've actually asked her once or twice if she's
1:40
Speaker 3: making believe. She said, no way. She says, you're the best.
1:46
Speaker 3: All right. So we've had a couple of great days,
1:50
Speaker 3: Pete King in Congress, and all these anti Trump backstabbers
1:55
Speaker 3: that for some reason, I don't know why, they think
1:58
Speaker 3: crapping all over is will's going to help them. It's
2:01
Speaker 3: making some of these podcasters' money. It's great for Tucker
2:05
Speaker 3: and great for Megan Kelly. But we're starting to see now,
2:08
Speaker 3: state after state after state, when you stab Trump in
2:12
Speaker 3: the back, when you pull that anti Israel garbage, blame
2:15
Speaker 3: Israel for everything, when you yell and scream about the war,
2:18
Speaker 3: when you do all these things you lose, and sometimes
2:21
Speaker 3: as a pretty big favorite, you lose badly. So, as
2:25
Speaker 3: I've said all morning long, Peter King, based on the
2:28
Speaker 3: most recent results in three or four different states, MAGA
2:32
Speaker 3: is alive and well, yes.
2:34
Speaker 4: There's no doubt within the Republican Party, Donald Trump has
2:37
Speaker 4: the support. And I think as far as Israel being
2:40
Speaker 4: an issue, that is something on the far left, which
2:43
Speaker 4: unfortunately too many politicians have felt it's an easy way
2:46
Speaker 4: to as you said, you'll make money on their podcast.
2:49
Speaker 4: But also others have lost their nerves, certainly the Democratic Party.
2:52
Speaker 4: A lot of Democrats who had traditionally been pro Israel
2:55
Speaker 4: and now backing away. They're afraid that left wing and
2:57
Speaker 4: then Republicans, some of them on the fringes like Madri
3:00
Speaker 4: Tellgreen types Thomas Massey last night, they fall into this
3:04
Speaker 4: thing and somehow that's capturing the country. It's not. Most
3:09
Speaker 4: Americans when the consimon to vote realized that Israel is
3:12
Speaker 4: our closest ally in the Middle East. The Middle East
3:15
Speaker 4: is right now the center of the world as far
3:18
Speaker 4: as future violence and trouble, and that we didn't have
3:22
Speaker 4: Israel on us side. Forgetting the fact. Listen, I always
3:25
Speaker 4: said my first ten years in Congress, I had many
3:29
Speaker 4: many Jewish voters in my district. My last eighteen years
3:33
Speaker 4: I had virtually none. The way the lines were drawn,
3:35
Speaker 4: I was as strong for Israel in the final eighteen
3:37
Speaker 4: as I was in the first and not just for
3:39
Speaker 4: any feelings I have for Israel and I've been there
3:41
Speaker 4: a number of times, but the main thing was we
3:44
Speaker 4: need Israel. It's an America's national interest. And whether or
3:47
Speaker 4: not it was a Jewish state, Arab state, no matter
3:49
Speaker 4: what it was, Israel was absolutely essential to us. They
3:52
Speaker 4: have been with us. They've always been with us, going
3:54
Speaker 4: back to all of their prime minutes. Is There's been
3:56
Speaker 4: some ups and downs, but there's never any wavering in
3:59
Speaker 4: the strong relatehip between us. The fact that we do
4:02
Speaker 4: have obligations because the howarcaust that is absolutely essential also,
4:06
Speaker 4: but nothing is more important from an American point of
4:09
Speaker 4: view than Israel was such a strong and definite ally.
4:13
Speaker 4: And I could tell you from being in Congress in
4:15
Speaker 4: those years, being in the homeless Security Committee, being on
4:18
Speaker 4: the Intelligence Committee, the intelligence that Israel shares with us
4:21
Speaker 4: and we shared with them, they are indispenseful to American
4:24
Speaker 4: foreign policy.
4:26
Speaker 3: Tom told me on this show. Not that long ago.
4:28
Speaker 3: He said, sid fifteen years ago, the strongest lobby was Israel.
4:35
Speaker 3: Fifteen he said, you would never ever ever hear a
4:40
Speaker 3: bunch of politicians come out against Israel. He actually said
4:44
Speaker 3: to me at the time, this is going back to Julyza,
4:46
Speaker 3: though he goes now they are to the whole Democrat Party.
4:49
Speaker 3: You know, Republicans more on the podcast side than politicians,
4:53
Speaker 3: although we've got you know, Thomas Massey. He lost, and
4:55
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green, she would have lost. She went home.
4:59
Speaker 3: And if I was Ran Paul, I'd be very nervous
5:01
Speaker 3: this morning. If I was Lauren Bulbert, I'd be very
5:04
Speaker 3: nervous this morning. I think all these people that have
5:07
Speaker 3: decided to go against Trump, whether it's the Israel or
5:10
Speaker 3: the Iran or any one of these policies, are gonna
5:13
Speaker 3: find out very very quickly that no, the nation, the
5:17
Speaker 3: country is not siding with you. We are not a
5:20
Speaker 3: country of anti Semites and conspiracy theorists were not, because
5:25
Speaker 3: if we were, then Massi would have won last night
5:28
Speaker 3: when he said afterwards, we are starting something big here.
5:31
Speaker 3: The country is yearning for this. Could you sound dumber?
5:34
Speaker 3: He just lost by ten points. If the country was
5:36
Speaker 3: yearning for this. You would have won. Isn't that pretty?
5:40
Speaker 3: Is it a bigger.
5:41
Speaker 4: Outpeat, especially in Massi's district. You know, there's other districts
5:45
Speaker 4: which in so democratic areas, but as far as Massey,
5:49
Speaker 4: that is one of the most pro Republican districts in
5:52
Speaker 4: the country. If he couldn't win there, he couldn't win anywhere.
5:55
Speaker 4: I mean, that is part of the fact that he's
5:57
Speaker 4: been there for fourteen years. By the way, I have
5:59
Speaker 4: different feelings Thomas Massy Over the years, I used to
6:02
Speaker 4: sort of respect him. I didn't agree with him much,
6:03
Speaker 4: but he was a very decent guy, libertarian. The last
6:06
Speaker 4: few years. That whole thing with Epstein, what's that? I
6:09
Speaker 4: don't know. Listen, I agree with you, the terrible things
6:11
Speaker 4: happened with Epstein to somehow imply that the president was
6:15
Speaker 4: covering up the president was involved and identifying with the
6:18
Speaker 4: left wing of the Democratic Party or that was totally
6:20
Speaker 4: off the charts. And then this whole thing with Israel. Listen,
6:24
Speaker 4: I understand him, he's a bit of an isolationist, et cetera.
6:27
Speaker 4: But to be talking about Israel controlling our foreign policy,
6:30
Speaker 4: Israel having an influence if there's anything. All the things
6:34
Speaker 4: you can say about Donald Trump, some good, some bad, whatever,
6:37
Speaker 4: no one's going to control him. I mean, whether it's
6:39
Speaker 4: be be that Yahoo, it doesn't matter who it is.
6:41
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is his own man. And there's been any
6:44
Speaker 4: number of times in the first term and in this
6:46
Speaker 4: term where he that Yao if had disagreements behind the scenes.
6:49
Speaker 4: That happens all the time, and that's you know, I'm
6:52
Speaker 4: sure there's things that Yaho wanted to do that Donald
6:54
Speaker 4: Trump would not go on with this. Donald Trump is
6:57
Speaker 4: calling the shots in the man for better forwards, and
7:00
Speaker 4: I support his policies. In Iran, there was a Donald
7:03
Speaker 4: Trump's policies. Net Yahoo is a strong ally with us.
7:06
Speaker 4: But the man calling the shots the man who was
7:09
Speaker 4: in charge of Donald Trump. And so people imply this
7:13
Speaker 4: is where we go beyond an honest disagreement that people
7:16
Speaker 4: have with Israel in certain issues. This is where it
7:18
Speaker 4: comes over into anti semitism. The Jews control of Hollywood,
7:22
Speaker 4: the Jews controller banks, and now they control American final
7:25
Speaker 4: policy goes beaving that Yahoo as a hold on Donald Trump.
7:29
Speaker 4: That is absolute nonsense, and that's where you've crossed the
7:32
Speaker 4: line into anti semitism.
7:34
Speaker 3: Beet. You just said that perfectly. That's right. It's not
7:36
Speaker 3: about policy differences. These people always expose themselves eventually, Massie.
7:41
Speaker 3: Last night he just lost. He was a big bait,
7:44
Speaker 3: but he lost by nearly double digits because part of
7:47
Speaker 3: the reason his rhetoric on Israel. And yet here he
7:52
Speaker 3: is on stage about to concede, and the moron said this,
7:55
Speaker 3: can you believe that? To find ed kel Ron in
7:58
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv? You just lost because of stupidity like that.
8:02
Speaker 3: I guess it doesn't matter. Let's get to New York City, Mom, Donnie.
8:06
Speaker 3: That knack bad day that we went through last week
8:09
Speaker 3: when he rewrote history, you know, I mean Israel in
8:13
Speaker 3: nineteen forty seven agreed, agreed to split the land. They
8:16
Speaker 3: agreed to split it, and then five hour of nations,
8:19
Speaker 3: five of them, and Egypt and Syria and Jordan. They
8:23
Speaker 3: decided in nineteen forty eight, now we want the land,
8:25
Speaker 3: we want all of it. Not good enough, We're gonna
8:27
Speaker 3: kill all the Jews and take it. So they started
8:29
Speaker 3: the war and we won. We always win, We always win.
8:32
Speaker 3: So what happened these Palestinians They were actually, you know,
8:36
Speaker 3: looking for a place to live because of their own
8:39
Speaker 3: people that had nothing to do with Israel. We agreed
8:42
Speaker 3: to split the land in nineteen forty seven. And this
8:45
Speaker 3: anti Semite, this horrible mayor, rewrote history with this knock
8:50
Speaker 3: pod day nonsense a couple of days ago. That'll bother you.
8:53
Speaker 1: No.
8:54
Speaker 4: Absolutely, first of Israel in those original lines was much
8:58
Speaker 4: much smaller than it is now. I mean, the fact
9:01
Speaker 4: is they were given a small area of land and
9:03
Speaker 4: they accepted it, and they wanted to work with the
9:05
Speaker 4: Arab neighbors. And and you're right, they invaded them as
9:07
Speaker 4: they invaded them in nineteen sixty seven, as they did
9:10
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy three. We got to all of us, and
9:12
Speaker 4: of course we saw what happened in nineteen ninety twenty
9:17
Speaker 4: twenty three. So no, it's historically it's been Israel is
9:21
Speaker 4: but the one looking for peace, looking for settlement. And
9:23
Speaker 4: yet the Arab nation is now most of the Arab nations,
9:27
Speaker 4: quite frankly, and this is partly because of Donald Trum's diplomacy.
9:30
Speaker 4: Most of the Arab nations, either publicly or privately standing
9:33
Speaker 4: with Israel, support Israel. And it's the Palestinian radicals that
9:38
Speaker 4: are opposed Iran and his laps on to that, but no,
9:41
Speaker 4: Israel is the one. Again. From the start, they were
9:44
Speaker 4: more than satisfied with the land allocated to them, which
9:48
Speaker 4: is nowhere near the size that is now. For the
9:50
Speaker 4: reason it's expanded is because they were taking land to
9:53
Speaker 4: defend themselves from these tacks were being made. I mean,
9:55
Speaker 4: this is Arabs. I guess it was the Jolly Leader
10:01
Speaker 4: even he said that basically the powers Indians never missed
10:05
Speaker 4: an opportunity, to miss an opportunity, and that's what it
10:08
Speaker 4: has been about over the years, with so many chances
10:10
Speaker 4: to peace. Soadat finally grabbed it. Jordan has grabbed it
10:14
Speaker 4: the South East. I thing, why didn't you grab it?
10:16
Speaker 4: Which is why I think Iran wants the attack on
10:20
Speaker 4: back in October twenty twenty three.
10:23
Speaker 3: So last night I made my way to Hewlett, lovely
10:26
Speaker 3: place on Long Island. You'll place Long Island for Dove
10:30
Speaker 3: and Shani hiking. They've got this Quat organization, a Tauret Kanem,
10:34
Speaker 3: where they they actually are buying land in the Old
10:37
Speaker 3: City in Jerusalem and making sure that Jewish people are
10:41
Speaker 3: moving back because as you know, even though Israel won
10:44
Speaker 3: all those wars, a lot of the Jews did leave
10:47
Speaker 3: be forced to leave the old city and they're still
10:49
Speaker 3: not back. So what Retkanem with Moti Don and Dan
10:53
Speaker 3: Lourie and the Hikings. They do a great job at that.
10:56
Speaker 3: So I went to this event last night ago every year,
10:58
Speaker 3: they played a nice recording on the big screen from
11:01
Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman because Bruce couldn't be there last night because
11:04
Speaker 3: he was at a big GOP dinner which I was
11:06
Speaker 3: invited to too here in New York City with Ron DeSantis
11:09
Speaker 3: and a bunch of others. I wasn't there, but I
11:12
Speaker 3: was told by people there that Bruce Blakeman was amazing
11:17
Speaker 3: last night. What did you see you here?
11:20
Speaker 4: Bruce is is Tsunama. By the way, Janine Driscolls a
11:23
Speaker 4: new member of Congress from that area, and I know
11:25
Speaker 4: if she was great on your show yesterday, he was
11:28
Speaker 4: I having to change and Bruce is doing a great job.
11:30
Speaker 4: And Jovinigo said before that the Pole show, Bruce isn't
11:34
Speaker 4: doing well. Actually, you analyze the polls, first of all,
11:37
Speaker 4: like the Seener Pole always poll's more Democrats Republicans. But
11:40
Speaker 4: apart from all that, even in that poll, Kathy Hoakle's
11:44
Speaker 4: favorable numbers of forty six percent under fifty I means
11:47
Speaker 4: after five years in office, more than half the state
11:50
Speaker 4: is that of a good opinion of her. And the
11:53
Speaker 4: unwritten rule in politics is that if you are an
11:56
Speaker 4: incumbent and you're under fifty percent, you can lose. The
11:59
Speaker 4: odds are you can lose. And Bruce is tapping into that.
12:02
Speaker 4: He's going everywhere. This guy is doing everything can be done.
12:05
Speaker 4: If anyone can cut into that and grab that extra
12:10
Speaker 4: those votes that are right now are undecided who are
12:12
Speaker 4: not willing to support cap Yoko, Bruce can do it.
12:15
Speaker 4: And Bruce is the real deal. He's the real deal
12:17
Speaker 4: in every respect. I've known him for thirty forty years.
12:20
Speaker 4: My daughter worked closely with him when they were on
12:22
Speaker 4: the Hempstead Town board together. Bruce is Bruce. He goes
12:26
Speaker 4: his own way in an independent way. That independent way,
12:29
Speaker 4: to me always ends up being the right way. And
12:31
Speaker 4: you know, you mentioned it's really interesting. First time I
12:34
Speaker 4: ran for office and I'm dating myself nineteen seventy seven,
12:37
Speaker 4: and then councilmen ran town wise. So he's the whole
12:41
Speaker 4: eight hundred and fifty thousand people, including the five Sounds
12:44
Speaker 4: and Joe Margiato County chairman was saying, the guys like me,
12:47
Speaker 4: stay out of the five towns. They're gonna kill us.
12:49
Speaker 4: They were like ninety percent Democrats and they were overwhelming
12:52
Speaker 4: on the Democrat. Now, I think there was the last
12:55
Speaker 4: election there was some electors to district and he was
12:58
Speaker 4: a yulettle Woodmere Whether the Republican won like one hundred
13:01
Speaker 4: and two.
13:02
Speaker 3: I mean, this is you know, you can thank for
13:04
Speaker 3: that the Jews. That's all the it's all the Republican
13:06
Speaker 3: Jews that moved there.
13:07
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And it really it's been such a such
13:10
Speaker 4: a change. And also many people, and again I'm not
13:13
Speaker 4: speaking to Jews, but in the Jewish community, so many
13:15
Speaker 4: of them who traditionally just went down the line and
13:17
Speaker 4: voted Democrat realize that now the Democratic Party is not
13:21
Speaker 4: standing with Israel, does not stand with the basics caare
13:24
Speaker 4: todeo Christian principles, and so more and more in the
13:28
Speaker 4: Jewish community, not just the Orthodox, but others are really
13:31
Speaker 4: starting to vote Republican, considered Republicans, and anyone, if anyone
13:34
Speaker 4: can happen to that, it's Bruce Blake agreed.
13:37
Speaker 3: They're more and more in common sense places like your county.
13:40
Speaker 3: They're doing that, but you get the Jews here in
13:42
Speaker 3: New York City. They're still idiots, and my people, I
13:44
Speaker 3: love them. With the idiots, they'll never vote the other way.
13:46
Speaker 3: You get Jews in Brooklyn. I mean, I gotta wrap
13:48
Speaker 3: this up. But a couple of nights ago, Mayor Mom Donnie,
13:51
Speaker 3: who hates the Jews, I'll say it again, he hates
13:54
Speaker 3: the Jews. He celebrated Cha Volte, a big Jewish holiday
13:58
Speaker 3: at grease Sea Mansion, and Jews showed up. Now, the
14:01
Speaker 3: number was not as big as Mamdani would have liked
14:05
Speaker 3: or his supporters would tell you, so I'm going to
14:07
Speaker 3: give my people some credit. But there were Jews there,
14:10
Speaker 3: a couple of Sma Robbis not to single out to St. Mars,
14:12
Speaker 3: but two Rabbis in particular. So you know, there's still
14:17
Speaker 3: plenty of Jews here in New York especially that can
14:21
Speaker 3: seem to figure out the obvious, which is the Republican
14:25
Speaker 3: Party cares about us, looks to protect us. The Democrats
14:30
Speaker 3: one is dead. Bottom line, Pete, I.
14:33
Speaker 4: Think too many people, and probably Jews more than others,
14:36
Speaker 4: but even others in the business community somehow think that
14:39
Speaker 4: man DOMI is going to end up doing the right thing,
14:41
Speaker 4: and right now he's just learning how to do the job.
14:45
Speaker 4: He's making some mistakes, but he count on him. No,
14:48
Speaker 4: he knows what he's doing. This guy is good. He's
14:50
Speaker 4: good as far as getting his job done. His job
14:53
Speaker 4: is to change New York City into a socialist haven,
14:57
Speaker 4: to go against the basic values that Jews and Christians
15:01
Speaker 4: have had over the years. He's not pro American, he's
15:04
Speaker 4: anti top, he's anti middle class and everything about him.
15:08
Speaker 4: But he knows what he's doing. We got to forget
15:10
Speaker 4: this thing. And somehow he went on a fluke or
15:12
Speaker 4: they sold votes or that he's where you know, he
15:16
Speaker 4: knew exactly what he was doing. His campaign was brilliant.
15:19
Speaker 4: He's a smart guy, and unfortunately those brains are be
15:22
Speaker 4: used against what you and I and so and the
15:24
Speaker 4: majority of New Yorker should believe in.
15:26
Speaker 3: Pete King is always an amazing segment. You're so good
15:29
Speaker 3: on Wednesdays. I love you. That was really really great.
15:31
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, and we'll do it again next week.
15:34
Speaker 3: Have a great week.
15:35
Speaker 4: Thank you, buddy, you got it said.
15:36
Speaker 3: What a great job right there the former congressman. He
15:38
Speaker 3: really is terrific. We discuss everything on this show a
15:40
Speaker 3: good one. Peter King
