- 0:00Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time with
- 0:03Speaker 1: slow claim refunds At Level Health. We're fed up with
- 0:07Speaker 1: all the wasting around. We think it's about time your
- 0:09Speaker 1: claims were paid back quickly via Revolution Level Health. It's
- 0:13Speaker 1: about time insurance provided by Aviva Insurance Ireland Dark Level
- 0:17Speaker 1: Health deliminitsed trading as Level Health is regulated by the
- 0:19Speaker 1: Central Bank of Ireland.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Former Great US congressman for the better part of four
- 0:23Speaker 2: decades and Homeland Security. He's done it all and he
- 0:27Speaker 2: basically runs Long Island. So La Petrie wants to win.
- 0:31Speaker 2: It's all about king And who's my friend now? Running
- 0:34Speaker 2: against Laura gill And I like this. What's her name again?
- 0:37Speaker 2: I like her? Well, yeah, Driscoll Pete, I mean Pete.
- 0:42Speaker 2: You're basically in charge of like all the politicians on
- 0:45Speaker 2: Long Island. Yes, you like the Godfather.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Now, Joe Carro is the man. Don't get me in trouble.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Joe Caro is the man. I've known Joe for fifty years.
- 0:53Speaker 3: He's the guy that brought the Republican Party back. He's
- 0:56Speaker 3: on a top of it all. I jump in every
- 0:59Speaker 3: now and then when he had me too. But now
- 1:01Speaker 3: Jose the man chose the man.
- 1:02Speaker 2: How do we look in those two races, specifically Driscoll
- 1:07Speaker 2: and Lapetrie. I think La Petrie's coming on next week.
- 1:09Speaker 2: How do we look in those two races moving forward?
- 1:13Speaker 3: I actually lived in Janine's districts, and besides knowing her
- 1:15Speaker 3: a long time, I live in her district. I think
- 1:17Speaker 3: she's got a real shot. I'm going all out with her.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I think if she really is developing a very strong
- 1:24Speaker 3: local following. Where she her into the town which is
- 1:27Speaker 3: right near New York City unfortunately, and she spread spreads
- 1:31Speaker 3: out east, She's doing a great job. She really resonates
- 1:35Speaker 3: with working people. She got four or five kids, sons,
- 1:39Speaker 3: a cop, She's been active for years. So I think
- 1:43Speaker 3: Janine really represents the taxpayers of Long Island of the
- 1:47Speaker 3: South Show, especially Michael Petrie. Now, the last time around
- 1:50Speaker 3: he ran, there was very very little attention on his race.
- 1:53Speaker 3: All the money and effort went into Anthony Jesposito's race,
- 1:56Speaker 3: and that race has conceded to Tom Swase up being
- 2:00Speaker 3: like a two point victory only only for Swase. So
- 2:03Speaker 3: there's a question we had done more for Michael Petrie,
- 2:07Speaker 3: he would have won that so now he's off and running.
- 2:09Speaker 3: He also had a two year head start from the
- 2:11Speaker 3: night he lost until now he's been going full steam
- 2:15Speaker 3: and raising money, going daughter door up and down the
- 2:18Speaker 3: streets everywhere. Michael Petrie is a real, real that's a
- 2:21Speaker 3: real hard working guy. So I think we could take
- 2:24Speaker 3: both of those seats back. We really do. But I
- 2:26Speaker 3: got to tell you something said last night. I was
- 2:28Speaker 3: out to dinner with Rosemary, Melissa and land, Bill Flanagan, Natalie,
- 2:32Speaker 3: good friends of mine at carray Mere Restaurant and Seafort.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Everything was going great, and this woman comes up to
- 2:37Speaker 3: me and she goes, I love you. I vote for
- 2:39Speaker 3: you every time you're in Congress. You're absolutely outstanding. But
- 2:42Speaker 3: I really love sid Rosenbrot. That ruined my whole night,
- 2:45Speaker 3: ruined my whole night.
- 2:46Speaker 2: It happens.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Rosemary wouldn't let me forget I pete.
- 2:50Speaker 2: It happens to you if I'm wrong, because I know you,
- 2:53Speaker 2: it must happen to you four or five times a week.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
- 2:57Speaker 3: I hate it. I hate it, Yes, it is true.
- 3:00Speaker 3: With that, I turned my back and try to walk away,
- 3:02Speaker 3: and Mary's laughing and terrible, terrible ruin my whole night.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Well, you know what, for what it's worth your county, specifically,
- 3:11Speaker 2: if I ran for office side, when I'm very popular,
- 3:14Speaker 2: I go to events for Masie Pillup. I go to
- 3:16Speaker 2: events for Bruce Blateman, you know. And initially when and
- 3:21Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman admits this, he gives me a majority of
- 3:23Speaker 2: the credit for beating Laura Curran the first time. I
- 3:26Speaker 2: would go out there Peter as you know, to to
- 3:28Speaker 2: actually and for him and for Anne Donnelly, the great
- 3:32Speaker 2: district attorney, and they would come out in big numbers.
- 3:35Speaker 2: So you know, listen, I work in National County. The
- 3:38Speaker 2: bands like me because they are the real Americans. Not
- 3:41Speaker 2: everyone of them the mag of person. They're all big
- 3:44Speaker 2: President Trump people, but those are the real Americans. That's
- 3:47Speaker 2: why I resonate in that county.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Well, you saw that when you went to Officer Jolis
- 3:51Speaker 3: Choonlas little ribbons everywhere, and so it really is patriotic.
- 3:57Speaker 3: I didn't answer people. You were there. Ye're handing out
- 4:00Speaker 3: water bottles to people and there's so patriotic. So no,
- 4:03Speaker 3: it's a great, great community, all of them. You're down
- 4:06Speaker 3: the line, see if down well want to and then
- 4:09Speaker 3: where Janid lives right on the edge of New York City.
- 4:12Speaker 3: They are very very Republican. For one, they are anyway,
- 4:15Speaker 3: but secondly they just look across the street and they
- 4:17Speaker 3: see what can happen, you know, New York City. So
- 4:21Speaker 3: we were good for Joe Kyron's borted all together, I
- 4:23Speaker 3: think it was always there. Started to slip a bit,
- 4:26Speaker 3: and then when Bruce won in twenty twenty one and
- 4:29Speaker 3: donaldy won and twenty twenty one pat Ryder being the
- 4:32Speaker 3: police commissioner. All of that is really what guys like
- 4:35Speaker 3: you and the people Bell Harbor love. I mean, it's
- 4:37Speaker 3: very patriotic, very pro cop, very pro military. And they
- 4:42Speaker 3: even when they have differences here or there with the country,
- 4:44Speaker 3: they would never ever ever think of burning American flag.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Oh god, any disrespectful about the government. You know. They
- 4:50Speaker 3: love America. They do.
- 4:52Speaker 2: No, It's only one place that seems a little confused
- 4:57Speaker 2: as of late. The kids are running wild. They had
- 4:59Speaker 2: this guy conversation with Bruce Blateman last week, and then
- 5:03Speaker 2: I find out the same place no one actually signed
- 5:07Speaker 2: up to run for mayor Bayville. What is going on
- 5:11Speaker 2: in Bayville? They don't have a mayor. The kids are
- 5:13Speaker 2: running wild, what's going on.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Yeah, that is way up north. I represented Bayville for
- 5:19Speaker 3: a while years ago. I don't know. It's sort of
- 5:21Speaker 3: remote from Nasjoe Kenny, I really can't speak to what's happy.
- 5:23Speaker 3: I can't believe they don't have a candidate for mayor.
- 5:25Speaker 3: I mean, how crazy can you get? And we tore
- 5:29Speaker 3: up these you know, let's face it, sporadic instances of
- 5:31Speaker 3: violence breakout with kids, whether it's caused whatever. But the
- 5:35Speaker 3: thing is cops go in. Pat Ryder takes care of that.
- 5:37Speaker 3: We've never had anything anything get out of control. And
- 5:40Speaker 3: if there is that one bad night, you're not gonna
- 5:42Speaker 3: have the second and third bad night. I mean that's
- 5:44Speaker 3: I go to all the demonstrations against Ice and everything.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Basically they set the firm rules you can demonstrate here
- 5:50Speaker 3: across the line. You're getting locked up and it works.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I mean there was no with all the anti King's
- 5:55Speaker 3: rally and anti ICE rally and everything they were doing,
- 5:59Speaker 3: nothing ever got out of controlling Naso County because they
- 6:01Speaker 3: know that the NASA police, with pat Ryder and Bruce
- 6:05Speaker 3: Plakeman standing behind on him. Now pat doesn't have to
- 6:07Speaker 3: worry that the sightest thing goes wrong. The county executive
- 6:10Speaker 3: is going to come down on him. This is like
- 6:11Speaker 3: New York City where Jessica Sish has to constant be
- 6:14Speaker 3: concerned about what the politicians You're going to say, Now
- 6:16Speaker 3: what pat has the basically a free hand to do
- 6:19Speaker 3: what he has to do, and then Bruce supports the
- 6:22Speaker 3: cops all the way.
- 6:23Speaker 2: That's why it works so well. Talking about Bruce, you
- 6:25Speaker 2: knowhocals out there bragging about her anti ice legislation, Holman says, Aha, lady,
- 6:31Speaker 2: take it easy. I'm coming in gun big batrels. I'm
- 6:35Speaker 2: bringing in more ice people than you ever saw in
- 6:37Speaker 2: the state of New York. And she's freaking out him.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I'm Donnie's freaking out. So she's she's out a rough
- 6:43Speaker 2: couple of days. And Blakeman was at the nickname I know.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Game three. I did see President Trump, which was very,
- 6:49Speaker 2: very nice. I don't know what he's doing today, but
- 6:52Speaker 2: he's out there every day and canvassing the whole state.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I've heard people say, well, I need to see Bruce
- 6:58Speaker 2: Moore in the northern there. He's there, He's there all
- 7:01Speaker 2: the time. He's doing an amazing job. Actually still still
- 7:04Speaker 2: performing his duties as a national count the executive, but
- 7:07Speaker 2: at the same time campaigning to be the next governor,
- 7:11Speaker 2: and he is gaining on all these latest polls. He
- 7:14Speaker 2: is down to double digits at one point. He was
- 7:16Speaker 2: down by twenty six when we initially started polling this race.
- 7:20Speaker 2: So right now it is Bruce Blakeman that has the momentum,
- 7:24Speaker 2: not count the hokel He seems very compyd. You know
- 7:27Speaker 2: we talk like you, Pete. I think Blakeman and I
- 7:29Speaker 2: talk just about every day every day, and he is
- 7:32Speaker 2: very confident he'll be the next governor here in the
- 7:34Speaker 2: state of New York.
- 7:37Speaker 3: He was that way in twenty twenty one and people
- 7:39Speaker 3: were saying, where's Bruce. He's not doing enough. He's down
- 7:42Speaker 3: by fifteen points. Lower Current can't lose it. She was,
- 7:44Speaker 3: by the way, a popular county executive. Unlike Katy Hoche,
- 7:48Speaker 3: lower Current didn't have a lot of support. I mean,
- 7:50Speaker 3: people really liked it. But Bruce had to turn that
- 7:52Speaker 3: around and right till the end, I would say, the
- 7:55Speaker 3: day before election, you know, the geniuses were still saying
- 7:57Speaker 3: Bruce couldn't win. Well, he won because he is kept
- 8:00Speaker 3: going and going and he builds support everywhere. And the
- 8:03Speaker 3: people who say they haven't seen them open their eyes.
- 8:06Speaker 3: He's everywhere. He's everywhere. He's upstate, he's downstate, he's out
- 8:10Speaker 3: in Nstra County, Suffolk County, the Five Boroughs, and again,
- 8:13Speaker 3: this is a big, big state. But he's there and
- 8:15Speaker 3: he keeps going and going, and us didn't get discouraged.
- 8:17Speaker 3: And that only of Bruce's number is going up. More importantly,
- 8:21Speaker 3: Kathy Hoku's numbers. As far as I know every poll
- 8:23Speaker 3: I've seen, she's still under fifty percent. And if you're
- 8:26Speaker 3: the incumbent and you've been in office five years and
- 8:29Speaker 3: you can't even get half the people of the state
- 8:32Speaker 3: they say they want to vote for you, you're in trouble.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Those are votes that are there for Bruce to get,
- 8:37Speaker 3: and he's working as hard as he can to get them,
- 8:39Speaker 3: and I'm confident he's going to get them.
- 8:41Speaker 2: So I'd be remissive. I did not bring up borum
- 8:43Speaker 2: policy with you. You're as good as it gets, Peter.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I know you just heard my conversation with John Solomon.
- 8:48Speaker 2: You've been listening to me every day for a long time,
- 8:50Speaker 2: and I made no bones about it. You know how
- 8:52Speaker 2: much I love Trump, but I get people in here
- 8:53Speaker 2: and they're telling me about Scott Bessant and we're strangling
- 8:56Speaker 2: them and it's going to work. And I'm like, I
- 8:58Speaker 2: don't know, I don't see it to Trump to light
- 9:00Speaker 2: this guys up. You know that Pete was adamant about
- 9:03Speaker 2: it two months ago.
- 9:04Speaker 3: So I keep.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Saying, come on, come on, you can strangle them financially.
- 9:08Speaker 2: They don't care. They don't care if their people go hungry.
- 9:12Speaker 2: The guys that are in charge, they're eating fine. Some
- 9:14Speaker 2: of them may be in trouble they plead to Afghanistan,
- 9:17Speaker 2: but for the most part, the guys in charge, they're fine.
- 9:20Speaker 2: There's only one way to end this. It's not by
- 9:22Speaker 2: strangling them economically. We got to blow the doors off.
- 9:25Speaker 2: I've been saying it for months. Solomon thinks the time
- 9:29Speaker 2: is now. What do you think I do?
- 9:31Speaker 3: I think I'm trying not to be critically. I think
- 9:34Speaker 3: President Trump underestimated Iran. And that's Iran is not Venezuela,
- 9:41Speaker 3: It's not Amnia or Isabajan. These are fanatics. They will
- 9:46Speaker 3: fight and fight and fight. They've been planning for this
- 9:48Speaker 3: for years. They've been defending against it, preparing their defenses
- 9:52Speaker 3: for years. And it's not a real estate deal, and
- 9:55Speaker 3: it's not dealing with the countries like Venezuela. And he's
- 9:58Speaker 3: got to hold on.
- 9:58Speaker 2: And so one you hold on, you say it's not
- 10:00Speaker 2: a real estate deal, and you know, I love you.
- 10:03Speaker 2: To me that sounded like a veiled shot at Steve Whitgoff.
- 10:07Speaker 3: It's not veiled, it's a shot what he's doing there?
- 10:11Speaker 3: You see, I have any idea of Middle Eastern history?
- 10:13Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 10:14Speaker 2: No?
- 10:15Speaker 3: I mean because in there what again? It's not is
- 10:19Speaker 3: that a deal to be made with Iran. That's to
- 10:21Speaker 3: be subjugation. They have to realize that they're going to
- 10:24Speaker 3: be destroyed and they've absolutely nothing left. These are people
- 10:27Speaker 3: that you can, you know, split the difference with. It's
- 10:29Speaker 3: not like you know, training fifty eight Street from fifty
- 10:32Speaker 3: ninth street, or one hotel for another. This is this
- 10:35Speaker 3: is blood and guts. These are animals. These people over there,
- 10:38Speaker 3: those people now the average Iranian, the Persian, they're excellent people.
- 10:42Speaker 3: They've a lot of them come to Narshall County and
- 10:45Speaker 3: they've done its phenomenal job, especially in areas like Great Neck,
- 10:48Speaker 3: which used to be ninety percent Democrat. It's how republican
- 10:52Speaker 3: because the Persian community moved in there. They're great, but
- 10:55Speaker 3: the leadership they are I GC those iotolers they not
- 11:00Speaker 3: just they're mad men, but they're not. They have crazy ideas,
- 11:03Speaker 3: but they will do everything. They're smart, they will do
- 11:06Speaker 3: everything they can to stay in power, and you can't
- 11:08Speaker 3: threaten them. They don't care if that the whole country stops,
- 11:10Speaker 3: and even they're willing to start for a while. This
- 11:13Speaker 3: isn't like you know, guy at Maduro, who was just
- 11:16Speaker 3: trying to build up money and power for himself. These
- 11:17Speaker 3: people are committed to a deadly evil cause started with
- 11:21Speaker 3: the fact they hate Israeli, they hate Jews, and they
- 11:23Speaker 3: hate Western civilization. And that's why we have to be careful. Listen,
- 11:27Speaker 3: I agree with people that yao, even if I didn't
- 11:30Speaker 3: the factors, we're not living in that lousy neighborhood. They're
- 11:33Speaker 3: the ones who live next to murders and killers. So
- 11:35Speaker 3: every time we take strong action around which we should, well,
- 11:38Speaker 3: the ones the first ones to bear the brunt of
- 11:40Speaker 3: that are the Israelities. You know who's got to do it.
- 11:43Speaker 3: He has because he's not in Yio, but he's doing
- 11:46Speaker 3: to protect his country just like we would have. You said,
- 11:49Speaker 3: if you book Will attacked them, Cincinnati were attacked, later
- 11:53Speaker 3: were attacked, or let's say, let's say the Mexican cartels
- 11:56Speaker 3: started firing across the border. We boughted the hell out
- 11:59Speaker 3: of Mexico. That's right, that's right.
- 12:00Speaker 2: But we expect Phoebe to to you know, he's a
- 12:02Speaker 2: bad guy, according to Corey Booker. And I'll tell you
- 12:04Speaker 2: something else, Pete. And this I know for a fact.
- 12:07Speaker 2: There was a time and the Israeli still love President Trump.
- 12:10Speaker 2: They love them like I do. They love them in
- 12:12Speaker 2: big numbers. But his popularity in Israel is starting to
- 12:17Speaker 2: go down. I mean, you know, I speak to all
- 12:18Speaker 2: these people there. They're like, they need Iran to be decompetated, because,
- 12:23Speaker 2: as you said, Cincinnati's not in trouble. You know, Portland's
- 12:27Speaker 2: not in trouble. Anytime anybody takes action against Iran, people
- 12:31Speaker 2: die in Tel Aviv. So they're counting on us to
- 12:34Speaker 2: finally cut the head off of this monster. And every
- 12:37Speaker 2: time President Trump elects not to bomb and we'll talk
- 12:40Speaker 2: to them, Israelis are also losing their patients. So not
- 12:43Speaker 2: only is Trump frustrating some Americans, but is overwhelming popularity
- 12:47Speaker 2: in Israel is starting to wand just a bit.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I think he has to go out. Listen.
- 12:53Speaker 3: I don't have the inside information, John Salmon in my head.
- 12:55Speaker 3: I'm not down there, and I'm down there anymore. But
- 12:57Speaker 3: if we have that type of weaponry, do it, and
- 13:00Speaker 3: do it and listen. If any country is gonna h
- 13:03Speaker 3: cut back on civilian casual pleacher is going to be us.
- 13:05Speaker 3: But things war is war, and whatever we have to
- 13:08Speaker 3: destroy the I on GCG in there, use it all
- 13:11Speaker 3: and don't say, Okay, let's hold it off for another
- 13:13Speaker 3: few weeks. You don't hold it off until we are dead.
- 13:15Speaker 3: That's when you hold it off.
- 13:16Speaker 2: That is such a great job, Pete. One of your
- 13:18Speaker 2: best performances ever. Thank you for this and.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Showing the bad movie because that woman last night. No,
- 13:23Speaker 3: I'll take it out on you, my god. Okay, here
- 13:27Speaker 3: you go.
