Peter King | Former Congressman | 07-01-26 · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I want you to know, Peter, when I have these discussions,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: whether it's Brian Kilmead or Fox News on Sunday, I'm
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: not patronizing you, but I think about you because that's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: how much I respect your foreign policy, your international intelligence.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But it comes to all these issues. We've had a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: big fight one time about Ukraine and Russia. But the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: truth is, at least on my program, you know as much,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: if not more than anyone. And you've hurt me for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a while now being pretty critical of the man I love,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: maybe more than anybody, President Trump, because whether it's Iran,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: how he deals with Israel, how he deals with BB
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I don't love what I'm saying. And I got people
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the station telling me, I said, you don't get it.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I think I do get it. Peter King, what do you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Think, Offesso? Army wish my son Shawn a happy birthday?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yet he is a great guy, great Sean.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I love your kids, Sean.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I love him, and he loves the same musical groups
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that me and Lewis love.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We love that about Sean.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And he also loves to fill up your flyers. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: there's something wrong? Can I tell you? As probably President Trump,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I think there are some basic overall problems where it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: approach to foreign policy. It's not a real estate deal.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: These issues are complicated, and when you're dealing with Iran,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: you can't expect to go in and win the war overnight.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: There's no such thing as an easy war. That's certainly
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the case when you're facing a country of ninety million
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: people and it's rule by fanatics. This isn't like Venezuela,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: but you have a few gangses at the top, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: if you remove them, the problem is removed. This is
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: an embedded issue that's been there for decades, in some
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: cases centuries, and I think if you're going to do that,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you have to first of all, get the American people
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: on your side. But I fully support it going after Iran,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, But if you're going to do that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I think you should put more effort into get in
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Congress on his side. Telling American people is not going
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to be easy. Don't say because the stock market's doing
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: well or the four one ks are doing well, that
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: it's going to go well. It's not. The average person
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: out there is hurting, and I think the people should
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: be more supportive of the war. But I understand why
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: they're not because the president didn't mobilize them, didn't tell
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: them that sacrifices may be needed. Also, allies can drive
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you crazy, so called allies, including NATO, But you have
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to find a way early on to at least get
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: them on your side partially. For instance, he went into
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the warring and a Ram without even telling anyone in
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: NATO about it, and then we could have used their
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: mind sweepers. We could have used that, and Reagan had
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: trouble even with Tatra. But somehow a leader has to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: get as much behind them and then go forward. I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: not seeking a good principles. So it's a complicated world. Also,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know what which Coppe is doing in Ukraine,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: what he's doing in the Middle least, they have no
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: concept of the historical that he's not Henry kissing people
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in there who are in this for the long haul.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And we're going to tell the American people. This could
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: be tough, but it's worth it. Here's why I think
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: it's absolutely essential that we take away Iran's nuclear weapons.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: But then when things aren't going well, be honest with
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: the American people. Otherwise people start to lose faith and
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the whole war effort can get down. So anyway, that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But overall, Donald Trump's done a great job.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: But it's certainly less what he did last summer going
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: into Iran. That was brilliant, Venezuela, brilliant. The pressure on
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Cuba really makes a lot of sense. But you can't
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: cut off all your allies, as difficult as they can
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: be to deal with, find ways to use pressure to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: get them on your side, beause arts when you need them.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: We need them now in them in the Middle East
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to how we went into that war without knowing the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: only real weapon that Iran has is the straight up
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: our moves, and we've given it to them and now
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: they can do that whenever they want, yep, And that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the that's the problem. And to keep saying that we're
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: bombing them, that they don't really care that much unless
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: we go all out right, well, we gotta we got
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to be claim the straits we have. If you have
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to use NATO to do it, use ourselves. We can't
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: allow these fanatical molars to be controlled the world's economy.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And Peter could be both.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, I am here to say that President
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Trump I still believe is the best president ever. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: know you people think I'm crazy. He b Lincoln and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan and Democrats.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They hear that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: They think I belong in an insane as Solomon. Maybe
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I do, but what do you do believe that? But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it could be both. He could be the greatest everyone
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: at the same time not doing a great job, especially
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: like you just talked about communicating when it comes to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the Iran warp. Finish the damn job. If you're gonna
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: start it, finish it. Stop telling me about economic indicators.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Finish the damn job. It could be both. He could
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: still be great, but not hitting a home run with
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this effort, right.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, And also you have to stand with your allies.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: We have neither had a better rally than Israel or
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: BB net Yahoo and now in things shots he goes
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: out a bit. Now he's taking shots in Net Yahoo. Well,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we still saying good things about Mandomie, still saying good
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: things about Putin, still saying good things about g and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: yet the one ally we had, no matter what that's
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: we're thinking that is bb that Yao and Israel and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: actually all the leaders in Israel, especially that Yao, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: they are really the only country in the Middle East
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we can truly count on. And when other countries in there,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: those Arab states, if they see us backing away from Israel, God,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: if he's backing away from Israel, is you're really going
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to stick with Cantivers, You're really going to steal with
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: stick with the Uas, you really want to stick with
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the Saudeast. Now I have no great regard to any
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of those countries, but the only way you're going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: keep them on your side and have them available in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: time of need is if they see that you're loyal
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to your allies. And you're probably loyal to them, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: so you do it by fear, intimidation or whatever. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: if they see us backing away from Israel, or even
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: after he meets from fee he says walking away from Taiwan,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: you can't. You can't be giving up your allies. You
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: have to stand firm. That's what Reagan did, That's in
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: many ways what Roosevelt did. We can go down the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: whole list, but you have to you have to show
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: that you believe in something and you believe in allies,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and no matter what happens in the Middle East, understand
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: with Israel, not saying I'm Siria, I'm Seria. Take on hezbolah, come.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: On, say ridiculous serious God, no, no army.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So what do you think about Russia and Ukrainian I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, Pete. I mean, like, uh, in five years,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we'll be having the same conversation. Are you surprised that's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: gone on this long?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised. I really get it. This is where we've disagreed.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I think the Ukraine has made a valiant effort. I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: nobody ever would have thought.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We don't disagree. No, no, no, no, we don't disagree.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They made a valiant effort. They have embarrassed, they've embarrassed Putin.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: All I've said all along is they can't win because
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of attrition, because the Russians have more people, more weaponry,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and more money. So eventually, whether it's a year, five years,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or ten years, the Russians may suffer a ton of casualties,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and they are, and Ukraine may put up an incredible
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: fight and they are. But there's no realistic path to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian win, is all I've said.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Well, there is. If the United States and Europe sticks
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: with Ukraine, I think they can force Russia into submission.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Not that they're going to be defeated per se, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: they will make a deal which is in everyone's benefit,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: especially Ukraine. If you can't expect Ukraine. Remember this is
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: back centuries, That's what I'm saying. There's a history of
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: all these things. There's no way the Ukrainian people, after
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: all this, are going to make these great concessions to Russia,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: which will just mean that Russia is going to take
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: over the country. That's why when they had that explosion
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: in the Oval office, when Zelensky said to JD Evans,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: who I'm not crazy about that. You know, we have
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to have some security forces to guarantee that there is
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: an agreement, Russia is not going to violate it. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: then of course, you know, events went crazy, yelling at
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: uh Zelenski. The fact is that the Ukraine, whether Ukraine,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: any of these countries, and any of them many of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: their wrong histories. And if Russia does win, it does
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: take over Ukraine, then they're going to have influence in Poland,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: They're gonna have influence in the countries like France and
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Germany and others are gonna steale r county. He's more
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: short Russia. So I think if ukraineer's willing to fight,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: it's not for us to tell him that they can't fight,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: since they're fighting for the same cause we're fighting for.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: H it's true. Well, let's get to New York City.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, what a terrible story in your county
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: about this guy.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: This is terrible.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He met his wife and his sister in law on
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the same day. I think it was back in twenty sixteen,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and according to reports, he married the sister. But he
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: always had this really odd fascination with the sister in law.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And it turns out that he calls her. He says, listen,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I need help moving a piano. She comes over, He
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: comes up from behind her, he attacks her, He rapes
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: her I think he raped when she was alive and dead,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: strangles her to death. I mean, look, you guys are
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the safest county in the world thanks to people like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you and Cairo and Bruce and Ryder and Ann Donnelley,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all those great people. But you've got some of the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: weirdest and nastiest crimes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: This is a horrible story.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely horrible. My understanding is that after he completed
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: all his horror he calmly called the police and basically uh.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Shown himself in he did.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very calmly though, you know, like you said, I
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: don't know if you can describe that to Nationville County
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: or just too always going to be some wacos in
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: uh human nature.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: But I have to now make a concession to you.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: He only lives about a mile or so away from
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the Gilgo murderers. Something in the water out there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Wait, he's in massive Peak with two.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah after North Mesipeak.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, So you got the Gilgo killer. You've
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: got this maniac and Brian kill me?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Right, and they're both constituents of mine, right and up
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the tree to me, Brian kill me. It is the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: most dangerous person in that whole area.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But oh my god, how is my girl Jenne risk
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: of doing.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: She's doing fine, and she's really doing well. She had
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: a big fundraiser last night. She's really uh, she's working hard.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: And that race is one which I think is gonna
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: be under the radar for a while, but I expect
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Janine to win. She's what everyone wants in the candidate.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: She's honest, she's hard working, she's from the neighborhood, She's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a regular per and yet extremely intelligent. She's a big lawyer.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: She's arguing facing before the United States Gord of Appeals.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: She's elected official, but elected twice as received of taxes.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And you know people say, received for taxes, what's the
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: big deal. That's what al Demado was. That's how he
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: started his career as received for taxes. Don Clayvin who
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: became the supervisor later he was the receiver of taxes.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And since she keeps positioning, you're dealing with people all
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the time. You have your finger on the pulse. She's
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: got a great family as the son of the NYPD.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: And I told you the only negative mark is one
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of her sons, who was a football player, broke Joe
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Cairo's collar bonus something when Joe was roughing again and
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: they collided. Yeah, and Joe didn't know that. You know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: he was nominated Jodanova. He didn't later on put him in.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Oh that's funny.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And the other guy, Michae la Petrie was in these
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: studios just two days ago, Monday morning, my first day back,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: La Petrie was here and he on even lost by
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: three points last time to Tom Swazi. So there's a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: reason to believe that I'll do even better this time,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and if he does, he's gonna win.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael Petrie, that was the RaSE two years ago.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: For the most part, we overlooked it. We're really focusing
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: on Anthony Esposito. That was all the effort, and Mike
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: was looking Pondres as a guy who was almost like
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: filling in making the race and then an election. I
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: got it us what two and a half points at
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: three points he lost by so No. The feeling is
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: that with a concerted effort, and he's a hard worker,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he's everywhere's he's all over the place, and he got
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of help in Vicky Paladino and Queens and
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: of course so Cairo carried it in the Nassau County,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Jesse gots here and in Suffolk. But Mike does it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: He's a hard worker, he's out there, and I think
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: he's gonna win. I certainly think Janeta is going to win.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: And Bruce is going to run extremely well on Long Island.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I've seen poles where he's doing exceptionally well on Long
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Island and he's going to I still believe strongly Bruce
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is going to be our next governor. But I just
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: wish Republicans would stop saying he should be doing this,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he should be doing that. Believe me, he's doing everything.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: He's working at it, and we don't need the naysays
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: making excuses. He was. He's right now, closer to hope
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and he's Eldan was four years ago and the Lee
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: only lost by six points. Bruce can make that up,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and not easily. We can certainly make it up at
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: this stage against lower courage. He was a very popular
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: county executive. He was further behind than he is now.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: So he's going everywhere and he's building up support and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: he's running really in any ways, a different type campaign.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: He's appealing to all different groups and organizations. He's in
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: every community. Follow him on Facebook, He's every upstate county,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: he's all over New York City. So Carol can be
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the meeting. Last week we had all of the local
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Republican elected, the fifth shows and leaders, community leaders in
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the room. Bruce has his support. He's going to do it,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and I think all of us, hopefully when Bruce becomes
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: governor him with bias the love of ball, Yes, want
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to forget about us, you know you want to.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Say not Bruce, and I agree with you. I get
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: that too. From a publicans.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, he's not in Utica enough, he's not
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in Syracuse enough. Shut up, He's in those places all
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the time. You're clearly not following what he does on
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a daily basis. He's actually done an amazing job. Still
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: doing a great job as a Nashau County executive right
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and also campaigning for governor. But of course he is
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: set up to succeed with people like you and Joe
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and all the fine folks in Nashau County around him.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: As always. Pete King, amazing job. I love you. Thank
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you so much.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Oh you got his graduations at the Hall of Fame.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Peter. And happy birthday to Shaw and your son.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He's a great kid. We love him here too, so
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: thank you buddy.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Pete King right there. Happy birthday to Sean King, who's
