Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Like Peter King, for example. He can tell me just
- 0:02Speaker 1: about anything right now, and I'll believe him. Well with
- 0:06Speaker 1: good reason. You should be smart guy, and you know
- 0:10Speaker 1: did a great job in politics for so many years.
- 0:13Speaker 1: So let's welcome home in Pete. What do you think
- 0:16Speaker 1: you think my analysis on the Beato was U bear
- 0:18Speaker 1: this morning.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I just wish you would knock it off and speed
- 0:21Speaker 2: this up. I'm afraid he's gonna drop dead during this
- 0:23Speaker 2: interview and I'm gonna get cut up. I mean yeah,
- 0:26Speaker 2: I'm just thinking to myself, you know, I mean it
- 0:28Speaker 2: is uh. And by the way, if he if he
- 0:30Speaker 2: is getting better, and you listen to see your bs,
- 0:32Speaker 2: he's gonna have another heart.
- 0:36Speaker 1: He's fine. Thank god, we love him, you know. In
- 0:39Speaker 1: all seriousness, Peter, I put together a list this morning
- 0:42Speaker 1: of the people that fight mom, Donnie. You know a
- 0:45Speaker 1: lot of people that are wishy washy, and you'll want
- 0:47Speaker 1: of them, obviously, But the four that came to mind
- 0:49Speaker 1: right away with bodele Vicki, Palladino, Me and Scott Lobato's
- 0:54Speaker 1: out there every day. He was yelling and screaming. That's why,
- 0:58Speaker 1: that's why you collapse yesterday and this guy's made statues
- 1:02Speaker 1: and paintings. So if you really can't stand mom, Donnie,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you gotta give Scott Lebato a lot of credit.
- 1:08Speaker 2: No, I've never seen Scott not yelling and screaming or painting.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I mean, the guy never stops. I mean, he's he's
- 1:14Speaker 2: going to be. He was Eric Adams, his worst night man.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well you know you mentioned Eric. You mentioned
- 1:22Speaker 1: Eric Adams, and I know that the guy's upstairs like him,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and that's fine, it's okay. But I'm not here to,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you know, to tell people how much I like him.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I'm here to be honest. As you and I are speaking,
- 1:34Speaker 1: former mayor Eric Adams booed while promoting data centers in Wisconsin. Ironically,
- 1:40Speaker 1: as you and I are speaking, they're showing the video
- 1:42Speaker 1: right now on New York One of Eric Adams getting booed.
- 1:45Speaker 1: And I can't stand revisionist history. He is sandwiched in
- 1:50Speaker 1: between the two worst mayors ever. So he looks better
- 1:53Speaker 1: and better every day. But you remember listening to me
- 1:56Speaker 1: every day, Peter, and being on the show every week
- 1:59Speaker 1: those four years. It was a nightmare. It was a nightmare,
- 2:03Speaker 1: was it not?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Well, certainly the first three years well, And I actually
- 2:07Speaker 2: had high hopes for Eric Adams coming into it. I
- 2:10Speaker 2: thought he had the perfect credentials to turn the city around.
- 2:12Speaker 2: He had straightened out, he was saying all the right things,
- 2:15Speaker 2: and then the people he brought in with him in
- 2:17Speaker 2: those first three years, including in the police department, and
- 2:20Speaker 2: he had to me one of the best commissioners, eric
- 2:22Speaker 2: Keishaan Stewel. But those guys that are working up there
- 2:25Speaker 2: pushed around, they're all Eric Adams's people. You go down
- 2:29Speaker 2: the line, you know, having a welcome wagon out for
- 2:31Speaker 2: illegal immigrants coming in. I mean, really, the first three
- 2:34Speaker 2: years he did a terrible job. I thought he's straightened
- 2:36Speaker 2: out the fourth year, but the fact is it was
- 2:38Speaker 2: too late. And I personally, ever, I'm with him. He's
- 2:42Speaker 2: a nice guy to get along with, but he really,
- 2:44Speaker 2: to me, the worst thing about him is he missed
- 2:46Speaker 2: a great opportunity, not just for himself, of the city
- 2:49Speaker 2: of New York. It was ideal coming in after de Blasio.
- 2:52Speaker 2: He's an African American former cop. He could have gotten
- 2:55Speaker 2: a lot done and he chose not to for whatever reason.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And so yeah, we can't revise history. He really, except
- 3:04Speaker 2: for his fourth year, was not a good mayor at all.
- 3:06Speaker 1: The fourth year, you can make the argument Trump got involved,
- 3:09Speaker 1: he had home in here, he had you know that,
- 3:11Speaker 1: he got Jessica Tish and she helped out. So how
- 3:14Speaker 1: much should Eric really do? And my answer is not much.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I mean, I was contacted yesterday by this lovely young girl.
- 3:20Speaker 1: You don't remember a Peter. Her name is Genesis Familiar.
- 3:24Speaker 1: You remember her mom was a police officer, was murdered.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Of course, you know, so this girl, yeah, yes, And
- 3:32Speaker 1: for some reason, this girl lost me. I don't know why.
- 3:34Speaker 1: She reached out to me to tell me she's going
- 3:35Speaker 1: to law school. She made me cry, and she told
- 3:38Speaker 1: me a story about a guy that helped raise her
- 3:40Speaker 1: and her siblings after her mother was killed. His name
- 3:43Speaker 1: is actually Kevin Taylor, former NYPD inspector. He's another guy
- 3:48Speaker 1: that's going down with the ship. While Rick Adams is
- 3:51Speaker 1: making money and doing promotional tours and getting citizenship in
- 3:56Speaker 1: different countries. Everybody around him, they're balling like block good people,
- 4:01Speaker 1: good people. I'm sorry that pisces me off.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand that. And again, we can't revise history.
- 4:09Speaker 2: The factors they were real mistakes made, intentional, unintentional whatever,
- 4:13Speaker 2: the fact is, the job was not done those first
- 4:16Speaker 2: three years. In some ways things are made worse again.
- 4:19Speaker 2: You think you're now the whole welcome wagon. I'm greeting
- 4:22Speaker 2: all these illegal immigrants, giving him the Roosevelt Hotel and
- 4:24Speaker 2: on down the line. That really is is almost irreversible
- 4:28Speaker 2: harm which caused by that, you know, the gangs they
- 4:30Speaker 2: come in from Venezuela. All of that to me is
- 4:33Speaker 2: really unfortunately attributable to Eric Adams. And again, if I
- 4:37Speaker 2: show up tomorrow, he's a nice guy. I get loan
- 4:39Speaker 2: with them, beat them. We can't revise history.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Thank you very much. That's why I love you, Pete.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I'm being serious because you tell the truth and you're smart.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Let me play this for you. You know this guy, Peter,
- 4:48Speaker 1: his name is Giovanni Gallante. This goes back to a
- 4:51Speaker 1: week ago, the conversation I had. He's the guy that
- 4:54Speaker 1: started the petition to keep Momdannie away from the Freedom Tower.
- 4:58Speaker 1: The morning came on my show, we had fourteen one
- 5:00Speaker 1: thousand signatures. Now he's got almost ninety thousand. Cut number
- 5:04Speaker 1: two though, Giovanni Galante, and he's a man that started
- 5:08Speaker 1: this petition. I'm on board one hundred percent to keep
- 5:10Speaker 1: the mayor away from the nine to eleven commemoration memorial
- 5:17Speaker 1: service coming up this year twenty five years. What is
- 5:19Speaker 1: your message if he's listening right now, and if he's not,
- 5:22Speaker 1: it will get to him. What is your message to
- 5:25Speaker 1: mom Donni?
- 5:27Speaker 3: We respectfully just asked that he stay away. We don't
- 5:31Speaker 3: want the publicity, we don't want the circus, we don't
- 5:35Speaker 3: want any of that. This is a day, like I
- 5:38Speaker 3: said before, all of us get together and we go
- 5:41Speaker 3: honor the people that were murdered. That's it. It's a
- 5:44Speaker 3: simple one. I'm not asking for anything huge. You know,
- 5:49Speaker 3: he doesn't have to be there. He knows that, we
- 5:51Speaker 3: know that. But obviously we'll see what happens. There's nothing
- 5:57Speaker 3: we could do other than just ask for people to
- 5:59Speaker 3: sign up.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Petitian, what do you think of what Giovanni had to say.
- 6:02Speaker 2: That Peter, I totally understand. I do not think Mendomie
- 6:06Speaker 2: should be there. I think he is a person who
- 6:08Speaker 2: iss anyone who does not deserve and is that the
- 6:11Speaker 2: right to be there? It's Mendoni. The only concern said
- 6:14Speaker 2: that I said this last week is that to me,
- 6:16Speaker 2: that is such a reverential day. I go always go
- 6:19Speaker 2: to at least two or three nine eleven commemorations. Rosemary
- 6:22Speaker 2: and I go to a Holyrood cemetery every year for
- 6:28Speaker 2: Michael Boyle and others who had died at nine to eleven.
- 6:30Speaker 2: To me, what bothers me at all now is that
- 6:33Speaker 2: this guy is getting all this publicity. I know, I
- 6:36Speaker 2: know your argument. I'm not gonna got any of your
- 6:38Speaker 2: saying or anything. Anyone who signs a petitition fine, I
- 6:41Speaker 2: just wish we could do it. I hope we could
- 6:42Speaker 2: do it in a way where he's kept away, but
- 6:45Speaker 2: he doesn't dominate the conversation between now and then. That's all.
- 6:49Speaker 2: His name can't even be mentioned in connections with a
- 6:50Speaker 2: nine to eleven. So I understand the position of those
- 6:53Speaker 2: who have to signed a petition. I'm not going to
- 6:55Speaker 2: oppose it in any way. S I wouldn't oppose it.
- 6:57Speaker 2: He should not be there, I will say loud, and
- 6:59Speaker 2: should not be there. I just hope that doesn't dominate
- 7:02Speaker 2: the entire conversation. I want to think of all the
- 7:04Speaker 2: people I knew would kill at nine eleven. Sure that
- 7:07Speaker 2: this guy out of the city.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Well, that's my fear. Foster that's my feer is that
- 7:11Speaker 1: when he's there, he's going to get all the attention,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and I don't want that. I agree with you. I
- 7:15Speaker 1: think we made big news this morning when your friend
- 7:18Speaker 1: and mine, the great Bruce Blakeman, who is going to win,
- 7:20Speaker 1: he will be the next governor. When he said he
- 7:22Speaker 1: said it right now on this show, I should say,
- 7:25Speaker 1: about thirty minutes ago, he said that the families should
- 7:29Speaker 1: do what the cops did to build the Blasio and
- 7:32Speaker 1: turn their backs. I didn't know that Bruce Blakeman's nephew,
- 7:36Speaker 1: so he's a victim here. His nephew was murdered. Yes,
- 7:40Speaker 1: he told us that story. So you know he's even
- 7:44Speaker 1: saying we should turn our backs. That's pretty big news.
- 7:48Speaker 1: What do you think about that?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yeah? I guess we say again, I'm not saying believe me,
- 7:52Speaker 2: I don't want him there. I just hope we now
- 7:55Speaker 2: nine to eleven and we don't talk about him every day,
- 7:57Speaker 2: And I don't know how to get out of it.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Because he's there, he's creating it. So the onus is
- 8:01Speaker 2: on him totally. I will say loudly and clearly, he
- 8:04Speaker 2: does not belong there on nine to eleven. What Bruce
- 8:06Speaker 2: is saying, Bruce, this has had a much from an
- 8:09Speaker 2: impact on Bruce than people realize. Over the years, he
- 8:12Speaker 2: was very close to his nephew. He was a very
- 8:14Speaker 2: brave court office army veteran, and Bruce is very close
- 8:17Speaker 2: to his sisters. So this was really really family for Bruce.
- 8:21Speaker 2: So I understand Fullywood Bruce. I understand. I support Bruce,
- 8:24Speaker 2: and he's doing the right thing, and I just wish
- 8:27Speaker 2: and dom he could find it within himself. I know
- 8:29Speaker 2: it's tough for him to do the right thing for
- 8:32Speaker 2: once and stay away from nine to eleven.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I'm sure you weren't Bill. Donnie who earlier too at
- 8:36Speaker 1: the head of the Catholic League.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Great, and he's a character.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Listening you, Misa, if you watch you, guys are very similar,
- 8:41Speaker 1: both very smart, great passionate man. And you know he
- 8:44Speaker 1: told the whole story. Man, it's not just about the Jews.
- 8:47Speaker 1: It's not just the whiny israel first advocate yelling anti
- 8:51Speaker 1: Sumid old Day, said Rosenberg. He listed every group, and
- 8:54Speaker 1: there were a lot of groups, and a lot of functions,
- 8:56Speaker 1: and a lot of breakfasts and a lot of barades
- 8:58Speaker 1: and all that Donnie has disrespected so many people and
- 9:05Speaker 1: again just hanging out and publicly saying I love us
- 9:09Speaker 1: on Piker and Chevalier and clerics who are co conspirators
- 9:13Speaker 1: in the ninety three World Trade Center bombing and all
- 9:16Speaker 1: these horrible people that he surrounds himself with his own wife,
- 9:20Speaker 1: who's a wretched, vile creature. I mean, what more proof
- 9:24Speaker 1: do you need? This guy's the worst guy. Maybe not
- 9:27Speaker 1: the you know, we've had a lot of corrupt guys
- 9:29Speaker 1: we have, include the last guy corrupt. We've had people
- 9:32Speaker 1: that were bad Bill de Blasio. This is the worst
- 9:35Speaker 1: person I think we've had his mayor maybe ever.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well he has done as far as
- 9:41Speaker 2: associating with people or Islamis, people who are involved in
- 9:45Speaker 2: the first World Trade Center Bama, those who s imported
- 9:48Speaker 2: nine to eleven and in fact did might say, you know,
- 9:52Speaker 2: the United States had a coming, Americans deserved it. All
- 9:54Speaker 2: that type. It's terrible the thought that he would be
- 9:58Speaker 2: anywhere near nine to eleven. So I fully agree on that.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I just hope we can do it in a way
- 10:02Speaker 2: that we don't be talking about him between now nine eleven.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So many people I liked rather talk about or think
- 10:07Speaker 2: about who were killed, and I know how how terrible
- 10:10Speaker 2: I was, so but again you're doing I'm not in
- 10:13Speaker 2: any way just wear what you're doing. I just what
- 10:16Speaker 2: drives me crazy is that we you and I even
- 10:19Speaker 2: have to talk about that. I know, I know, when
- 10:21Speaker 2: there's so many good people like you know, uh Brush's
- 10:23Speaker 2: nephew and so many good friends were all at and
- 10:26Speaker 2: in the fact that that guy is interjecting himself just
- 10:29Speaker 2: by his presence into the whole nine eleven discussion. It
- 10:32Speaker 2: should be all about prayers and thoughts for those who
- 10:36Speaker 2: died that day or were killed that day, not this
- 10:38Speaker 2: guy who was a total fraud. And it's told it's
- 10:40Speaker 2: great to the city or the.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Day before you're going to go down to the Booklyn
- 10:44Speaker 1: Cyclone Stadium because you know your buddy John Stewart is
- 10:48Speaker 1: holding a big event with Pete Davidson who lost his
- 10:51Speaker 1: father on nine to eleven at the Gardon that Friday
- 10:53Speaker 1: night's yeah, Friday night.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Yeah. I was just at cycled the stadium recently for
- 11:00Speaker 2: nine eleven of Men. I have a series that week
- 11:03Speaker 2: I'm doing down the ground zero and I think at
- 11:05Speaker 2: uh uh Man Sinai Hospital, certainly a nine eleven of
- 11:09Speaker 2: selfish three days, they said, Roseman, I always go to
- 11:12Speaker 2: the cemetery that day. I don't think I've been invited
- 11:15Speaker 2: to the one or two temper. I don't know. I
- 11:16Speaker 2: mean that whole week. I'm just blocking out for nothing
- 11:19Speaker 2: but nine to eleven.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Yeah, as you should. You're you're a legitimate I know
- 11:22Speaker 1: you're gonna you're a humble guy, and you like to
- 11:24Speaker 1: make jokes and you're a funny guy. But you're a
- 11:26Speaker 1: legitimate nine eleven hero. You've done just amazing things all
- 11:29Speaker 1: these year since, So you should be invited to everything.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I mean that you should be invited to everything all
- 11:34Speaker 1: the way out. I'd be a miss President Trump. We're
- 11:37Speaker 1: gonna hammer them. We're gonna hammer them, not yet. So
- 11:41Speaker 1: what do you think of the latest decision by Trump
- 11:43Speaker 1: not to hammer Iran?
- 11:46Speaker 2: He has to do it or not do it. I mean,
- 11:48Speaker 2: it's right now, he's losing his credibility with his foreign leaders,
- 11:51Speaker 2: who we have to first all, we have to keep
- 11:53Speaker 2: people on our side, suckingly, we got to scare the enemy,
- 11:55Speaker 2: and we're really not doing either right now. And if
- 11:58Speaker 2: he has to go ahead, go ahead and do it,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and really you can't stop here after a few days
- 12:02Speaker 2: because some guy in Iran says he wants to do
- 12:06Speaker 2: a pizzaug from Steve Whitcop or something. I mean, the
- 12:08Speaker 2: fact is we have to go if we're gonna if
- 12:11Speaker 2: it doesn't happen in the next twenty four to forty
- 12:12Speaker 2: eight hours, go all out and do whatever has to
- 12:15Speaker 2: be done and end it. And again I got back
- 12:19Speaker 2: to this whole thing. It can't be Jadvents, it can't
- 12:21Speaker 2: be Steve Whitcop. We have to have real people in
- 12:23Speaker 2: there who believe in the cause, who are not apologetics
- 12:27Speaker 2: and not trying to be isolate this. We need the
- 12:29Speaker 2: Marco Rubio types. And we also need more influence coming
- 12:34Speaker 2: in from the military. They know where the targets are,
- 12:36Speaker 2: go after them. And also we can't be influenced by
- 12:39Speaker 2: the Saudis. I mean, they're the most eight miral people
- 12:41Speaker 2: in the world. They will go whoever's gonna win, So
- 12:44Speaker 2: we got to convince them we're gonna win.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Peter King, You're amazing as always, another very special appearance, Buddy.
