Peter King | Former Congressman Previews Tuesday's Consequential Midterm Election Day · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Peter King. Peter, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I'm doing fine. Just coming down to the wire, though.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: We got just a few days to go, and I
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: hate to be a doomsday guy, but if we don't
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: win this Tuesday, it's going to be a long time
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: before we can ever get the state back again. I'm
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: doing all I can for Bruce Blakeman for governor, Janine
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Driscoll for Congress, all the Republican candidates. As you were saying,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I was never that partisan a guy per se. You
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: find good people in both parties. Today, unfortunately, except for
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the smallest handful, the Democrats have gone way off the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: deep end. Republicans represent real traditional Americans. And we got
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to get out. We can't be listening to the polls.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We can't let People will be feeling sorry for themselves
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday morning because I didn't bother voting. You've got
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to get out. You've got to stop the BSing. Just
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: do it. Get the vote out. Get your friends out.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Because if everyone who believes in Bruce Wakeman's values votes,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: he's going to win. The only way Kathy Hochul can
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: win is if enough good people stay home. So all
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm telling is everybody listening to the show, if you're
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: with Bruce, If you have a dream, if you have
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: any of the Republicans on the ballot, get yourself out
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: there and vote. Don't just talk about it the next day.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: The exact message I sent out last night. You're a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: good buddy. I know you love him. He loves you, too.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Tom Sullivan at his event. I said the same thing.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Great guy. We're outnumbered. Dramatically. Dramatically. We got to all vote.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Every Republican. You know, I would tell you, Peter, to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: go move to North Carolina with your beautiful daughter, Erin.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But it looks like Roy Cooper is going to win.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And he's no good either. He's another horrible Democrat.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Now, here's the other way. I've been talking to my daughter,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and they're expecting some real trouble down in North Carolina.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: There's a few Republican members of Congress who are in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: trouble down there as far as the election. But again,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: there's no reason why there should be. If you line
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: up the issues where people stand here in New York,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I would say on nine out of ten of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: key issues, a solid majority of people would stand with
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. So how any of those people, for instance,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: who support the cops, how do they vote for Kathy Hochul?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Those people who think that illegal immigrants shouldn't be getting
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the best hotel rooms and e-bikes all out. The thing is,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: vote for Bruce Blakman. How could you vote for Kathy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Holcomb with the cops? I mean, Bruce stood with the cops.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: He's a true, loyal supporter of the police. Kathy Holcomb
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: was all over the place and hanging out with Mandami.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Just being with Mandami means you're anti-cop.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: 100%. And, you know, Bruce runs the safest county in America.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It's a big county. It's bigger than, like, five or
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: six states. He's got a great guy in Pat Ryder.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Not just anti-cop, but to your point, I love it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: when people go to me, Kathy Holcomb, man, she cares
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: about the Jews. Oh, okay. Hold on a second. Her
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and stupid Letitia James, they care about the Jews. Wait
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a second. You just said it. If you're palling around,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and she actually likes him. I know she's afraid of him.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I know she is. But she actually likes Mom Donnie.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: If you're palling around with him, he hates cops and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he hates Jews. How could you possibly, possibly care about
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the Jewish people, talk about fighting anti-Semitism, and hang out
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with maybe the biggest raging anti-Semite in politics today? How
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: could that be?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I'm not Jewish, but I do know
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: over the years, certainly ever since the end of World
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: War II and all the time that I've been in politics,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: whenever there was a hint of anti-Semitism anywhere, people in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: both parties everywhere come out to condemn it. Never thinking
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that the mayor of New York in the city where
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: 9-11 happened would be enabling pro-Hamas demonstrators who would be
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: accusing Israel of genocide. I mean, the country that came
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to fruition after the horrible Holocaust, World War II, We
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: calling that country's genocide. As you said, what other country
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in the world has 19 Arabs elected to its parliament?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't find any parliament anywhere where you're
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: going to find that many Arabs in the area and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a quote unquote Jewish nation, a Jewish state. And yet
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they have enough freedom to allow 19 Arabs to be elected.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: This is, I tell you, they show so much more
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: tolerance there toward the Arabs than Mandami does toward the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Jews in New York.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Well said. That's a good one, Pete. I like that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And all those Arab nations, you know, there's like 40
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: or 50 of them. They'll never be a Jew in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the government. But the apartheid Israel state, they've got Arabs
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: all over the place in their government. And it made
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: my heart warm. I think you agree with me that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Bibi won. He didn't get to 61. He can't form
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: his government yet, but he won. He beat the opposition.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: He beat the Arabs. He's going to stay as the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: prime minister if they do another election. I believe he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: got the best chance to win again. So for all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the hate, right, everybody hates Bibi. They hate Bibi in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: New York, and everybody in Israel hates Bibi. And I've
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: been telling people, shut up. You have no idea what
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, okay? He's won five of the last
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: six elections, and he won again, and it wasn't even
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that close. He beat Eisenkot by like six seats. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: if everybody that keeps telling me everybody hates Bibi, like
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: everybody hates Trump, the beauty about both of those guys, Peter,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is they are both the most beloved figures in the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: history of their countries and also the most despised. That's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: for both Trump and Bibi. But they win. And I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: know you agree with me. Thank God Bibi stays in power, yes?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, Israel elects whoever it wants to.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: That's their business. But as an American, I'm so glad
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they picked Netanyahu. He is the best they can have
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for the United States. I mean, he is, to me,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the strongest ally we've had. He's an ally in the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Middle East, which is the most dangerous and important part
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of the world right now. And he is, again, stands
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: shoulder to shoulder with us. And during the years that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I was on the Intelligence Committee and Homeland Security Committee,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we dealt with Israel so closely. I mean, they are
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: true partners, true partners fighting evil forces. And there are
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: evil forces. These are territorial fights in one country, once
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit of another. This is really for the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: survival of Western civilization. The war has begun in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Middle East. It's going to come here. We see what's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: going on in London. We see what's going on in Paris.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Now you can see what's going on in Italy. We
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: see what's happening here in the streets of New York.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So we've got to wake up. We've got to wake up.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We've got to really... I'm not just saying this as
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a Republican. Believe me, I'd be the first guy out
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: supporting Ed Conrad, Joe Lieberman, Fetterman. And not just because
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they're Jewish, but because they're Americans. They're Americans who realize
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that we have an evil enemy out there, and we've
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: got to stand up to it. It's not politics as usual.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It's not who's going to get the next job or
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: get the next contract. It's really fighting for our way
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of life, and it's on the line this year. It is,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and Bruce is carrying the banner. I mean, he's everywhere.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I was with him several times this week. I don't
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: know how the guy does it. I get tired of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: driving his 11 down to Washington State. He's up in
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Schenectady and Syracuse.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He's done a great job. He's done a great job.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: There's no question. But the polls came out yesterday, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: he's down double digits. He's on a poll. He's down
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: double digits. Quinnipiac poll. I don't care. I think he's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: going to win. I hope he's going to win.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That was Netanyahu.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. That's right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Trump, nobody thought on Election Day 2016. Donald Trump had
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a chance. I mean, the Republicans were already bailing out
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: at that time, and the fact is he won. There
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: is a vote there, but those people who are for
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Bruce and for Janine and for all of our candidates,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: they've got to get out. And the polls, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: they do oversample. I would say the polls I'm aware of,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the internal polls, it's probably still like a three-point race.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: If you're the challenger... And you've cut the lead to three,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and there's five days to go or four days to go,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: whatever we have now. You've got to get out there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And Bruce is doing what he has to do. It's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: up to us to do our part of it. You
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on the radio, me everywhere I can go. Joe Cairo
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is everywhere. The guy is doing a phenomenal job. Janine
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Driscoll is just throwing us over into the ground, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: she keeps going strong. And I was with.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Uh a number of really top top republicans the other
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: day and they really think this is the best chance
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: we've had to really score score points with the american
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: people to uh really let them know uh you know
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: what what we stand for and bruce is a great
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: standard bearer here in new york and he really is
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: is the guy to do it i hope so.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I think you're right i know you're right i know
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he's terrific and he's a better candidate by a mile
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's not even close but You know, again, this state
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is a bunch of Democrat lunatics. That's the bottom line.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about this story that Miranda Devine
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: put out there today. Five girls, five, have been raped.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Raped in Central Park this year. This year. Not over
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: five years.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Five.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, some guy dragged a girl off Fifth Avenue
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: at night point and raped her in Central Park. And yet, yet,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: there's a class action settlement that pays criminals, criminals... $ 36 million,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and there are people who are going to vote for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Letitia James over Saritha?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What has Letitia James done to make us safer? What?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: There are girls getting raped in Central Park again, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we're paying criminals, and she's worried about what President Trump
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is doing. This is nuts, Peter.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Saritha. There's a star who has really emerged.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, she is brilliant. She's articulate. We had a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: massive rally the other night in Nassau County. And when
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: she first came around several months ago, people here said, well,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: she's a nice person. Now people are running up doing
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: photos with her, shaking hands with her, asking for autographs.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's really made an impact. And compare her.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: She's so good, and Lucisha James is so bad. That
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: shouldn't even be a choice. I mean, God, Serena is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: head and shoulders over her. I was trying to say
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the other night, we had Marty Lyons, the great whole thing.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Just a phenomenal guy. He was out there. He was
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: huge with Janine, with Bruce, just saying how important it is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: He's saying this as a guy who's been a superstar,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: an all-star. He is a nervous guy when it comes
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to what's happening across the state and our country.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's a great guy, part of that New
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: York Jet SAC exchange. Can you name the other three,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Peter King?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I guess, you know, Clarko. Yes. And who's the other?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So I got... You got it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You just said it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Salaam. I'm doing salaam.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You actually died. Okay, there you go.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: You got it. Good job out of you. Marty is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a great guy. Marty Lyons and raises a lot of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: money for charitable causes. So I'm curious, Peter, because I've
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: been invited, obviously, by Bruce Tuesday night, Laura Tuesday night,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: two or three other people. Odds are I'll be at
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Lennon in Eisenhower Park with Bruce and you guys. You'll
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: be there on Tuesday night, yes?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'll be there. Listen, it's going to be an exciting night.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Joe Cairo has been coordinating. He's coordinating like 25 different
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: campaigns in Nassau County, coordinating Bruce's statewide campaign, and even
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: just the basics of an election night event. Atlanta, he
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: coordinates that from beginning to end, who's going to speak,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: how it's going to happen, who's going to be sitting where,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: where the press is going to be, where the numbers
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: are going to be coming in. And you're going to see,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: because we just have, we have Bruce's campaign. We also
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: have over 20 county legislative seats. We have town supervisors.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: The Democrats changed the law this year, really to affect
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Nassau and Suffolk, that all of these local elections, basically
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the county legislature and town supervisors, who ran an odd
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: number of years, because they did so well in Nassau
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and Suffolk, they changed the law. It doesn't apply in
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: New York City, but it applies to Nassau and Suffolk.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: We have to run them again. So they get elected.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: last year for a two-year term, but now they have
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to run again. So we have all those elections coming up,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: because that's because we've been doing so well out here.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The Democrats know what they're doing. The Democrats don't make mistakes.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: People say, oh, Mazzotti made a mistake. No, he knows
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: exactly what he's doing. And she knew exactly what she
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: was doing. Even Newsday was against it, changing the law.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So we have now, our election is so long, our candidates,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that when you go in the voting booth, you've got
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to vote on both sides. It's going to be a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: two-sided page. We have so many candidates this year because
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: we had to put so many races up. Cairo has
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to run all those, coordinate all those, raise funds for
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: all those, plus support Bruce for governor, Janine, Michael Petri.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be a busy night. You're going
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to see it there. I mean, on television, it looks
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: like funny games. Behind the scenes, you're going to see
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of attention, a lot of hard work. and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of no-nonsense.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to it, and looking forward to seeing you too, Peter.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You do such a great job for us every week.
