00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.189
Peter King is on because he's a good man. He's
2
00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:06.480
actually a great man. And he knows he's smart. He
3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.119
worked with Homeland Security, worked for the better part of
4
00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:12.119
four decades with Congress. He knows the good guys from
5
00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.939
the bad guys, okay? And he knows this is not
6
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.570
a two-sided story. One side got attacked and continues to
7
00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:22.629
get attacked every day. Maybe now it's the media or
8
00:00:22.649 --> 00:00:26.030
the morons, but it's Israel. They're the victims. That's it.
9
00:00:26.629 --> 00:00:27.629
Peter King, good morning.
10
00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:31.280
How are you? Good morning, Sid. It's a sad day, though.
11
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.539
I mean, three years ago today, to show you how
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.520
wrong I was, I thought if anything positive comes out
13
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.259
of this, now the whole world will know that Israel
14
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:44.929
is right, Hamas is wrong, Iran is wrong. Instead, within
15
00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:47.049
two or three days, the whole thing turned against Israel.
16
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:51.310
It's really shameful, and it's really a commentary on the
17
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:54.350
moral state of people in the United States, people around
18
00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:57.609
the world, certainly those phony Europeans. We can go up
19
00:00:57.649 --> 00:01:00.789
and down the list here. It's really terrible. I never thought, again,
20
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:03.259
you know, you study the Holocaust, you study all of
21
00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:06.230
Jewish persecution over the centuries, and you figure, well, that's
22
00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:10.140
all behind us. And now, certainly, after October 7th, nobody
23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.819
would even think of being anti-Semitic again. Instead, that's all
24
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.719
you hear today. And the fact that we elected a
25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.719
mayor who was silent and was calling for global intifada,
26
00:01:21.170 --> 00:01:23.890
who were silenced during the Columbia takeover. I mean, this
27
00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:26.969
is just horrible. So it's a tense state of affairs.
28
00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:30.180
And I think we have to realize who our friends are,
29
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.140
who aren't, and really stand and fight. There's no time
30
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.510
here for conciliation and trying to reason with people. To me,
31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.959
we've got to take a tough stand. We've got to
32
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:39.469
get out there. We've got to get the job done.
33
00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:41.989
Bottom line. And, you know, talking about the mayor, he
34
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.250
just tweeted, had this conversation moments ago with Trayman and others.
35
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.980
He tweeted this long tweet about the horrific events of
36
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.659
October 7th and what a terrible day it was. As
37
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.239
if he cares. You said it. His wife liked the images.
38
00:01:56.819 --> 00:02:00.700
She liked the videos. Girls getting raped. People being murdered.
39
00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:03.030
And when they ask them about it once or twice,
40
00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:04.989
because the New York media is a bunch of pussies,
41
00:02:05.209 --> 00:02:08.219
they really are. They're disgraceful. What did he say? Listen,
42
00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:11.599
she's a private person. No, she's not your moron. She's
43
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:14.020
the first lady of New York City. She's married to
44
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.639
the mayor. She's a very public person. And then he
45
00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:19.400
went on to compliment her how beautiful she is and
46
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.900
how much he loves her. So he's had opportunity to
47
00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:26.680
come out in the past and A, A, disagree with
48
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.620
his wife, but B, talk about the victims. And then
49
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.580
he's got the nerve to tweet something today and he's
50
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.240
going to a vigil tonight. Is he not the biggest
51
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.259
lying scumbag in the history of New York politics?
52
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.460
Yeah, to me, he is definitely the worst. I can't
53
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.620
imagine anybody else even coming close to him. And, you know,
54
00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:47.430
like you talk about his wife. Listen, it's always rough
55
00:02:47.469 --> 00:02:49.710
when you get a family member involved. Having said that,
56
00:02:49.969 --> 00:02:52.250
we're not talking about a disagreement over a tax bill
57
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:55.449
or a transportation bill or whether a subway or a
58
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:58.830
tunnel or a bridge rebuilt. This is really life and death.
59
00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:02.599
It's morality and immorality. And to me, at the very least,
60
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.020
you should say, on this issue, I strongly disagree with
61
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.460
my wife. But he can't. But he doesn't. That's the reality.
62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.020
For once, he's being honest. I mean, really, anyone who
63
00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:14.819
can talk in such a casual way about global intifada
64
00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:18.539
to be silent when Hamas demonstrators were taken over the streets,
65
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.039
to me, that says it all. And it's not, you know,
66
00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:25.280
you can have so many different political disagreements where there's
67
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.879
honest people on both sides. This isn't one of them.
68
00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:31.610
This is a clear case of, I mean, if there's
69
00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:35.889
any genocide, it's what Hamas and Iran and others are
70
00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:37.729
trying to do to Israel, you know, to the state
71
00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:38.090
of Israel.
72
00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.449
Glad you mentioned Iran because so many Americans are mad
73
00:03:41.490 --> 00:03:44.229
about Iran and Trump's approval rating is in the mid-30s
74
00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:47.139
and the midterms are in jeopardy, to say the least.
75
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.520
That may be nice because of Iran. Yet again, look
76
00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:53.360
back at that day, October the 7th. And what was
77
00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:57.759
the country? What was the country that funded all those groups?
78
00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.240
Hamas and, of course, the morons, those people, because they
79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.520
were really supposed to attack Israel the same day. Hamas
80
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.500
and what's the group in Hezbollah? They screwed it up.
81
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.509
So Hezbollah started the next day, even the Houthis in Yemen.
82
00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:17.230
All of these terrorist proxies are funded by Iran.
83
00:04:19.529 --> 00:04:23.269
Totally. Iran is the largest supporter of state terrorism in
84
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:27.180
the world. And I hate to admit it, those forces
85
00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:33.180
they have, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, they are well-trained. They are, unfortunately,
86
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.620
excellent fighters. They know what they're doing. And that's why
87
00:04:35.689 --> 00:04:38.689
it's so important that we go after them. And President Trump,
88
00:04:38.769 --> 00:04:41.029
the only criticism I make of President Trump with Iran
89
00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:43.029
is he had to do it. He did the right thing.
90
00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.410
He has to continue doing it. But don't try to
91
00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:47.470
say it's going to be an easy war. Don't say
92
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:50.680
that Iran is begging for peace. Those guys will fight
93
00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:54.160
to the last person because they're crazy. They're obsessed. They're
94
00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:57.339
absolute lunatics. And they're dangerous. And they're going to have
95
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.800
nuclear weapons. So I think the president should be saying
96
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.600
is this is tougher than we thought it was going
97
00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:03.180
to be. We're going to say it into the end.
98
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.670
There are going to be sacrifices. I understand your gas
99
00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:07.850
prices are going up. But again, go back to World
100
00:05:07.870 --> 00:05:10.959
War II and other great struggles. Americans made the sacrifice,
101
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.079
as you made. And I'm asking you to make that
102
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.449
sacrifice one more time, because President Trump does not want
103
00:05:16.470 --> 00:05:18.680
to be the president. Two or three years from now,
104
00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:21.589
when he's out of office and Iran is attacking people
105
00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:23.990
and using nuclear weapons, people will say, where was Trump
106
00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:25.930
when we needed him? He's doing the right thing. He
107
00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:29.569
should stay on it. And he should say how serious
108
00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.350
it is. And there's no such thing as an easy war. Certainly,
109
00:05:32.370 --> 00:05:34.189
when you're dealing with people like Iran, it's not easy.
110
00:05:34.410 --> 00:05:37.279
But we will win. We can't lose. We just got
111
00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:37.879
to stay on it.
112
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.879
Yeah, it's funny. You know, talking about easy wars, he
113
00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:41.889
actually said to me on this show, he said, Sid,
114
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:44.209
I really thought of all the wars. I solved eight
115
00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:46.610
world conflicts. I really thought the easiest one was going
116
00:05:46.629 --> 00:05:49.680
to be Russia-Ukraine because Putin loves me. He called it easy.
117
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.519
And Putin is nowhere near. He's nowhere near easy. ending
118
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.339
that war, that conflict with Ukraine. So he does use
119
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.430
the word easy sometimes for stuff that is not. But
120
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.199
I will say this. I still love him. But you
121
00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:06.170
know who hates him? You know who hates him? Deborah Messing.
122
00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:11.110
Yet the very popular actress from Will and Grace, much
123
00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:16.870
like Bonnie Lautenberg, Democrat. Much like Bob Holden, Democrat. This
124
00:06:17.110 --> 00:06:21.670
Democrat Trump painting actress jumped aboard the Bruce Blakeman train,
125
00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:23.009
and I was happy to see it.
126
00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:26.279
The movement is definitely going toward Bruce. I think there
127
00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.540
is in New York. I think the Republican Party is
128
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.600
certainly downstate here in Long Island, but also around the state.
129
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.620
You see what is building from Bruce Blakeman. Bruce is
130
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.339
going to well. And also, if I can put in
131
00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:39.000
a personal request here for my friend Janine Driscoll, I
132
00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:41.240
think he's running a great race for Congress. And there's
133
00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.899
really some developments. First of all, every law enforcement group.
134
00:06:44.230 --> 00:06:48.089
And Nassau County is endorsed. Police, detectives, superior officers, but
135
00:06:48.129 --> 00:06:51.290
also her opponent is refusing to debate her. It's a
136
00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:54.389
Channel 12 debate, which every incumbent always does. And for
137
00:06:54.629 --> 00:06:56.569
some reason, he's backed out of the debate. She's afraid
138
00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:59.189
to debate her. But the only negative thing is that
139
00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:02.250
Janine is picking up whatever reason the people in Washington
140
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:05.290
are not giving her the money she needs. TV commercials
141
00:07:05.350 --> 00:07:06.829
ready to go. She had a great one going now,
142
00:07:06.870 --> 00:07:09.050
but she has two more ready to go. So I
143
00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:11.069
just would, again, if you get her on your show,
144
00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.120
give her some free air time. Let her get on
145
00:07:13.129 --> 00:07:15.579
there to make up for the deficiency that she's not
146
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.839
getting from Washington, unfortunately. But again, that race can be won.
147
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.579
It will be won. And I'm a thousand percent behind her.
148
00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:23.620
Get her in here next week. Okay. Tell her you just,
149
00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.370
I was just on with city. Want you back in here?
150
00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:26.930
Cause I do love her to our kids. Great to
151
00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:30.100
our kids, friends with both of my kids. So, Janine
152
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.819
Driscoll's going to win that race. She's going to beat
153
00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:34.850
Laura Gillum. You know, talking about debates, we had one
154
00:07:34.910 --> 00:07:38.589
last week for Comptroller Hernandez versus DiNapoli. Tomorrow night, we've
155
00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:41.709
got my friend Saritha. She's going to debate Letitia James
156
00:07:41.829 --> 00:07:45.089
in the AG race. And Tuesday night, all three of
157
00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:47.490
these are New York won with that racist Daryl Lewis.
158
00:07:47.870 --> 00:07:51.069
Tuesday night is the one... debate that New York One
159
00:07:51.089 --> 00:07:55.709
will have between Blakeman and Hochul. I expect Bruce to
160
00:07:55.889 --> 00:08:00.160
wipe the floor with hijab Hochul on Tuesday night. What
161
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:00.620
about you?
162
00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:03.339
Yeah, in fact, I'll be with Joe Caro and some
163
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.079
friends down at King Umberto's watching it on television. We're
164
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.079
going to be cheering Bruce on. And Bruce is doing well.
165
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:13.050
And you mentioned, Serena, this was a boxing match. That
166
00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:15.980
would be called TKO in the first round. I mean,
167
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.519
she is head and shoulders over Tish James. It's not
168
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.100
even close. I mean, she is. I never knew her
169
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.279
before this campaign. I got to meet her, I guess,
170
00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:29.529
early in the spring. And she's incredibly intelligent, smart, a
171
00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:34.409
great story. I mean, her family is great. She's the
172
00:08:34.529 --> 00:08:40.990
real deal. I mean, she prosecuted major terrorist cases. So
173
00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:47.750
if she's, again, for her as Attorney General, Bruce as Governor,
174
00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:53.250
Sarita as Attorney General, Joe Fernandez as Comptroller, Janine Driscoll
175
00:08:53.269 --> 00:08:55.210
in Congress, we'll be doing great. It'll be a whole
176
00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:56.809
new world here in New York, and we've got to
177
00:08:56.850 --> 00:08:57.309
get it done.
178
00:08:57.610 --> 00:08:59.990
Let's hope so. Peter, as always, excellent job on this
179
00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:02.049
somber morning. You really are awesome.
180
00:09:02.110 --> 00:09:03.320
I love you. Very somber. Thank you.
181
00:09:03.490 --> 00:09:06.289
Thank you, Peter. Thank you so much. Peter King right there,
182
00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:09.370
the former great congressman, Homeland Security. He's just a terrific guy.
183
00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:10.309
We love Peter.
184
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:14.139

have to wonder.
192
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.659
What the heck is going on here?
1
00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.189
Peter King is on because he's a good man. He's
2
00:00:03.250 --> 00:00:06.480
actually a great man. And he knows he's smart. He
3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.119
worked with Homeland Security, worked for the better part of
4
00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:12.119
four decades with Congress. He knows the good guys from
5
00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.939
the bad guys, okay? And he knows this is not
6
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.570
a two-sided story. One side got attacked and continues to
7
00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:22.629
get attacked every day. Maybe now it's the media or
8
00:00:22.649 --> 00:00:26.030
the morons, but it's Israel. They're the victims. That's it.
9
00:00:26.629 --> 00:00:27.629
Peter King, good morning.
10
00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:31.280
How are you? Good morning, Sid. It's a sad day, though.
11
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.539
I mean, three years ago today, to show you how
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.520
wrong I was, I thought if anything positive comes out
13
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.259
of this, now the whole world will know that Israel
14
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:44.929
is right, Hamas is wrong, Iran is wrong. Instead, within
15
00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:47.049
two or three days, the whole thing turned against Israel.
16
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:51.310
It's really shameful, and it's really a commentary on the
17
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:54.350
moral state of people in the United States, people around
18
00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:57.609
the world, certainly those phony Europeans. We can go up
19
00:00:57.649 --> 00:01:00.789
and down the list here. It's really terrible. I never thought, again,
20
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:03.259
you know, you study the Holocaust, you study all of
21
00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:06.230
Jewish persecution over the centuries, and you figure, well, that's
22
00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:10.140
all behind us. And now, certainly, after October 7th, nobody
23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.819
would even think of being anti-Semitic again. Instead, that's all
24
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.719
you hear today. And the fact that we elected a
25
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.719
mayor who was silent and was calling for global intifada,
26
00:01:21.170 --> 00:01:23.890
who were silenced during the Columbia takeover. I mean, this
27
00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:26.969
is just horrible. So it's a tense state of affairs.
28
00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:30.180
And I think we have to realize who our friends are,
29
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.140
who aren't, and really stand and fight. There's no time
30
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.510
here for conciliation and trying to reason with people. To me,
31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.959
we've got to take a tough stand. We've got to
32
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:39.469
get out there. We've got to get the job done.
33
00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:41.989
Bottom line. And, you know, talking about the mayor, he
34
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.250
just tweeted, had this conversation moments ago with Trayman and others.
35
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.980
He tweeted this long tweet about the horrific events of
36
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.659
October 7th and what a terrible day it was. As
37
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.239
if he cares. You said it. His wife liked the images.
38
00:01:56.819 --> 00:02:00.700
She liked the videos. Girls getting raped. People being murdered.
39
00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:03.030
And when they ask them about it once or twice,
40
00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:04.989
because the New York media is a bunch of pussies,
41
00:02:05.209 --> 00:02:08.219
they really are. They're disgraceful. What did he say? Listen,
42
00:02:08.629 --> 00:02:11.599
she's a private person. No, she's not your moron. She's
43
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:14.020
the first lady of New York City. She's married to
44
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.639
the mayor. She's a very public person. And then he
45
00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:19.400
went on to compliment her how beautiful she is and
46
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.900
how much he loves her. So he's had opportunity to
47
00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:26.680
come out in the past and A, A, disagree with
48
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.620
his wife, but B, talk about the victims. And then
49
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.580
he's got the nerve to tweet something today and he's
50
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.240
going to a vigil tonight. Is he not the biggest
51
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.259
lying scumbag in the history of New York politics?
52
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.460
Yeah, to me, he is definitely the worst. I can't
53
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.620
imagine anybody else even coming close to him. And, you know,
54
00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:47.430
like you talk about his wife. Listen, it's always rough
55
00:02:47.469 --> 00:02:49.710
when you get a family member involved. Having said that,
56
00:02:49.969 --> 00:02:52.250
we're not talking about a disagreement over a tax bill
57
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:55.449
or a transportation bill or whether a subway or a
58
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:58.830
tunnel or a bridge rebuilt. This is really life and death.
59
00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:02.599
It's morality and immorality. And to me, at the very least,
60
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.020
you should say, on this issue, I strongly disagree with
61
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.460
my wife. But he can't. But he doesn't. That's the reality.
62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.020
For once, he's being honest. I mean, really, anyone who
63
00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:14.819
can talk in such a casual way about global intifada
64
00:03:15.259 --> 00:03:18.539
to be silent when Hamas demonstrators were taken over the streets,
65
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.039
to me, that says it all. And it's not, you know,
66
00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:25.280
you can have so many different political disagreements where there's
67
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.879
honest people on both sides. This isn't one of them.
68
00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:31.610
This is a clear case of, I mean, if there's
69
00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:35.889
any genocide, it's what Hamas and Iran and others are
70
00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:37.729
trying to do to Israel, you know, to the state
71
00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:38.090
of Israel.
72
00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.449
Glad you mentioned Iran because so many Americans are mad
73
00:03:41.490 --> 00:03:44.229
about Iran and Trump's approval rating is in the mid-30s
74
00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:47.139
and the midterms are in jeopardy, to say the least.
75
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.520
That may be nice because of Iran. Yet again, look
76
00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:53.360
back at that day, October the 7th. And what was
77
00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:57.759
the country? What was the country that funded all those groups?
78
00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.240
Hamas and, of course, the morons, those people, because they
79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.520
were really supposed to attack Israel the same day. Hamas
80
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.500
and what's the group in Hezbollah? They screwed it up.
81
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.509
So Hezbollah started the next day, even the Houthis in Yemen.
82
00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:17.230
All of these terrorist proxies are funded by Iran.
83
00:04:19.529 --> 00:04:23.269
Totally. Iran is the largest supporter of state terrorism in
84
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:27.180
the world. And I hate to admit it, those forces
85
00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:33.180
they have, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, they are well-trained. They are, unfortunately,
86
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.620
excellent fighters. They know what they're doing. And that's why
87
00:04:35.689 --> 00:04:38.689
it's so important that we go after them. And President Trump,
88
00:04:38.769 --> 00:04:41.029
the only criticism I make of President Trump with Iran
89
00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:43.029
is he had to do it. He did the right thing.
90
00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.410
He has to continue doing it. But don't try to
91
00:04:45.449 --> 00:04:47.470
say it's going to be an easy war. Don't say
92
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:50.680
that Iran is begging for peace. Those guys will fight
93
00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:54.160
to the last person because they're crazy. They're obsessed. They're
94
00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:57.339
absolute lunatics. And they're dangerous. And they're going to have
95
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.800
nuclear weapons. So I think the president should be saying
96
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.600
is this is tougher than we thought it was going
97
00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:03.180
to be. We're going to say it into the end.
98
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.670
There are going to be sacrifices. I understand your gas
99
00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:07.850
prices are going up. But again, go back to World
100
00:05:07.870 --> 00:05:10.959
War II and other great struggles. Americans made the sacrifice,
101
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.079
as you made. And I'm asking you to make that
102
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.449
sacrifice one more time, because President Trump does not want
103
00:05:16.470 --> 00:05:18.680
to be the president. Two or three years from now,
104
00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:21.589
when he's out of office and Iran is attacking people
105
00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:23.990
and using nuclear weapons, people will say, where was Trump
106
00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:25.930
when we needed him? He's doing the right thing. He
107
00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:29.569
should stay on it. And he should say how serious
108
00:05:29.610 --> 00:05:32.350
it is. And there's no such thing as an easy war. Certainly,
109
00:05:32.370 --> 00:05:34.189
when you're dealing with people like Iran, it's not easy.
110
00:05:34.410 --> 00:05:37.279
But we will win. We can't lose. We just got
111
00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:37.879
to stay on it.
112
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.879
Yeah, it's funny. You know, talking about easy wars, he
113
00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:41.889
actually said to me on this show, he said, Sid,
114
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:44.209
I really thought of all the wars. I solved eight
115
00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:46.610
world conflicts. I really thought the easiest one was going
116
00:05:46.629 --> 00:05:49.680
to be Russia-Ukraine because Putin loves me. He called it easy.
117
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.519
And Putin is nowhere near. He's nowhere near easy. ending
118
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.339
that war, that conflict with Ukraine. So he does use
119
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.430
the word easy sometimes for stuff that is not. But
120
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.199
I will say this. I still love him. But you
121
00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:06.170
know who hates him? You know who hates him? Deborah Messing.
122
00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:11.110
Yet the very popular actress from Will and Grace, much
123
00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:16.870
like Bonnie Lautenberg, Democrat. Much like Bob Holden, Democrat. This
124
00:06:17.110 --> 00:06:21.670
Democrat Trump painting actress jumped aboard the Bruce Blakeman train,
125
00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:23.009
and I was happy to see it.
126
00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:26.279
The movement is definitely going toward Bruce. I think there
127
00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.540
is in New York. I think the Republican Party is
128
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.600
certainly downstate here in Long Island, but also around the state.
129
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.620
You see what is building from Bruce Blakeman. Bruce is
130
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.339
going to well. And also, if I can put in
131
00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:39.000
a personal request here for my friend Janine Driscoll, I
132
00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:41.240
think he's running a great race for Congress. And there's
133
00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.899
really some developments. First of all, every law enforcement group.
134
00:06:44.230 --> 00:06:48.089
And Nassau County is endorsed. Police, detectives, superior officers, but
135
00:06:48.129 --> 00:06:51.290
also her opponent is refusing to debate her. It's a
136
00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:54.389
Channel 12 debate, which every incumbent always does. And for
137
00:06:54.629 --> 00:06:56.569
some reason, he's backed out of the debate. She's afraid
138
00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:59.189
to debate her. But the only negative thing is that
139
00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:02.250
Janine is picking up whatever reason the people in Washington
140
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:05.290
are not giving her the money she needs. TV commercials
141
00:07:05.350 --> 00:07:06.829
ready to go. She had a great one going now,
142
00:07:06.870 --> 00:07:09.050
but she has two more ready to go. So I
143
00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:11.069
just would, again, if you get her on your show,
144
00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.120
give her some free air time. Let her get on
145
00:07:13.129 --> 00:07:15.579
there to make up for the deficiency that she's not
146
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.839
getting from Washington, unfortunately. But again, that race can be won.
147
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.579
It will be won. And I'm a thousand percent behind her.
148
00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:23.620
Get her in here next week. Okay. Tell her you just,
149
00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.370
I was just on with city. Want you back in here?
150
00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:26.930
Cause I do love her to our kids. Great to
151
00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:30.100
our kids, friends with both of my kids. So, Janine
152
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.819
Driscoll's going to win that race. She's going to beat
153
00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:34.850
Laura Gillum. You know, talking about debates, we had one
154
00:07:34.910 --> 00:07:38.589
last week for Comptroller Hernandez versus DiNapoli. Tomorrow night, we've
155
00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:41.709
got my friend Saritha. She's going to debate Letitia James
156
00:07:41.829 --> 00:07:45.089
in the AG race. And Tuesday night, all three of
157
00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:47.490
these are New York won with that racist Daryl Lewis.
158
00:07:47.870 --> 00:07:51.069
Tuesday night is the one... debate that New York One
159
00:07:51.089 --> 00:07:55.709
will have between Blakeman and Hochul. I expect Bruce to
160
00:07:55.889 --> 00:08:00.160
wipe the floor with hijab Hochul on Tuesday night. What
161
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:00.620
about you?
162
00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:03.339
Yeah, in fact, I'll be with Joe Caro and some
163
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.079
friends down at King Umberto's watching it on television. We're
164
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.079
going to be cheering Bruce on. And Bruce is doing well.
165
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:13.050
And you mentioned, Serena, this was a boxing match. That
166
00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:15.980
would be called TKO in the first round. I mean,
167
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.519
she is head and shoulders over Tish James. It's not
168
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.100
even close. I mean, she is. I never knew her
169
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.279
before this campaign. I got to meet her, I guess,
170
00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:29.529
early in the spring. And she's incredibly intelligent, smart, a
171
00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:34.409
great story. I mean, her family is great. She's the
172
00:08:34.529 --> 00:08:40.990
real deal. I mean, she prosecuted major terrorist cases. So
173
00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:47.750
if she's, again, for her as Attorney General, Bruce as Governor,
174
00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:53.250
Sarita as Attorney General, Joe Fernandez as Comptroller, Janine Driscoll
175
00:08:53.269 --> 00:08:55.210
in Congress, we'll be doing great. It'll be a whole
176
00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:56.809
new world here in New York, and we've got to
177
00:08:56.850 --> 00:08:57.309
get it done.
178
00:08:57.610 --> 00:08:59.990
Let's hope so. Peter, as always, excellent job on this
179
00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:02.049
somber morning. You really are awesome.
180
00:09:02.110 --> 00:09:03.320
I love you. Very somber. Thank you.
181
00:09:03.490 --> 00:09:06.289
Thank you, Peter. Thank you so much. Peter King right there,
182
00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:09.370
the former great congressman, Homeland Security. He's just a terrific guy.
183
00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:10.309
We love Peter.
184
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:14.139
