Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time, leaving
Speaker 1: you waiting to be seen by a doctor at Level Health.
Speaker 1: We're fed up with all the waiting around. It's about
Speaker 1: time you had twenty four to seven instant access to doctors.
Speaker 1: Level Health. It's about time twenty four to seven instant
Speaker 1: access to doctors included on plans A to WEE insurance
Speaker 1: provided by Aviva Insurance Ireland Dark Level Health Ireland Limited,
Speaker 1: trading as Level Health, is regulated by the Central Bank
Speaker 1: of Ireland.
Speaker 2: On the line with us right now is my former congressman.
Speaker 2: You were briefly my congressman before all the redistricting, Peter King, Congressman.
Speaker 2: We've been talking a lot about the socialist takeover of
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party. This is no longer the old Democrat Party.
Speaker 2: And Jude Weinberg came out with that incredible stat only
Speaker 2: what twenty percent or something like that, twenty nine percent
Speaker 2: of Democrats now say they love this country and that's
Speaker 2: relatively new because twenty four years ago, twenty five years ago,
Speaker 2: it was eighty percent. How again, listen, how many of
Speaker 2: the actual voters do you think realize that this is
Speaker 2: no longer the old right and left anymore that the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party now has just moved so far to the left.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if the voters get it.
Speaker 2: We get it, but I don't know if they see
Speaker 2: it yet. When will they see it?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Drake, thanks for the intro, and
Speaker 3: I hope you voted for me when you lived in
Speaker 3: my district. But that's that's that's yeah, early off and right. Yes,
Speaker 3: I agree totally with Judge Weinberg on this. The Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: It's it was slowly building up this anti American feeling
Speaker 3: and then it's just even explode all of a sudden. Uh,
Speaker 3: It's dramatic. I mean, whoever thought the party of Joe
Speaker 3: Leaving and Edcotts, John Kennedy, you carrying down the list
Speaker 3: of Democratics from Bill Clinton who would have been part
Speaker 3: of this whole movement which is anti American. And also,
Speaker 3: I think Judge and I have discussed this several times,
Speaker 3: anti Israel in many ways is a cover for being
Speaker 3: anti American because Israel stands so many of the same
Speaker 3: values that we do. Strong defense, anti communists, anti left wing,
Speaker 3: free enterprise, freedom of religion, all of these principles, and
Speaker 3: also being the only democracy in the Middle East. So
Speaker 3: their target, and that to me is everyone you see
Speaker 3: who is out there in those anti quote unquote Zionist rallies,
Speaker 3: the Prohomas rallies are also anti American, so we have
Speaker 3: to keep that in mind as we go forward. But
Speaker 3: I was happening in a Democratic party. I don't think
Speaker 3: the average Now you talk to the average say Democrat
Speaker 3: in their fifties and sixties, who grew up and they
Speaker 3: come from and that think family in New York. Their
Speaker 3: parents and grandparents were Democrats, and sometimes they voted Democrats,
Speaker 3: sometimes they voted Republican, but they thought both parties were
Speaker 3: basically either slightly central left or center right, but basically
Speaker 3: within the American mainstream. I think they would be shocked,
Speaker 3: and I just wish we can get that message out
Speaker 3: of them. It's how far left they have gone, anti
Speaker 3: cop and anti military, anti basically American values and American traditions.
Speaker 3: And listen, during the worst days you could have had
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, you're gonna build the Blasio, You're gonna have
Speaker 3: anyone in office. And I would never say I'm not
Speaker 3: proud of my country. I mean, the United States stands
Speaker 3: above all exceeds in selected officials, and I was Peters
Speaker 3: want to stand for. So I can never ever say
Speaker 3: that I'm not one hundred percent of American Peter.
Speaker 4: Don't agree with him too strongly.
Speaker 1: Now, we don't want to pump.
Speaker 4: Him up too much.
Speaker 5: He's a Democrat, don't forget That's You're right, graduate, maybe
Speaker 5: a enemy among us.
Speaker 3: That's probably yeah about the party. He is the party.
Speaker 6: I am the party now, Peter, as you and I
Speaker 6: have talked about, you know, I'm I'm the last David Passon,
Speaker 6: not the last of the living moderate sense Democrats. You
Speaker 6: know the old line that Reagan had, which was I
Speaker 6: didn't leave my party, My party left me. Just imagine
Speaker 6: what he was re sponning too, is compared to what's
Speaker 6: really happening today.
Speaker 3: Peter, Yeah, I mean that in the days of Reagan,
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party, the extension went left. It was left
Speaker 3: within the American spectrum. It was still fighting for America,
Speaker 3: just had a different way of doing it sometimes, but
Speaker 3: there was never an anti American feeling. Now, during Vietnam
Speaker 3: you saw some of the plague burners in all left,
Speaker 3: but they were fringe. They were off way overrun the left.
Speaker 3: Now that fringe just taking up the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: Isn't it true that the mayor and most of the
Speaker 4: Democratic Party are big Mets fans, not Yankee fans.
Speaker 3: So let's not get into that.
Speaker 2: Uh, Congressman King the you know you were talking about
Speaker 2: how the anti Israel stuff is really Yes, it's absolutely
Speaker 2: a testing ground. They try that out first when they're
Speaker 2: really anti American and we're asking ourselves and how do
Speaker 2: they get away with it? And the answer, I think
Speaker 2: one of the answers is they go to these old
Speaker 2: school Democrats and they just portray themselves as being an
Speaker 2: anti Trump party, And sadly, a lot of those old
Speaker 2: school Democrats are down with that. They're fine with that,
Speaker 2: and then it helps to shield everything else. So, just
Speaker 2: like the anti Israel stuff shields their anti Americanism, they
Speaker 2: come out with an anti Trump message and suddenly a
Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats who would if they heard anything else
Speaker 2: on their platform, would be shocked, knee jerksal vote for them.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how mom, Donnie won I think a
Speaker 2: lot of what.
Speaker 6: About to support for Peter? What about to support for
Speaker 6: this character in Maine Platinum running against the great United
Speaker 6: States Senator Common Sense bipartisan senator, a leader of the
Speaker 6: Senate who you know well, Susan Collins. How do you
Speaker 6: support a guy like Platner who has everything against him
Speaker 6: and yet all the Democrats are rallying behind him.
Speaker 3: You mentioned Susan Collins, My dealings with her when I
Speaker 3: was chairing with the Homeland Security Committee, she and joe
Speaker 3: Leabaman riding the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Why the pleasure
Speaker 3: I was to work with them and two of them
Speaker 3: Democrat Republicans standing for homeland security. They were great, totally
Speaker 3: totally pro American. Slightly different views on different issues, but
Speaker 3: overall totally pro America. Would accept him, Yes.
Speaker 4: Tell him the story about your sidekicker from the Democratic
Speaker 4: Party when he used to leave the intelligence meeting and
Speaker 4: the Homeland security meeting.
Speaker 3: Now the United States senator from California, you're talking about
Speaker 3: Adam Schiff. Yes, you know, you take it into what's
Speaker 3: discussed the intelligence great. Having said that, there's one example
Speaker 3: he's been out there now he would hear something and
Speaker 3: take it out of context and go up and next
Speaker 3: thing you know, it's on CNN, thes be top secret.
Speaker 3: The example I always uses, Hope Picks. It was the
Speaker 3: top age to President Trump before he was president, and
Speaker 3: she's there and there's like three hours of testifying testimony
Speaker 3: when they were trying to show the connection with Russia,
Speaker 3: which was total fraud, and so Adam Shift being very
Speaker 3: Actually that was Swowell asked the question, I think and
Speaker 3: Schiff was the one who leaked it. Swowell says, Top
Speaker 3: picks his President Trump ever told you to lie? Now,
Speaker 3: I give hope it's credit. She younew where they were
Speaker 3: coming from, and she said, well, only if you want
Speaker 3: to call it like a white lie, like if he
Speaker 3: if somebody calls, he'd want to talk to you, say
Speaker 3: tell him I'll call him back later. And that was it,
Speaker 3: she said. But other than that, nothing ever important, nothing
Speaker 3: ever that affected anybody. Next thing, you know, CNN is
Speaker 3: reporting Trump a top Trump eight admits she told a
Speaker 3: liar the oath. It was a bad story on CNN.
Speaker 3: And the thing is we're we're not around of state,
Speaker 3: and this does anything. We're hear in the Intelligence Committee
Speaker 3: and he within fifteen minutes, it's all over national television.
Speaker 3: So I remember that was Swolbow asking the question, and
Speaker 3: Shiff was the guy that was talking about it, and
Speaker 3: between the two of them and others on that committee.
Speaker 3: That was again they were It's one thing if they
Speaker 3: really thought there was something serious to those allegations, but
Speaker 3: that was just an attempt to bring down the president
Speaker 3: of the United States. And that's that was they told
Speaker 3: me about a coup. That was the real first attempt
Speaker 3: at coop here in the United States. It was when Democrats,
Speaker 3: prominent Democrats and also people like Jim call Me and
Speaker 3: John Brennan and others in that foreign policy intelligence establishment
Speaker 3: knew what they were saying was totally untrue. I listened
Speaker 3: what they was. Russia involved in the election. They were
Speaker 3: involved in every election. It didn't matter, no impact at
Speaker 3: all that Trump people were not dealing with Russia. In fact,
Speaker 3: one example I always used is right after the election,
Speaker 3: the big explsa in the New York Times was that
Speaker 3: Russia was making phone calls into Trump Tower. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: were because they know who to deal with. The election
Speaker 3: was over. They had no contact with the Trump team,
Speaker 3: so they were actually calling into Trump Tower to see
Speaker 3: who do we deal with in the Russian administration and administration,
Speaker 3: and so that to me that proved there was no connection. Instead,
Speaker 3: they try to show listen if Russia is trying to
Speaker 3: do espionage. They're not going to call it trumb Tower
Speaker 3: and try and say who do we talk to with
Speaker 3: the administration. I mean, that just showed again how miss
Speaker 3: weeding at all was and a national media went along
Speaker 3: with it, and it was really a disgrace the way
Speaker 3: that was carried out. But also getting back George w again,
Speaker 3: you're talking about people in the Democratic Party, how they've
Speaker 3: gone off, and I again, I think that puts more
Speaker 3: of a burden on us, those of us who are
Speaker 3: been probably going off conservative or certainly love America. We
Speaker 3: have to be careful in how we get our message
Speaker 3: out there. So we can't give them. We can't give
Speaker 3: you opposition things they can use and distort against us.
Speaker 3: Now they're going to do it anyway, but we shouldn't
Speaker 3: give them the ammunition to use against us. We have
Speaker 3: an extra burden to live up to.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Peter King, I don't know if you're going to
Speaker 2: laugh or cry, but you just talked about the Russia collusion.
Speaker 5: Oaks.
Speaker 2: Here's Barack Obama yesterday talking about how he believes in
Speaker 2: the peaceful transfer of power. Listen to this hypocrisy, tush.
Speaker 5: A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the
Speaker 5: people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that
Speaker 5: in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or
Speaker 5: faction gets its way one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he convened people in the White House
Speaker 2: after the Trump victory, read to push up the Clinton.
Speaker 3: Set up right in the Oval Office with Brennan and
Speaker 3: the others. And he also was putting out these mysterious things.
Speaker 3: I want all records frozen and everything. I want, you know,
Speaker 3: all the evidence of collusion. And he knew there was
Speaker 3: nothing there. He knew there was nothing there, and I
Speaker 3: used to and again this is the frustration in the
Speaker 3: way of being on the Intelligence Committee. You listen to
Speaker 3: these guys. You listened to Brennan, you listened to Camie,
Speaker 3: and you realized there was nothing behind him. But you
Speaker 3: couldn't really go out and say that. I mean, I
Speaker 3: called me would basically say when we when I saw
Speaker 3: what I saw, I couldn't believe it. We had to
Speaker 3: do this, we had to do that. And then you more,
Speaker 3: you listened to him, there was nothing there. But again
Speaker 3: that's not the way the media reported it. And now
Speaker 3: that that to me was a dark moment in American history,
Speaker 3: and Barack Obama was behind it.
Speaker 2: Well, Peter King, thanks so much for joining US congressman
Speaker 2: on this on this free day. If you woke up
Speaker 2: this morning and didn't know it was a federal holiday,
Speaker 2: now you know and you'll get better parting day.
Speaker 3: Let me just say one thing and agreement with George.
Speaker 3: I have to watch my getting sucked into agreeing with
Speaker 3: Judge Weinberg's Yeah, those Brooklyn Democrats from the Jacket Club.
Speaker 6: Peter, you and I grew up in the same world
Speaker 6: at the same time.
Speaker 3: Sure, you're right, that's true, and some people say we
Speaker 3: never grow up. That's how the start true too. That's
Speaker 3: a good thing. Have a good weekend, guys.
