Speaker 1 Well is today is Congressman Peter King, and he is a good friend of Patriot and served the American people as a congressman for thirty years in Long Island. Well, Peter King, Sunday morning, what’s on your mind this Sunday?

Speaker 2 Well, First of all, John, I think the whole issue of immigration, and you and I I think on exactly the same page on this. Immigration is actually es central the United States, where a nation of immigrants, they bring a certain fatality in life to the country is what made us the greatest country in the world. But it

has to be done legally. And unfortunately under Joe Biden, when at least ten million, maybe more illegal immigrants came extremely across the border with nobody vetting him, not knowing who they are. We know terrorists come in, we know obviously criminal gangs come in pretty heavily. So it’s changed the whole concept of immigration. And Donald Trump is in

a phenomenal job one closing the border. I mean now virtually nobody and tries to come across the border when they were streaming across by the thousands every day during the time Joe Biden was president. Also, Ice has done a very effective job and the Tom Holman of going out and rounding up the criminal migrants that here, those

who belonged to gangs. Those are the committed crimes either here or in the country where they came from. And he’s doing a great job of getting them out. Concerning John that I have and I know that you when President Trump, I guess even before he was elected, when he spoke to him in the whole list of immigration,

and you tooked to him about the importance of going into those who are here committed crimes. Go to the bad people. But her fathers have been here for a while and they’re living peacefully. Once the border is sealed, try to find ways to bring them into American society.

Don’t go after them, and unfortunately I think they are now. For instance, out in Trumper County just the other day, there was a young student twenty years old. She came here when she was fourteen, I believe, and she was given some sort of juvenile immigration staff at US and she was reporting was no, she wasn’t hiding anything at all.

She was an honor student. And suddenly ice came and they arrested her and her mother. And now she’s been taken down to prison or jail attention center down in Louisiana, and she’s going to be deported. And that to me, First of all, I think it’s unfair to that young girl.

She didn’t hurt anybody if she came here, family bought her here. When she’s fourteen years old, she’s a hot a student at high school, doing very well at Suffoc County Community College, and it’s unfair to her and her family.

But also it gives ammunition to the people out there who are attacking Ice, who are attacking President Trump, and they will ignore the gangs and everything that had been locked up and arrested and deported and focused on in it to people, you know, basically in some people like this young girl. So I just wish John that if Trump,

I hope the President Trump is. My belief is maybe yours that Donald Trump has not been fully informed or was aware of this, That there are just some people who want to build up the numbers of how many DIDs the boarding, And if you’re putting out the good with the bad, it undercuts your whole position.

Speaker 1 I think, Well, my position is, let’s get rid of all the criminals first, before we even think about what else we’re going to do to clean up our country.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I agree with you completely on that, John. And by the way, I have no patience at all with these people who say that I used to take off their masks, that we should let them be targets and people want to assassinate them and attack them. They do a great, great job, but I think in cases like

this they overshoot the mark and it’s not what you want. I want certainly have a president Trump said he wanted. So hopefully somebody can bring that to his attention and we get back on track, because the job he’s doing otherwise, especially in immigration, is just phenomenal. The way that borders from shot Joe Biden said, we couldn’t get it done

unless we had a complicated bipartisan legislation adopted down. Trump did it in thirty days without any legislation. Just by using the powers of the presidency. He was able to see of a border as tight as it’s ever been.

Speaker 1 Understood. Now we talked about the border, I mean Long Island has had so many problems anything else in Long Island that you want to bring everybody aware of. I know that you’re not familiar with the windmills that much and and uh our former Congressman Anthony de Martino is working on that in a great deal. But I understand,

I understand from de Martino.

Speaker 2 I think that uh.

Speaker 1 This Bosito sorry that that the Governor’s office could not get anybody uh from Long Island under the Democrats to carry the bill to Albany, and they had to you had to get some or you had to get somebody from the Bronx to do it. I mean, the people in Long Island, whether the Democrats or Republicans, have to

realize that these windmills are going to destroy Long Islan between the fishing very bad.

Speaker 2 John, I agree with you, and I was just saying that I have not followed it in the detail that for instance, like Anthonys Esposito has been doing all along and fighting hard on it. And I think that the governor is the fact that she could not get anybody from Long Island, Democrat or republicshed. Certainly you think the

Democrats would go along with the governor of their party, so for them to be imposed to it and then to be still trying to impose it on Long Island when the local officials, the local and the state officials and both parties are against. It really really shows an arrogance and it shows the i think, the type of

contempt for local government that the OBNY Democrats have shown, just the way they’re changing the elections on Long Island. They want to do all they can. They want to turn it basically into a sixth borough of New York City, what they want to do with housing and you know, changing zoning, all all of those procedures to really break

down what has made of Long Island is such a unique place, opportunity and John a genuinely two party system. We’ve had arocrowded county executives and Republicans in both counties. You’ve had both parties are controlled the county of legislatures, so it’s a fifty to fifty political mix, and the party which is doing the best job gets elected. You

shouldn’t have all of any superimposing itself on what is on on Long Islands.

Speaker 1 Absolutely correct. Well, Congressman Peter King, you know Washington still needs you if you feel like going back, and God bless you and God bless America. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Speaker 2 Jonaths. As long as I’m a WABC, I got a good platform, and that’s really old lady, but thank you very much, John, thank you, thank you so much. During the rest of the day, right
