Nick LaLota

Is this right, Peter King? There are no debates for these, I guess, uh, candidates on Long Island.

They showed, for example, they showed Nick LaLota.

But are there no debates?

In LaLota's race, his Democratic opponent would not debate him.

So again, uh, they're not having this all of the above common sense, uh, approach to drive down utility bills, and that is the one, one of the biggest drivers of affordability issues here in the state.

That and property taxes, which we know the city constantly is taking more and more money, 20% increase over the last, um, five years, and that is why I worked so hard with Mike Lawler and Nick LaLota and others to deliver the SALT deduction, quid- quadrupling that SALT deduction so people can write off those income and property taxes on the federal level and they're not paying twice.

We did that for middle-class families.

Just like we expanded the child tax credit, we increased the standard deduction, we delivered on no tax on tips and overtime.

And you've got the girl I really like, Janine Driscoll, up against Laura Gillum, who beat Anthony D'Esposito last time around.

And you've got Mike Lopetri for the second straight time going up against Tom Swazi and Lalota and Garbarino and all these other races, Senate races.

And I'm not even familiar with all of them, to be honest.

But we're 19 days away from the Republicans trying to retain the House and the Senate.

Yeah, you got some good common sense people there doing good work.

Nick Lalota, uh, Mike Lawler, good, good folks.

And Nicole Malliotakis doing the, the work that you want to see in your, uh, in your congressional, uh, representative.

So, uh, good people.

They are.

Um, you have a neophyte congressional hopeful battling Long Island Republican Nick LaLota for his seat, uh, leaning in after the New York, New York Post published racy bondy, uh, what do you call it, bondage pictures of him last month.

How did I miss this? I read the New York Post every day.

[laughs] Democrat's name is Chris Galant.

There's 37 lawmakers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut that claimed, uh, almost 700,000 in housing, food reimbursements just last year.

Here's, uh, Long Island Representative Nick LaLota, Republican in New York, sought the most of the group, 30,000 in reimbursements.

30,000 on his expense account.

This is what they do, these congressmen and women.

He was a helicopter pilot in the military, and he's running in a New York congressional district.

And the New York Post ran this story, "New York Dem House candidate modeled for XXX-rated BDSM ads while serving in the National Guard." Chris Gallant, the Democratic nominee running against Long Island Representative Nick LaLota, was previously involved in a very different kind of campaign, selling toys as a model for a fetish sex shop.

Gallant appeared in multiple pics for Mr.

S Leather, a San Francisco-based purveyor of leather daddy supplies, wearing collars, leather straps, et cetera.

In his right hand, he held a Sig Sauer case containing two of his own handguns.

A third was tucked into his jeans, but that wasn't the only weapon he had in his jeans." Okay, that wasn't in it, but the rest of it was.

"It was a Tuesday, a little more than a month from election day." And then it goes on to talk about Black Hawk helicopter pilot, and he's going up against Nick LaLota.

But this is the difference between Democrats and Republicans, okay? A Republican did this in a garage, and then had everyone sign NDAs.
