Speaker 1: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast. What a
Speaker 1: day that was at the Police Academy in Garden City.
Speaker 1: President Trump, not only him, Todd blanche was there and
Speaker 1: Cash Pateel, Caroline Levitt, all the Congress people, all the
Speaker 1: people on Long Island that are in office and running
Speaker 1: for office. It was amazing and really the best part
Speaker 1: of all was right behind the stage on the podium
Speaker 1: where Trump and Blakeman spoke from, were a lot and
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of cops, female, male cops. Cops
Speaker 1: everywhere because of course, the theme last Friday was public
Speaker 1: safety and nobody does it better than Bruce Blakeman, pat
Speaker 1: Ryder and Donnelly, all the amazing folks in Nassau County.
Speaker 1: Bruce was amazing. He spoke twice. He spoke before the President.
Speaker 1: Then as you heard the President called him up on stage.
Speaker 1: He was kind enough to say all lo to me
Speaker 1: and Trump. Trump unleashed a smile like you never saw.
Speaker 1: You can see it's on my social media at Rosenberg
Speaker 1: dot Sydney on Instagram, at sid Rosenberg nineteen on Twitter,
Speaker 1: Sid Rosenberg on Facebook, sim Rosenberg on truth social Ear
Speaker 1: to ear. Trump was smiling when Blakeman pointed me out,
Speaker 1: and then we weren't done. Then we opted in a motorca.
Speaker 1: The great Tom Sullivan went to the Hamptons and Bruce
Speaker 1: was great again spoke at the Home, the beautiful home,
Speaker 1: I must say of Bob and Lamenta Dave Roberts. We
Speaker 1: arrived when Steve Whitkoff was still speaking, star started cast
Speaker 1: O'deedle was there, Bert Capone, Suzanne Miller, a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of big time people, Arie Ackerman, and we still weren't done.
Speaker 1: If the Bruce spoke barn was tremendous. Bruce was kind
Speaker 1: enough to take about a dozen of us to dinner
Speaker 1: at some trendy place in Southampton. I think it's called
Speaker 1: seventy five Mean. And then finally after my friend Lauren,
Speaker 1: who's married to the amazing Finton, took us to the
Speaker 1: restaurant Anthony Fromassapiko drove me home and the day was over.
Speaker 1: But what an unbelievable day. It was starred by my
Speaker 1: man Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, your amazing last Friday, Oh.
Speaker 2: It sounds like half a day, said come on, we
Speaker 2: have a bigger date in that every day?
Speaker 1: You really do? I know, I see your schedule. I
Speaker 1: talked to my son Gabriel, who's still working for. He's
Speaker 1: still working for He's like, this guy's everywhere every day,
Speaker 1: some days on Long Island, lots of days in the
Speaker 1: northern part of the state because you're campaigning for governor.
Speaker 1: I mean your days literally, these days are like eighteen
Speaker 1: hours long.
Speaker 2: Yes, we just finished a three day swing in western
Speaker 2: New York, Chester, Buffalo, every point in between, Wyoming County,
Speaker 2: Orleans County, Shenango County. Where else were we I'm trying
Speaker 2: to remember all the places we were at, Genesee County,
Speaker 2: Monroe County, Erie County. It was amazing. The people are
Speaker 2: fired up, They're miserable under Kathy Hochel. They desperately want change.
Speaker 2: So it was a labor of love. It was a
Speaker 2: sense of duty, and we went from early in the
Speaker 2: morning to late night every day there. Now I'm back
Speaker 2: on Long Island. I'm taking care of some county business
Speaker 2: today and we're going to shoot in the city. We've
Speaker 2: got a rally against anti Semitism in the city, and
Speaker 2: we've got so many other things going on. That's then
Speaker 2: I'm I'm ending the night tonight. I'm gonna end a
Speaker 2: little early because my dear friend Mark Plumer, it's his
Speaker 2: birthday and he's been so supportive of me, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to go to his birthday party.
Speaker 1: Good better than me. I get invited to all these rallies,
Speaker 1: I don't go. It says too much. But you go
Speaker 1: to all of them. You're great, Brook Goldstein. And they
Speaker 1: contacted me today about this rally. I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it. I actually think at some point we do
Speaker 1: too many of these. I actually believe, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to say this in public, that we hurt ourselves.
Speaker 2: It's too much.
Speaker 1: You know. We gotta pick our spots, and I think
Speaker 1: that a rally every day is.
Speaker 2: A bit much.
Speaker 1: But you're a great Jew you are and a great
Speaker 1: human being and you go to these, which is important
Speaker 1: for you to be there. I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about this young tourist that was stabbed in Manhattan because
Speaker 1: this speaks directly to Kathy Hokeel and the fact that
Speaker 1: you say this all the time. There is not a
Speaker 1: governor in this country who's more patient when it comes
Speaker 1: to criminals and really fierce criminals than Kathy Hokel. Again,
Speaker 1: a young tourist stabbed in the City just a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago. This, as you say, Bruce Blakeman, is
Speaker 1: Kathy Hokeels New York.
Speaker 2: Well, you know something said, every major criminal justice initiative
Speaker 2: from Kathy Hochel has made it easier for criminals to
Speaker 2: prey on our communities. Now, usually when an elected official
Speaker 2: rolls out a criminal justice initiative, a proposal for a
Speaker 2: new law, it's to protect the communities. She doesn't want
Speaker 2: to protect the communities. She's protecting the criminals. And now
Speaker 2: a law was passed that she signed and she's going
Speaker 2: in force that won't allow local police officers and local
Speaker 2: sheriffs to cooperate with ICE. Now, in Nassau County, in
Speaker 2: the last year, we've removed two thousand illegal migrants with
Speaker 2: criminal records ranging from attempted murder, rape, robbery, burglary, kidnapping,
Speaker 2: drug dealing, gang activity. Two thousand, and that's not two
Speaker 2: thousand out of Nassau County. That's two thousand out of
Speaker 2: the region. Because they could go to the Hudson Valley,
Speaker 2: they could go into New York City, they could go
Speaker 2: to Suffer County, they could go to New Jersey, get
Speaker 2: upstate New York. We got them out of the region.
Speaker 2: We've got them out of the state. Where would Kathy
Speaker 2: Hoak like me to put those two thousand criminals back.
Speaker 2: It is just insane. She's not looking out for us.
Speaker 2: She is supporting Zoora Mandami and the far left DSA
Speaker 2: agenda to undermine the fabric of our society, which the
Speaker 2: cornerstone is public safety.
Speaker 1: I did have Tom Homan on the show a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago and we talked about because pat Ryder
Speaker 1: was on too, and he told me that this law
Speaker 1: goes into effect, honor about August twenty fifth, But you
Speaker 1: guys can't do what you've been doing in cooperation with
Speaker 1: ice because Kathy Hokel doesn't care if Nasau County becomes
Speaker 1: less safe. She's all about the Democrat narrative. So I
Speaker 1: guess it goes into effect August of twenty fifth. But
Speaker 1: Holman did say to me, Bruce that listen, nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: break the law. But but he was proud of what
Speaker 1: you guys are doing in Nashau County and that he
Speaker 1: William was hoping at least that you guys would continue
Speaker 1: to put the bad guys away no matter what Kathy.
Speaker 3: Hockel says, well, that's absolutely true. Don't think for one
Speaker 3: minute that we're going to lay down and not enforce
Speaker 3: the law and allow criminals to run rampant through our neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: That is not happening in Nasau County. When I become governor,
Speaker 3: I will not let that happen in our state. Public
Speaker 3: safety is incredibly important. People will not move in to
Speaker 3: neighborhoods where they feel unsafe. Businesses will not operate their
Speaker 3: businesses where their workers feel unsafe. It's fundamental, it's common sense,
Speaker 3: it's good judgment, all of which Kathy Hockel has none.
Speaker 1: Of that, none of it. So take me back to
Speaker 1: last Fadi for a second, Bruce, because I have to
Speaker 1: tell you, walking into that police academy, it was unbelievable
Speaker 1: the amount of patriotism and some other special people that
Speaker 1: happened to sit two rows in front of the Neutral family.
Speaker 1: And of course you know about Omar Nutra killed in
Speaker 1: October the seventh, and what a beautiful couple they are.
Speaker 1: I can't even mention all the amazing people that you
Speaker 1: had at this rally on Friday. But let's kind of
Speaker 1: get away from the Bruce Blakeman wunning for governor, county executive.
Speaker 1: He's on TV every couple of minutes. Here you are
Speaker 1: in front of thousands of people. They're chanting Bruce like
Speaker 1: you was Springsteen. You got President Trump standing right next
Speaker 1: to you, shaking your hand, telling you how great it is.
Speaker 1: I actually this once before about pinching yourself. Were you
Speaker 1: standing up there going, Wow, what an amazing opportunity. Who
Speaker 1: could have thought this could ever be me?
Speaker 2: But it is. If my teachers at Wheel or Avenue
Speaker 2: Elementary School, or Memorial Junior High School or Valley Stream
Speaker 2: Central High School saw me up there, they wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: I tell you. I said to all the kids all
Speaker 2: the time, I say, it's not where you start, it's
Speaker 2: where you finish. A lot of kids like me were
Speaker 2: busy playing basketball every day and hanging out, and we
Speaker 2: probably didn't pay as much time to our studies as
Speaker 2: we should have. And people thought that all these guys
Speaker 2: will never make it. But you know, at some point
Speaker 2: you get an epiphany and you say to yourself, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: I need to make something of myself. It happened with
Speaker 2: me at about the age of twenty one. I started
Speaker 2: saying I better get serious about life, or life is
Speaker 2: going to pass me by. So when I speak to
Speaker 2: kids all the time, said, I tell them, look, if
Speaker 2: you're not doing well in school, or you've had some
Speaker 2: setbacks in your life where your parents got divorced and
Speaker 2: you're depressed about it, you know there's a future for you.
Speaker 2: Don't get two down on yourself. Try to turn it
Speaker 2: around because it's not where you start, it's where you finished.
Speaker 2: And we've all had bumps in the road. I read
Speaker 2: your book. You've had some bumps in the road. You've
Speaker 2: had some major bumps in the road. Think about the
Speaker 2: fact you made an amazing comeback. So that's what I
Speaker 2: like to tell the young people. Don't dwell on your failures.
Speaker 2: Learn from your failures because you can learn a lot
Speaker 2: from your failures. But always remember, if you work really
Speaker 2: hard and you're focused, you can turn things around in
Speaker 2: your life.
