WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast. What a

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>day that was at the Police Academy in Garden City.

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>President Trump, not only him, Todd blanche was there and

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Cash Pateel, Caroline Levitt, all the Congress people, all the

5
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>people on Long Island that are in office and running

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 1>for office. It was amazing and really the best part

7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of all was right behind the stage on the podium

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>where Trump and Blakeman spoke from, were a lot and

9
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of cops, female, male cops. Cops

10
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>everywhere because of course, the theme last Friday was public

11
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>safety and nobody does it better than Bruce Blakeman, pat

12
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Ryder and Donnelly, all the amazing folks in Nassau County.

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Bruce was amazing. He spoke twice. He spoke before the President.

14
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Then as you heard the President called him up on stage.

15
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>He was kind enough to say all lo to me

16
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and Trump. Trump unleashed a smile like you never saw.

17
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>You can see it's on my social media at Rosenberg

18
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>dot Sydney on Instagram, at sid Rosenberg nineteen on Twitter,

19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Sid Rosenberg on Facebook, sim Rosenberg on truth social Ear

20
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 1>to ear. Trump was smiling when Blakeman pointed me out,

21
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>and then we weren't done. Then we opted in a motorca.

22
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>The great Tom Sullivan went to the Hamptons and Bruce

23
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>was great again spoke at the Home, the beautiful home,

24
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I must say of Bob and Lamenta Dave Roberts. We

25
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>arrived when Steve Whitkoff was still speaking, star started cast

26
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 1>O'deedle was there, Bert Capone, Suzanne Miller, a whole bunch

27
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>of big time people, Arie Ackerman, and we still weren't done.

28
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>If the Bruce spoke barn was tremendous. Bruce was kind

29
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>enough to take about a dozen of us to dinner

30
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>at some trendy place in Southampton. I think it's called

31
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 1>seventy five Mean. And then finally after my friend Lauren,

32
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>who's married to the amazing Finton, took us to the

33
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>restaurant Anthony Fromassapiko drove me home and the day was over.

34
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>But what an unbelievable day. It was starred by my

35
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 1>man Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, your amazing last Friday, Oh.

36
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like half a day, said come on, we

37
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>have a bigger date in that every day?

38
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 1>You really do? I know, I see your schedule. I

39
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>talked to my son Gabriel, who's still working for. He's

40
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>still working for He's like, this guy's everywhere every day,

41
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>some days on Long Island, lots of days in the

42
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 1>northern part of the state because you're campaigning for governor.

43
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean your days literally, these days are like eighteen

44
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>hours long.

45
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we just finished a three day swing in western

46
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>New York, Chester, Buffalo, every point in between, Wyoming County,

47
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Orleans County, Shenango County. Where else were we I'm trying

48
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>to remember all the places we were at, Genesee County,

49
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Monroe County, Erie County. It was amazing. The people are

50
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>fired up, They're miserable under Kathy Hochel. They desperately want change.

51
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>So it was a labor of love. It was a

52
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>sense of duty, and we went from early in the

53
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>morning to late night every day there. Now I'm back

54
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>on Long Island. I'm taking care of some county business

55
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 2>today and we're going to shoot in the city. We've

56
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 2>got a rally against anti Semitism in the city, and

57
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>we've got so many other things going on. That's then

58
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm ending the night tonight. I'm gonna end a

59
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>little early because my dear friend Mark Plumer, it's his

60
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>birthday and he's been so supportive of me, so I'm

61
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>going to go to his birthday party.

62
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Good better than me. I get invited to all these rallies,

63
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't go. It says too much. But you go

64
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 1>to all of them. You're great, Brook Goldstein. And they

65
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 1>contacted me today about this rally. I'm like, I'm not

66
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>doing it. I actually think at some point we do

67
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>too many of these. I actually believe, and I'm going

68
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to say this in public, that we hurt ourselves.

69
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>It's too much.

70
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>You know. We gotta pick our spots, and I think

71
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>that a rally every day is.

72
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>A bit much.

73
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>But you're a great Jew you are and a great

74
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>human being and you go to these, which is important

75
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>for you to be there. I do want to talk

76
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>about this young tourist that was stabbed in Manhattan because

77
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this speaks directly to Kathy Hokeel and the fact that

78
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you say this all the time. There is not a

79
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>governor in this country who's more patient when it comes

80
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 1>to criminals and really fierce criminals than Kathy Hokel. Again,

81
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a young tourist stabbed in the City just a couple

82
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>of days ago. This, as you say, Bruce Blakeman, is

83
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Hokeels New York.

84
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know something said, every major criminal justice initiative

85
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 2>from Kathy Hochel has made it easier for criminals to

86
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 2>prey on our communities. Now, usually when an elected official

87
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>rolls out a criminal justice initiative, a proposal for a

88
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>new law, it's to protect the communities. She doesn't want

89
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>to protect the communities. She's protecting the criminals. And now

90
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a law was passed that she signed and she's going

91
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 2>in force that won't allow local police officers and local

92
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>sheriffs to cooperate with ICE. Now, in Nassau County, in

93
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the last year, we've removed two thousand illegal migrants with

94
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>criminal records ranging from attempted murder, rape, robbery, burglary, kidnapping,

95
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>drug dealing, gang activity. Two thousand, and that's not two

96
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand out of Nassau County. That's two thousand out of

97
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>the region. Because they could go to the Hudson Valley,

98
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>they could go into New York City, they could go

99
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>to Suffer County, they could go to New Jersey, get

100
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>upstate New York. We got them out of the region.

101
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>We've got them out of the state. Where would Kathy

102
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Hoak like me to put those two thousand criminals back.

103
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>It is just insane. She's not looking out for us.

104
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>She is supporting Zoora Mandami and the far left DSA

105
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>agenda to undermine the fabric of our society, which the

106
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>cornerstone is public safety.

107
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I did have Tom Homan on the show a couple

108
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of days ago and we talked about because pat Ryder

109
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>was on too, and he told me that this law

110
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>goes into effect, honor about August twenty fifth, But you

111
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>guys can't do what you've been doing in cooperation with

112
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>ice because Kathy Hokel doesn't care if Nasau County becomes

113
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>less safe. She's all about the Democrat narrative. So I

114
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 1>guess it goes into effect August of twenty fifth. But

115
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Holman did say to me, Bruce that listen, nobody's gonna

116
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>break the law. But but he was proud of what

117
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys are doing in Nashau County and that he

118
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>William was hoping at least that you guys would continue

119
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>to put the bad guys away no matter what Kathy.

120
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Hockel says, well, that's absolutely true. Don't think for one

121
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 3>minute that we're going to lay down and not enforce

122
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 3>the law and allow criminals to run rampant through our neighborhoods.

123
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 3>That is not happening in Nasau County. When I become governor,

124
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I will not let that happen in our state. Public

125
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 3>safety is incredibly important. People will not move in to

126
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 3>neighborhoods where they feel unsafe. Businesses will not operate their

127
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>businesses where their workers feel unsafe. It's fundamental, it's common sense,

128
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.319
<v Speaker 3>it's good judgment, all of which Kathy Hockel has none.

129
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Of that, none of it. So take me back to

130
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 1>last Fadi for a second, Bruce, because I have to

131
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>tell you, walking into that police academy, it was unbelievable

132
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 1>the amount of patriotism and some other special people that

133
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>happened to sit two rows in front of the Neutral family.

134
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>And of course you know about Omar Nutra killed in

135
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 1>October the seventh, and what a beautiful couple they are.

136
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 1>I can't even mention all the amazing people that you

137
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>had at this rally on Friday. But let's kind of

138
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>get away from the Bruce Blakeman wunning for governor, county executive.

139
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>He's on TV every couple of minutes. Here you are

140
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>in front of thousands of people. They're chanting Bruce like

141
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you was Springsteen. You got President Trump standing right next

142
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 1>to you, shaking your hand, telling you how great it is.

143
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I actually this once before about pinching yourself. Were you

144
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>standing up there going, Wow, what an amazing opportunity. Who

145
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>could have thought this could ever be me?

146
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>But it is. If my teachers at Wheel or Avenue

147
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Elementary School, or Memorial Junior High School or Valley Stream

148
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Central High School saw me up there, they wouldn't believe it.

149
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I tell you. I said to all the kids all

150
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 2>the time, I say, it's not where you start, it's

151
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>where you finish. A lot of kids like me were

152
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 2>busy playing basketball every day and hanging out, and we

153
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 2>probably didn't pay as much time to our studies as

154
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 2>we should have. And people thought that all these guys

155
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>will never make it. But you know, at some point

156
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>you get an epiphany and you say to yourself, hey, listen,

157
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I need to make something of myself. It happened with

158
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.360
<v Speaker 2>me at about the age of twenty one. I started

159
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>saying I better get serious about life, or life is

160
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>going to pass me by. So when I speak to

161
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>kids all the time, said, I tell them, look, if

162
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>you're not doing well in school, or you've had some

163
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>setbacks in your life where your parents got divorced and

164
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you're depressed about it, you know there's a future for you.

165
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't get two down on yourself. Try to turn it

166
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>around because it's not where you start, it's where you finished.

167
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 2>And we've all had bumps in the road. I read

168
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 2>your book. You've had some bumps in the road. You've

169
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>had some major bumps in the road. Think about the

170
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>fact you made an amazing comeback. So that's what I

171
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.919
<v Speaker 2>like to tell the young people. Don't dwell on your failures.

172
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Learn from your failures because you can learn a lot

173
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 2>from your failures. But always remember, if you work really

174
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>hard and you're focused, you can turn things around in

175
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 2>your life.
