Speaker 1: I'm running out.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast. Well, I'm
Speaker 2: going to be in the Hampton Sunday, and anytime I
Speaker 2: go to Long Island it's a tweat. I was there
Speaker 2: last week to speak, as you guys know, for the
Speaker 2: interns for Bruce Blakeman, who's running a tremendous campaign. My son,
Speaker 2: Gabriel doesn't want to leave. I'm like, gay, when is
Speaker 2: your last day for Blakeman? He goes, it could be
Speaker 2: August seventh, it could be August fourteenth, it could be
Speaker 2: Labor Day.
Speaker 1: I go, you're kidding me.
Speaker 2: The kid loves it and he loves Bruce Blakeman. So
Speaker 2: with that said, here he is our next governor, My
Speaker 2: great friend, Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, good morning, buddy.
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great Sitting by the way, Gabriel is doing
Speaker 3: a great job. He's a great kid. I have great interns.
Speaker 3: They come from all walks of life. They're really bright kids.
Speaker 3: They learn about government and we learn something from them.
Speaker 3: Because to know what's going going on right now all
Speaker 3: across the state, you have to rely on young people.
Speaker 3: They're the ones that we're really fighting for their future.
Speaker 3: We're fighting to make sure that they can get a
Speaker 3: good job, that taxes don't kill them, that electric rates
Speaker 3: don't kill them, and that they have an opportunity to
Speaker 3: raise families and communities that have good jobs and that
Speaker 3: are safe. So I love having the kids around us.
Speaker 3: They do an amazing job. They learn from us, and
Speaker 3: we learn from them.
Speaker 2: I love what you just said, and you're right, and
Speaker 2: you're fighting for their future. But you're also, Bruce Blakeman,
Speaker 2: fighting for their votes because when you look back at
Speaker 2: this disgraceful mayor who are also running against I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, you got to run against two people, the
Speaker 2: horrible governor and the horrible mayor, two people. But he
Speaker 2: won not because they flew in Muslim voters, not because
Speaker 2: they cheated in all the ballots. He won because of
Speaker 2: young people that were enthusiastic and couldn't wait to vote
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: So you have to deal with that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, But when you talk and communicate with these
Speaker 3: young people, it's very very interesting. So I talked to
Speaker 3: some kids at Washington Square and we talked about issues,
Speaker 3: and I asked this woman, I said, young woman, she's
Speaker 3: an NYU student. I said, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3: I said, do you like socialism? She said yeah, And
Speaker 3: I said, what do you like about it? She said, well,
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's spreading out the wealth and letting
Speaker 3: everybody you know have a piece of the action. And
Speaker 3: I said to well, what about somebody who works really
Speaker 3: hard and achieves a lot and someone who's lazy. Do
Speaker 3: you take the lazy ones should get the same? She said, well,
Speaker 3: I don't know. She said, is lazy something that's an affliction?
Speaker 3: Or I said, no, lazy is lazy. So I said,
Speaker 3: are you a good students? She said yeah, I'm a
Speaker 3: straight A student. I said, well, well how about we
Speaker 3: make you a bet student and someone getting a C
Speaker 3: we raised them to a bee. We average it out.
Speaker 3: And she's like, well, I wouldn't like that. I said,
Speaker 3: well that's socialism.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so great. Boy, that is great. Look at you.
Speaker 1: That is great.
Speaker 2: But what you're the story you just told that was great, Bruce,
Speaker 2: is the same story I heard on the ferry. I
Speaker 2: always bring this up all summer last year, same thing.
Speaker 2: Young girls on the way to the beach, just went
Speaker 2: the Starbucks in Brooklyn or Manhattan, don't really have a job,
Speaker 2: live with their two girlfriends and a five thousand dollars apartment.
Speaker 2: By the way, their parents.
Speaker 1: Have plenty of money. Plenty of money.
Speaker 2: They like money, They like going out at night, they
Speaker 2: like going a Starbucks for an eight dollar a cup
Speaker 2: of coffee.
Speaker 1: They like going to the.
Speaker 2: Beach, and they couldn't wait the buff for mom Donnie
Speaker 2: because he was gonna make it even Really, he's gonna
Speaker 2: take your money away. To your point, he's gonna take
Speaker 2: your good grades away. The point is they don't even
Speaker 2: know what the hell they're talking about. They're young, they're smart,
Speaker 2: they've got potential, they're certainly impressionable, but honestly, they have
Speaker 2: no idea what the hell they're talking about.
Speaker 3: What'll sidle. Let me tell you a story. I'm talking
Speaker 3: with some guys upstate in New York who have some
Speaker 3: pretty substantial businesses. And at the beginning of the summer,
Speaker 3: they hired a summer worker. And the worker got his
Speaker 3: first paycheck and he goes to HR and he goes,
Speaker 3: there's a mistake on my check, and they said, well,
Speaker 3: what's the mistake. He said, well, I was supposed to
Speaker 3: earn eight hundred dollars for this week and I'm only
Speaker 3: getting six hundred and thirty nine dollars. You made a mistake,
Speaker 3: and they said, no, we took out for taxi. And
Speaker 3: the kid goes, they take out for taxes, and he goes, yeah.
Speaker 3: This kid's like, well that sucks.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: No, I know. They think they're getting eight hundred when
Speaker 2: they make eight hundred. And that goes right to the
Speaker 2: root of this race. And let me do the talking
Speaker 2: for you, because you deserve it. Okay, far as I know,
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, And now your second term as Nashau
Speaker 2: County Executive in a pretty apploment area, you've never raised
Speaker 2: taxes once, not once. This guy, Mom Donnie is taxing
Speaker 2: everybody up the s everybody. People are leaving. Hoko is
Speaker 2: right there with him. Yeah, once in a while, she says,
Speaker 2: so many people want to hear. But you know, if
Speaker 2: God rabitch wins, oh, just wait to watch what she
Speaker 2: does with taxes. So in this story you told about taxes,
Speaker 2: there's only one person who does the right thing when
Speaker 2: it comes to taxes, and that's you.
Speaker 3: Well, we don't have a revenue problem, said, we have
Speaker 3: a spending problem. The State of New York's budget is
Speaker 3: twice the amount of the state of Florida. And there's
Speaker 3: four million more people in Florida. And the last time
Speaker 3: I went down to Florida, it looked like they got
Speaker 3: some pretty good services from government down there. So you
Speaker 3: look at New York, New York eight million people, their
Speaker 3: budgets bigger than the state of Florida. And there's almost
Speaker 3: twenty five million people in the state of Florida. So
Speaker 3: where's the money going. It's going to fraud, waste, abuse,
Speaker 3: programs that don't work. I want to deliver quality programs.
Speaker 3: I want to give people better services, but it's got
Speaker 3: to be cost efficient and it's got to be programs
Speaker 3: that actually produce results. And by the way, if we
Speaker 3: have a problem with revenue, why are we giving eight
Speaker 3: billion dollars of your tax money to people who aren't
Speaker 3: New Yorkers. To legal migrants who get free food, free transportation,
Speaker 3: free food, and a free cell phone, they get more
Speaker 3: than New Yorkers. It's insane. Kaffy Oakle's giving away your money.
Speaker 2: The other thing is what you guys did well in
Speaker 2: Nashaull County, Well said you and Masi pillow right. You
Speaker 2: took the masks off the bad guys, and for some
Speaker 2: reason in New York, Kathy Hochel, She's okay with the
Speaker 2: bad guys wearing masks. Pohamosos are the bad guys, but
Speaker 2: the good guys okay. And I know we got Minnesota
Speaker 2: and Maine. I'm aware, Okay, but that's four compared to
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of very dangerous people
Speaker 2: taking off the streets, maybe two hundred thousand to four,
Speaker 2: pretty good ratio.
Speaker 1: She wants to take the mask off of them.
Speaker 2: And we know that these cycles on that side are
Speaker 2: not a praid to show up at a Supreme Court
Speaker 2: judge's house. They're not afraid to shoot an Ice agent
Speaker 2: in the street, but try to kill the president. So
Speaker 2: you guys worked extra hard to take the masks off
Speaker 2: the bad guys. She wants to take the masks off
Speaker 2: the good guys. Thank god. A federal judging yesterday said no, no,
Speaker 2: we're not doing that.
Speaker 1: What are you nuts?
Speaker 2: But there it is, at the very core, she wants
Speaker 2: to protect the bad guys, you want to protect the
Speaker 2: good guys.
Speaker 3: Well, just in my county last months, someone who entered
Speaker 3: this country illegally stabbed two women to death. Remember yep, and.
Speaker 1: Not even in the same place. He went to like
Speaker 1: different places to do that.
Speaker 3: He went to two different places. And you rarely hear
Speaker 3: that in the mainstream media. You got to listen to
Speaker 3: your show or some other conservative shows to hear about this.
Speaker 3: So they never they never talk about the illegal migrants
Speaker 3: who kill people, rape people, rob people, are dealing in drugs,
Speaker 3: are getting and recruiting our kids into gang activity. And
Speaker 3: Kaffy Hockel, this is why she's the worst governor in America.
Speaker 3: Kathy Hockel says that anti semi and anarchists who fight
Speaker 3: our cops should be able to wear a mask, but
Speaker 3: law enforcement officers who need to be undercover, who need
Speaker 3: to be covered up to protect their identity, she wants
Speaker 3: to unmask them. That's a disgrace. She doesn't back our cops,
Speaker 3: she doesn't back our law enforcement. She's not a governor
Speaker 3: that wants to make safer communities for our kids and
Speaker 3: our grandkids. So that's why I'm running for governor. Cut taxes,
Speaker 3: cut utility bills, which are seventy percent higher than the
Speaker 3: nation's average, and make for safer communities. And you know what,
Speaker 3: that's why I'm going to win sid because seventy percent
Speaker 3: of the people in New York State want the same
Speaker 3: exact thing.
Speaker 1: I think even more probably. And I got to tell you.
Speaker 2: I know I told you this on the year last week,
Speaker 2: but I had a conversation and I was shocked.
Speaker 1: Actually how excited he was to talk to me with
Speaker 1: Ruben Diaz.
Speaker 2: And I called him on your behalf and I said, Rubyen,
Speaker 2: we want to come out. Bruce specifically wants to come out.
Speaker 2: He wants to spend time with the African American community,
Speaker 2: obviously the Latino community. And he said, we can't wait
Speaker 2: to have him. He said, just see a No, we're
Speaker 2: voting for him on two lines. Okay, he is going
Speaker 2: to end up with votes in vote the Republican on
Speaker 2: the conservative line.
Speaker 1: We can't wait to do something with Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 2: I want to open my church to Bruce Blakeman any Thursday,
Speaker 2: you guys want to I.
Speaker 1: Want up with my church to Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 2: So the folks out there that are trying to figure
Speaker 2: out what you're doing on a daily basis, not only
Speaker 2: are you still running Nasau.
Speaker 1: County and doing it great, You're all over the state.
Speaker 1: You're in Rochester, you're in Utica. You're in Syracuse, You're.
Speaker 2: In Albany, You're in Binghamton, and now starts to push
Speaker 2: Latinos African Americans. You're gonna hit every one of these
Speaker 2: communities every week.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, Reuben Diaz is a wonderful guy, and he's
Speaker 3: a god loving guy. He cares about America. He loves America.
Speaker 3: So to have him on my side is truly a blessing.
Speaker 3: And yes, I've been in the Dominican community. I went
Speaker 3: to the Dominican Bronx Parade, where quite frankly, the Democrats
Speaker 3: banned me from speaking, because you know that's what they do.
Speaker 3: They're dictators, They're authoritarian, and I'm gonna be at the
Speaker 3: Dominican Parade in Manhattan. I've been endorsed by the Governor
Speaker 3: of Puerto Rica, so I've gone to discuss issues with
Speaker 3: middle class African American and Caribbean Americans and Southeast Queens.
Speaker 3: I've been with Russian Americans in Brooklyn. I'm on my
Speaker 3: way up state right now. I had a rally with
Speaker 3: Italian Americans in Litle Italy in Lower Manhattan to one
Speaker 3: on Mowberry Street.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I want to tell you about
Speaker 2: that because a lot of those guys here that day,
Speaker 2: as you know, all my friends, it was Friday. I
Speaker 2: was in Pennsylvania with Danielle and Ava. They loved you
Speaker 2: there in Italy on body they said you were amazing.
Speaker 1: You won Joe Hernandez.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, they love me so much they changed
Speaker 3: my name to Bruno.
Speaker 1: I love it, love it.
Speaker 2: You're doing all these rallies and all these communities, you're everywhere.
Speaker 3: Wow, Listen, this is a mission to save our state.
Speaker 3: We're in a death spiral right now. Said we're fifty
Speaker 3: out of fifty states and economic outlook, I mean, no
Speaker 3: wonder why are you? Young? People don't want to live here,
Speaker 3: and therefore I concern things around. I know what needs
Speaker 3: to be done. We just got to get back to
Speaker 3: common sense principles, good judgment, American values and create jobs
Speaker 3: and create prosperity for people that get better jobs with
Speaker 3: better benefits, less taxes, lower utility bills. That's how you
Speaker 3: make people happy. They're miserable now under Kathy Hockel, I
Speaker 3: just want to make New Yorkers happy.
Speaker 1: You make me happy. You're so nice. I got one
Speaker 1: more for you. Did you not work for the Port Authority?
Speaker 1: At one point.
Speaker 3: I know you did. I was a commissioner of the
Speaker 3: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for eight years.
Speaker 2: Eight years the Port Authority, So this is going to
Speaker 2: hit close to home for you.
Speaker 1: We're about to commemorate twenty five years. I know you
Speaker 1: listen to me every day.
Speaker 2: I am beating this drama I had earlier Today, Bill Donnie,
Speaker 2: you want from the Catholic League. He's written a long
Speaker 2: letter urging Mamdanie not to com nine to eleven. I
Speaker 2: brought on survivors, victims, the families I put on, the
Speaker 2: guy that started the petition. I'm bringing on another lady tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I am on a mission to keep this mayor away.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I know I can't do it, and I know the
Speaker 2: odds are stacked against me. But I also know that
Speaker 2: the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine
Speaker 2: to eleven families, don't want this anti American mayor there.
Speaker 2: So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come
Speaker 2: or not, or if you a governor, if you would
Speaker 2: stop him from coming or not.
Speaker 1: I want, as a.
Speaker 2: Guy that worked with a port authority, who lost people
Speaker 2: that day, I want you to tell me do you
Speaker 2: think the mayor should show up.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, said I don't know if you
Speaker 3: know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on
Speaker 3: that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens, my sister Linder's older boy,
Speaker 3: oldest boy. I'm Sorryty six years old Army veteran, volunteer firefighter,
Speaker 3: New York State Court officer, was giving first day to
Speaker 3: a woman who was severely burned and Tower two when
Speaker 3: it collapsed on him. We never got a body or DNA.
Speaker 3: We only got his side arm and his badge. So
Speaker 3: it's very personal to me. I am a family member
Speaker 3: and I don't think zoron Mndami should go. It's as
Speaker 3: if you know someone's having a wake and they asked
Speaker 3: you not to go to the wake for personal reasons,
Speaker 3: you wouldn't go. So I mean, I don't think he
Speaker 3: should go. But here's where I'm going to say. If
Speaker 3: he's hell bent on going, I think people have a
Speaker 3: way to respectfully protest that. Turn your back on him,
Speaker 3: don't say anything to him, don't make a ruckus be
Speaker 3: solemn because it is a solemn day. Just turn your
Speaker 3: back on him
Speaker 2: Much like the cops did to Bood the Blasio years ago, right,
Speaker 2: same thing, same thing,
