WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>So, as I mentioned earlier, I had the fortunate opportunity

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a you Jehnor to drop the ceremonial first puck at

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the UBS Arena before the game before Tel Aviv and

4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Jerusalem yesterday, something that the National County Executive Bruce Blakeman

5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>did last year. Bruce, as I said, I saw him

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>again yesterday, him and Mazi Pillip Long Island. Well we

7
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>represented out there at the UBS Arena. Bruce look great,

8
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>but of course not a great day for a love

9
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Long Islanders yesterday. If you look at the stands yesterday,

10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>they were about handfull of thousands of people that expected

11
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>to come to UBS on Sunday to go to the

12
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>game couldn't make it in because of the Long Island

13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>railroad strike. Now it's a Monday morning even worse, three

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand people trying to get to work in New

15
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>York City.

16
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 2>They got no way in.

17
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>So there was Bruce talking over the weekend, of course,

18
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>running for governor against the wretched, evil witch that is

19
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Hokeel, talking about what a terrible job she's done.

20
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>He's exactly right, and we are this morning to have

21
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>him on the biggest story in the city today, the

22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Long Island Railroad is on strike. I don't know why.

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>And here's my friend Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, good Monday morning, Buddy,

24
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>how are you good morning?

25
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Said, doing well? Thank you.

26
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you are.

27
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>You talked about it over the weekend, This strike that

28
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Hokeel has allowed to happen, She's blaming you, She's

29
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>blaming President Trump. She'll probably blame me. Any Republicans gets

30
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>blamed for this mess. Why is Long Island Railroad even

31
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>on strike?

32
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, first of all, the MTA is part of state government,

33
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 3>not county government, so Kathy Hockel is in control of

34
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 3>the MTA. This is a failure of leadership by Kathy Hockel.

35
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>These negotiations have been going on for months, and I'm

36
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 3>told she hasn't taken part in any of the negotiations.

37
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Union leaders have told me that she's been distant, that

38
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 3>she's been aloof that she hasn't paid attention to it.

39
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I don't blame the union leaders when

40
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>they say to me, Look, she's saying she doesn't have

41
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>the money for our workers. But she gave out eight

42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars over the last three years to illegal migrants.

43
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Who aren't New Yorkers. They're not even Americans. They've been

44
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 3>here for fifteen minutes, and they get all the money

45
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 3>and she's not giving it to New Yorkers. So that's

46
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 3>why they're on strikers because they're saying, hey, look, if

47
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>you can't pay us a little more, why are you

48
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 3>paying all the money to people who aren't New Yorkers.

49
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>It's not right and they have a good argument there.

50
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 3>I feel that, you know, the workers, they want to

51
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 3>go back to work. But again, Kathy Hopel has been AOL.

52
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Can you explain to me again this is an ASOL

53
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>county executive. He'll be our next govenor here, Bruce Blakeman,

54
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>she's blaming Trump. I'm trying to figure out, I guess,

55
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the mediation process, how does President Trump

56
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>get blamed for this obvious Kathy Hochal New York blunder Well.

57
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how she can do it. I think

58
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 3>she probably would blame him for the bubonic plague if

59
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 3>she thought she could get away with it. But he

60
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>has nothing to do with the negotiations with the union.

61
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>There are federal panels that make recommendations. They made recommendations

62
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 3>to Kathy Hokeel, and she didn't follow those recommendations. So,

63
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 3>if anything, she's the one that's not following the recommendations

64
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>of a federal railroad panel. She is somebody who is

65
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 3>completely out of touch, and that's why we're at this

66
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 3>point right now. I really feel bad for the commuters.

67
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 3>I feel bad for the small business people who are

68
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>going to lose business today. I've already heard from people

69
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend that have been stuck at the airport

70
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>couldn't get a railroad ride home. This is going to

71
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>be tough, and it's all because of Kathy Hockel.

72
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 2>It really is.

73
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 1>And as far as I know, Bruce, you know better

74
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>than me. I've been told that they're not miles apart.

75
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not like there's no way they can

76
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>do this. I've been told that it's actually very close

77
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>what the two sides want. So why would you put

78
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>New York Ankers do this pain if it really.

79
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Is that close?

80
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, again, she had five and a half billion dollars

81
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>for Zorn Montdamie to close his budget gap without any controls,

82
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 3>with any strings attached to it. I mean, New York City,

83
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 3>they don't have a revenue problem. They have a spending problem.

84
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>So does New York State. And again, when you give

85
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 3>eight billion dollars away to legal migrants, it's hard for

86
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 3>uniony leaders to go back to their members and say, well,

87
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 3>the state doesn't have the money. The members say, hey,

88
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 3>if they don't have the money, it's because they gave

89
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 3>it away to legal migrants. That's not right. And they've

90
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 3>got a good argument there.

91
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, legal migrants, like you said, and yeah, eight billion

92
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>dollars she found for Zora on Mom Donnie last week.

93
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Four billion a year for the next two years. I

94
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>was talking to Brian kill Meat. I'm a mutual friend

95
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>over at Fox News. He's on my show every day

96
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 1>here as you know, Bruce, and he said, this may

97
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>be a great opportunity for Bruce Blakeman. He also loves you.

98
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He lives in Nassau County. He said, sid, first time

99
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 1>in thirty years, I'm not being able to get home

100
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>later this afternoon. He said, maybe this is a good

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for Bruce Blakeman to actually mediate this.

102
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on that?

103
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, if I were governor, there would be no strike

104
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 3>because I would have been negotiating all along. I would

105
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 3>have gotten actively involved, and they wouldn't be able to

106
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 3>make the argument about me about the illegal migrants, because

107
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I would never make this a sanctuary state. I would

108
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>never elect I would never allow billions of dollars to

109
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 3>be spent on people that weren't New Yorkers. That's our

110
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>taxpayer dollars. There'd be spent on people. All they have

111
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 3>to do is arrive. They get free housing, free food,

112
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 3>free transportations, a free cell phone. That wouldn't happen with

113
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Bruce Blakeman as governor. I would spend the money on

114
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the people. I would cut taxes, cut your utility costs

115
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 3>in half, and create jobs in economic development, better jobs

116
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 3>for people with higher weights and better benefits.

117
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you look at the last couple of weeks, Bruce,

118
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>and you've been gaining on horror quite a bit the

119
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>last couple of months. You know, you started out nearly

120
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty points behind. Now a lot of the polls that

121
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>actually count, right, not these bull crop liberal polls, have

122
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you single digits back. And you look at again a

123
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>couple of days ago, herre giving all that money to

124
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>mom Donnie. New Yorkers don't like that. The Long Island

125
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Railroad on strike, New Yorkers don't like that her constant

126
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 1>bitching about President Trump has nothing to do. I mean,

127
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you got to think that the last couple of weeks

128
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>have been great weeks for you.

129
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, we have a lot of momentum. Said, with

130
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 3>the utility costs seventy percent higher than the national average,

131
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 3>and she's directly responsible for that, with economic development number

132
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 3>forty one out of fifty states, which is a national

133
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 3>embarrassment for the former Great Empire state with the highest

134
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>tax state in the United States. People are miserable, and

135
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 3>now they're miserable about the safety and security. Throw on

136
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>top of that the strike, Throw on top of that,

137
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 3>the corrections officers strike, Throw on top of that the

138
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 3>nurses strike. She's not in control of government, and government

139
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.240
<v Speaker 3>is now out of control. They're spending money at crazy levels.

140
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 3>People have had enough.

141
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Bruce.

142
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought you said a really smart thing over the weekend, too, right.

143
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, another thing that she did to this city,

144
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>which she boasted about for a while, but now everyone

145
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>knows it's not working. Everyone that's congestion pricing. You said, Hey, Kathy, sweetheart,

146
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 1>if you're already screwing New Yorkers that can't get to

147
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 1>work if they have to drive in. Now they have

148
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 1>to drive in, you would have a lot of balls

149
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 1>to charge them nine plus dollars for congestion pricing. The

150
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 1>least you can do is to spend that tax, that

151
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>punitive charge until you fix the strike. I thought that

152
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 1>was brilliant. I don't think she'll do it, but I

153
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a great idea.

154
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 3>Bruce, Well, you know, that's the least she could do

155
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 3>because now you know, not only do people have to

156
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 3>get up two hours earlier to drive into the city,

157
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 3>but they have to pay that nine dollars to drive downtown.

158
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>And she has the ability to waive that, and she

159
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 3>should because it's you know, you talk about this state

160
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 3>being affordable, this is the most unaffordable state in the

161
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 3>United States, and Kathy Hoak has made it that way

162
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 3>with taxes, congestion pricing, all these add on fees, degree

163
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 3>and energy scam. So the least she could do is

164
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 3>waive it during the strike. But she won't do that,

165
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.680
<v Speaker 3>and she won't do it because she doesn't want to

166
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 3>do it. She doesn't want to help out common middle

167
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 3>class New Yorkers who have to get to work.

168
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 1>So is there going to be a meeting today, Bruce,

169
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 1>with maybe you and edwal Maine out of Selfon County,

170
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>somebody to figure out some contingency plans to try to

171
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>help your constituents trying to get to work in New

172
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 1>York City today.

173
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, we're doing the best we can. So we're adding

174
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 3>on additional buses for our roots. We're opening up our

175
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 3>parking lots at all of our parks or car pooling.

176
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>But there's not much we can do because again, the

177
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 3>railroad is something that over three hundred thousand commuters depend

178
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 3>on daily and we need that railroad open. Kathy Hokle

179
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 3>should have been bargaining all weekend. I don't know what

180
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 3>she was doing all weekend, but she should have been

181
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>at the bargaining table negotiating with the union, and she

182
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 3>should have tried to strike a deal last one.

183
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Bruce, again, I mentioned at the top of this conversation,

184
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I saw you yesterday at the UBS arena, you and

185
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Mazzi Pillop and it's always a gracious and beautiful and

186
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>people love you. They're going nuts in the arena, and

187
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>you did a nice press conference and ers and signing autographs.

188
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Really is a great event. I didn't go last year.

189
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday it was the first time I've been to this

190
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>second anual Tel Aviv Jerusalem game, and it was right

191
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 1>there in your County Ubs arena. That was a good

192
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 1>time yesterday.

193
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it was a great time. People were having a

194
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 3>lot of fun. It was a good athletic competition, and

195
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 3>there was a spirit of good feelings towards the state

196
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 3>of Israel, America's number one ally now. So yeah, it

197
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 3>was a great feeling for everybody. It was a good

198
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 3>athletic competition too.

199
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Really was a pretty good game. One more on Israel.

200
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>So, in all likelihood, our mutual friend who you are

201
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 1>with for like ninety minutes less than two weeks ago

202
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Oval Office, the Great President Donald J. Trump,

203
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it looks like we're getting ready to restart this thing.

204
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Iran is not responding. I know you're not surprised either,

205
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>am either as Trump. So most people predict Wednesday or

206
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Thursday we're going back in and what that means is

207
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 1>it could be a long couple of weeks again for

208
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the people in Israel.

209
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Any thoughts on that.

210
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, you know, the president, he doesn't want to

211
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 3>put our soldiers in harm's way. He wants to do

212
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 3>everything possible to try and not have the soldiers go

213
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 3>in and fight again. But he's left with no choice.

214
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 3>We can't let Iran get a nuclear weapon. That would

215
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 3>be a danger to everybody in the world, but especially

216
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 3>here in New York. We saw what they did on

217
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 3>nine to eleven. They're perfectly willing to say, sacrifice their

218
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 3>own lives to kill three thousand New Yorkers. They would

219
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 3>do it for three million New Yorkers and think nothing

220
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 3>about it. The leaders ev Rad could kill three million

221
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 3>Americans and go to bed and not miss a wink

222
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>of sleep. They have no conscience. They're evil and they

223
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 3>would do that. And they cannot have a nuclear weapon.

224
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 3>So I support President Trump.

225
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And if you kill Kathy, on me too. And when

226
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 1>you kill Kathy Hulkel, you've done a great job with

227
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>this too.

228
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Bruce.

229
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 1>You know you do what I do. You go to

230
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Hokeel and Mam Donnie. I think Mam Donnie needs a

231
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a history lesson he he's really a

232
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>coward and a creep. Hectly purposely put out a video

233
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>this weekend about knack ba Day, which nobody in New

234
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>York knows what the hell this guy's talking about. But

235
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he purposely did it on Shabbat, on the Sabbath to

236
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>really stick it to the Jews. And clearly, Mam Donnie

237
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>needs a history lesson as to what really happened in

238
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forty eight, won five Arab nations, five of them

239
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 1>attacked Israel, and Israel defended themselves and do what the

240
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>always do, They kicked their asses. That's what happened in

241
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forty eight. So I'm not sure what knock bad

242
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Day is, but I thought it was pretty grotesque of

243
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>this mayor to come out looking for Palestinian sympathy and

244
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 1>really rewrite history and do it on Shabbat this weekend.

245
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts on Mamdani.

246
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's disgraceful. He's an anti Semite. And I got

247
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 3>to tell you, whether you're Jewish, whether you're Christian, it

248
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter. When I travel around New York City, there's

249
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 3>buyer's remorse. People are young, people are coming up to

250
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 3>me and telling me this guy hasn't done a thing

251
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 3>that he said he would do. It's more affordable now

252
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 3>to live in New York. He offered free bus rides,

253
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 3>he increased the fare the day after the election. So

254
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 3>this guy is not the real deal. He's a bad guy.

255
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 3>He's inexperienced, and he's an anti Semite, and he's got

256
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 3>un American values.

257
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's wrap this up when we started this. This is

258
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the Nasaul County executive. He will be folks, There's no

259
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>question he will be the next Covenant of New York.

260
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Why he's the much better person, He's a much better candidate.

261
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>He actually loves his city in the state, unlike again

262
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the wicked witch Kathy Hulkl Bruce, give it to me, baby,

263
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Give me your message. Holcl's listening, trust me. Give me

264
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>your message to the governor on this strike right now.

265
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Sit down, first thing this morning, make a deal. You've

266
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 3>been giving money to illegal migrants. You can't make the

267
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 3>argument to union leaders that you don't have the money

268
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 3>after you did that. Spend the money on New Yorkers

269
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 3>and this strike.

270
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Bruce, you're beautiful. I love you.

271
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 1>It's great seeing you yesterday. You sound great this morning,

272
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're our savior. You're going to ride in like

273
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>your beautiful white hair on that beautiful white horse and

274
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 1>save our state here in New York.

275
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Blakeman, thank you so much.

276
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.399
<v Speaker 3>You're the best. Said thanks so much.

277
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Look who's talking there. He is a Nasau County executive

278
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and soon to beat, thank god, the governor here in

279
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>New York. My dear friend Bruce Blakeman will take a break.

280
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Three more hours to come the Monday edition of Hidden

281
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>Friends in the morning.
