1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be in the Hampton Sunday, and anytime

2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I go to Long Island it's a tweat. I was

3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.519
<v Speaker 1>there last week to speak, as you guys know, for

4
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the interns for Bruce Blakeman, who's running a tremendous campaign.

5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>My son, Gabriel doesn't want to leave. I'm like, gay,

6
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>when is your last day of Blakeman? He goes, it

7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>could be August seventh, it could be August fourteenth, it

8
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>could be Labor Day. I go, you're kidding me. The

9
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>kid loves it and he loves Bruce Blakeman. So with

10
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>that said, here he is our next governor. My great friend,

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, good morning, buddy, how are you.

12
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great Sitting by the way, Gabriel's doing a

13
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>great job. He's a great kid. I have great interns.

14
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 2>They come from all walks of life. They're really bright kids.

15
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 2>They learn about government and we learn something from them.

16
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Because to know what's going on right now all across

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the state, you have to rely on young people. They're

18
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the ones that we're really fighting for their future. We're

19
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>fighting to make sure that they can get a good job,

20
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>that taxes don't kill them, that electric rates don't kill them,

21
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and that they have an opportunity to raise families in

22
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 2>communities that have good jobs and that are safe. So

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>I love having the kids around us. They do an

24
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>amazing job. They learn from us, and we learn from them.

25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>I love what you just said, and you're right, and

26
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>you're fighting for their future. But you're also, Bruce Blakeman,

27
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 1>fighting for their votes because when you look back at

28
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>this disgraceful mayor who are also running against I mean,

29
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got to run against two people, the

30
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 1>horrible governor and the horrible mayor, two people. But he

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>won not because they flew in Muslim voters, not because

32
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>they cheated in all the ballots. He won because of

33
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 1>young people that were enthusiastic and couldn't wait to vote

34
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>for him. So you have to deal with that too.

35
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, But when you talk and communicate with these

36
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>young people, it's very very interesting. So I talked to

37
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>some kids at Washington Square and we talked about issues

38
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>and I asked this woman, I said, young woman, she

39
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>was an NYU student. I said, let me ask you

40
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a question. I said, do you like socialism? She said yeah?

41
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>And I said, what do you like about it. She said, well,

42
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, it's spreading out the wealth and letting

43
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody you know, have a piece of the action. And

44
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I said to well, what about somebody who works really

45
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 2>hard and achieves a lot and someone who's lazy. Do

46
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>you take the lazy once you get the same She said, well,

47
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, she said, is lazy something that's an affliction?

48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Or I said, no, lazy is lazy? So I said,

49
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>are you a good students? She said yeah, I'm a

50
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>straight A student. I said, well, well how about we

51
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>make you a B student and someone getting a C

52
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>we raised them to a bee. We average it out.

53
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, well, I wouldn't like that. I said,

54
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 2>oh that socialism.

55
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's so great. Oh that is great. Look at you.

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>That is great. But what you're the story you just

57
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>told that was great, Bruce, is the same story I

58
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>heard on the ferry. I always bring this up all

59
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>summer last year, same thing. Young girls on the way

60
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to the beach just went the Starbucks in Brooklyn or Manhattan,

61
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>don't really have a job, live with their two girlfriends

62
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 1>and a five thousand dollars apartment. By the way, their

63
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>parents have plenty of money, plenty of money. They like money.

64
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>They like going out at night, they like going a

65
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Starbucks for an eight dollar cup of coffee, they like

66
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>going to the beach. And they couldn't wait the buff

67
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>for mom Donnie, because he was gonna make it even Really,

68
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna take your money away. To your point, he's

69
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna take your good grades away. The point is they

70
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what the hell they're talking about. They're young,

71
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 1>they're smart, they've got potential, they're certainly impressionable, but honestly,

72
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 1>they have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

73
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, Sidle, let me tell you a story. I'm talking

74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 2>with some guys upstate in New York who have some

75
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty substantial businesses. And at the beginning of the summer,

76
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>they had a summer worker. And the worker got his

77
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>first paycheck and he goes to HR and he goes, h,

78
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a mistake on my check. And they said, well,

79
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>what's the mistake. He said, well, I was supposed to

80
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>earn eight hundred dollars for this week and I'm only

81
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>getting six hundred and thirty nine dollars. You made a mistake.

82
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>And they said, no, we took out for taxi and

83
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the kid goes, they take out for taxes, and he goes, Yeah.

84
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 2>This kid's like, well that sucks.

85
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, no, I know. They think they're getting eight

86
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred when they make eight hundred. And that goes right

87
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>to the root of this race. And let me do

88
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the talking for you, because you deserve it, okay, far

89
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>as I know, if I'm wrong, And now your second

90
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>term as Nashau County Executive in a pretty applement area,

91
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>you've never raised taxes once, not once. This guy, mom

92
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Donnie is taxing everybody up the s everybody. People are leaving.

93
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Ho goal is right there with them. Yeah, once in

94
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a while she says something people want to hear. But

95
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, if God rabitch wins, oh, just wait to

96
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>watch what she does with taxes. So, in this story

97
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 1>you told about taxes, there's only one person who does

98
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>the right thing when it comes to taxes, and that's you.

99
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, we don't have a revenue problem, said, we have

100
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>a spending problem. The State of New York's budget is

101
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 2>twice the amount of the state of Florida, and there's

102
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>four million more people in Florida. And the last time

103
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>I went down to Florida. It looked like they got

104
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 2>some pretty good services from government down there. So you

105
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>look at New York, New York, eight million people, their

106
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 2>budgets bigger than the state of Florida. And there's almost

107
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty five million people in the state of Florida. So

108
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>where's the money going. It's going to fraud, waste, abuse

109
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>programs that don't work. I want to deliver quality programs.

110
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to get people better services, but it's got

111
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>to be cost efficient and it's got to be programs

112
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>that actually produce results. And by the way, if we

113
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>have a problem with revenue, why are we giving eight

114
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars of your tax money to people who aren't

115
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 2>New Yorkers, to legal migrants who get free food, free transportation,

116
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 2>free food, and a free cell phone, they get more

117
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 2>than New Yorkers. It's insane. Kaffy Oakle's giving away your money.

118
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is what you guys did well in

119
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Nassau County, Well said you and Mazi Pillow right, you

120
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 1>took the masks off the bad guys, And for some

121
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>reason in New York, Kathy Hochel, she's okay with the

122
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>bad guys wearing masks. Pohamosos are the bad guys, but

123
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 1>the good guys, okay, And I know we got Minnesota

124
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and Maine, I'm aware, Okay, but that's four compared to

125
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of very dangerous people

126
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 1>taking off the streets, maybe two hundred thousand to four,

127
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty good ratio. She wants to take the mask off

128
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of them. And we know that these cycles on that

129
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 1>side are not afraid to show up at a Supreme

130
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Court judge's house. They're not afraid to shoot an ICE

131
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>agent in the street, but try to kill the president.

132
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 1>So you guys worked extra hard to take the masks

133
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>off the bad guys. She wants to take the masks

134
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>off the good guys. Thank god. A federal judge yesterday

135
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 1>said no, no, we're not doing that. What are you nuts?

136
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 1>But there it is, at the very core, she wants

137
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 1>to protect the bad guys, you want to protect the

138
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 1>good guys.

139
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, just in my county last months, someone who entered

140
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>this country illegally stabbed two women to death. Remember yep, and.

141
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Not even in the same place. He went to like

142
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>different places to do that.

143
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>He went to two different places. And you rarely hear

144
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 2>that in the mainstream. You got to listen to your

145
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>show or some other conservative shows to hear about this.

146
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>So they never they never talk about the illegal migrants

147
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 2>who kill people, rape people, rob people, are dealing in drugs,

148
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 2>are getting and recruiting our kids into gang activity. And

149
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Kaffi Hockel, this is why she's the worst governor in America.

150
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Kathy Hockel says that anti semi an anarchists who fight

151
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 2>our cops should be able to wear a mask, but

152
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement officers who need to be undercover, who need

153
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>to be covered up to protect their identity, she wants

154
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 2>to unmask them. That's a disgrace. She doesn't back our cops,

155
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't back our law enforcement. She's not a governor

156
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 2>that wants to make safer communities for our kids and

157
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>our grandkids. So that's why I'm running for governor. Cut taxes,

158
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>cut utility bills which are seven higher than the nation's average,

159
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>and makes for safe for communities. And you know what,

160
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that's why I'm going to win sid because seventy percent

161
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of the people in New York State want the same

162
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>exact thing.

163
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I think even more probably, and I got to tell

164
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 1>you I know I told you this on the AAR

165
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>last week, but I had a conversation and I was

166
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>shocked actually how excited he was to talk to me

167
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>with Ruben Diaz and I called him on your behalf

168
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and I said, Rubin, we want to come out. Bruce

169
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>specifically wants to come out. He wants to spend time

170
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 1>with the African American community, obviously the Latino community. And

171
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 1>he said, we can't wait to have him. He said,

172
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 1>just see a No, we're voting for him on two lines. Okay,

173
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>he is going to end up with votes in vote

174
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the Republican on the conservative line. We can't wait to

175
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>do something with Bruce Blakeman. I want to open my

176
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>church to Bruce Blakeman any Thursday, you guys want to come.

177
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to pu my church to Bruce Blakeman. So

178
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the folks out there that are trying to figure out

179
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing on a daily basis, not only are

180
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 1>you still running Nasau County and doing it great, you're

181
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 1>all over the state Rochester, You're in Utica, you're in Syracuse,

182
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you're in Albany, you're in Binghamton, and now starts to

183
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>push Latinos African Americans. You're gonna hit every one of

184
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 1>these communities every week.

185
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, Reuben Diaz is a wonderful guy, and he's

186
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>a god loving guy. He cares about America. He loves America.

187
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 2>So to have him on my side is truly a blessing.

188
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 2>And yes, I've been in the Dominican community. I went

189
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to the Dominican Bronx Parade, where quite frankly, the Democrats

190
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 2>banned me from speaking, because you know that's what they do.

191
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>They're they're dictators, They're authoritarian, and I'm gonna be at

192
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.559
<v Speaker 2>the Dominican Parade in Manhattan. I've been endorsed by the

193
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Governor of Puerto Rico. I've gone to discuss issues with

194
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>middle class African American and Caribbean Americans and Southeast Queens.

195
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I've been with Russian Americas in Brooklyn. I'm on my

196
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 2>way up state right now. I had a rally with

197
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Italian Americans in Italy in Lower Manhattan to one on

198
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Mowberry Street.

199
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, by the way, I want to tell you about

200
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that because a lot of those guys here that day,

201
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 1>As you know, all my friends, it was Friday. I

202
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>was in Pennsylvania with Danielle and Ava. They loved you

203
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.879
<v Speaker 1>there in Italy on body they said you were amazing.

204
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 1>You won Joe Hernandez.

205
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know they love me so much they changed

206
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>my name to Bruno.

207
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 1>I love it, love it. You're doing all these rallies

208
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and all these communities are everywhere.

209
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow, listen, this is a mission to save our state.

210
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>We're in a death spiral right now. Said we're fifty

211
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 2>out of fifty states and economic outlook. I mean, no

212
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.639
<v Speaker 2>wonder why our young people don't want to live here.

213
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 2>And therefore I concerned things around. I know what needs

214
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to be done. We just got to get back to

215
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:02.159
<v Speaker 2>common sense principles, good judgment, American values, and create jobs

216
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and create prosperity for people. They get better jobs with

217
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 2>better benefits, less taxes, lower utility bills. That's how you

218
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>make people happy. They're miserable now under Kathy Hockel, I

219
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>just want to make New Yorkers happy.

220
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 1>You make me happy. You're so nice. I got one

221
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 1>more for you. Did you not work for the Port

222
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Authority at one point?

223
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I know you did. I was a commissioner of the

224
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for eight years.

225
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Eight years the Port Authority. So this is going to

226
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>hit close to home for you. We're about to commemorate

227
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years. I know you listen to me every day.

228
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I am beating this drama I had earlier today, Bill

229
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Donnie you want from the Catholic League. He's written a

230
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>long letter urging Mamdanie not to come. Nine to eleven.

231
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I brought on survivors, victims, the families. I brought on

232
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 1>the guy that started the petition. I'm bringing on another

233
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>lady tomorrow. I am on a mission to keep this

234
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>mayor away.

235
00:12:58.360 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Now.

236
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I know I can't do it, and I know the

237
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>odds were stacked against me, but I also know that

238
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the overwhelming majority, not even the overwhelming majority of nine

239
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to eleven families don't want this anti American mayor there.

240
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not asking you whether you think he'll come

241
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>or not. But if you a governor, I you would

242
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>stop him from coming or not. I want, as a

243
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>guy that worked with a port authority, who lost people

244
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>that day, I want you to tell me do you

245
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>think the mayor should show up?

246
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, said, I don't know if you

247
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 2>know this or not, but my nephew was murdered on

248
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that day. No, Sergeant Tommy Jurgens, my sister Linda's older boy,

249
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 2>oldest boy. I'm twenty six years old, Army veteran, volunteer firefighter,

250
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 2>New York State Court officer, was giving first day to

251
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a woman who was severely burned in Tower two when

252
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it collapsed on him. We never got a body or DNA.

253
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 2>We only got his side arm and his badge. So

254
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>it's very personal to me. I am a family member,

255
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think zorn Mondami should go. It's as

256
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 2>if you know someone's having a wake and they asked

257
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you not to go to the wake for personal reasons,

258
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't go. So I mean, I don't think he

259
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 2>should go. But here's where I'm gonna say. If he's

260
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>hell bent on going, I think people have a way

261
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>to respectfully protest that. Turn your back on him. Don't

262
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>say anything to him, don't make a ruckus, be solemn

263
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.879
<v Speaker 2>because it is a solemn day. Just turn your back on.

264
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Him, much like the cops did to bood the Blasio

265
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 1>years ago.

266
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, same thing, same thing. So that's a way to

267
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>protest if he comes. But yeah, listen, you wouldn't pay

268
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>a shiv of call. If you were told you weren't invited,

269
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't intend to wake. If you were told that

270
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>you weren't invited, that you weren't going to be welcome.

271
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 2>But this guy just doesn't get it. He doesn't get it.

272
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.279
<v Speaker 2>He's got that stupid smile on his fay while he's

273
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>saying terrible things about Americans, antisemitic things and anti Christian

274
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>things with a smile on his face. So people think

275
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 2>he's nice. He's not nice. There's something wrong with the guy.

276
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 1>That is the best way to put it. Yet there

277
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>really is something wrong with him, Like he's insane, he's nasty,

278
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and he's hateful, and the smile is phony. But you

279
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 1>just nailed it. There is something wrong with that guy. Bruce.

280
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 1>You're doing an amazing job. I love You're so proud

281
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 1>of you. Keep up the great work. We are just

282
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months away from winning this race and

283
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.759
<v Speaker 1>you'll be your next governor. Bruce Plateman, thank you so much,

284
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 1>God blessed, love you. I love you too. Thank you.

285
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Man.

286
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I love that guy and my son loves him now.

287
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Gable just loves him. You just want to leave. He

288
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>keeps asking can I say another weekend of the weekend

289
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.320
<v Speaker 1>of the weekend, he may say to Labor day. Now, Lott,

290
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. He has to go to college. No, listen.

291
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 1>They're very good to him. The chief. Another chief is listening.

292
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>He's great, and Chris Boyle's great, and obviously Bruce is great.

293
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Stap is great, and he want to stay. He loves Bruce.

294
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>What's that he's gonna learn? He's learned so much Bro already,

295
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.120
