That's a job that's just like being a governor, 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: and he's the best at it. And if you want 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: to help, you go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Blakeman from 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: New York dot Com.

Mark? 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: Well, you're running against this crazy Kathy Hokeel who tells 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: everybody to leave New York. Now, she's all over the place, 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: Numbrady to come back. Is that her admitting that she 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: was wrong? 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: You know, Mark, When I saw the video of her 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 2: asking people to please come back to New York from Florida, 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: all I could think about was, this can't be true. 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: It's got to be an AI video. It's got to 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: be a Saturday Night Live skit. You can't make this up. 20 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: We are the most overtaxed, overregulated state in the United States. 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: We have one of the highest energy bills in the 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: United States. Just look at your electric bill. Your electric 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: bill is only thirty percent going for energy. The rest 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: of the bill is excessive delivery charges, taxes, and the 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: green energy scam mandates that she puts on your electric bills. 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: When I become governor, I'll cut your electric bills in half. 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: We're going to cut out the green energy scam. We're 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: going to bring down the delivery charges, and we're going 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: to bring down the taxes. That's number one. Number two 30 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: is the way to get people back here is to 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: lower taxes, not to raise taxes. Her and her buddy 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: Zoon Mundami, they want to raise property taxes by nine 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: and a half percent in New York City. That means 34 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: that if you a home, own a home in Brooklyn 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: or Queens or any of the other five boroughs, your 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: taxes are going to go up significantly. She also wants 37 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: to institute a death tax. Her and Zoon Mndamie want 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: to put a death tax. That you work hard your 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: whole life, you build up a little mess egg. You 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 2: have a home that's probably worth you know, six seven 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, and your estate's nine 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. Let's say she wants to take half 43 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: of that. She wants to take half of it. Zoa 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: on Mundami wants to take half of it. They're working together. 45 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: They have a secret plan that after the election they 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: will raise taxes, just like Kathy Hokeel did with congestion pricing. 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: She said she was going to put it on pause. 48 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: Right after the election. We got congestion pricing. And by 49 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: the way, congestion pricing is not just going to be 50 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: in Lower Manhattan. She'll bring it to Queens Boulevard, She'll 51 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: bring it to Flatbush Boulevard, She'll bring it to all 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: of the major thoroughfares throughout the state. Because she needs 53 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: to raise money for her green energy scam, for her 54 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: medicaid scams, and for her not for profits that produce 55 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: nothing for the people of New York, but they pay 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: billions of dollars to her friends who give her big 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: campaign contributions. 58 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and our budget is double the budget of Florida, 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: even though that's a bigger state with more people. What 60 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: can be done to cut that budget down? 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, we have to cut out, as 62 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: I said, the funding for all of these not for 63 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: profits like they have in Minnesota. These are just not 64 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: for profits that are set up not to help people, 65 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: but to give people who contribute to Kathy Hockel a 66 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: job a big salary. They produce nothing. And I will 67 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: have an immediate review of every program in the state 68 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: of New York. We will look not to cut services. 69 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: We want to deliver better services than Kathy Hockel, because 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: her services are terrible. I want to increase the quality 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: of the services, but get them to people who really 72 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: need them and only have programs that work, not fund 73 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: all these experimental programs that Kathy Hochel has. 74 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, which I would Bruce Blakeman, who we hope is 75 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: the next governor in New York. If you want to help, donate, volunteer, 76 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: go to Blakeman for New York dot com Blakemanfronewyork dot com. 77 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: Now people will say, well, you're behind in the polls, 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: but you're always behind in the polls when you win. 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: Isn't that Wasn't that the case in Nassau County. 80 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, Listen, I ran for reelection in a county with 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats than Republicans and 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: I won in a landslide. Every time I run, the 83 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: polls have me behind, They have me in a position 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: that is totally not true. These polls are polls from 85 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: very far left universities that skew the polls towards Democrats 86 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: so that they frustrate our fundraising, so they bring down 87 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: our morale. Look, I know how to win in democratic 88 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: territories because I bring the same thing to every neighborhood 89 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: and every community. That means safe and secure communities, by 90 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: increasing the number of police, not defunding the police, by 91 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: keeping taxes well, I haven't raised taxes a penny in 92 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: four years. Plus. I took one hundred and fifty million 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: dollar tax increase that was planned by my predecessor, and 94 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: I canceled it my first week in office. So the 95 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: fact is that you've got to make it more affordable 96 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: by lowering taxes, lowering electric bills, and then you'll get 97 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: people back to New York. And you also have to 98 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: create jobs, economic development, which creates prosperity, which means more 99 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: money goes in your pocket. If there's money more in 100 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: your pocket, you can make important choices on how you 101 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: want to spend the money, and not govern people are 102 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: miserable in New York. They need a governor that's going 103 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: to put New Yorkers first, not spend billions of dollars 104 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: on illegal migrants. That's our taxpayer dollars. The Kaffee Hockel 105 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: is spending on people who've been here for fifteen minutes. 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: When we could cut taxes, when we could improve our infrastructure, 107 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: spend money on education, improve our hospitals, and she spent 108 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: it on people who just crossed the border, giving them 109 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: free housing, free food, free transportations, and a free cell phone. 110 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: That stops. I will be a governor that puts New 111 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: Yorkers first. My job is to make for a more 112 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: prosperous state, a safer state, and to make New Yorkers 113 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: happy again. 114 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: And now, Bruce Blakeman, what about money. She's got the 115 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: thirty two million or something in the bank. 116 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're raising money at a very very large clip. 117 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: We are doing very very well. Remember she's been at 118 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: this for four years. She's an incumbent. We expect to 119 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: get we expect to get outspent. But if you have 120 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: the issues on your side, which we do, talking about overtaxation, overregulation, 121 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: cashless fail the Hall deck, raise the age, things that 122 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: make us less prosperous and less safe. I'm running against 123 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: her on those issues, and that means more than anything, 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: That means more than money. So we're getting our message out. 125 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: People are starting to collaborate with us. They're raising money, 126 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: they're out there volunteering, they're using their cell phones to 127 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: text people, to email people social media. We're getting millions 128 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: of hits on social media. I expect that not only 129 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: will we be victorious, but I think that we will 130 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: decisively win, and then I will be the governor on 131 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: January first. 132 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Well, we all hope so. And now you're a much 133 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: better speaker. You can out debate her any day. What 134 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: about Has she agreed to a debate of any kind? 135 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: I challenged her to a debate last month. She said 136 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: that I didn't answer a question from a reporter because 137 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: I was chicken. Actually, the reporter asked the same question 138 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: four times but didn't like my answer. So she said, oh, 139 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: you know, Blakeman, he won't even answer the question. I said, listen, 140 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I'll debate you every week from 141 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: now to election day. Let's see who's chicken. And of 142 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: course she never got back to me. She's not going 143 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: to debate me unless she absolutely has to because she's 144 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: afraid of her record being exposed by me. I'm going 145 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: to compare my record where I have the safest county 146 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: in America according to US and US and World Report, 147 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: where I haven't raised taxes, where we have economic development, 148 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: people are doing very very well in my county, compared 149 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 2: to her record where she has to go and beg 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: people in Florida to come back to New York because 151 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: she's made it unsafe, She's made it unaffordable. She's the 152 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: one that has made New York unaffordable. I will be 153 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: the governor that makes it affordable again. 154 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: Let's hope everybody do what you can to help.
