• 0:35
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. We're building tremendous momentum. We are going
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to win because people throughout New York are miserable. Under
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochel. We have the highest taxes. Are you till
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: your rates of seventy percent higher than the national average,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: all directly a tributal to Kathy Hoochel. We are at
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the bottom of economic development. We're forty one out of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: fifty states. Mark, can you imagine that once Great Empire
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: state is forty one out of fifty states? And economic
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: development we've got to create jobs for our young people,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: good paying jobs. We've good benefits. We've got to get
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the economy going. That's how you make it more affordable.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You've got to cut utility rates, cut taxes, put more
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: money in people's pockets, and they'll spend it the way
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: they want to spend it, not the way government tells
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: them to spend it. And we've got to stop spending
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: all this money, billions of dollars on illegal migrants who've
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: been here for fifteen minutes. They're not and we're giving
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: them free cell phones, free food, free transportation, free housing,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and New Yorkers get the bill for that. Why are
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: we spending hard earned taxpayer dollars on people who just
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: by virtue of the fact that they come here, Because
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: now we've become a migrant, we've become a magnet rather
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: for illegal migrants. Why should we be paying them all
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of these benefits with New Yorkers money. And we think
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: meet things in New York like tax relief, like lower utilities,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like investment in schools, hospitals, infrastructure. It's just obscene what
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hoche is doing with her buddy Zora and Mandami,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that the two of them are going to tax us
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and spend us into bankruptcy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to give these two credit though for
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a hutzput. The Democrats have run all in New York
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: State for thirteen years, the legislature, both houses, the governors
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: or the mayor Democrats, and then they complained about the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: affordability crisis that they created it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They created it when Kathy Hockel said in her State
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of the State message that we're not affordable here in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: New York and she's going to be fixing it. What
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: have you done for the last four and a half years.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: What have you done? The answer is nothing. She hasn't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: done anything to make it more affordable. She's made it
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: less affordable by increasing taxes, by engaging in this green
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: energy scam, where basically we're taking billions of dollars of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the rate payers money and we're using it on science
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: projects for green energy that produced very little energy. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: very costly. We're sitting on one of the largest natural
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: gas reserves in the world and she won't let us
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: drill that. And it's the same reserve that they have
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: over the border in Pennsylvania. We're buying gas from Pennsylvania.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It's insane. What she is doing. She has no management skills.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And look what happened yesterday. She said she had a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: budget deal and the speaker said, no, we don't. She's lying.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So I mean, it's just complete inept and it's just
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic for
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the people in New York that the incompetence that we
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have in Albany.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why you go to Blakemanfroewyork dot com. Contribute
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Blakemanfromnewyork dot com. Hey, now she's starting a whole new
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: war with Tom Holman. Explain what you did in Nassau
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: County with Ice. This is how you make it work.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: What you did.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: So, we had a comprehensive agreement with Ice, probably the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: most comprehensive with our police department, our sheriff's department, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: as a result, by cooperating, we rounded up two thousand
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: illegal migrants with criminal records and had them deported, people
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: who had committed attempted murder, rape, burglary, robbery, drug dealing,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: gang activity. And we got them out of the state,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: out of the region, out of my county. And she
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: would like them to still be here praying on the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: residents of our state. And by the way, Mark, we
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: did it without raiding a school, without raiding a church,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: without raiding a daycare center, a hospital. We did it
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in cooperation with ICE, so we had control over the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: process and as a result, we we have the safest
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: county in America according to the US News and World Report.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's what I want to do for the rest to stay.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, this is crazy, mom, Donnie. We had these
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: rioters in front of the Parky Synagogue terrorizing Jewish people there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They called them protested, but they were rioting. They were
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: clashing with the police. That went on for hours. What
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: would you have done in that case, Well.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: First of all, I would send a very strong message
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: to ze Roun Mundami that if he can't keep our
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: community safe, if he can't keep religious institutions safe, if
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: he can't stop anti semitism, racism, or any other kind
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of hate activity, that as governor I will I will
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: send my own forces to deal with it, and I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: will make sure that every community, every house of worship
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is safe and that there's no harassment, no violence, no
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: occupying buildings. He actually encourages this. I don't know why
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: he's so anti Semitic, and he is because he doesn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: criticize any other country in the world but Israel. He
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: changed the definition of anti Semitism as one of his
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: first axes. Mayor, why was that the most important thing
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to do? When you're mayor and your city is bleeding
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars because you spend it on crazy programs
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that don't benefit anybody. You have so much fraud, waste,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and abuse, and all he wants to do is raise taxes.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: So the guy is doing a terrible job, and the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: state and the city need me to come in and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: save our state and save our city from Hkal and Mondami.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ask governor, how much can you do about taxes?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You got to fight this crazy legislator the legislature.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll just veto any tax bill they send me.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to let them institute an estate tax,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: what I call a guest tax on people who have
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: assets over seven hundred and fifty thousand when they die.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That that gets an additional tax, so that small businesses
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: will have to be sold to pay the taxes, So
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: family residents will have to be sold to pay the taxes.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That's something that is totally unacceptable to me. I will
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: not let it happen as governor. And that's what Kathy
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: hoaklands around Mandami want to do. They want to steal
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: all of your hard earned assets so you can't leave
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: it to your kids and your grandkids. It's disgraceful.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that pier the tear tax has got to be
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the dumbest thing in the world. And if you look
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: at the numbers, it only brings in a couple hundred million.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Why even bother it's such an annoying, little stupid tax.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, it's crazy because what you want is you
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: want to attract high net worth individuals to your state,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to your city, because they pay most of the taxes.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: When they leave, the taxes have to be paid by somebody,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and it's going to fall as a burden on middle
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: class people. So we don't want that to happen. Number one.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Number two, rich people have options. If they're going to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: have a vacation home, they can have it in New
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: York City. If they're driven out of New York City,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: they'll have it in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dallas, Texas, boker Ton, Florida, Miami, Charleston,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, they have options that middle class people don't have.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And Mark, when they leave, they take valuable jobs, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they take valuable business away. Think of the carpenters, the electricians,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the plumbers, the waiters, the waitresses, the cleaning services, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: dog walkers, the local pharmacy, the local tavern. They're all
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: going to suffer. So instead of driving people out who
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: create jobs and who pay the burden the biggest burden
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of the taxes, I want to encourage them to come
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to New York and live in New York and have
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: their second home in New York and create economic activity
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: so we'll have better jobs for our people in lower
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: taxes and lower utility rates. Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Now, you're not like other candidates local mom, Donnie. All
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: these people that run have really no experience running anything.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You've been the county executive of a major county. That's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: basically the same job as a governor. See, you would
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: be the only one going into that office with actual
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: skills ready to go.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Mark, my county is larger than in
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: eight states in population. I won reelection in the county
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: with one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats in a landslide.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I won by thirty six thousand votes. People like what
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I've done. I've made us the safest county in America
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: according to the US News and World Report. I have
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: not raised taxes one penny one penny in the last
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: four years that I've been county executive. We've had a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: budget surplus each year. We've gotten seven bond upgrades. Even
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the Democrats state controller said that our finances were in order.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Our finances are excellent. I run a clean operation, a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: smart operation, and I always make every decision based on
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: two things. The taxpayer and the burden that they have
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and keeping their communities and their families safe. Those are
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the most important things. And that's what I've done in
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: my county, and that's why I went in a Democratic county,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and that's why I will be a governor that puts
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers first, puts more money in your pockets, cuts
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: your utility rates in half, make safer communities, and makes
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you happy again, not miserable like Kathy Hochel has.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now the only problem's got She's raised like thirty
