Bruce Blakeman | Nassau County Executive | 07-07-26 · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Bruce talked about the issue with this state money wise
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and place to blame, where the blame belongs. She's the governor.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What's the art to figure out? Kathy and dumbeatch. So
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: she's like, well, I'm tired of Bruce Blakeman blaming me. Well,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: whose fault do you think it is? I don't understand
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: want to blame Blakeman. He's in Nassau County, he's the executive.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: They're doing very well there, so I'm not even sure
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: exactly what Hokele was yelling about. But right now she's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a caged animal. She is fearful. She's going to lose,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and she should be. When this whole thing started, when
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Lawler was considering running and Stefanic who puss it out
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and Blakeman, Blakeman jumped in. He was twenty six points back.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Well guess what the latest poll wipe out twenty of those.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Right now he is right behind her, I mean right
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: behind her. So she is scared to death and she
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: should be. He made up twenty he'll make up twenty
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: more and win by fourteen. So with that said, here
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he is the guy that I'm brought to call a brother,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: dear dear friend, the Nashau County executive and soon to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: be governor here in New York, the Great Bruce Blakeman, Brucey,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: good morning, buddy.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: How are you doing great? Sid? How are you doing?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I'm very happy for you that Paul
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: yesterday has you down by just six points. Can you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: explain to me, as Kathy Hokeel spent time in your
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: county and your buddy Edward Mains County, nobody wants her there.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Nobody Long Islanders hate Kathy Hokel. But what in God's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: name was she yelling at you about it?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Well, she wants to blame the fact that our electric
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: bills are seventy percent higher on Trump, which is completely untrue.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hokeel's administration has approved over forty five rate hikes
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: on your election electric bill in the last four years.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: She has engaged in the green energy scam, where she
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: takes money out of your electric bill payments every month
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and invests in science projects that produce very little energy
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and they're very costly. She will not allow us to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: extract natural gas from one of the largest natural gas
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: reserves in the world here in New York State, which
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: would create jobs, prosperity, and bring the supply of energy
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: way up, which would bring the prices way down. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: yet she buys that same natural gas from Pennsylvania. She's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the most pro criminal governor in the United States of America.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: We still have National Guard troops in our jails because
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: she fired two thousand corrections officers who rightly pointed out
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that under her policies, the prisoners are running the prisons now,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: which is a situation that is untenable. And she is
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: somebody who's raised your taxes to become the highest tax
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: state in the United States of America. That's why people
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: are leaving. That's why jobs are leaving in the droves.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: She can point the finger wherever she wants, but the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: lack of affordability is pointed directly at her. She is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the governor. She has made it more expensive. She's allowed
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: i legal migrants into this state. She has given them
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: free food, free transportation, free housing, a free cell phone.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That has cost the taxpayers over eight billion dollars in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the last four years. And if there's a housing crisis,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it's because we now have hundreds of thousands of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: legal migrants taking up housing that could have been used
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for middle class families. People are miserable in New York State.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm climbing in the polls. That's why she's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: going down. They want a governor that will make them
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: happy again by putting New Yorkers first, creating jobs, prosperity,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: cutting taxes, and cutting your damn high electric bills.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is perfect right there, Bruce Blakeman, that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is exactly why you've made up twenty points. I want
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to review something we talked about last week. I think
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: maybe I was streaming because I asked you about debates,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: because when you're on stage with her, you're gonna kill her.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Not literally, I understand, but you are because she has
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: nothing to run on. Everything she's touched has been a disaster. You,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, not only have done a great
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: job in Nassau County for two terms now, but you've
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: got all the right moves. You've got real ideas how
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to save this state. And I think you said to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: me last week, there's a chance she's not going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: debate you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I have consistently over the last four months challenged her
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to a series of debates, and we have heard nothing
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: back from her. I have indicated to various media outlets
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that I am available. So I do not believe she
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: will get on a debate stage with me. I don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: think that she wants to expose her record to the public,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a record of failure, a record of misery. I don't
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: think she wants to have to try to explain to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the people of this state her unholy alliance with Zorron Mundami.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So I do not expect that she will debate me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: But I am available any place, anytime, anywhere.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, Why isn't like Errol Lewis Jackasser New York won Or.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I know he's in the bag for all the Democrats. Well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the New York Post, Well, I've got the Daily News.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They are also in the bag. They actually routed against
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: us last night against Belgium. They're rooting against us. I mean,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: none of these outlets have reached out. I mean New
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: York Newsday, I know they hate you and I. Every
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: time you're on the show, they take shots at you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and I. But that is your local Long Island newspaper.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: None of these outlets have said a word about a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: potential debate. None of them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a News twelve spectrum. I believe NBCCBS and ABC
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: have all indicated that they would be willing to host debates.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I have told them I am available. Kathy Hochel has
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: not responded to them. Look, she can't defend her record,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and she doesn't want to get up on a stage
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and compare her report card, which is straight f's, with mine,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: which are straight a's. I have the safest county in America.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Niche magazine says my county's the most desirable place to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: live in New York State. I haven't raised taxes a penny.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: In fact, I cut one hundred and fifty million dollar
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: tax increased. I invest in our police. I've hired close now.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I've hired close to one thousand new one enforcement professionals.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: We've gotten seven bond upgrades, four budget star pluses. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm going to talk about, because I can
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: do that for New York State.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned her unholy alliance with the Mayo. This
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: punk just completed his budget last week one hundred and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: twenty billion plus. And let's not forget that Kathy Jko
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: bailed him out, gave him eight billion dollars. Why she's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: scared the death of this guy, And I know you, Bruce,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You're a great patriot, great American. Trump loves you. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: love you, great American. I know you watched everybody's speech
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: over the weekend in one of your own, watching Mom, Donnie,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that speech where we actually turned Washington's desk the wrong way.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Sat there with nine of the physically most repulsive and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: ugly people you'll ever see, holding flags, all looking miserable
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as on our birthday. He lectured us, lectured us, mister Uganda,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on how to build a better America. How despicable was
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that speech?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, it was a very dark speech
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: what should have been an uplifting day celebrating the two
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birthplace of freedom, liberty,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and democracy. This country has created more prosperity and more
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: wealth for more people than any nation in the history
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of the world. And it's not We don't say that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: we don't have flaws. We don't say that our past
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: history we haven't done things that have been incorrect. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: know that we have. We know that we are vulnerable,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we know that we're human. But my god, we are
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the greatest nation in the world. We have created a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: lifestyle for people that have come from other countries. Immigrants
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: who came here, kissed the ground, wanted to be here,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: love to be here. This guy comes from Uganda. Have
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you ever been to Uganda?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Not recently?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: No, who wants to go to Uganda?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, nobody wants to go to Uganda. Anybody moving to Uganda.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know anybody moving to me.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even talk about Uganda. You know what's ironic.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I did two weeks ago because it just so happens
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that Bibi Natanyahu's brother was killed in the raid at
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Entebbe in Uganda, and it was the fifty year anniversary
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of that the same day that we celebrated two fifty
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: in the United States. Otherwise, if not for Dye, I mean,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I don't even bring up Uganda ever.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, this guy comes to a country that
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: is third World. There's abject poverty, there's very little freedom.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody would say that Uganda is a beacon of light.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He comes to this country, he wins election in one
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of the most important physicians in the United States of America.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Americans gave him that opportunity, and all he does is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: crap on America. He is disgraceful, be blessed that he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: in this country. He should rejoice in the freedom and
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the liberty that's been given to him in this country
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and the opportunity that's been given to him in this country.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And all he does is crap on America. It's disgusting,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it's vile, it's disgraceful. And that's why we need to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: have a governor who will keep him in check or
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: he will ruin the city and ruin this state.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And when you win, you would take a serious look
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: at removing him. I know you said, look, well, you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: don't like to do that. And he won. He wan
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Baron Square and a lot of folks saying so were
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ragged and he flew in Muslims. It's all nonsense. He
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: won Parent Square. That's a bottom line. Okay, not happy
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about it. Look like to remove the guy, but he
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: want Baron Square. But when you win, not if you win,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you would take a very good look at what he's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: doing and you would at least consider finding a way
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to remove him. Yes or no, Well he.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Would have to do something egregious.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Like wake up, like wake up in the morning.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you'd have to do something egregious. Listen, there
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: are ways to control what he's doing. Look, I'm not
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: going to let him wreck the economy of New York City.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to let him create an atmosphere of
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: lawlessness in New York City. As governor, I will keep
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: him in check. I don't think I'm going to have
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to remove him. We have tremendous power over the city
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: government and the mayor. I think that I will be
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: able to control the situation without that drastic measure. But
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: here's one of those things. Kathy Hokele gave this guy
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: five and a half billion dollars in the last couple
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of months, with no strings attached, no conditions, and what
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: does he do. Hundreds, if not thousands of NYPD police
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: officers have retired in the last six months, and he's
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: not using the money to fill those vacancies. He is
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: defunding the police little by little. He is trickling away
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: our manpower in the NYPD, which is going to have
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a deletarious effect not only on New York City, primarily
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: New York City, but Long Island and Westchester and the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Hudson Valley because this lawlessness is something that will spread
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: like a cancer, and he's not backing the NYPD. He's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: not funding the NYPD. So Kathy Hokel gave him all
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: this money. Listen, the least you could have done is said, hey,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you better fill those vacancies in the NYPD with this
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: money or I'm not giving you any more money.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: She can need to do that, right, Well, I we'll
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: tell you this. The call I get most these days, Okay,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It besides going to come to the Hall of Fame launch.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The call I get most is can you give me
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a paper? Can you reach out to Bruce or anybody
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of this team. I don't know Chris Boyle, Fenting, anybody.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I really want to work on Bruce Blakeman's team.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I really want to help Blue Blakeman win this election.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He's got to win. He's got to win. A wee dead.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: If I tell you, Bruce, I get that call and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: more than one every day, would you believe me?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I get it every day? So yes, of course I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: believe you. But go to Blakemanfordewyork dot com blakemanfronewyork dot
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: com volunteer contribute. We need the money we got to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: bring this campaign to the people. It's very expensive social media, radio, TV, streaming,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: we've got to pay for all that direct mail, So
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: please contribute whatever you can give. And here's the thing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: You don't have to do it through any big structure.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Get a few friends together. Make sure you register everybody
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to vote that you know, and make sure they get
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: out on election day and vote. Create your own list
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of friends, people that you know, relatives, and you call
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: them every day during early voting to make sure that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they voted, and you cross them off the list if
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: they voted, if they don't, if they haven't voted, you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: keep pestering them till they vote. Because this is going
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to depend a lot on turnout. And I believe that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: if we get to turnout, I think we're going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: get we're gonna have a tremendous victory.
