  Speaker 1: Give woor a, Brie said on the iHeartRadio app to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in an instance, go.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Back to the Mark Simo show on WR.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Well, Bruce Blakeman, he should be the next governor of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: New York. He's the Nassau County executive, best county executive
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in America. That's a job that's just like being a governor,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and he's the best at it. And if you want
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to help, you go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Blakeman from
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: New York dot Com. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Doing really good? Mark?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you're running against this crazy Kathy Hokeel who tells
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: everybody to leave New York. Now, she's all over the place,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Numbrady to come back. Is that her admitting that she
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was wrong?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: You know, Mark, When I saw the video of her
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: asking people to please come back to New York from Florida,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: all I could think about was, this can't be true.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: It's got to be an AI video. It's got to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: be a Saturday Night Live skit. You can't make this up.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We are the most overtaxed, overregulated state in the United States.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We have one of the highest energy bills in the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: United States. Just look at your electric bill. Your electric
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: bill is only thirty percent going for energy. The rest
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of the bill is excessive delivery charges, taxes, and the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: green energy scam mandates that she puts on your electric bills.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: When I become governor, I'll cut your electric bills in half.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: We're going to cut out the green energy scam. We're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going to bring down the delivery charges, and we're going
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to bring down the taxes. That's number one. Number two
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is the way to get people back here is to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lower taxes, not to raise taxes. Her and her buddy
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Zoon Mundami, they want to raise property taxes by nine
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and a half percent in New York City. That means
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that if you a home, own a home in Brooklyn
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: or Queens or any of the other five boroughs, your
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: taxes are going to go up significantly. She also wants
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to institute a death tax. Her and Zoon Mndamie want
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to put a death tax. That you work hard your
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: whole life, you build up a little mess egg. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: have a home that's probably worth you know, six seven
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, and your estate's nine
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. Let's say she wants to take half
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of that. She wants to take half of it. Zoa
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: on Mundami wants to take half of it. They're working together.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: They have a secret plan that after the election they
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: will raise taxes, just like Kathy Hokeel did with congestion pricing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: She said she was going to put it on pause.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Right after the election. We got congestion pricing. And by
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the way, congestion pricing is not just going to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in Lower Manhattan. She'll bring it to Queens Boulevard, She'll
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: bring it to Flatbush Boulevard, She'll bring it to all
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of the major thoroughfares throughout the state. Because she needs
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to raise money for her green energy scam, for her
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: medicaid scams, and for her not for profits that produce
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: nothing for the people of New York, but they pay
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars to her friends who give her big
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: campaign contributions.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and our budget is double the budget of Florida,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: even though that's a bigger state with more people. What
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: can be done to cut that budget down?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, we have to cut out, as
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I said, the funding for all of these not for
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: profits like they have in Minnesota. These are just not
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: for profits that are set up not to help people,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: but to give people who contribute to Kathy Hockel a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: job a big salary. They produce nothing. And I will
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: have an immediate review of every program in the state
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of New York. We will look not to cut services.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: We want to deliver better services than Kathy Hockel, because
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: her services are terrible. I want to increase the quality
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of the services, but get them to people who really
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: need them and only have programs that work, not fund
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all these experimental programs that Kathy Hochel has.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which I would Bruce Blakeman, who we hope is
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the next governor in New York. If you want to help, donate, volunteer,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: go to Blakeman for New York dot com Blakemanfronewyork dot com.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Now people will say, well, you're behind in the polls,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but you're always behind in the polls when you win.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Isn't that Wasn't that the case in Nassau County.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Listen, I ran for reelection in a county with
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats than Republicans and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I won in a landslide. Every time I run, the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: polls have me behind, They have me in a position
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that is totally not true. These polls are polls from
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: very far left universities that skew the polls towards Democrats
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so that they frustrate our fundraising, so they bring down
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: our morale. Look, I know how to win in democratic
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: territories because I bring the same thing to every neighborhood
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and every community. That means safe and secure communities, by
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: increasing the number of police, not defunding the police, by
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: keeping taxes well, I haven't raised taxes a penny in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: four years. Plus. I took one hundred and fifty million
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: dollar tax increase that was planned by my predecessor, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I canceled it my first week in office. So the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: fact is that you've got to make it more affordable
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: by lowering taxes, lowering electric bills, and then you'll get
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: people back to New York. And you also have to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: create jobs, economic development, which creates prosperity, which means more
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: money goes in your pocket. If there's money more in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: your pocket, you can make important choices on how you
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: want to spend the money, and not govern people are
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: miserable in New York. They need a governor that's going
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to put New Yorkers first, not spend billions of dollars
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: on illegal migrants. That's our taxpayer dollars. The Kaffee Hockel
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: is spending on people who've been here for fifteen minutes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: When we could cut taxes, when we could improve our infrastructure,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: spend money on education, improve our hospitals, and she spent
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it on people who just crossed the border, giving them
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: free housing, free food, free transportations, and a free cell phone.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That stops. I will be a governor that puts New
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yorkers first. My job is to make for a more
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: prosperous state, a safer state, and to make New Yorkers
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: happy again.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And now, Bruce Blakeman, what about money. She's got the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: thirty two million or something in the bank.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're raising money at a very very large clip.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: We are doing very very well. Remember she's been at
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: this for four years. She's an incumbent. We expect to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: get we expect to get outspent. But if you have
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the issues on your side, which we do, talking about overtaxation, overregulation,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: cashless fail the Hall deck, raise the age, things that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: make us less prosperous and less safe. I'm running against
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: her on those issues, and that means more than anything,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: That means more than money. So we're getting our message out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: People are starting to collaborate with us. They're raising money,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: they're out there volunteering, they're using their cell phones to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: text people, to email people social media. We're getting millions
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of hits on social media. I expect that not only
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: will we be victorious, but I think that we will
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: decisively win, and then I will be the governor on
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: January first.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Well, we all hope so. And now you're a much
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: better speaker. You can out debate her any day. What
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: about Has she agreed to a debate of any kind?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I challenged her to a debate last month. She said
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: that I didn't answer a question from a reporter because
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I was chicken. Actually, the reporter asked the same question
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: four times but didn't like my answer. So she said, oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you know, Blakeman, he won't even answer the question. I said, listen,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I'll debate you every week from
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: now to election day. Let's see who's chicken. And of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: course she never got back to me. She's not going
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to debate me unless she absolutely has to because she's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: afraid of her record being exposed by me. I'm going
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to compare my record where I have the safest county
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in America according to US and US and World Report,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: where I haven't raised taxes, where we have economic development,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: people are doing very very well in my county, compared
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to her record where she has to go and beg
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: people in Florida to come back to New York because
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: she's made it unsafe, She's made it unaffordable. She's the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: one that has made New York unaffordable. I will be
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the governor that makes it affordable again.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Let's hope everybody do what you can to help. Bruce Blakeman.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: If you want to help, volunteer or you want to donate,
