  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, how you doing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Mark. It's always an honor to be
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: on with you. You're one of the most beloved people
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: in all of New York.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Oh look who's talking. Well, everybody loves you in Long Island.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Your job county executive. That's pretty much being a governor,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: isn't it. So you're gonna come with a lot of experience.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're chief executive, as county executive of a county
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that's larger than eight states and population wow. And it's
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a very diverse community. We got people from every race,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: religion as the group, people of all abilities and lifestyles.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And in my county, I want to do. I want
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to do for the state what I've done in my county,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and that's basically make people happy again.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when people say, oh, you can't Republican can't win
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in New York State, They said that about you in NASA.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Isn't the makeup of Nasa County pretty similar to New
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: York State.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Our demographics are virtually identical, so it's not like we're
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: comparing apples to oranges. I have won in a county
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: with one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats in a landslide,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: because again I said I wouldn't raise taxes. I didn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: raise them a penny. As a matter of fact, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: cut them by one hundred and fifty million dollars. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: said I'd make safer communities. Our community, our county is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the safest county in America according to US News and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: World Report. I said that I would make for economic development,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: better jobs, higher pay, and better lifestyle. And Niche magazine
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just named us the most desirable place to live in
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: all of New York State. So I want to do
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: for New York State what I've already done for my county,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: which is a very large county, and something that Kathy
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Hoko hasn't done. In fact, every place I go mark
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: in New York State, people tell me how miserable they
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: are under Kathy Hockel. We're the most overtax date. Our
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: electric bills are seventy percent higher than the national average.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And she's the most pro criminal governor in the United States.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: She's the worst governor in the United States.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are electric bills. A first, Cuomo shuts nuclear
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: energy down Indian Point, that's twenty five percent of electricity.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: She bans fracking. Aren't they the ones, the Democrats that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: drove those electric bills up to five hundred and six
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: hundred a month.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Well, you're absolutely right. We're sitting on one of the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: largest natural gas reserves in the world, and we don't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: extract that natural gas. In fact, Kathy Hopel buys it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania, so we don't get the tax revenue, we
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: don't get the jobs, we don't get the economic activity.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So if we were extracting that natural gas, we bring
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: our supply down. And she's investing in a scam it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: called the green energy scam, where she's putting solar farms
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: up in places in upstate New York that are under
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: snow five months out of the year, or we're carbines
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the ocean. How ridiculous is that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it's probably the most expensive place to build something. She
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: wants to put sixty story wind turbines in the ocean.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It's bad for marine life, it's bad for commercial and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: recreational fishing, and it produces very little energy and it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: very costly. But she's giving billions of dollars of contracts away,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and she's getting millions of dollars from the very same
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: people in political contributions. That stops when I become governor.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I will cut electric bills in half.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, they did all that in Europe with the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: windmills and the solar, and then after about five years
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they had to take it all down because it didn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: produce much energy. But the one thing about giving away
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: those contracts. She has put together a pretty amazing war chest.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Doesn't she have like thirty five million to spend against you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah? But you know what, it's not going to materially
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: change this race because again every day Mark Democrats walk
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: up to me and they say, I've never voted Democrat.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never voted Republican in my life. I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: going to vote for you this year because my party's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: gotten crazy. They're insane, they're nuts. You got Zoron Mndami
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and Kathy Hoko. The place is in a death spiral.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Our economics are last in the United States of America.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: We're fifty out of fifty states in economic outlook. We're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: paying too much in taxes, we're not creating jobs in prosperity.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And we have a governor that she protects criminals, not communities.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So I don't care how much money she has. The
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: people are on our side. We're raising money too. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: if anybody out there wants to contribute to my campaign
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: or get along sign or volunteer, go to Blakemanfromnewyork dot com.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very important to donate to Go to Blakeman for
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: New York dot Com. Now people must say to all
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the time, because I've heard people say this. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: everybody's an expert to come to well, you know what
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you should do, you know what you got to do,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they say. But one thing I hear, he's got to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: up the social media game. He's got to get that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: guy that Spencer Pratt had in LA. You must be
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: hearing that too.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So here's the thing. We are now in the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: top five of every campaign in America. Thank you, Yes,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Mark how many views that I had on my social
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: media in the month of June.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just looking at it. I don't know how many.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Fifty seven million.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's pretty good.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So we are rocking and rolling. People were right when
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: they said that four months ago because we were ramping up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: But right now we're at the top and we're going
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to continue to be at the top. We're putting out
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: content every day, my content AI. We're using AI because
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it's very funny. You like to use satire in comedy
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to drive a point home. And people are following our
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: social media religiously now.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman is running for governor. He's the Republican
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: everybody vote for and you should vote for and you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: can donate to go to Blakemanfromnew York dot com.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: How much?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: What kind of factor is Mamdanni going to be? Can
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he help Hokel or hurt Hokeel?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently she thinks that Mandami is helping her because
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: she's lockstep with him. I call her comrade Kathy. Now, look,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Zimra Mandami. My biggest problem with him is he hates America,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and now Kathy Hokeel has aligned herself with the hate
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: America Movement in her party. This isn't the party of
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Mario Cuomo. This isn't the party of you Carrie and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Daniel Patrick moynihan, or even Bill Quinton for this matter.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: This is a party that's gone so far off the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: deep end. They're anti Semitic, they're anti Christian, and they're
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: anti American, and they're anti capitalists. So they need to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: be stopped. And Kathy Hokele is right in lockstep with
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: everything that Zillman Mundami wants to do. We've got to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: stop him and we've got to stop her.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough for a Republican in New York City.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But how if you want to win as governor, how
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: much of New York do you have to win New
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: York City?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Well, well, we're doing really well in New York City.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So the rule of thumb is for a Republican, in
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: order to be able to win, you got to get
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: thirty two percent of the city vote. Our last polling
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: we were already up to thirty percent, so we keep
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: improving on that. We went from twenty three percent to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: thirty percent. So my goal is to get over thirty
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: six percent and thirty over thirty six percent of the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: vote in New York City will ensure that we win.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So we are campaigning very hard. Been in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Staten Island, been in every neighborhood in the city. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we're talking to middle class voters. People who are fed
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: up with their taxes, people who are fed up with
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: their electric bill, people who are fed up with crime.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And we're getting a lot of Democrats. And it's from
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: every demographic. It could be African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and Latinos. It doesn't matter what your background is. People
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: are fed up with the direction of our state, which
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is in the death spiral. I'll be the pilot that'll
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: pull it out, and I'm fully sure that people will
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: elect me on November third because they want this change desperately.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: They want better jobs, they want economic activity, they want
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to be able to stay in New York and afford
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to stay in New York. And the way to do
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that is put more money in people's pockets.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, Bruce Blakeman, and you should go to Blakemanfromnewyork
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: dot Com. Bruce Blakeman, this is stuff is very powerful
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: against Kathyoga but what about a debate. Has she agreed
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to any kind of debate.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: No, she's docking me. I don't think she wants to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: debate me. Look, she's got a record that's straight SS
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and when you compare that to my record of having
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the safest county in America, cutting taxes, people being happy,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: safe communities, she doesn't want to compare her record to mine,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So she's stocking me. I've had seven invitations extended to
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: me to debate Kathy Hockel. I've accepted all seven of them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hockel hasn't accepted one of them. So, Kathy Hokeel,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: stop hiding. Come on out. If you think you've done
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: a good job as governor, then try to defend your record.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'm very happy to debate you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: But in October, she's going to have to debate. Right,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: There's never been an incumbent governor refused to debate in
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the campaign, right.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Not in my memory. But she doesn't have to. She
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: didn't take matching funds, and a requirement if you take
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: matching funds, as you have to debate. So it certainly
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: raised our eyebrows when she said I'm not going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: take matching funds, which means I ain't going to debate.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, she's got a ton of money because, as
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you say, she's been handing out contracts left and right
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in extraine for huge donations, and a lot of top
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: business guys who love you and are going to vote
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: for you, but they give to her, and they're afraid
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: some of them might be afraid to give to you.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: They don't want to offense her. She's the sitting governor.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But that's crazy. So everybody else help out, Go donate,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com, Blakemanfronewyork dot com. And you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: are busy, right, You're running around the state. You're all
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: over the place campaigning.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: So let me give you a snapshot of my last
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: thirty six hours. Yesterday, I was on Fox News. I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Maria Bartiromo's show, and then I marched into Dominican Parade.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Then I caught a plane up to Buffalo. Then from Buffalo,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I drove to Saratoga. Now I'm driving downstate where I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: am doing media, and I have a fundraiser tonight, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I've got meetings in my county office on county business.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: So that's a little bit about my thirty six hours
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: in the last day. So we are working hard, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm working from seven o'clock in the morning till eleven
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: o'clock at night because I'm on a mission to save
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: this state and to save our country and our city.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm not stopping until we win.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You know, they stretch my show from two hours to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: three hours, and I'm ready to collapse. I can't take it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, after hearing what you do, wey this sounds
