Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Big things happening today may be nothing bigger than my
- 0:03Speaker 1: dear friend currently serving his second term as National County Executive.
- 0:07Speaker 1: But he's going to be our next governor. Folks, write
- 0:10Speaker 1: it down. He's gonna beat Kathy Hokeel, the Republican choice
- 0:14Speaker 1: for governor. Here in New York, my dear dear friend,
- 0:16Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman Bruce, on the way to Washington, d C.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Today to the White House to see our mutual friend,
- 0:23Speaker 1: President Donald Jay Trump. With that said, here he is,
- 0:27Speaker 1: my friend, Bruce Bruce. Good morning. You got a big
- 0:30Speaker 1: day ahead of you, don't you.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Ay said, It's good to talk to you. I'm going
- 0:34Speaker 2: to be seeing our buddy, who's doing an amazing job
- 0:37Speaker 2: President Trump today in the Oval Office. We're going to
- 0:40Speaker 2: talk about a lot of wide ranging issues. We're going
- 0:44Speaker 2: to talk about ways in which we can make New
- 0:46Speaker 2: York more affordable, how we can fight back against Kathy
- 0:50Speaker 2: Hochel and Zerah Mundanami's energy and tax policies that are
- 0:54Speaker 2: making this the highest place, the highest most expensive place
- 0:58Speaker 2: to live in the whole United States. And we're going
- 1:02Speaker 2: to talk about making New York safer.
- 1:04Speaker 1: That's so important because you got a mayor who's anti cop.
- 1:08Speaker 1: You know that he loves to visit purps in the hospital,
- 1:11Speaker 1: but not the police officers. You've got Kathy up in
- 1:14Speaker 1: Albany who refuses to really address the situation of paial
- 1:17Speaker 1: reform and putting bad people back on the streets. And
- 1:21Speaker 1: I know the President knows about this. He's got people
- 1:23Speaker 1: like me in New York who text him and bother him.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But you and him are very very close. So I
- 1:29Speaker 1: love the fact you can sip with him today. So
- 1:31Speaker 1: when he tries to be nice to people like the governor,
- 1:34Speaker 1: when he says nice things about the mayor, the truth
- 1:37Speaker 1: is neither one of those people deserve any of those compliments.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Mamdani is destroying the city, Hochel is destroying the state.
- 1:45Speaker 1: And our counting on you, Bruce Blakeman, today to tell
- 1:48Speaker 1: President Trump the real truth.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Well, first of all, Kathy Hoche and Zora Mundami want
- 1:54Speaker 2: to end law enforcement's cooperation with Ice, which is very dangerous.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Sid if you saw what happened the other day out
- 2:03Speaker 2: here in Nassau County, there was an illegal migrant. He
- 2:06Speaker 2: came to this country through Mexico up through California, and
- 2:11Speaker 2: he was twelve years old and under the under the
- 2:15Speaker 2: Obama administration, this guy was let loose in the community
- 2:20Speaker 2: at twelve years of age, unsupervised, no parent, no guardian,
- 2:25Speaker 2: just running around the country. Made his way to New
- 2:28Speaker 2: York and in twenty twenty two, under Biden Harris, they
- 2:32Speaker 2: gave this guy legal status. They gave him a green
- 2:35Speaker 2: card and then lo and behold this guy. He had
- 2:39Speaker 2: something wrong with him. He was somebody who was very
- 2:42Speaker 2: dangerous to the community. He ended up butchering two young women,
- 2:46Speaker 2: one forty two, one thirty two. And these women had
- 2:50Speaker 2: their whole life ahead of him, but unfortunately it was
- 2:53Speaker 2: cut short because of the policies of Obama. Biden Harris
- 2:58Speaker 2: which make us less safe, said that I have had
- 3:01Speaker 2: an agreement with ICE for over a year now. We
- 3:03Speaker 2: removed two thousand criminals from our streets in all sorts
- 3:09Speaker 2: of crimes from attempted murder to rape, to robbery, to carjacking,
- 3:15Speaker 2: drug dealing, gang activity. And you know what, where do
- 3:19Speaker 2: they want us to put these two thousand people? They
- 3:21Speaker 2: want us to put them back in the community. This
- 3:24Speaker 2: is disgraceful. We didn't raid one church, we didn't raid
- 3:28Speaker 2: one school, we didn't raid one daycare center or a hospital.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Because we cooperate with ICE, we had more control over
- 3:36Speaker 2: the situation and we made sure that it went very
- 3:38Speaker 2: smoothly without incident. So I'm going to talk to President
- 3:42Speaker 2: Trump about some of those issues. I'm going to talk
- 3:45Speaker 2: about lowering energy costs by being proactive in drilling in
- 3:50Speaker 2: the Marshallas Shale, which is one of the largest natural
- 3:52Speaker 2: gas reserves in the world. We have it here in
- 3:55Speaker 2: New York and we're not using it. What we're doing
- 3:59Speaker 2: is we're in supporting natural gas from Pennsylvania, so Pennsylvania
- 4:03Speaker 2: gets the money. New Yorkers get the short end of
- 4:06Speaker 2: the stick. We're going to end the migrant program here
- 4:09Speaker 2: in New York State, where we spend eight billion dollars
- 4:13Speaker 2: on people who haven't earned a thing. They're not New Yorkers,
- 4:15Speaker 2: they're not Americans. That ends when I become governor. I'm
- 4:18Speaker 2: going to talk about all these issues with President Trump.
- 4:21Speaker 1: One more Bruce is anti Semitism. Two days ago in
- 4:24Speaker 1: Queen's Right on the other side of the border from you,
- 4:27Speaker 1: swastik is painted on people's homes and showls and listen.
- 4:31Speaker 1: My feeling is is that the mayor, Mom Donnie he
- 4:34Speaker 1: encourages this type of stuff. You know, he's still talking
- 4:36Speaker 1: about arresting bb Nittanyahu and how Israel is committing genocide.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And when the political leaders say stuff like that, and
- 4:43Speaker 1: you've got a society that is help bent on hating
- 4:46Speaker 1: the Jews, that doesn't help. So he actually, I thinks
- 4:50Speaker 1: he lights the flame. Kathy Hochel does nothing to put
- 4:53Speaker 1: out the flame. So here again two major officials in
- 4:57Speaker 1: New York doing very little to nothing in fact, encourage
- 5:00Speaker 1: all these anti Semitic situations.
- 5:03Speaker 2: No, well, you're absolutely right, and that's why I was
- 5:06Speaker 2: in Brooklyn yesterday with Assemblyman Michael I was with Assemblyman
- 5:13Speaker 2: Krasny and Assemblyment Novakovs, and we were there sid to
- 5:18Speaker 2: protest the fact that they were allowing in Brooklyn, the
- 5:22Speaker 2: melting pot of New York City with one of the
- 5:25Speaker 2: largest Jewish populations in the world, a singer from uzbekis
- 5:29Speaker 2: Fan who says that Jews should be, you know, wiped
- 5:32Speaker 2: off the map. We can't allow that to happen our country,
- 5:35Speaker 2: who gave her a visa to come in here to sing.
- 5:37Speaker 2: We've got to make sure that we keep people out
- 5:40Speaker 2: like that who are just filled with hate speech. They're
- 5:43Speaker 2: anti Semitic, they have Unamerican values. They shouldn't be invited
- 5:47Speaker 2: to come here to perform in our country, or in
- 5:51Speaker 2: our state or our city.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Wrapping this great conversation up, my dear friend Nasall County
- 5:56Speaker 1: Executive Bruce Blakeman, running for governor. But a very exciting
- 5:59Speaker 1: day out of him. He's on his way to Washington, DC,
- 6:02Speaker 1: going to meet with his dear friend President Donald J.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Trump in the White House. You know, Trump's already threatened
- 6:08Speaker 1: and he has not delivered money to New York State.
- 6:11Speaker 1: The Kathy Hoche will do the same thing with the
- 6:13Speaker 1: city before you know it. At least we know this, Bruce,
- 6:16Speaker 1: when you win this race, not if when you win
- 6:20Speaker 1: getting money from the federal government to help New York.
- 6:23Speaker 1: That's not going to be an issue with Trump and Blakeman.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Right, You're absolutely right, Sid, because I will spend that money. Wisely,
- 6:32Speaker 2: Wundami and Hokl they take the money and they just
- 6:35Speaker 2: give it away. As I said to legal migrants, we
- 6:38Speaker 2: are a magnet for legal migrants in the United States
- 6:41Speaker 2: here in New York because they come here, they get
- 6:43Speaker 2: free transportation, free food, free housing, and a free cell phone.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It costs the taxpayers eighty one thousand dollars for each
- 6:50Speaker 2: illegal migrant. We should be spending this money on New Yorkers,
- 6:53Speaker 2: so he knows I'll spend the money wisely, that I
- 6:56Speaker 2: won't just give it away to people who came here
- 6:58Speaker 2: illegally and just land in New York and all of
- 7:02Speaker 2: a sudden they get everything free and the taxpayers get nothing.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Matter of fact, the taxpayers are footing the bill.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So if you have any free time like downtime in
- 7:11Speaker 1: the Oval, and you guys aren't really talking about anything
- 7:13Speaker 1: important for the moment, feel free to give me a call.
- 7:15Speaker 1: You and Trump hop on the phone to both of you,
- 7:18Speaker 1: and he can wish me a belated happy birthday from
- 7:20Speaker 1: two weeks ago.
- 7:21Speaker 2: How about that sounds good. I'll bring it out all right.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Listen, have a great trip. We love you here in
- 7:27Speaker 1: New York. You are going to win this. So many
- 7:29Speaker 1: people stop me every day. I love your friend, Bruce.
- 7:32Speaker 1: I love your friend, Bruce. I know President Trump loves
- 7:34Speaker 1: you too, So keep up the great work. Have a
- 7:37Speaker 1: great meeting today. Bruce Plateman will talk again very soon.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Great job.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Love you too, My brother, take care.

- 7:45Speaker 1: Nassau County executive on his way to the White House
