Bruce Blakeman | Nassau County Executive on His Evisceration of Incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul in First & Only NYS Gubernatorial Debate · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Without further ado, here he is, the current Nassau County executive,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: soon to be governor of New York, my brother, Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, congratulations.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That was a whooping you put on that lady last night.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: How do you feel today?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel great because I was able to articulate
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the issues that everyday people face in New York State.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You know, It's really sad. The once great empire state,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: people feel helpless. They feel like they have a state
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that doesn't listen to them. It doesn't address their needs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Our taxes are out of control. Our utility bills are
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: out of control. Jobs are leaving our state. People feel
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: less safe in their homes and their communities. You know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: we can turn that around and make this a Again,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the once great empire state where people feel safe in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: their communities, where there's good jobs with good benefits, good pay,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and people feel good about being New Yorkers, not the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: way they feel now. So I want to make people happy.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul has made them miserable. it's time for a change.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Time for a change. You know, I'm very, very critical
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: on this show. I know you've heard it, Bruce. Alvaro Lewis,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like him. I think he's a bad guy.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: He's a Democrat. He sides with people like Mamdani, AOC,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul. Don't like him. I don't know anything about
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this Susan lady that was out there last night, too.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to say something right now that's going
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to shock my listening audience. I thought they were pretty
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: fair last night. In fact, I thought some of their
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: more difficult questions were posed at Hochul. What did you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: think of the mediators last night.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I had no problem with the moderators. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: thought they did a good job. Yes, I know their
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: political persuasion, but I thought they tried to be fair.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: The only the only quibble I have is they never
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: addressed Kathy Hochul and her asinine and quite frankly, racist
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: statement that black kids in the Bronx don't know what
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a computer is. If a Republican had said that, it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: would have been front page news. They would have harped
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on it. What was Kathy Hochul thinking when she said that?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know that Kathy Hochul even understands
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: her own education system because in New York in sixth grade,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they get computers in the school and they have one-on-one
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: training on computers. So why did she single out black kids?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I wanted to know that. I was hoping the moderators
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: would probe her on that. Why did you say that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: about black kids? Why did you say that upstate voters
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: were unsophisticated? I mean, Kathy Hochul is an elitist and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: maybe a racist because she thinks she knows better than
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: everybody else, and she looks down upon people. And that's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what I think was the only thing that was lacking
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: from the moderators. They didn't press her on that. As
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, they tried to cut me off
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: when I talked about it. Right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You did bring it up. Both of those issues that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: upstaters are stupid and black kids are stupid. You did
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: bring it up to your credit. But you're right. They
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: did not move any further with that. Now, look, we
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: all knew you and I talked about this. I talked
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: about it yesterday with Pataki and Bob Holden and others.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: We knew that she was going to play the trump card. Okay,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we knew it. But I'm sorry. I was watching your
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: face and you kept smiling because you couldn't believe it yourself.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody... anybody Bruce Blakeman could have predicted
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: she would utter Trump as many times as she did. One,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it says she wasn't prepared. She was completely lost. That's one. Two,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: nobody in this world suffers from TDS more than her.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But were you shocked as I was how many times
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: she actually said President Trump's name?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You know, one of my friends said to me after
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the debate last night, she should be grateful that Trump
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: is president. Otherwise, she would have had nothing to say
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: last night. So, I mean, Trump, Trump, Trump. Listen, Trump
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: didn't raise our taxes. Trump didn't make our utility bills
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: 70% higher than the national average. Kathy Hochul approved 48
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: rate hikes. And for those of you who live in
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the city or the suburbs, it was Kathy Hochul that
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: raised your fares 21 times in four years. It wasn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. But she can talk about Trump all she wants.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And as I said in the debate, she talks about
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Trump because she won't be able to defend her record
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: because it's a record of failure and misery.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you did also say, and I got to give
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you some credit for this because you may get yelled
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: out later, that, you know, you have differences with Trump.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You know, you talked about being pro-choice. So am I.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm also pro-choice. You talk about other policies that you like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: including immigrants that have been, you know, migrants that have
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: been good and law-abiding migrants which have an opportunity to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: stay here and not get kicked out.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You mentioned a couple of differences. You had a philosophy
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. And at one point, you even said
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that you thought that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the best
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: president ever. Are you worried that Trump may text you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, Bruce, I love you. What was that?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: No, what I said was his term isn't over. He's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: got two more years. So the report card, I believe,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is an A. I give him an A. But his
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: term isn't over. He can do even greater things going forward.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But Dwight D. Eisenhower's report card is in. And I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think by all accounts, he's probably one of the top
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: eight presidents ever. So the question was asked, who is
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the greatest president in my lifetime? Well, the first president
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: in my lifetime was Dwight D. Eisenhower. And I've said
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: over and over again, you know, that I support President Trump.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I support him I endorse him. I worked hard for him.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But again, this race is not about Donald Trump. This
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: is about Kathy Hochul and her record, and it's about
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: my record of cutting taxes, making a more prosperous county,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and having the safest county in America. I'll put my
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: record next to Kathy Hochul's, compare the two, and any
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: fair-minded person that compared my record with her record is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: going to vote for me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: A hundred percent. So Mark Wayne Mullen's going to join
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: me in about 30 minutes, Bruce. And he's been railing
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: at Mom Donnie that Mom Donnie's going on and on
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: about this Oscar Bellagal creep. You know, he's like a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: George Floyd type of guy. Same creep, you know. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that's all she wanted to talk about last night. You
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: did a great job pointing out. Wait a second. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: had two ladies in my community, two different homes. Their
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: throats were slashed. They were murdered. You brought up Sheridan Gorman,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the lovely young lady, Mike Lawler's neighborhood, shot to death
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. Nothing. Richard Williams, Vietnam vet, he survived cancer.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He survived World War II, excuse me, and he was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: thrown to his death in on the subway tracks. You
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: put up all these great examples, Bruce, of beautiful Americans
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that were cut down, lives cut short by illegal aliens,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and she's out there, her, Mamdani, and others, trying to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: protect Oscar Belgal. She don't want to hear it. All
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: she wanted to talk about was the five-year-old that, by
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the way, was unharmed in the backseat of the car.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I thought you killed her on that policy last night.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, what about the 14-year-old girl who was raped by
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a legal migrant? Sid, that girl's life is changed forever.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And Kathy Hochul couldn't even apologize to that girl or
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: her family. She hasn't returned Sheridan Gorman's calls. She never
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: said anything about the two women who were murdered by
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: an illegal migrant in my county on the same day.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I just have to wonder, why is she
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: protecting these criminals? What is the basis of her wanting
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: illegal migrants in our communities? And I think the answer
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: is you just have to see the position of her
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: lieutenant governor candidate, Adrian Adams, who says illegal migrants should
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be able to vote in our elections. So let's bring
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: as many illegal migrants in because they know that. that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: at some point Democrats are going to wake up, independent
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: voters are going to wake up, and Republicans are going
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to get out to vote, and they're going to change
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: fundamentally the politics of this state because the left wing
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party, the socialist wing, is out of control.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: It's being controlled by people who hate America and hate
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: our values.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You know, you also did a terrific job, Bruce Blakeman,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: with the energy argument. He said, hey, look, in Pennsylvania, Democrats,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Josh Shapiro, right? They're driving around by the border because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they take advantage of their own energy in fancy Mercedes
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: or Cadillacs. Here, you go right over the border to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: New York, and they're driving 25-year-old beat-up pickup trucks because
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: we're paying Pennsylvania when we've got it right here in
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: New York. Now, maybe I'm wrong. I thought I watched
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: every second very, very closely. I did not hear at
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: any point her make an argument for her stance or
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: beat your argument. Did you?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: She was blaming Trump. What does Trump have to do
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: with the fact that she approved 48 rate hikes that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: she takes money out of your utility bill payment every
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: month to put in a slush fund, the green energy scam,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to invest in science projects like wind turbines in the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: middle of the ocean or solar farms under snow in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: upstate New York. And we're not extracting the natural gas
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that we have over 100 years supply of here in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: New York State. I mean, it's just bizarre what her
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: energy policy is. And then she says there's not enough
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: energy for data centers, so that's why she banned it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You've created a situation in our state, in atmosphere, where
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: we are going to have rolling blackouts, We're not going
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to be able to produce enough energy to support the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: grid and just do the right thing. We have natural
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: gas in abundance. Just let them extract that natural gas
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like they do in Pennsylvania. We'll reduce our energy bills
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in half and we will have energy security and we
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: will create prosperity and jobs. That's exactly what I'm going
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to do when I become governor.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a big, big deal. Oh, come on. She
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: kept talking, too, about all the money she's invested to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: keep us safe. Well, dummy. Maybe you would have to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: invest billions and billions of dollars to keep us safe
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if you hand over 16,000 detainees to ICE. You said
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it last night, and again, you were on the money.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: In Nassau County, we cooperate, okay? And they're not going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: into churches and schools and homes, all the lies that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Democrats say. They're not doing any of that. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you've had no incidents. She made up one story. You've
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: had no incidents in Nassau County. We have them all
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the time here in New York City. Why do you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: think that's the case? And I thought once again, the opportunity,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: she failed.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Well, she never talked about the two ICE agents that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: were murdered. And maybe that's the reason why. ICE is very,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: very careful and cautious about people who are convicted criminals
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: in this country illegally and try to run them over
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: with their car. Why didn't they just stop, get out
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: of the car? But here's the point, Sid. Let's not
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: get lost on all of the details. Let's get down
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and synthesize it to its simplest form. He never should
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: have been in this state.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Bottom line.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: He's an illegal migrant with a criminal record. He's a gangbanger.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And he's now out on pending charges for peddling poisonous
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: drugs to our kids. Get him out of this state.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You know, she's a liar, too. I mean, and you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: got upset at one point last night. You were upset.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I know you. You're like my brother and you handled
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: yourself well. But when she said you're hanging out with
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: white supremacists, what? You're like, what? She also lied about
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: what you said about Medicaid. You never said you wanted
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to slash it in half. She also lied about what
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you say about Jessica Tisch when she talked about that
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: secret meeting about anti-Semitism when they finally put up Mamdani's name.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wrote down five or six times last night,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, where she flat out lied about you. Lied.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, she had nothing positive to say about
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: her record. And that's the bottom line. You know, Sid,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: she's been governor for almost five years now. She never
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: talked about any of the good things that she did.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: It was either Trump or lies about me that I
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: hang out with white supremacists.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I love everybody, and you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: know that, Sid. I don't care whether you're black, white, Latino, Asian.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I don't care about your religion, your lifestyle, you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: what your abilities are. I like people. I'm around people
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: all the time because I like them. Kathy Hochul, she
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: drove into the debate last night. I don't know if
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you saw this, Sid. I saw it. She drove into
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the debate, right into a garage, close the garage door.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And you know what? She had supporters there. Strangely enough,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: she had supporters.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: She didn't even wave to them. She didn't get out
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and say hello. I walked over to my supporters. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: shook their hand. I thanked them for being there. She
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't like people. I like people. I like people for
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: what they are, not the way they look.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It's true. And that's why people love you. They do.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Two more. We'll let you run. Have you heard from
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: president Trump since the debate last night?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: No, I, he was in Alaska. So that's a lot
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of time zones away. I'm sure that we'll talk this week. Um,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: He's a busy guy. He's out there rallying the troops.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And look, let me say something to everybody out there,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: because I know your reach is very far. It goes
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: beyond New York.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Vote Republican this year. Even if you don't love the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate, vote Republican in our congressional races, the U.S.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Senate races, the governor's races, because the left-wing socialist DSA
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Democrats are have taken over the Democrat Party. And these
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: people are anti-American. And if they get into office and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: they get a majority in the Congress or the Senate,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we're in deep, deep trouble.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Yep, we are.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Just get out there and vote Republican. If you don't
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: like the Republican candidate, for whatever reason, just hold your
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: nose and vote Republican so that we have a Republican
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: majority in the Senate. And Mike Johnson continues on as
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the Speaker of the House.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, that's right. Hakeem Jeffries, what a mess
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that would be. I know you, there were seven invitations.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Every major network wanted to do a debate. She only
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: agreed to one. I got to be honest, after watching
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: her against Zeldin years ago and watching you wipe the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: floor with her last night, now I know why, Bruce Blakeman,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: she only agreed to one. If I'm her, I don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: go anywhere near a debate stage again, but it does
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: show what a coward she is.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, She picked the smallest media outlet. It's
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: a totally New York City-centric media outlet. And the bottom
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: line was, I agreed to NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox 5, CNN,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you name it. I would have gone on any media outlet.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: She would only agree to Spectrum. So that was my
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: only opportunity. But I took her up on it. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: had a great night. I felt great. My supporters felt great.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And I would have to think that she had a
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: very bad night last night.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I would think she didn't sleep all night. So last one, Bruce.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Somebody said to me yesterday, they said, you know, people,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they all know who Kathy Hochul is, but still not
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: everybody knows who Bruce is. And you're right, you didn't
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: get the exposure you could have gotten if she would
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: have agreed, and again, she's a coward, to do it
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: on a major network. But still, many, many people probably
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: saw you last night that are not completely familiar with you,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: especially New York One, because it's basically a communist Democrat channel.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Are you waking up this morning feeling like your chances
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: are better than winning, that you will win, I should say,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: than you felt yesterday morning?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Well, let me say this. Yesterday, another poll came out
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: that had us in a virtual dead heat, and I
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: felt confident all along that we were going to win.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: But you know what? It's always good to get a
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: debate under your belt and know that you did a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: good job, that you articulated the issues well, and that
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you had the better position, and you made the better
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: argument for being governor. So I do think that any
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: fair-minded person who watched the debate last night, any undecided person,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: would have to conclude that I would definitely be a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: much better governor than Kathy Hoechlin. 100%.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And now tomorrow night you get Bruce Blakeman, Sid Rosenberg,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: James Dolan, and the world champion New York Knicks.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm hoping some of their mojo rubs off
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: on me.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: You don't need it. You were really spectacular last night,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and you made all of us very, very proud. You
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: run a tremendous campaign while still doing a great job,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: mind you, running Nassau County. You are going to win.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You're going to win, Bruce Blakeman. Last night, like you said,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: real clear who the person should be in Albany come
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: January of 2027. That person is Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: love you. Great job last night. Great job this morning.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: God bless you, Sid.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: God bless you, too. I love you, too. Bruce Blakeman
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: right there, ladies and gentlemen. Fresh off his amazing appearance
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: last night in that debate against Kathy Hochul.
