• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, will he be addressing congestion pricing, the tolls

  Speaker 2: for bridges? And the second question is, where right now
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: is all of this revenue going, if you please?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Out the window, usually. It goes to important things like waste, fraud,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and bloat. That's what it covers. Yeah, Bruce Blakeman, I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: guarantee you, this is another reason you want to vote
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for him. I guarantee on day one, the congestion pricing
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: tax ends that night. and he'll get rid of a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: lot of taxes. This is what he did in Long Island.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: He'll make you safer. He will start to cut taxes,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and you can be sure there'll be no tax increases
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with him. Now you're going to say, well, he's got
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a big Democratic legislature. He had the same problem in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Nassau County. He's pretty good at working with them and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: getting things done. But we've got to hope and pray
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that Bruce Blakeman becomes the governor. Everything will change. He
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: can also do some stuff to rope in Mamdani. and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: keep away some of his crazy nonsense. Bruce Blakeman, you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: can help him. Go to BlakemanForNewYork.com. BlakemanForNewYork.com. Let's go to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Arthur in Cedarhurst, speaking of Nassau County. Arthur, how are
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you doing?

  Speaker 5: First of all, long-time fan going back to Sundays with Sinatra.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Wow, very good.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: My simple question is, this emergency on the measles, Do
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: you know how many measles cases this year have come
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: up in New York State?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: How many?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: A little over 100.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: It was 16 in September. This is a massive outbreak
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: of an emergency, or is this a political ploy?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It's very, very, very, very, very few cases. Yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it's a good point. What are you doing, Cedarhurst, Arthur?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I'm a computer consultant.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Fixed computers.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Too complicated. You really fix computers?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we can't get it to work, and then
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we call you guys, a guy like you comes in,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and you go into parts of the computer we've never
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: even seen. Is it really that complicated, or could anybody
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: learn this stuff?
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: It's not any more complicated than the job you do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: And anybody can't do your job. Not everybody can do
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: my job.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Good answer, Arthur. Thanks for calling. Let's go
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to Dan in Queens. Dan, how you doing?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Good, good, Mark. Mark, Blakeman has got to be the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: biggest populist in the country, either Republican or Democrat, besides
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the sanctuary city today. Last week, him coming out with saying.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He would reduce.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: New York state taxes, 50% for moderate income people. That's
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: like revolutionary, really. I wish they could get that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's more common sense than it used to be the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: way a lot of politicians were, but I guess nowadays
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that's considered revolutionary. Yeah, no, Blakeman's got a brilliant tax
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: plan he's put out, and it would dramatically reduce taxes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You know, our budget here in New York, is some
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: preposterous number. It's, I don't know, it's like 270 billion
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in New York. It should be about 100 billion. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's double, triple what it's supposed to be. Florida has
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a much bigger population than New York. Their budget is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: half of what ours is. It's all just waste, fraud, bloat.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It's easy to cut the budget in half, which would
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: mean your taxes would be cut in half. Let's go
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to Jerry in Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing? Very well.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark. Thank you for taking my call. Every
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: time I watch television, I see Bernie Sanders. He speaks
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: like a crazy maniac. I mean, I think this guy
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: should be committed. He's out to ruin America, and all
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the people that listen to him, they think they should
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: be committed, too.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. He's not crazy. He's got a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: good act. Hey, the guy's got, like, four mansions now.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He's flying around on jet planes. He must know something.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, private planes.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: He's... Everything he says is a lie.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Well, he's a politician. He's in Congress. What do you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: expect him to do? They all lie. But good point, Jerry. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: he's your typical socialist. He'll give you a handout now
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and then. The guy literally has three mansions. Three mansions.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: He's got a home everywhere. He's a multimillionaire. He makes
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like $ 180, 000 as a senator. Somehow he's got $ 30 million
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in cash on hand. He's made a fortune. And all
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he does is lecture you, and he's yelling and screaming,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but the top 5% or the top 2% only pay 1%.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows what he's talking about, but it sounds good. And,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, he has the hair sticking out, so he
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: looks a little crazier. He's your typical socialist. Oh, when
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we come back, this new study comes out. You're like, 80%
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of Americans think the economy's in trouble. You know, it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: actually just the opposite. We'll talk to a real expert,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: John Carney, the Breitbart business editor. The Breitbart Business News,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's the first thing the top economists read every day.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Scott Besson has said he reads it every morning first thing,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Larry Kudlow. But he'll give us the real story on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the economy. We'll get to that coming up next on 710WOR.
