• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let me talk to my buddy, though Corney, the Nashall
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: County executive. But he will be the next governor here
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in New York because God loves us and God will
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: not allow this wicked witch, this wretched, vile Kathy Hukel
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: continue to destroy our estate. So here comes on his
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: white horse, my guy, Bruce Blakeman, white hair, white horse.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning, brucey, Hey, sid, how are you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not used to talking to a hall of famer
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: this special.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: God, I love you. I'm not used to being a
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: hall of famer, so or even.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: You are a hall of famer.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Look who's talking? Thank you, Bruce.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And I thought about you a lot last week. We
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: did correspond a couple of times being in the beautiful
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: country of Israel, and I keep saying the same thing
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: all morning long.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: But you two.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Haters out there, which are multiplying by the day, you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It's not cool.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You're hateful and you're stupid. I recommend you go there,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: spend a week in Israel, and they'll come back with
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a completely different point of view.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: What do you think groups, Well, listen, it is a
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: country that is a democracy. They have human rights, they
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: have an independent judiciary, they have religious freedom, they have
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: all the things that we have here in America. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that's what makes Israel great, and the people are great.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: And the fact of the matter is said that people
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: are in two categories when they criticize Israel and their
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: right to exist. There are the people who are uneducated,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and we have a shot at educating them. And as
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: you said, go to Israel see for yourself. And then
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: there are evil people. Those people we can't change. We
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: have to destroy them.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Agreed, And bbe such a difficult job. I don't get
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the criticism. It's fine talking about people who don't think
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Israel has a right to exist. That's what our disgusting
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: mayor thinks. So I made a big mistake a couple
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of months ago. I revoked it to C and O
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman. I revoked it in front of a thousand
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: people on stage in Jerusalem the same night that Bibi
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Natanya who spoke. I revoked my apology to Mom Donnie
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: because I gave this guy months and months to prove
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: me wrong, and everything I said in.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That tweet was right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He's a disgusting person, a vile Jew, hating disgusting person.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But now he wants you to apologize.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He's actually calling on you to apologize for your words
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: about brad Lander, which, much like my tweet, were one
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thousand percent correct.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Brad Lander is another low life. Do you have any.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Intention of apologizing to brad Lander?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. When this guy stands on a stage with
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Mandami and Chevalier, two people who support the concept of
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Rivet of the Sea, which basically is exterminate all the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: people in Israel and run him into the sea. He
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: is a collaborator. He is somebody that stands with them,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and basically he gives a certain amount of legitimacy because
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he was born Jewish. So people will say, well, Mandami
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: can't be that bad, Chevalier can't be that bad. Brad
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Lander stands with them, he's Jewish. Well that's why I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: called him out, because we can't have that facade that
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: there is an air of legitimacy because brad Lander stands
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: with them. Brad Lander is a collaborator, he's a trader,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: he's an American, and you know, Sid, I want to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I want to just clarify one thing that I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: think we talk enough about this isn't just about the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Jewish people, It's not just about the state of Israel.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Think about Mandami canceling the Puerto Rican Day breakfast. He
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: canceled that breakfast because there were people in that room,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: many of whom are devout Christians, that he didn't want
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to associate with. And I tell my Christian friends all
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the time, the Jews are the appetizer. Christians are the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: main course. These people want to destroy America and American
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: values which were bred and born and nurtured under the
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: foundation of Judeo Christian work, ethic and principles. And that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is the foundation of our country. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, James Monroe, and Alexander Hamilton, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Great New Yorker. And people may not know this, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I'm Solomon, a Jewish financier. He finds ants the last
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: months of the war against Great Britain, the Revolutionary War,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and he did that and went broke supporting the United
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: States of America. We never would have won the war
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: if it weren't for him, Salomon. We should remember that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: because there are people who say, well, what were the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Jewish contributions to America. Well, Heim Solomon was the first,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and he was the biggest because he financed Washington's army.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You can look that up.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: No, Well said, you know, one hundred percent right. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Bradlander is a Nazi. There were Jews they were called
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Capo who who walked alongside the Nazis world War Two.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He's not the only one. Chuck Schumer marching with the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Gaze yesterday. He's another one, Jamie Raskin, Jerry Nadler.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of them.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Even even Goldman wasn't I'm not gonna call him a Nazi,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Dan Goldman, but he wasn't exactly a great, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a great friend of the Jews either during his run.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: But Goldman Goldman stood tall. I give Goldman credit. You know, well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: there are very few things that that Goldman and I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: could agree upon, but he did stand tall when he
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: talked about Israel's right to exist, he did, he did, yes,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So he did.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I've got to give credits like Barack Obama. I philosophically,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I'm one hundred and eighty degrees opposite Barack Obama, But
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to this day I will give him credit for pulling
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the trigger on killing Osama ban Lauden. You have to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: give credit where it belongs. We have a lot of differences,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: but when when Democrats do right, we have to applaud
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: them close so that they'll continue to do right.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you got to point that out because it never happens.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: They got to point. But, Mam Donnie, not just a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rican day breakfast. He also found a way to include,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you know, radical Islam. During his speech on Saint Patrick's Day,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: He's walked past the Christopher Columbus statue giving it the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: finger for the Italians out there.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So yes, it's not just about the Jews.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Mam Dona.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He hates everybody unless you're Muslom and specifically radical Islam.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the governor because that's your running against.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I know Ma'm Donnie is part of that because she's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: so afraid of the mayor that she will do whatever
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he wants. But I heard you talk to John Katumatitis
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: yesterday and speak about some of the issues, which include taxes, regulations,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: utility bills, obviously law.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: And order and safety.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I guess those are the big issues in your run
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: against this horrible governor.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: You know it's funny said. The other day, I was
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: in the Bronx and I was talking to people in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood and I came upon this guy and I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: talking to him and he says, I'm a socialist. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: say really, he goes yeah. I said, what do you
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: think of Hopeful? He goes well, he goes I don't
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: know that much about her, but I like her. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I said, well, do you like higher taxes? He goes no.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I said do you like more crime in neighborhoods? He
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: goes no. I said you like higher electric bills? He
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: goes no. I said, well that's what you've gotten under
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochel. So by the end of my conversation, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: guy's like, I'm going to vote for you. We just
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: got We've got to educate people I met with a
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: bunch of Dominicans in the Bronx also just wonderful people,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: hardworking people, good Christians, good values. They love America. They're
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the kind of immigrants that we need in America. But
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochel has made us the most overtaxed, over regulated state.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: We're at number fifty in economic development five zero. I mean,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: that is an embarrassment for the once Great Empire sty
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: pro criminals.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: So she's pro criminal, that's right. So what can she boast?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I want to fast forward this all the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: way to that debate, right, so you hit the stage
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and you can highlight ten things I'm being nice, ten things.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: That have gone really bad here.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: In New York. What can she possibly boast?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: She can't. And that's why I don't believe she'll I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: don't think she'll debate me. I listen, Kathy Hockel, if
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you're listening, and I know you have people that listen
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to said, because you want to hear what we're all saying.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochel, I will debate you every three weeks, every
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: two weeks, every week, every day from now to election day.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Let's get on stage. Let's put it on radio and television,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: social media. Let people hear your record of failure compared
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: with my record of making Nassau County the safest county
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: in America, not raising taxes a penny in four years,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: in fact, cutting one hundred and fifty million dollar tax
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: increasing my predecessor, and working hiring more cops, removing two
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: thousand illegal migrants with criminals records from attempted murder, to rape,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: to burglary and robbery, drug dealing, and gang activity, and
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: you criticize me for that. Where do you want to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: put those two thousand criminals, Kathy Hogel? And you spent
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: eight and a half billion dollars of our tax money
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: on people who aren't New Yorkers who came here, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: within fifteen minutes they got free food, free housing, free transportation,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and a free cell phone. When New Yorkers are struggling,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: when they're struggling with affordability, I will create jobs, better jobs,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: better paying jobs with better benefits. I will create economic activity.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I will cut taxes, and I will cut your electric
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: bill in half because I will get rid of the
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: green energy scam that Kathy Hochal is inflicted upon all
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: of us.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Has she intimated that she's not going to debate? You mean,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I do it right here?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not biased, obvious, I am.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: But she said she's not.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Going to do it every time I offered a debate,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: or she ignores it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Wow, but she doesn't she legally have to do it
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: at least once.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: No, she didn't take matching funds. Oh boy, right, she
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: didn't take matching funds. That was the first indication that
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: she didn't want a debate. How could she possibly get
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: on a stage and try to defend the fact that
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: where number fifty in economic development, our electric bills are
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: seventy percent higher than the national average. How can she
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: get on the podium and debate the fact that we
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: are the most overtaxed state in the United States, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: fact that hundreds of thousands of people have left this state,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the fact that businesses have left and taken jobs from
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: this state. We are in a death spiral. And if
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not elected, I just I fear for the future
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: of the young people in this state, because they will
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: have no future under Kathy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Hockel, you know, on the way out.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It's interesting when you saw these discussions, and I was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there at the very beginning. I was you came to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: me right away, early early on, when what's her name
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: up on the northern part of the state. She's in congress.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: How's her name?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: She dropped out because she can't beat you? What's her name?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Come on?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Right when she was running and Mike Waller was still
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: considering running, and you and I had these discussions early on,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: early on about possibly running and what you thought your
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: chances were and now it's you. You're the guy, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you just said you fear for this state if you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: don't win. And I'm gonna be honest, Bruce, I hear
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: every day every day, We're done. If Bruce doesn't win,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Not if Lapatrie doesn't win, not if Driscoo doesn't win,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: not even if Brad Lander wins, We're done if Bruce
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't win. Is that an intense amount of pressure on
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you every day?
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Because if I hear it, you got to hear it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Yes it is. It's a tremendous responsibility, but it's one
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: that I will gladly take up and I will sacrifice
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: for my kids and my grandkids so they can live
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: of life in New York State that my parents and
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: my grandparents provided for me, my brother, and my three sisters. So, yes,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: it's a fight where it's fighting. Is there a tremendous
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: amount of pressure, obviously, Yes, it's a big responsibility, but
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: it's one that I am glad to take on for
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the future of our state.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Thank God we have you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I mean this, and I really do feel in my
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: heart of hearts now because you're my brother.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Are you gonna win? Because you're out there. I even
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: see you. Did I see you on CNN last week?
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Did I see that?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yes? You did.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You gotta go, and you're all over the state and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. You've You've really done a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: tremendous job juggling both still being a very very good
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: national county executive and campaigning at the same time. I'm
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: proud of you, I love you, and we are going
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to win. Bruce Blateman, once again, thank you so much.
