  Speaker 3: How you doing good, Mark, We we're doing very well.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: We're getting around the state talking issues with a lot
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: of people. And basically, Mark, people in New York State
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: are miserable under Kathy Hochel. They don't like her alliance
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: with her comrade Mondami, and between the two of them,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: they are wrecking the economy of New York City. They're
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: hurting the economy of New York State and they're driving
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: out people and businesses.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Now, you took over Nasau County in the tax says
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we're horrible. Their property was this horrible. So what do
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you do in a situation like that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I cut property taxes by one
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollars. My predecessor had a one
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollars tax increase, and I canceled
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: that out. And with inflation between six and eight percent
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a year, I hired you know, probably six hundred new
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: law enforcement officers, four hundred police officers, two hundred corrections officers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: And we did it without raising taxes one penny in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: four years. So we made not only the community safer,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: but we made it more affordable.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Well, this is radical talk cutting taxes, hiring more policemen nowadays,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Hey what a thought. Yeah, this Kathy Hoko is always pandering,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: pandering to the left, pandering of the media, pandry. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I've heard you do stuff through the years. You just
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: don't pander. You just whatever's common sense and should be done.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Where do you get the nerve to do that? That
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: takes nerve?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, well, my parents were both World War
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Two veterans. My mother joined the army. My dad said
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: she didn't want to be left out of a good fight.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And they taught us about public service and about fighting
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: for what's right, fighting for American values, fighting for common
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: sense ideas, and you know, I learned from them, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I have a family that's got a history of public service,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: So it means a lot to us. And you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: if we're not willing to fight for our children, our grandchildren,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and for the future of the state, then that doesn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: say a lot about us. So I'm in this to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: make sure that we have a more affordable state, a
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: safer state, and a state where people can be proud
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to say that they're New Yorkers, with a governor who
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: puts New Yorkers first, doesn't spend billions of dollars on
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I legal migrants who've been here for fifteen minutes and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: haven't earned the thing. A governor that actually cares about
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: their families and the future of the state. So I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: am looking forward to the day when I become governor.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We can turn things around, use common sense and make
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: this a more affordable and safer state.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Well, you can help Bruce Blakeman's campaign. Go to Blakemanfromnew
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: York dot com, donate, volunteer, whatever you want to do. Hey,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at budgets like the budget of Chicago's like
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: twelve billion a year, the budget of Pittsburgh's like ten
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: billion a year. The budget of New York City is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty billionaere. How on earth is that possible.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it's more than the whole state of Florida. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: here's an even more shocking number. The budget of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: state of New York is twice as much as Florida.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: That it's got a bigger population. Now, it's just unbelievable
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that they can't manage the affairs of this state in
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a prudent way that delivers quality services at a cost
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: efficient manner. And that's the problem with Kathy Hockel. She's
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: got all of these mandates and she's got this green
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: energy scam that makes our utility bills go up. We're
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: fifty percent highering our utility bills in Pennsylvania. Wow, Mark,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: when I become governor, I'm cutting your bills in half.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I'm going to cut all the hidden seas and taxes
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and your utility bills. That's what drives the cost up.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It's not the cost of energy.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when they say cutting services, you could just cut
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the waist, the fraud, the bloat. Can't you and not
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: have to cut services?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Well? Absolutely, just think about medicaid. Our medicaid bill here
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: in New York is twice as much as Florida, It's
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: twice as much as Texas, all bigger states. We don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: have people that are more sick here Into York. What
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we have is a system where it allows for fraud
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and abuse, just like the kid we saw in Minneapolis.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And you know, when I get into be governor, the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: first thing I'm going to do is uncover all this
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: fraud and abuse and make sure that we cut it
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: out so that we can deliver quality services at an
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: affordable price, not only for the taxpayers, but also for
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the people who use those services. They get better services
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: for more cost efficient manner because the people that are
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: getting the money now they're getting too much money and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: they're doing a lousy job.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now you've done all this kind of stuff in
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Long Island, which is now the safest county in America,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: probably the best run county in America. Hey, by next year,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: we could have so many Mom Donnie problems going on.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: If you're hopefully you will be the governor. As governor,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: what can you do to control mom Donnie and the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: crazy stuff he does?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Well? First of all, I'm not going to let him
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: increase taxes. That's number one. Number two, I'm not going
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to let him destroy the economy of New York City,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: which is the financial capital of the world, which he
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: seems hell bent on doing. And number three, if he
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't enforce the law, I will. So we're not going
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to let criminals run our city. We're not going to
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: let the city going to financial ruin. As governor, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: will stop him from doing those things.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, we also these crazy district attorneys like Alvin Braig
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: just let criminals out. As governor, don't you have the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: power over the Don't they actually work for the governor.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, So for district attorneys who aren't upholding the law,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I will make sure that they do that or they
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: will pay the price. And the price is that a
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: governor can remove a sitting district attorney that's not doing
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: their job. And if you're not doing your job, you'll
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: get a warning, you'll get a timeline within which to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: make sure that you are doing everything possible to keep
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: our community safe. And if you're not, if you're siding
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: with the criminals like Kathy Hockel does and Zora Mundami,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: then there will be consequences to be paid by the way. Mark,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: how about him not funding the five thousand police officer
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: new hires that we desperate we need in New York.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's defunding the police. He's so transparent in
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: what he's doing. I just wish people would open their
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: eyes and see that he's somebody that does not like
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: police officers. He wants to use social workers to enforce
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: a lot and we all know that that'll never work.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and people say, what can we do? But it well,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: elect Bruce Blakeman governor. That will help a lot. Hey,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Kathi Hokle, I remember last time around she said no
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: congestion pricing. Then the day after the election she puts
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: in congestion pricing. So this time she said no tax increase.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But can't we be pretty sure she'll increase taxes the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: day after the election.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Of course, Mark, you know they got a secret deal.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: First she endorses Mandamie, then Mundami endorses her, and they
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: got a wink in a nod that after election day,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: taxes are going to go up. And the taxes are
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: going to go up not just for wealthy people but
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: for middle class people. And remember this every time a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: millionaire moves out of New York State. Who picks up
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the slack? It's the middle class. Somebody's got to pay
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: for all these programs that they have, many of them
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: which are totally mismanaged. So as governor, I will bring
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: sanity back to government. We'll bring economic development, job prosperity,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: make it more affordable by cutting energy costs and making
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: life happier for New Yorkers because right now they're miserable
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: under Kathy Hochel and Zaron Mundonia.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Well, Bruce Blakeman is the best county executive in America,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and that's basically being in the governor. He would be
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a great governor. What can people do that they're listening
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: if they want to help.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You, Well, first of all, everybody's got a cell phone.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: You got to text people, you got to call them,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you got to email them, you got to make posts
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: on social media. We need to get a groundswell of
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: support to win, and we are doing that. We're gaining
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of momentum. Go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Hey listen,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: if you can't make a big contribution, give twenty five
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: thirty bucks, forty bucks, whatever you can afford it all helps,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It all adds up, and we need the money to
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: be able to counter Kathy Hochel, who's getting tremendous contributions
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: from the green energy scam people, and all the other
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: agencies and not for profits and companies that are making
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: billions of dollars off us. Think about all the money
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: that's been been spent on illegal migrants, billions of dollars
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that could have been spent to cut taxes. It could
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: have been spent on hospitals, on schools, on educating our children,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: on our infrastructure. Just giving money away to people who've
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: been here for fifteen minutes. That's not putting New Yorkers first.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: That's doing something that really is a fiduciary breach on
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: her part. She has a responsibility in New Yorkers to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: spend them, to spend our hard earned tax dollars on
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: people who've been here for fifteen minutes and haven't earned
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a saying that is a total disgrace.
• 9:52
