00:00I'm Bruce Blakeman. I'm here in Manhattan with a very talented and very creative artist,
00:07Debra Messing. We all love her. She is truly iconic, and she is trying as hard as she can
00:15to save New York, to make sure that it's safe for Jewish people to live in this community
00:22and to live in this state. So, Debra, thank you so much for your courage to speak out.
00:27Oh, gosh. I am so grateful that you are running. You are what we need more than anything.
00:36The decline in this city over the last four years has been so exponential and devastating,
00:44economically, socially, on every level. And obviously, we've lost so much business here.
00:51People are leaving the city. I was born here. This is a city I love, and it's not the city
00:58that I love anymore.
01:00And I believe with all my heart that you are the answer.
01:04Well, thank you.
01:05You are the affordable campaign candidate. And I think more than anything, people are just really struggling,
01:13and they need their utilities to be lower, and they don't want to have to pay to have congestion,
01:21and the driving. And it's just too expensive to live in New York City. And I love the fact that
01:28that is the top of your mind.
01:32We have to cut taxes, cut utility expenses, and create good jobs so our young people will stay here.
01:38Jobs that pay good wages, good benefits, and create economic activity and prosperity.
01:46That's important, because we have to bring our state back. As you said, we used to be the Empire State,
01:51and we can do it again. And I want you to love New York again.
01:54I do too.
01:55God bless you. Thank you.
