The Erin Molan Show - Mamdani Says He WILL Attend 911 Memorial Bruce Blakeman: TURN YOUR BACKS

Bruce Blakeman, the Republican candidate for Governor of New York and Nassau County Executive, joins Erin Molan as the growing battle over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s planned appearance at the 25th anniversary 9/11 memorial takes a deeply personal turn. Blakeman is himself a 9/11 family member. His nephew Tommy — a volunteer firefighter, Army medic and New York State Court Officer — was killed while helping evacuate the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. With families calling on Mamdani not to attend the Ground Zero ceremony, Blakeman tells Erin what he believes they should do if the New York City mayor shows up anyway: “Turn our back to him.” But this conversation goes far beyond one extraordinary moment. Blakeman lays out his case against Gov. Kathy Hochul, explains why he believes New York is ready to elect a Republican governor, discusses crime, taxes, soaring utility costs and antisemitism, and reveals why he believes the political rise of Zohran Mamdani could create the “perfect storm” that finally flips New York. He also discusses his friendship with President Donald Trump, Trump’s endorsement of his campaign and what he says to New Yorkers who may dislike Trump but are considering voting Republican in 2026.
