Speaker 1: Boston's Bulldozer operate seven days a week. The Kooner Report

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Weekend edition WRKO, the Voice of Boston.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Good Morning, Cooner contrary. Okay, my friends yesterday now may

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: see the end. We'll see you in the next couple

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: of days. The crisis in Minneapolis could now be over.

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: But it's all contingent upon a deal. And what I

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: want to do is I want to lay out the

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: basic terms of the deal, and then I want to

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: get your reaction, the great audience of Kooner Country, whether

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: you agree or disagree. So I want to take calls.

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: In fact, if I have calls, I'm taking them right

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: after the end of this monologue. Six one seven two

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: six six sixty eight sixty eight. And the question is

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: deal or no deal. So Tom Homan, borders are President

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: Trump's White House. Borders are went down to Minneapolis. He

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: is now in Greg Bovino is out customs in border protection.

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Already considerable customs and Border patrol agents have been withdrawn

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: pulled out of Minneapolis. However, there are still thousands of

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: ICE agents there in Minneapolis. In what started as a

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: massive surge campaign. This began in December in order to

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: target not just criminal illegal aliens, but to go after

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: the so called Somali pirates, those fraudsters, scamsters, those that

23
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: were engaged in some of the most sweeping welfare fraud

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: in the history of the United States, not all, but

25
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: many in the Somali illegal alien community. And so Trump

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: sent in over three thousand ICE Customs in Border Protection

27
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: DHS officials. It has led for the administration into a

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: pr tobaccle, especially in the wake of the two shootings,

29
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: the fatal shootings of Renee Good and the latest obviously

30
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: Alex Pretty and so to de escalate the situation, to

31
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: calm the temperatures, to try to get these anti ICE

32
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: agitators and rioters to get off the streets, and to

33
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: end this confrontation between the governor, the mayor, and the administration.

34
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: Tom Holman now has had a series of meetings. He

35
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: met with Minneapolis boy Wonder Jacob Fry. He then met

36
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: with State Attorney General Keith Ellison and that turned into

37
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: a very important meeting, and I'll get to that in

38
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: a second. And of course he met with Tampon Tim

39
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: Governor Tim Waltz. Yesterday, Holman held a press conference and

40
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: right out of the gate, he said, I told all

41
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 2: three I was not happy with the way ICE and

42
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: Customs in Border Protection conducted themselves before I came on board. Here,

43
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: mistakes were made, and we are going to behave going

44
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: forward in a much more cautious, efficient, and quote unquote

45
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: professional manner. So we started off with basically a semi apology.

46
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: Roll cut ten, Mike.

47
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: I'm not here because the Federal gonmas carritis mission out perfectly.

48
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: First thing I said to senior staff and I walked

49
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: in here. That's what I told you. And then come

50
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: here looking photo opser headlines. I come here looking for solutions.

51
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: I do not want to hear that everything's been done

52
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: here has been perfect. Nothing's ever perfect. Anything and be

53
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: improved on. And what we've been working on is making

54
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: this operation safer, more efficient, by the book.

55
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: By the book more efficient. And so he says the

56
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: way to do this is to strike a deal, and

57
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: he says he did strike a deal. He met with

58
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: the Governor Tim Waltz. He then met, as I said,

59
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: with State Attorney General Keith Ellison, and he said, this

60
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: is the fundamental basic demands coming from President Trump through me,

61
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: his messenger. What we want from you is cooperation regarding

62
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: your jails. You have dangerous convicted illegal aliens in your

63
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: state prisons, in your local and county jails, as well

64
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: as illegal aliens who have been charged with some of

65
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: the most horrific heinous crimes. Hand over all of your

66
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens. Just hand them over to us that

67
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: you have either state prisons or in the especially in

68
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: Hennepin County, which is Minneapolis, in local and county jails.

69
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Because we're getting no access there whatsoever. We're going to

70
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: round them up. It's going to be safe. We're not

71
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: going to have to chase them down on the streets

72
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: because you release them. We're not going to have to

73
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: go through neighborhoods. We're going to pick them up right

74
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: there at the jail, or at the courthouse, or at

75
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: the detention center or wherever it is. And this is

76
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: then much safer a for ICE agents because we're not

77
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: risking our lives chasing them through all these neighborhoods. It's

78
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: safer for those detainees because it'll avoid a possible gun

79
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: battle or altercation, and it's safer for the neighborhood are

80
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: not going to be swarmed and attacked and surrounded by

81
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: these mobs of anti ICE activists and agitators. It's a

82
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: win win win for everybody now, according to Homan, Keith

83
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: Ellison said yes. Tim Waltz said yes. So from this

84
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: point forward, he says that in the jails in the

85
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: prisons state and local prisons, local jails, they will get

86
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: full cooperation from the local authorities so that they will

87
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: hand over these illegal alien criminals to ICE so they

88
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: can then be captured, detained and eventually deported. That and

89
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: several other high profile, worst of the worst illegal aliens

90
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: that are living in Minneapolis, if they can provide some

91
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: assistance on their last known address, say if they're on

92
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: food stamps, where are they collecting these food stamps or

93
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: government benefits? So give us some information to help us

94
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: track them down, and when we track them down, send

95
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: in local police as a security perimeter for us in

96
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: case these mobs show up, these organized anti ICE mobs

97
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: to interfere with and obstruct ICE's operation and so they

98
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: can do the crowd control. We don't want to do

99
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 2: crowd control because crowd control is what led to Alex

100
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: Preddy being killed and Rene Good. Waltz has said, if

101
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: it's temporary, if it's only for a few, the worst

102
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: of the worst. The answer is yes. Now, what's noticeable

103
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: is that Jacob Fry, the crazy Marxist mayor of Minneapolis,

104
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: that whack job, still says yet no, get out of Minneapolis.

105
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: We're not here to cooperate with ICE, whether it's in

106
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: our jails, not in our jails, in the streets, in

107
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: the neighborhoods. And he's instructed the sheriff of Hennepin County

108
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: to not cooperate with ICE. So we're gonna see what's

109
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Because Fry is essentially given Homan and Trump

110
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: the middle finger. However, Walts and Ellison have said we

111
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: have a deal, and so, in essence, as Trump told

112
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: Waltz in a phone conversation, all we want are your criminals,

113
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: the worst of the worst. Give us your criminals, and

114
00:08:53,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: everything else goes away. In other words, over your most

115
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: dangerous criminals, violent illegal aliens in your jails, in your prisons,

116
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: and the few that we're going to track down in

117
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: the community. Help us track them down and help us

118
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: perform our targeted operations. We will pull back all federal

119
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: agents after that. Eventually there will be no ICE agents

120
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: at all in Minneapolis or Minnesota. We move on, you

121
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: move on. That's the agreement. That's the deal. Now let

122
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: me just say this, okay, and then I want to

123
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: open it up right after the commercial break six one

124
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight. On the

125
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: one hand, obviously the president and I understand where he's

126
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: coming from. I do. He doesn't want to see more

127
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: people dead. He wants the rioting to end, He wants

128
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: the organized resistance to come to an end. He wants

129
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: Minneapolis to be a breathing, living city again instead of

130
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: this war zone that it has been transformed into over

131
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: the about the last month or so. So I understand,

132
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: we get the worst of the absolute worst, and then

133
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: they don't pose a threat to the community, and we

134
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: deport him, and if we need to come back, we

135
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: can come back. But this way, the worst of it

136
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: is over and let's move on. So I completely understand

137
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: where Trump is coming from. Let me be brutally honest

138
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: with you, like I'm in the confessional. I believe this

139
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: is a victory for Waltz. I believe it is a

140
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: victory for Keith Ellison, and I believe ultimately it's a

141
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: victory for Jacob Pry because, as I pointed out on X,

142
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: and I know many people were not happy with what

143
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: I said on X, but it's how I feel. I

144
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: did not vote for this. I did not vote for this.

145
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: I voted for all illegal aliens to be deported, period deal,

146
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: no deal.

147
