00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Boston's Bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kuner Report

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

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Okay, my friends first call me, then Letitia James, and

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: now The Walrus. Former National Security advisor John Bolton was

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: indicted yesterday by a grand jury. The Justice Department now

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: has really when you look at the details of this,

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Bolton's in big trouble. Bolton may be spending the rest

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: of his life in jail. He is seventy six years old.

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: As you know, he is a deep Stater, has been

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: for a long time. He was Trump's National Security advisor

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: in his first term for about eighteen months, and it

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: was clear that he was there to subvert the Trump administration,

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: to undermine and his agenda in favor of a Neo

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Khan establishment globalist deep state effort, to sabotage Trump's efforts

15
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: to get a peace deal with North Korea, to end

16
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: our forever wars, to eventually pull out of Afghanistan with honor,

17
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: Peace with honor. As Trump said repeatedly, what Bolton wanted

18
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: was he wanted to destroy everything Trump was trying to

19
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: do regarding his America First foreign policy from within and

20
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: as I said, on X last night, and again I

21
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: have to repeat it. He used this show in particular

22
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: to do it. As many of you know, we had

23
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Bolton on for years. He was a regular on this

24
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: show every Friday. And my collab operation with Bolton was

25
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: due to the United Nations, where he was a big

26
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: critic of the UN under Bush, which I agreed with.

27
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: He was a staunch opponent of foreign aid, which I

28
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: agreed with. And the biggest one was he was an

29
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: opponent of the International Criminal Court, the ICC, this UN

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: backed court which wanted to use now so called quote

31
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: unquote international law to try American troops, American generals, and

32
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: eventually even American presidents for so called war crimes. In

33
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: other words, it was a globalist, leftist attempt to try

34
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: to destroy our sovereignty and end America as a military superpower,

35
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: and destroy our independence on the world stage, and so

36
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: on those issues. Bo to be fair, was not just good,

37
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: he was excellent, and so that's what initially started him

38
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: coming on the Kuner Report. But what became obvious is

39
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: after Trump won, Bolton wanted access to the administration, and

40
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: of course his foreign policy views were different than President Trump's.

41
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: He was a Bushy John Bolton was much closer to

42
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, that entire globalist,

43
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: neo conservative, warmongering wing warhawk wing of the Republican Party

44
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: that Trump had actually run against and defeated in twenty sixteen.

45
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: And so what he did was he came on this

46
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: show and he began to deceive. He began to reinvent

47
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: himself as a born again MAGA America First Conservative, and

48
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: he sounded like Trump on many issues, and he said

49
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: what he believed Trump wanted to hear and his people

50
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: wanted to hear. But in retrospect, here is clearly what

51
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: he did. He came on my show. He came on

52
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: this show, our show to ingratiate himself with Trump, to

53
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: ingratiate himself with the Trump administration, with MAGA, and eventually

54
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: he was able to get himself into the administration because

55
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: they were hearing him on this show in particular, and said,

56
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: you know what, Bolton's changing, Bolton's evolving, Bolton sounds like

57
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: one of us now, and let's, you know, let's give

58
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: him a shot at National Security Advisor. And so he

59
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: ingratiated himself into the administration. But it wasn't because he

60
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: really wanted to help Trump succeed or help the country succeed. No. No,

61
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: he was there to destroy it, undermine it from within,

62
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: subvert it from within. And he barely lasted eighteen months

63
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: on the job. Trump couldn't believe how again and again

64
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: and again Bolton was constantly blocking him, obstructing him, usually

65
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, leaking against him. And as I said

66
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: on X Yesterday, once he became National Security Advisor in

67
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: Trump's first term, I never heard from the Walrus again ever,

68
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: not an email, not a text message, nothing, not as

69
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: zero zilch, because for him it was mission accomplished. He

70
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: got in and he did as much damage against Trump

71
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: and America first as he could. Now here comes the indictments.

72
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: What he also did was he padded his bank account

73
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: and he wrote a self serving memoir primarily based on

74
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: his time Jose eighteen months in Trump's first term, and

75
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: it was called It was published Forgive Me in twenty twenty,

76
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: the Room where It happened, or where it all happened.

77
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: And there he uses his book in twenty twenty to

78
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: attack Trump, to viscerate Trump, to hopefully defeat Trump in

79
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election when he was running against Joe Biden.

80
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: And so what he did was he set up as

81
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: he was National Security Advisor, he set up what was

82
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: sort of like diary entries of and this is the

83
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: key now, our weapons of mass destruction program, our meetings

84
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: with foreign leaders, highly sensitive, highly classified information regarding war plans,

85
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: regarding information that we have about covert operations happening around

86
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: the world. And then he sent it to two other

87
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: people on a private email server. He used both a

88
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: Google and an Aol email account on a private server

89
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: in which he took classified, in fact highly classified information

90
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: at the highest level and sent it off to two

91
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: other people. Who are these two other people? It turns

92
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: out to be his wife and his daughter. He claimed

93
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: there were two editors for his book. It was his

94
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: wife and his daughter, so that they could hold on

95
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: to this information as he kept amassing it and amassing

96
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: it and amassing it for what would eventually be a memoir.

97
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: Now he was told repeatedly by the Trump administration, you

98
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: do not have permission to use this highly classified information.

99
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: It's classified. It should not be published, It should never

100
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: be published. The Espionage Act is crystal clear on this.

101
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: It is illegal. He did it anyway a federal judge.

102
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: And this is after Bolton had sent out thousands of

103
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: copies of his book to editors, to publishers, to reviewers,

104
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: already early orders. Remember, the left snatched up that book.

105
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 2: It made him a star on the anti Trump left.

106
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: The resistance loved him for it. They hated him because

107
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: he was an architect of the Iraq war. For years

108
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: now they re christened him anti Trumper, and he got

109
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: a gig on this iss CNN. CNN loved him. They

110
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: couldn't get enough of him. But a judge told him,

111
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna order the destruction of the copies of

112
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: these books, but I want you to know you have

113
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: violated national security, you have violated the Espionage Act. You're

114
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: gonna get yourself in big trouble. Bolton didn't care. He

115
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: wanted to publish this book where he made a fortune

116
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions of dollars. So he had

117
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: a personal financial self interest. He wanted to line his

118
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: bank account. But the big reason was he wanted now

119
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: to punch Trump in the nose, to hurt him, to

120
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: damage him, to undermine him. Just before the twenty twenty

121
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: critical election with Joe Biden. Here's his former National Sececurity advisor,

122
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: for God's sake saying, this man is quote not fit

123
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: to be president of the United States, and that's was

124
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: his goal the whole time. It's why he came on

125
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: this show, It's why he wanted to get into the

126
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Trump administration. It's why he kept taking all of these entries,

127
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: all of this information and then sending it on a

128
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: private server, which by the way, is exactly what Hillary

129
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Clinton did. Now here is the kicker, as he puts

130
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 2: all of this highly classified, sensitive information on a private server,

131
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: which is illegal, and then he transmits it to his

132
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: wife and daughter, which is illegal. It turns out that

133
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 2: the Iranians hacked his Aol personal email account, meaning he

134
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: was so irresponsible and so reckless that by doing what

135
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: he did, the Iranians now most likely got access to

136
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: some of our biggest, most classified, sensitive secrets and information.

137
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: John Bolton is a criminal and he deserves to rot

138
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: in prison for the rest of his life.
