1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna have Mike Kanely, Republican candidate for Massachusetts governor, 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: on in about ten minutes at nine point thirty. You 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: don't want to miss it. But first, the Supreme Court 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: now says Trump's tariffs are illegal. Historic ruling a repudiation 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: of Trump's tariffs. This took place Friday morning. Trump obviously livid. 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: My question to you agree disagree? And did Trump cross 7 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: the line when he began to denounce certain justices as 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: essentially committing economic treason, being under the influence of foreign interests, 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: and saying that they should be utterly ashamed of themselves. 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight 11 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: is the number DAN in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding. 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: Dan, and welcome, Jeff. 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to start right in. I think Trump had 14 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: every reason to say what he said. They are treasonists, 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 3: they're insurrectionists. 16 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: Of a form. 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 3: They also in this particular country, we're actually in a 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 3: state of emergency. You described a state of emergency because 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: let's face it, if Trump does not win these mid terms, 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: they're going to hang him, and they're going to hang 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 3: all of us. And what are we trying to do 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: with the people that are trying to straighten out this country, 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: put it back on its feet, not ship out all 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 3: of our production. We're trying to do and make America 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: great again. We've got globalists in charge. The globalist has 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: basically run us into debt with thirty eight trillion in 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: the hole, and they want to put us even deeper. 28 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: We can barely pay our bills. If it weren't for 29 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: Trump and what he has accomplished and what he's done, 30 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: or God forbid, if Kamala and Waltz would have gone 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: in there, we've probably already would have been destroyed. It 32 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: wouldn't be a situation that we're in today. I can 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: guarantee you that Trump is in a state of emergency. 34 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: We all are. 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: There is an insurrection going on, and it's within our 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 3: country itself. We've got politicians, media enforces at large that 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 3: don't want America great again, and they are going to 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: do everything they can possibly do to basically take us down, 39 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: cause a financial collapse. After they've cut and burned us down, 40 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: then we can come back exactly the way that they 41 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: want us to come back, and that's with no liberties, 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: no freedom, constitution out the door and basically, we'll be 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: the lapdogs, will be socialist communists and whatever they want 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: us to be. They were so close of getting this 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: they could taste it, taste it, and because they tasted it, 46 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: they don't have no morals, no scruples, no nothing. I mean, 47 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: I'm telling you gets right down to assassinations, you know, threats. 48 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: I mean, when you look at this, we have had fraud. 49 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: Look at what Doge did finding all of the debts 50 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 3: and all of the fraud and everything going on, how 51 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: the government mismanaged the money. The states, the Democratic States 52 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: are doing the same damn thing. Do you think that 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: they want to give any of that up. No, they don't. 54 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: They want to go right back to it. And if 55 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: they can financially ruin US and put us, you know, 56 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: into dire straits, then they can have control over us, Jeff. 57 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: And that's where it's heading. And we are in a 58 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: state of emergency and Trump should basically, I hate to 59 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: say this, but you know they're insurrectionists and he should 60 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: pull out all stoffs right now. 61 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: I agree. No, it's look, it's when the Supreme Court 62 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: ruled the way they did on Friday in such a 63 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: blatantly anti American anti worker and pro globalist direction. I said, 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they're popping champagne corks. You've given 65 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: the globalists now one of their biggest victories in years, 66 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: in years, and that's when I realized, I go, the 67 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: gloves are now off. The gloves are now off. It's 68 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: all out political warfare. And that's why I hope Trump 69 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: uses every tool in the toolbox. I mean, now it's look, 70 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: we have to win the midterms. We have to hold 71 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: off the Democrats and keep building on this America First movement. 72 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: But let's not kid ourselves. I don't trust Justice Roberts, 73 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't trust Amy Coney Barrett anymore, and Neil Gorsich. 74 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm willing to give him one pass. But if he 75 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: rules something like this again on another issue, the Supreme 76 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: Court has been compromised. Yeah, people may disagree with me, 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: but I believe now we are looking at a compromise 78 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Thank you so much for that call. As always, 79 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: then Tom in Framingham, thanks for holding Tom, and welcome. 80 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 5: Jeff. Good morning on a great show. Again. I just 81 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 5: wanted to say, if Trump has to go to Congress, 82 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 5: he technically can use reconciliation. In other words, he does 83 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 5: not need a supermajority in the Senate to vote with him. 84 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 5: The problem is a lot of whether or not you 85 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: can use reconciliation, and how it's used is determined by 86 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 5: the Senate parliamentarian. I've stated my problems with that, the 87 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 5: fact that the Senate parliamentarian is this woman who was 88 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 5: appointed by Harry Reid years ago, and it's the purview 89 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 5: of the Senate majority leader to appoint the Senate parliamentarian. 90 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 5: And of course neither Mitchie or this stiff soon the 91 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 5: doctor replace her at the beginning of the term, So 92 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: this might be kind of dicey. The other thing is 93 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 5: whether he can even get the votes in Congress. As 94 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 5: you know, six Republicans defected and voted against him for 95 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 5: the Canadian tariffs in the House and then the Senate. 96 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 5: In the Senate, I don't trust any of those people. 97 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: Well, look, you know, Tom, Look, because we're up against it. 98 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: Normally I would hold you over, but we've got Mike 99 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: Kneely on so I can't. But just to sum it up, look, 100 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: you're dead on too much foreign influence in Congress. You 101 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: have too many members of Congress Democrat and Republican who 102 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: are bought and paid for, whether they're bought and paid 103 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: for by China, whether they're bought and paid for by 104 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: the Europeans, whether they're bought and paid for by the Canadians. 105 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter. Six one seven two six, six 106 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. 107 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: Okay. 108 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: Joining me now is Mike Kaneely. He is a candidate 109 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Republican candidate for governor uh He wants to challenge Mora 110 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Heely in November should he win the Republican primary. Mister Kanneely, 111 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on the Kooner Report. 112 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: Hey, Jeff, you call me Mike by the way. 113 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Okay, Mike, Mike. We've only got about ten minutes, so 114 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: I want to get right to it. I want to 115 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: ask you straight out. There are three men vying for 116 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: the Republican nomination, you, Brian short Sleeve, and Mike Minogue 117 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: to the vast audience of Kooner Country, most of whom 118 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: will be voting in the primary. Why you and not them? 119 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: What makes you uniquely qualified to get their vote to 120 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: challenge Mari Heally in November? 121 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: Well, Jeff, I love this question. Look, we got three 122 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: candidates in the race. We all have a background and 123 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: experience in business. Okay, we all have nearly identical views 124 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: on the issues, which are very different than Moreheey's. The 125 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: differentiation Chef is in two respects. One is experience and 126 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: track record, because in addition to my nineteen years experience 127 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: building companies and creating jobs all over the country, I 128 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: have been in public service in Massachusetts for a dozen 129 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: years delivering real results of the people on pro growth 130 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: economic policies, on real lasting government reform, on real progress 131 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: and education. That's a differentiator. And we cannot nominate someone 132 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: who's going to need a lot of on the job training. 133 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: And I keep telling Republican voters, look, at some point 134 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: there'll be two people running for governor. One is Moriheely 135 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 2: as bad as she is, She's run for in one 136 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: statewide office three times, and we're gonna have one Republican. 137 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: And we got to go commence the voters ny two 138 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: percent of who are not Republican, to fire more Heally 139 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: and hire them. You can't do that unless you have 140 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: a track record, and my track re good, Jeff, by 141 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: the way, is the track record to that any Republican 142 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: will be proud of. It's two years turning around the 143 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: worst performing school district in Massachusetts and Lawrence, when we 144 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: did things like slash the bureaucracy by forty percent, put 145 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: parents back in charge of the kids' education, and helped 146 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: increase their graduation rate from fifty two percent to seventy 147 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: two percent. That's real progress, real innovation, real results. My 148 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: record is Economic Development Secretary was helping to create helping 149 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: the state create two hundred thirty thousand private sector jobs. 150 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: So I can go on on about that, but that 151 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: is the differentiation. First of all, was experience and track 152 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: record of delivering for the people and being able to 153 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: commence the voters, particularly independent voters, that this Republican's ready 154 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: to do the job day one. I guess the second area, Jeff, 155 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: is around loyalty and allegiance to the Republican Party in Massachusetts, 156 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: to the Republican cause, and so I raised over the 157 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: last years two million dollars for the party. I personally 158 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: supported twenty two candidates in twenty twenty four thirty one 159 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: last year. I'm a top five donor to the auditors 160 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: ballot question both last time and this time around, nobody's 161 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 2: done more for the Republican Party. It's candidates and its 162 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: causes than I have. And I'm running against two individuals 163 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: that are both major Democratic donors, one of whom said 164 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: in an interview doesn't really identify with being a Republican, 165 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: one who on registered for the party on the eve 166 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's inauguration, Who's a major donor to people 167 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: like Andrea Campbell in the environment of League of Massachusetts. 168 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: So I think in terms of loyalty to the Republican 169 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: cause and demonstrated experience and track record, those are two 170 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: ears that I really stand out versus the other guys. 171 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Mike, the question my audience is asking me to ask 172 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: you is where do you stand on President Donald Trump? 173 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: Did you vote for him in twenty sixteen, did you 174 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: vote for him in twenty twenty, did you vote for 175 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: him in twenty two, twenty four? 176 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, I've been clear and honest about this. I 177 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: stand with the President on what he's done in terms 178 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: of closing the border, reducing taxes, having a strong foreign policy, 179 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: having energy dominance. As folks know, I blank my ballot 180 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: those three cycles. I certainly was not going to vote 181 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: for the Democrat. But what's important now this race for 182 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: governor is where do I stand on the issues, and 183 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: I tell people I expect to be the nominee of 184 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: the party. In that case, the voters have a choice 185 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: between a Republican nominee that respects what the President's done 186 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: on those issues, that wants to work with him to 187 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: get things done on behalf of the people of Massachusetts 188 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: versus an incumbent Democratic governor that built a reputation suing 189 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Those are very very different considerations. So I 190 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 2: like what the president if. 191 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: I can just nail you down on this. So you're 192 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: saying you didn't vote for Trump. Three times in a row, 193 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: you said you blank the ballot, which means you didn't 194 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: vote for the Democrat. But you're saying, so you didn't 195 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: vote Trump against Hillary, or against Biden or against Kamala. Correct. 196 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: I've been honest about Jeffson. Is the first day of 197 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: the campaign. 198 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: Why, I'm just curious, why what was it about Trump 199 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: that you just couldn't vote for him? 200 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: I Jeff, you know, I don't think leaders go back 201 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: in time and try to be visit past decisions. I'm 202 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: telling you right now, the election I'm focused on is 203 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and I think the more time we 204 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: spend on this the less time we've spent focused on 205 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: the destructive chaos and incompetence of the Healy administration. So 206 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: I moved on. I'm focused on twenty twenty six. I 207 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: respect what the President's done and the issues I've talked about. 208 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: I will work with him in particularly. You know, we 209 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: should talk about immigration, Okay, because because Governor Healy will 210 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: blast what Ice is doing, but has made no attempt 211 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: to work with the President and work with Ice, they 212 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: get dangerous criminals off our streets and out of our 213 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: shelters and out of our state. It's a very different approach. 214 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: And so I will work with the president. Governor Healey 215 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 2: will not. And the only election I'm focused on right now, Jeff, 216 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: is twenty twenty six. We have got to get more 217 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 2: Heey out of office. It is I cannot believe what 218 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: I'm looking at day to day, week to week to 219 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: week year in Massachusetts, where they respect the immigration, taxes, spending, 220 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 2: not standing up to the people who respected the audit 221 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: of the legislature, a destructive climate agenda which drives up 222 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: our cost. I can go on and on and on, 223 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: but that is where I'm focused now. Twenty twenty six 224 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: getting Governor Heey out of office, and I'm the one 225 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: Republican in the field that can do it. 226 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Will you end the sanctuary policies of Mora Heally and 227 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: will you demand that Michelle Wu cooperate with ICE if 228 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: they come in to arrest illegal aliens? 229 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: Yes? And yes. I mean, look, Jeff, we are a 230 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: sanctuary state. And you know, you go back in time 231 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: what Murray Heey said about this. She said years ago, 232 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: she's proud of her sanctuary status. She said two years ago, 233 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: she's not sure what sanctuary means. She said last year. 234 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: We're not a sanctuary state. I mean, first and foremost 235 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 2: leaders have got to speak clearly, and I would say, 236 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: in no uncertain terms, we are not, we cannot be 237 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: a sanctuary state, and we have to end the sanctuary 238 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: policies and make us such, and we have to demand 239 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 2: that our local leaders do not have sanctuary policies. Look this, Jeff. 240 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: The way I look at every single issue is what 241 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: is best for the people of Massachusetts. That's that anybody 242 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: who wants to be the chief executive of the state 243 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: has to do what is best for the people. This 244 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: is a public safety issue. We have dangerous criminals in 245 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: our midst and we have ICE that wants to work 246 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: with local and state law enforcement to get them out 247 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: of Massachusetts. How can that not be best for the 248 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: state and for the people. So that's where my focus is. 249 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: And I you know, by the way, on the whole 250 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: issue about the crisis, and you know four billion dollars 251 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: spent on this. I warned Governor Heally about this. We 252 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: had a meeting when I was the outgoing Housing an 253 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: Economic Development secretary. She was coming in. I said, look, 254 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: you're going to have a crisis here because President Biden 255 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: is opened the border and we have people coming in here, 256 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: and we're the only one of the fifty states that's 257 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: right to shelter and that guarantees thousands of people will 258 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: come here and create may and chaos. And that's what's happened. 259 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: And she didn't heed the warning, and she badly mismanaged, 260 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: and she's not doing the things that have to get 261 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: done out to make us safe. And that just I 262 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: am Jeff. I get angry about it. I mean, I 263 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: love the state and I cannot believe what's happening under 264 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: Governor Hilly's leadership. 265 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: We are talking with Mike kanely Republican candidate for governor. Mike, 266 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: we've got about two minutes left. Lowering electricity costs, lowering 267 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: energy costs, you get elected, how will you reduce those 268 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: massive costs? 269 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, but the result of the lack 270 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: of the massive costs are two things. One is a 271 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: lack of energy supply. Okay, and the governor is famously 272 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: bragged about shutting down natural gas pipelines. How would get 273 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: those pipelines built? We need more supply of natural gas 274 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: and other forms of energy in our state. Secondly, get 275 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: what I call the green gimmicks off our utility bills. 276 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: I mean, she is running a climate agenda through our 277 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: utility bills. It is madness. It's not an energy policy, 278 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: it's a climate agenda. So get all those charges off 279 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: of our bills. If we accomplish those two things type seconds, 280 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: then will have much cheaper energy. 281 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Mike, Okay, Before I let you go, where can people 282 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: go to find out more about where you stand on 283 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: the issues or if they want to donate to your campaign? 284 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Great questions, Jeff, go to Mike Kneeley dot com. It's 285 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: got a lot of information about my background, My treker. 286 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: You're both in business and meaningfully here in public service 287 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: in Massachusetts and my stance on the issues. I will 288 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: end sanctuary policies. I will demand the audit of the legislature. 289 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: I will cut taxes and spending. I will stop the 290 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 2: mandates and threats and lawsuits against our cities and towns 291 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: and start funding them again. I'll end the climate madness. 292 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: I'll get this economy moving, and I'll demand a better 293 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: education for our kids. 294 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Mike Kanneely dot com k E N N E A 295 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: L Y Mike Kanneely dot com, Mike, thank you, thank 296 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: you so much for coming on the Kooner Report. I 297 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Okay, let me ask all of you. Is 298 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: it a deal breaker for you? Many of you obviously 299 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: who listened to the show in Massachusetts, most of you 300 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: are primary voters. You're going to vote in the Republican primary. 301 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: The fact that Mike Kaneely, as he said on this interview, 302 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: didn't vote for Trump twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, or twenty 303 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: twenty four, and when I asked him why, basically said 304 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk about it. He wants to focus 305 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: on this election and not previous elections. Did that cost 306 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: him your vote? Or do you not care or do 307 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: you think maybe it's going to help him as a 308 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of a Baker Republican somebody who didn't vote for Trump. 309 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: Will that help him with some voters in Massachusetts because 310 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: you know how much the Democrats despise Trump. Curious is 311 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: it a deal breaker for you that Kanneely has never 312 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: voted for Trump and is obviously not a Trump supporter 313 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. 314 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: Eric in Plymouth, Thanks for holding, Eric, and welcome. 315 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 6: Yes, teaching an Affidavid on these five things.

One of the things I wanted to 329 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: ask him didn't get a chance, but I will definitely 330 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: the second time is do you support Trump pulling federal 331 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: funding if Healey and Wu continue to make Trump as 332 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: to make Massachusetts a sanctuary state, if they refuse to 333 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: cooperate with Ice, or to your point about the state audit. 334 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: You know, he says he supports the state audit, which 335 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: is great, but the fact that Beacon Hill is refusing 336 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: to cooperate, there's stonewalling. And now Andrea Campbell, the literally, 337 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm not you can't make this up, is going to 338 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: court to defend Beacon Hill against State Auditor Diana Dizaglio. 339 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: So our own state attorney general is now trying to 340 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: cover up the corruption on Beacon Hill. She's going against 341 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: the voters by who passed by over seventy two percent 342 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: the ballot initiative calling for a full state audit. So 343 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, the question I want to ask is, do 344 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: you support President Trump pulling all federal funding until this 345 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: until the state audit is done. Don't tell me what 346 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: you're going to do after you're supposedly elected. What should 347 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: President Trump do now and then I think you're really 348 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: going to start to see who's for real and who's not. 349 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: And so that's another question I wanted to ask, but 350 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: I probably will get to that the next time, because look, 351 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: there's no question what the state audit is going to 352 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: reveal is how many people, how many businesses, how many 353 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: political hacks benefit from the corruption in this state, and 354 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: the billions and billions and billions that Healy has given 355 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: out to illegal aliens. That it's a massive scam and 356 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: a massive fraud, you know, equivalent to what we're seeing 357 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
