WEBVTT - Banned

0:00:00.380 --> 0:00:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Boston's bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kuhner Report

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.100
<v Speaker 1>Weekend Edition. WRKO, the voice of Boston.

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 2>617-266-6868 is the number. Okay, Caitlin Collins from CNN. She's

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.660
<v Speaker 2>one of the people that has been kicked out of

0:00:21.700 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the White House. She's often there or was there at

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:33.020
<v Speaker 2>the White House, taunting Trump, criticizing Trump, mocking Trump. She

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:38.860
<v Speaker 2>was one of the assassins, journalist assassins, who would do

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.580
<v Speaker 2>a daily hit job on the president. Well, she's now

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:48.350
<v Speaker 2>saying that this ban, she's bragging, this ban by the

0:00:48.409 --> 0:00:53.130
<v Speaker 2>legacy media, that no one will be covering the president

0:00:53.229 --> 0:00:57.610
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, and without the legacy media's coverage...

0:00:57.950 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>He will be politically dead in the water, and it

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 2>will cost him and the Republicans dearly in November. So

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:13.149
<v Speaker 2>the media now, this is a deliberate strategy. They believe

0:01:13.209 --> 0:01:16.229
<v Speaker 2>that if they don't cover the president and essentially ban

0:01:16.310 --> 0:01:20.649
<v Speaker 2>any coverage, that no one will see him. No one

0:01:20.670 --> 0:01:23.050
<v Speaker 2>will hear him. No one will be able to know

0:01:23.069 --> 0:01:26.050
<v Speaker 2>what he's actually saying. and that this will give the

0:01:26.110 --> 0:01:30.230
<v Speaker 2>Democrats a massive opening to sweep into power, both in

0:01:30.270 --> 0:01:37.810
<v Speaker 2>the House and in the Senate. Okay, listen. Sorry, texts

0:01:37.860 --> 0:01:40.420
<v Speaker 2>are coming in. I want you to listen to this.

0:01:40.780 --> 0:01:44.820
<v Speaker 2>This is from 603. You can text the Coonerman 70470, 70470. Jeff,

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:57.380
<v Speaker 2>all of these networks, including Fox News, are acting like entitled,

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:05.850
<v Speaker 2>spoiled children. They are simply hastening their demise. Good luck

0:02:06.590 --> 0:02:12.190
<v Speaker 2>and goodbye. Bingo. I think they're overplaying their hand. I

0:02:12.230 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think they realize how marginal and really despised and

0:02:16.940 --> 0:02:21.940
<v Speaker 2>hated that they have become. So anyway, this is from

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:29.310
<v Speaker 2>Larry on Messenger. And Larry makes the point, remember when

0:02:29.710 --> 0:02:36.780
<v Speaker 2>they banned Trump from social media? Every social media outlet,

0:02:36.940 --> 0:02:40.180
<v Speaker 2>they banned him. They banned him. They banned him on

0:02:40.220 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Twitter under the previous regime. They banned him on Facebook.

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>They banned him on Instagram. They banned him on TikTok.

0:02:47.419 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 2>He could not get his message out anywhere. And the

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.150
<v Speaker 2>media cheered it on. And the Democrats cheered it on.

0:02:57.990 --> 0:03:01.609
<v Speaker 2>And so when it came to completely censoring and muzzling him,

0:03:02.370 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>silencing his free speech, no problemo, baby. Well, listen now

0:03:09.580 --> 0:03:15.030
<v Speaker 2>to Larry. Jeff, while it's been bad for the last, say,

0:03:15.030 --> 0:03:20.090
<v Speaker 2>18 years with the rise of Obama, it has been

0:03:20.230 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>much worse over the last six years when the media

0:03:24.740 --> 0:03:31.090
<v Speaker 2>sold their pathetic souls to Big Pharma. And then Larry

0:03:31.130 --> 0:03:33.350
<v Speaker 2>goes on to say, by the way, that is completely true.

0:03:33.910 --> 0:03:37.170
<v Speaker 2>And then Larry goes on to say, Jeff, next thing

0:03:37.210 --> 0:03:40.550
<v Speaker 2>you know, President Trump will ban all legacy media from

0:03:40.610 --> 0:03:45.290
<v Speaker 2>all social media platforms. Oh, wait, they did that to

0:03:45.340 --> 0:03:48.250
<v Speaker 2>a sitting president, i.e.

0:03:48.290 --> 0:03:48.660
<v Speaker 1>Trump.

0:03:49.940 --> 0:03:54.460
<v Speaker 2>Eddie in Charlestown. Thanks for holding, Eddie. And welcome.

0:03:55.900 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Jeff.

0:03:57.100 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Eddie.

0:03:59.890 --> 0:04:02.890
<v Speaker 3>This whole thing is a joke. Let me tell you.

0:04:02.910 --> 0:04:06.190
<v Speaker 3>They have the nerve to say Trump is a dictator.

0:04:06.610 --> 0:04:09.590
<v Speaker 3>They're a dictator because they want to dictate to us

0:04:09.660 --> 0:04:15.700
<v Speaker 3>their propaganda, their lies, their slander. And I have an

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 3>idea for the president. He should grab a bunch of

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.990
<v Speaker 3>his billionaire buddies and then and install a new media

0:04:26.170 --> 0:04:29.810
<v Speaker 3>platform and get rid of the garbage that's there today.

0:04:31.810 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, Eddie, you know, he may end up doing that.

0:04:34.860 --> 0:04:38.540
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what happens when he leaves power with Trump TV.

0:04:39.300 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 2>But look, you've already now, you know, One American News

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.940
<v Speaker 2>is very good. You've got Newsmax now. I know they

0:04:47.980 --> 0:04:50.250
<v Speaker 2>have to work on the quality of their sets and

0:04:50.260 --> 0:04:53.860
<v Speaker 2>their graphics. They really should invest more money into that,

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>make it just look more of a professional first-rate operation.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.380
<v Speaker 2>But the quality of a lot of their reporting, their shows,

0:05:02.980 --> 0:05:07.300
<v Speaker 2>the information they give out is very, very good. And

0:05:07.339 --> 0:05:10.290
<v Speaker 2>then you've got all kinds of other ones now. I mean,

0:05:11.630 --> 0:05:16.730
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of very good independent media outlets. I'll

0:05:16.750 --> 0:05:22.700
<v Speaker 2>just give you an example. Turning Point USA. They are,

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they do some excellent work. You know, you've

0:05:26.420 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 2>got a real America's voice. They're on the ground, and

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:37.559
<v Speaker 2>they're reporting, and their reporting is very accurate and very reliable. So,

0:05:37.779 --> 0:05:40.380
<v Speaker 2>you know, his friends don't need to start something new.

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>You already have very good independent media outlets that are

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.490
<v Speaker 2>doing absolutely phenomenal work. You know, and look, Eddie, people

0:05:50.529 --> 0:05:52.779
<v Speaker 2>are asking me, Jeff, do you have a White House

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>press pass? No, I don't. I'm not claiming my First

0:05:58.020 --> 0:06:02.620
<v Speaker 2>Amendment rights are somehow being violated. Now, let's say the

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Kuna report, you know, let's say we go national, just

0:06:05.420 --> 0:06:07.970
<v Speaker 2>for the sake of argument, okay? We already are because

0:06:07.990 --> 0:06:10.909
<v Speaker 2>we've got massive streaming numbers. So we're heard all over

0:06:10.950 --> 0:06:13.310
<v Speaker 2>the country. But let's say they say, no, no, we're

0:06:13.330 --> 0:06:17.170
<v Speaker 2>going to put you on three, four, five hundred stations. But, Jeff,

0:06:17.330 --> 0:06:22.060
<v Speaker 2>we want you anchored in Washington, D.C., so you can

0:06:22.100 --> 0:06:26.700
<v Speaker 2>do some real reportage on the ground in D.C. Just,

0:06:26.940 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, play along with me. I don't need a

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.230
<v Speaker 2>press pass to the White House to do reporting. Would

0:06:34.270 --> 0:06:35.989
<v Speaker 2>it be nice to have a press pass?

0:06:36.350 --> 0:06:36.710
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:06:37.270 --> 0:06:39.010
<v Speaker 2>Would it make my job a little easier?

0:06:39.510 --> 0:06:39.890
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:06:40.350 --> 0:06:43.130
<v Speaker 2>It's always nice to have access to the press secretary

0:06:43.210 --> 0:06:45.430
<v Speaker 2>and go to the press briefing room and you get

0:06:45.470 --> 0:06:49.830
<v Speaker 2>a sense of what's happening. But no, I can do

0:06:50.010 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal reporting and phenomenal analysis without ever going onto the

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 2>White House grounds. If I want to talk to somebody

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.060
<v Speaker 2>in the White House, you do it by phone. That's

0:07:01.100 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 2>how most reporters do it anyway.

0:07:04.450 --> 0:07:08.210
