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

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: weekend edition WRKO, the Voice of Boston.

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: Republicans nowvo Watergate style hearings, and for the first time,

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: it looks like they mean it. Good morning, Cooner. Contrary. Okay,

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: President Trump now has completed his meeting with Xi Jinping.

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: It appears from the preliminary news that is now coming

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: out of South Korea, Trump is by the way on

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: his way back home. She is on his way back

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 2: to Beijing, that they have signed some kind of a

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: trade deal. It looks like a one year deal with

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: the possibility of extensions. So we're going to get more

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: news throughout the afternoon, obviously throughout the morning and throughout

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: the afternoon. But it looks like his trip was a

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: smashing success. We will get all the details as the

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: day progresses. But while this is happening abroad, at home,

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: there is fire and fury now among many congressional Republicans,

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: the likes of which I haven't seen literally in decades.

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: And so there are two massive scandals colliding at once.

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Let me take the one of them first. Apparently now

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: it has been revealed through FBI disclosures, Cash PTEL in particular,

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: along with Tulci Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, have

22
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: now released information about Jack Smith, Special Council under Biden,

23
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: who launched what was called ARCT Investigation Arctic Frost. This

24
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: was an investigation signed off by then Biden Attorney General

25
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: Merrick go Darland, signed off by Christopher Wray, Biden's FBI director,

26
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: and obviously with the full knowledge and support of Joey.

27
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: The Biden DOJ launched an investigation into Trump over what

28
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: happened on January sixth, and in particular his attempts to

29
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: have alternate slate of electors from Pennsylvania, from Michigan, from Georgia,

30
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: from Wisconsin, those contested states to be sent back to

31
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: those states in case they decided that the election was

32
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: stolen and there should be another slate of electors sent

33
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: They wanted to now claim that Trump sought to overturn

34
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the election and that he was ultimately responsible for January sixth,

35
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: So it was part of their law fair against President Trump.

36
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: They wanted him behind bars for five hundred years, and

37
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: they thought January six was the way to do it. Now,

38
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: what has found what has now come out is that

39
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: rather than just investigate January six. Essentially, now Biden, Garland

40
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: and Biden so called politbureau, his inner circle decided on

41
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: a high risk strategy, highly illegal, clearly unethical, but it

42
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: is also criminal to deliver a kill shot not just

43
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: the Trump but to the entire Republican Party apparatus. As

44
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Senator Chuck Grassley put it, they went, they put together

45
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: a political enemies list, and they said, let's use the

46
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: fig leaf of January six to launch investigation after investigation

47
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: into leading Republican senators without their knowledge, Republican members of

48
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: Congress without their knowledge. Former Key Trump aides like Steven

49
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: Miller and Dance Coveno and I could go on and

50
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: on without their knowledge. Leading Republican conservative organizations like the

51
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: late Charlie Kirks, turning Point USA without their knowledge on

52
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: a massive fishing expedition to see if they could turn

53
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: up any kind of crime possible so that they could

54
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: indict and imprison and jail all of them, all of them.

55
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: In other words, they concocted a political enemies list. And

56
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: what they did under Operation Arctic Frost, and let's just

57
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: take the most explosive, they were secretly surveilling nine Republican senators.

58
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: It now peers, it could be as high as twenty

59
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Republican senators. And now it has been found out through

60
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: these disclosures. Listen now to this that Judge Boseberg, remember him,

61
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: the district judge, the chief district judge, who issued those

62
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: nationwide injunctions against Trump, this radical leftist preventing him from

63
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: deporting trender Aragua or MS thirteen gangbangers to El Salvador.

64
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: While Dad Bosberg apparently gave Jack Smith a blank check,

65
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: a court order telling him that he could now secretly

66
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: get the phone records and the phone metadata of Ted Cruz,

67
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: Marshall Blackburn, Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham, Senator Eric Schmidt, Senator

68
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: after senator after senator, all of them Republicans. And what

69
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: is even more egregious, not only was he going through

70
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: their phone records behind their backs, on no basis whatsoever,

71
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: none except to see did they have anything to do

72
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: with January six?

73
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Hmmm?

74
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: Who are they calling? Is that a mistress? Is that

75
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: a lover? Who is this? As they were cambing through

76
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: the phone records, the order then told, for example, Ted

77
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: Cruz's phone carrier is AT and t AT and T

78
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: kept saying, but you're violating Senator Ted Cruz's privacy. You're

79
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: going through his phone records behind his back, unbeknownst to him.

80
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: You're going through all of his phone data, his metadata,

81
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: who is calling, who's not calling, how long has he

82
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: been talking to that person, what day, what time, all

83
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: of it behind his back, which is illegal and in

84
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: violation of his privacy. We have an obligation under the

85
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: law to tell Ted Cruz we had to hand over

86
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: your phone records to Jack Smith and to the DJ

87
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: into the Biden Special Counsel. UH. You know Smith. Boseberg

88
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: in his order told A T and T, you will

89
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: not tell Ted Cruz that you you're you're that that

90
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: you have to hand over his phone records. You will

91
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: not tell Ted Cruz that Jack Smith is secretly surveilling

92
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: him and going through all of his phone data and

93
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: looking at who he's calling and who he's not calling.

94
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: And the same thing for Grassley, the same thing for Blackburn,

95
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: the same thing for Senator Lindsey Graham, the same thing

96
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: for UH, Senator Eric Schmidt, Senator after senator after senator.

97
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: They were being secretly surveilled, and this massive abuse of

98
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: power because they were hoping to find any kind of

99
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: crime possible in order to destroy all of these senators,

100
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: the leadership of the Republican Party, conservative organizations, in other words,

101
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: to guarantee that the Democrats win the election in twenty

102
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: twenty four. Don't just take out Trump, take out almost

103
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: all of his key supporters, both in Congress and institutionally

104
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: and organizationally. Now, as Chuck Grassley said yesterday at a

105
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: highly emotional, very angry press conference, because now you've got

106
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: senator saying, whoa woe use the Biden regime, through Jack Smith,

107
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: through Arctic Frost, you spied on a behind our back.

108
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: You wanted to see our conversations and who we were

109
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: talking to behind our back. And then you use this

110
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: radical left wing judge to give a ridiculous court order

111
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: saying that our phone carriers couldn't even tell us that

112
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: they had to hand over all of our phone records

113
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: and phone data. And they were told that we had

114
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: no way of knowing this, and that we shouldn't know this,

115
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: that our own government is spying on us. Because Boseberg

116
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: argued that Ted Cruz would destroy evidence, that Blackburn would

117
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: destroy evidence, that Grassly would destroy evidence, that Senator Graham

118
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: would destroy evidence, that Senator Schmid would destroy evidence with

119
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: zero evidence, by the way, whatsoever that they were going

120
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: to do any of this. If this was done to

121
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: the Democrats, there would be hell to pay. As Grassley said,

122
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: it would be Watergate style hearings. The Attorney General would

123
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: be risking going to jail. The FBI director would be

124
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: risking going to jail. The special counsel who went after

125
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: this and and and and and and and and engage

126
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: in this kind of illegal criminal activity would be immediately

127
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: disbarred and go to jail. And so now Republicans are

128
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: demanding Watergate style hearings. They want to put Merrick Garland

129
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: under oath. They want to put Christopher Wray under oath.

130
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 2: They want to put Jack Smith under oath. They want

131
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: to put Lisa Monaco under oath. In other words, they

132
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: want to put all of them under oath. And President

133
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Trump from Asia said, enough is enough. Pam Bondy now

134
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: needs to launch a massive criminal investigation. There now needs

135
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: to be a massive investigation in Congress. People need to

136
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: go to jail. I've never seen Republicans this angry in

137
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: my entire life. You know why, because this time, the

138
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: target was them, so maybe they'll finally do something.

139
