Speaker 1: Boston's bulldozer never sleeps The Kooner Report weekend edition on

00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: the Voice of Boston WRKO.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: Joining me now, as she always does at this time,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: Doctor Grace putting liberals in their place, Grace Voto speaking

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: of another proud Italian, my wonderful wife, my better half, Grace,

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: you've been listening to the show all morning. I just

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: pray to God they don't bring this direnthum because I'm

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: telling you I'm not putting up with it. So my

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: question to you moonbats. Liberals now say to fight climate

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: change and protect the environment, they have to reduce trash

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: pickup to once every two weeks. What say you?

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: Ay? Absolutely not, absolutely not. This is a terrible idea.

13
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: And let me tell you something. The first thing I

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: would say to every member of the young generation is

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: you're all a bunch of hypocrites, every single one of you.

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: Because for every time you complain about the environment, I

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: want to look at your Amazon cart. How many times

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: have you ordered in a week from Amazon? Because let

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: me tell you, in our house, Jeff, you know how

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: much box, how many boxes pile up in the garage

21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: because everybody's ordering from Amazon, and the number one driver

22
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: of unnecessary packaging that I have to deal with every

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: single week comes from all this shipping from Amazon. And

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: guess what happens after that? If you can't just dump

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: the regular trash at your curb. The next problem that

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: occurs is illegal dumping, and all across Massachusetts now we

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: have an epidemic of illegal dumping, and municipal regulators have

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: to deal with the fact that that causes a tremendousmount

29
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: of pollution. It blocks waterways, pollutes waterways, it harms wildlife,

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: it harms pets. So there's so much hypocrisy in this.

31
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: You know, young people for the most part. You know

32
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 3: how many times I've had conversations with other moms who say, oh,

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: my teens are always ordering from you know, from grubhob

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: and all these door dash all these organizations that bring

35
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: the food to your house. That's a tremendous amount of

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: packaging that wouldn't be necessary if you were just eating

37
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: at that restaurant. So this young generation is driving trash

38
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: costs sky hi and at that moment, they don't care

39
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: about the pollution. And then we have to hear about

40
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: reducing trash collection pickup. So I think we have to

41
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: have a frank conversation about where is all this excess

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: trash coming from?

43
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: Grace. That's a very good point. I didn't even think

44
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: of that. Grace. Medford has aious rat problem. Now other

45
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: areas in mass doing frankly. This is a problem in

46
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: many big urban areas, not just in Massachusetts. New York,

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: for example, is a huge rat problem, so does Chicago. Okay,

48
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: I get it. But now with reducing this trash pickup

49
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: from once to once every once a week, that once

50
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: every two weeks, devermine, the rodent population is going to

51
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: explode and with it comes disease. It's dangerous. You know,

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: they carry, They're all kinds of carriers. Why would this mayor,

53
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: who's obviously a Bernie supporter, she's a hardcore leftist. Why

54
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: would this lunatic want to see trash pile up in

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: our city in front of homes, in front of schools,

56
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: in front of restaurants and literally have rats run wild.

57
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: Is this?

58
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: Are liberals now trying to force us to live in

59
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: third worldlike conditions, to learn to love garbage, to love trash,

60
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: and put up with the stink and the stench and

61
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: the smell.

62
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: What say you, well, Jeff Listen, part of this is

63
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: an ideological disease. You know, the town of Medford won

64
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: an award for the environment leadership. They won Outstanding Community

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 3: from the Northeast Recycling Council. They won an award in

66
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, so they're so proud of themselves. So

67
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: part of it is ideological, and the other part is

68
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: that they actually have a budget shortfall, and many many

69
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: cities and towns have a budget problem, so they're getting

70
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: less revenue from the state and they're also collecting less

71
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: revenue from the public. If you look at the budget

72
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: in Medford, for example, they've had a huge drop in

73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: construction permit activity. I wonder why, Jack, why are bilers,

74
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: you know, getting less permits. It's because they don't want

75
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: to deal with the overregulation in a town like that

76
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: of Medford. So you have tremendous budget shortfalls, and then

77
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: they don't know what to do with that. They cause

78
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: the budget shortfalls by overregulating by zany ideas, ideological ideas,

79
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: not ideas that are just pragmatic and pragmatic and driven

80
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: towards the public good. So they cause a budget shortfall

81
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: and then they have to reduce the services when they

82
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: basically can't make ends meet. So it's twofold, and it's

83
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 3: all comes down to one simple thing, incompetence and lack

84
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: of true regard for each and every citizen's best interest.

85
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: Oh, you nailed it. You nailed it. And look, I

86
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: would add one other, which is, to me, the elephant

87
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: in the room illegal immigration. The reason why is a

88
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: budget shortfall in cities and towns, not just across Massachusetts,

89
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: across all the Northeast, in every blue state. I don't

90
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: care if it's California or again Washington, Illinois, take your pick.

91
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: It's because were inundated with the illegal aliens. And so

92
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: if you got to pay for their housing, free health care,

93
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: free phones, free cable, free education, four thousand dollars a

94
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: month every month in direct cash assistance, there's no money

95
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: left to pick up the trash. There's no money left

96
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: to do anything. That's the problem. And I don't know

97
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: if you heard Vincenzo from Medford, he's completely right. He said,

98
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: By the way, even they raise taxes on us in Medford. Again,

99
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: so there's not enough money as they keep sucking this bleeding,

100
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: this stone white. You can't take blood from a stone

101
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: so they just keep raising taxes, raising taxes because all

102
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: of it is going to the illegals. And that's yes,

103
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: and it's only going to get worse. It's only going

104
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: to get worse. Okay, doctor Grace, I'd be remiss if

105
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: I didn't ask you this. I know it's off topic,

106
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: but everybody has been emailing me saying they want to

107
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: get your take. Trump met with Mom Donnie in the

108
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: Oval Office, and later that day Marjorie Taylor Green announced

109
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: their official resignation. Trump celebrated MTG leaving while celebrating Mom

110
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: Donnie that gihattist Marxist beside him. Something is wrong here.

111
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: What what do you make of his meeting with Mam

112
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Donnie and with him being so celebratory with the resignation

113
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: of Marjorie Taylor Green.

114
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: Go Jeff listen. This was a huge dual mistake on

115
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: the part of President Trump. And contrary to what his

116
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: you know, die hard supporters are saying, this is not

117
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: three D and this is not keep your enemies, you know,

118
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: keep your friends closer and your enemies even closer. Because

119
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green was the best of best friends that

120
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: Maggie could possibly have. So this is alienating your friends,

121
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: trashing your friends, betraying your friends, and elevating our enemies,

122
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: celebrating our enemies, legitimating our enemies. So this is the

123
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: very opposite of that famous expression. I never want to

124
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: hear that expression again. And there is no three D chests,

125
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 3: none that could possibly justify calling Marjorie Taylor Green a trader,

126
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: a trader for trying to get justice for pedophiles who

127
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: have victimized little girls. There's no three D chess explanation

128
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: in that his behavior is simply unacceptable and we have

129
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: to call him out if we want to have him

130
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: govern and at his best self, which we know that

131
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: he is capable of. But we also knew electing him

132
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: that he has some serious character flaw and we as

133
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: MAGA have to work hard to try to steer him,

134
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: redirect him in the right direction so we can get

135
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: the best out of him during this presidency.

136
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: One minute left, Mom, Donnie. Was it a mistake for

137
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: him to praise him the way he did and glorify

138
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: him the way he did, saying he was going to

139
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: be maybe the greatest mayor New York ever had less

140
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: than a minute?

141
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a huge mistake. And what was even

142
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: worse than what he was saying is the image that

143
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: we can all not unsea of Mamdanmie's standing there while

144
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: he's sitting at that desk. That is an image that

145
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: has gone around the world, and it signals to the Muslims,

146
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: Guess what, guys, we can eye that desk, We can

147
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: sit in that desk. Soon. Our time is coming, and

148
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: these idiots are going to open the door for us

149
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: and welcome their very own enemies with a warm embrace

150
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: instead of kicking them out as we should be doing.

151
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: Doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place. Grace Votto Grace.

152
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. You always

153
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: throw an incredible spread. I just want you to know

154
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. The Turkey's incredible, but your lasagna,

155
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 2: I swear to you, is even better.

156
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,679
