00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Boston's bulldozer never sleeps. The Kooner Report weekend edition on

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: the Voice of Boston WRKO.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: Okay, little late, but I'm getting to her now, Doctor

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 2: Grace putting liberals in their place, Grace Votto, and I

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: just got to say this my better half. Full disclosure. Yes,

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: I definitely married up Grace. As you can tell, Coonerman

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: is on fire. This morning my city was under siege.

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: Police officers whom I love were beaten, pepper sprayed. Some

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: of them were literally sent to the hospital with broken bones.

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Traffic was blocked for hours. People couldn't get to see

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: loved ones in the hospital. Ambulances said they had to

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: divert themselves, and people could have gotten killed. We now

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: have pro humas antisemitic jew hating brown shirts rampaging in

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: downtown Boston, and the freaking mayor and the freaking governor

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: and the media are silent your reaction.

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: This is a democratic strategy. You know, you've asked the

17
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: question again and again who is to blame. It is

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, It is the Democratic leaders. This is

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: a strategy ultimately to try to turn the public against

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: President Trump. What they're trying to do is they're sending

21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: agitators in various places, whether it's Portland, Chicago, Boston, just

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: get on the news, torch things, cause violence, and then

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: let's present an image that this is Trump's America. And

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: ultimately it's all Trump's fault because he's the divisive figure.

25
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: So this is a political strategy that is orchestrated right

26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: here from the Democratic Party. They are now the party

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: of violence because guess what, They've got nothing else. There

28
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: is no other issue that they can there is no

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: issue that they can campaign on that the public trusts them.

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: So the only thing they have is to try to

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: destroy Trump's presidency. They used lawing before and it didn't work,

32
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: and this is the last gambit that they have to

33
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: try to create the illusion that the public is against

34
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: his deportation policy, that the public is against his policy

35
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: in Israel, when that's really not the case. So you

36
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: ask the question who's to blame? It is the Democratic Party,

37
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: and then the media just does the bidding of the party.

38
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: That's all grace. You're an historian like I am. You

39
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: love the nineteenth century more than I do. I'm more

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: of a twentieth century historian. That's fine, different, you know,

41
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: you know, the different folks can like different stuff for

42
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: different folks. But you know something about the nineteen thirties

43
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: because of my for that period. As you know, I

44
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: have my library is full of books on the nineteen

45
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: thirties and the nineteen forties. When you hear young men,

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: some young women too, thirteen were arrested, eight men, five women,

47
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three years old, chanting

48
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: death to the Jews, Death to the Jews. From the

49
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: river to the sea, Palestine shall be free. The only

50
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: good Jew is a dead Jew. When you hear this

51
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: not in Hitler's Germany, not in Munich or Berlin or Frankfurt,

52
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: but in twenty twenty five Boston, Boston, in twenty twenty five,

53
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: many of them coming from Harvard and Mit, supposedly some

54
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: of the most elite universities in the world. What is

55
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: happening to our culture? What is happening to our children?

56
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: Did you ever think you would live to see the day?

57
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Well, Jeff, two things here. I want to just say

58
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: what we saw here in Boston. These were attempts to

59
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: lure police officers and harm police officers in particular. So

60
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: this had very little to do with actually trying to

61
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: launch a legitimate protest. They wanted to harm our police

62
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: officers and as you heard, police leaders are saying, we

63
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: were outnumbered and we are understaffed. And again this is

64
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: a democratic problem. I lay that at their feet. It

65
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: is they who have vilified police officers now for over

66
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: a decade. And so you have young people who think

67
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: that all in all, authority is inherently racist and evil.

68
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: And what you're seeing amongst the youth is a complete

69
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: disregard and disrespect for our public authority figures like police officers.

70
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: So that again is the democratic's fault and it's part

71
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: of their strategy to as I said, create chaos. Now

72
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: when you talk about this anti semitism, yes, it's gotten

73
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: worse because the anti Semitism is now fed in the universities.

74
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: We saw it rising when I was in a student

75
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: in the nineties. I saw it rising even in the

76
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: universities in Canada with more and more programs which took

77
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: the side of the Palestinians, etc. And we saw the

78
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: hatred of the Jews being like legitimately taught given an

79
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: ideological framework quote unquote, a legitimate you know, quote unquote,

80
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: they tried to make it legitimate. They tried to make

81
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: hatred of the Jews sound legitimate. And that's what you're

82
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: seeing in the universities. And it's not like we're you know,

83
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: they're emerging, these great Arab scholars. Okay, let's give you

84
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: the reasons why Palestine deserves its state. We're not seeing that.

85
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 1: We're just seeing the spreading of hate cloaked with a

86
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: a veneer of an ideology that is coming out of

87
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: the universities.

88
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: Grace, we literally have one minute. Why. I understand that

89
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: it's a lot of it is academia that's driving this,

90
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: but why the Jews? In other words, if they were

91
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: shouting death to all blacks, or what do we want

92
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: dead Blacks? When do we want it now? Or dead

93
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: Latinos or dead Asians or whatever, dead gaze or take

94
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: your pick, they would be absolute universal condemnation. But when

95
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: they say, what do we want dead Jews? When do

96
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: we want it now? Nothing? Nothing? Why listen?

97
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: There's bits and spurts of condemnation from the Democrats, but

98
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: over and over again they're coddling violence. Look what happened.

99
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: They killed Charlie Kirk right there was Oh, we're going

100
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: to change the culture we're going to lower the rhetoric.

101
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: I said, no, it's going to get worse before it

102
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: gets any better. They're not serious about it. They're attacking Ice,

103
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: they're spreading hatred against Ice, and they're being coddled by

104
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats. So it's not just that the young are

105
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: being encouraged to hate the Jews. They're being encouraged to

106
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: hate various groups on the right or various individuals on

107
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: the right to create chaos at home. And I think

108
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: that's the larger point. This is a deliberate democratic strategy.

109
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Grace, you hit the nail right on the head, doctor Grace,

110
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: putting liberals in their place, Grace Vuoto, Grace as always

111
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: dynamite stuff. We'll see you again the same time next week.

112
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Here on the Kuner Report, Jeff doesn't get a day off.

113
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,000
