1 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 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: the Voice of Boston w RKO. 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: Okay, it's the love fest. Everybody's talking about Trump and 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 2: call me Mom Donnie. Everybody thought it'd be a slugfest. No, no, no, no, 5 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: I mean they were. They were practically blowing kisses at 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: each other. Six one seven two six six sixty eight 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: sixty eight. Okay, Maggie in Amesbury. Thanks for holding Maggie, 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 2: and welcome. 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: Good morning, Jeff. I just wanted to say I'm not 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: surprised at how the meeting went, and I actually admire 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: Trump for meeting with Mom Donnie. I think that, you know, 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: first of all, Trump is, as he says, president of 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: the whole country, and Trump loves New York, so I 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 3: think it makes sense to have met with him. Get 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: you know, now he knows his plan and everything else. 16 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 3: He's probably gave him advice behind closed doors. But now 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: to me, it's kind of a better look because it says, look, 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: I try if this guy goes out there as he will, 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: because you can't trust Mom Domni. But if he goes 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: out there and just blows off what Trump said and 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: does what he wants to do New York will not 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 3: do well. So I think on that aspect Trump. The 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: only concern I have is Trump can be a little 24 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: too trusting sometimes I think of people. And I wanted 25 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: to mention something else, Jeff, that has been bothering me, 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: something that came up you mentioned a few times on 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: the midterm elections. I have a friend we disagree politically. 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: He's very anti Trump, but he's kind of up there 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: in the CIA, He's worked there for years, and when 30 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: I express concerns, what he says to me is just 31 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: wait until after the twenty twenty six elections. And my 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: stomach kind of drops, thinking, what's going on? Is there 33 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: something behind the scenes that you know, people within Trump's 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: circle are going to be kind of stabbing him in 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: the back or something. I don't know. It just gave 36 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: me a little bit of pause to hear that. 37 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: Obviously, well, they're going to Maggie, They're going to destroy him. 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: They're going to destroy him. They're going to do everything 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: in their power to destroy him. And that's my fear, 40 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: and that's what I don't think the president. And I 41 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: say this with all due respect because you know how 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: much I love him and I voted for him three times, 43 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: and I'm a staunch supporter of MAGA, a staunch supporter 44 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: of America First. And let me just say this, I 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: still think. You know, I've argued this with even many 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: Trump supporters. You look at his first ten eleven months 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: in office. He's been incredible. I think he's had historic achievements, 48 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: historic achievements. But what I'm concerned about it's been about 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: the last six weeks and I can't quite get a 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: handle on it. I don't know who has his ear. 51 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: I don't know who he's listening to. But you know, 52 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: I made this joke over the weekend. We had a 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: caller on Friday, Roy in Oklahoma, and you know, he 54 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: was a conspiracy theorist, and he called and he said, 55 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 2: you know, this is not Trump. I go, what do 56 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: you mean this is not Trump? And he said, no, no, 57 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: he was kidnapped in Canada at the G seven. I'm like, what, No, No, 58 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: he was kidnapped at the G seven and he's dead. 59 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: They killed him and they put in an impostor. But 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: this guy is six inches shorter. That's why he's always sitting. 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, well, don't you think his wife would 62 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: have noticed his children, everybody who works for him, Hey, 63 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: you just shrunk six inches, you know, And he says, well, 64 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: everybody's in on it. Well, no, come on, but what 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: I'm saying is so it was, you know, it was 66 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: laughing and chuckling. But this weekend I was joking around saying, 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: maybe this guy Roy in Oklahoma's correct, Like, this is 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: not the Trump. Forget the first term, this is not 69 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: the Trump of the first nine months. So it's not 70 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: just the meeting with mom Donnie, Okay, let's just let 71 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: that one go. It's the h one B visas. How 72 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: he's going to give out what is it, a million, 73 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: h one be visas to literally replace Americans American jobs. 74 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: And then, when pressed why, he literally said, because essentially 75 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: Americans don't have the capacity the talent to do many 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: of these jobs. And I'm like, what six hundred thousand 77 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: student visas to students from China, many of them directly 78 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: connected to the CCP, and these visas have a green 79 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: card staple to them, And he says, well, I want 80 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: to save the university system, Well, you don't have to 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: do it by letting in six hundred thousand communists Chinese students. 82 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at h one B's, I'm looking at 83 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: the Chinese student visas. I mean, I could run down 84 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: the list having the leader of Syria who literally was 85 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: a member of al Qaeda al Cada, who personally slaughtered 86 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: thousands of Christians. So the people that attacked us on 87 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: nine to eleven were allowed to visit Trump in the 88 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: White House. Trump shook his hand. Trump even saluted him, 89 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: as you know, the other guy, the leader of Syria's 90 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: got his hand on his heart, like I love you, 91 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: and Trump is like saluting him. I'm like, you brought 92 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: al Cada into the White House? Who the hell advised 93 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: you on that? So you're starting to look at certain 94 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: issues and you're like, whoa, mister president. I love you, man, 95 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: but I didn't vote for this and so and then 96 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: the Epstein files. I don't I know. He finally at 97 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: the end made the right decision. But if you want 98 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: to know the feud between him and Marjorie Taylor Green, 99 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: it was over the Epstein files and she refused to 100 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: side with Trump on that issue, and she and Thomas 101 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: Massey and Nancy Mace, they formed a group that a 102 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: band I wouldn't call mo renegades that broke with the president, 103 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: sided with the Democrats, and that's why in the end 104 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: they had no choice but to release the Epstein files. 105 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: So when I look at h one B visas, when 106 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 2: I look at the Chinese student visas, when I look 107 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: at the Epstein files, when I look at meeting with 108 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: the al Qaeda president of Syria, I'm like, is that 109 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: President Trump? Like it did? Did somebody replace him? Is this? 110 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: You know? 111 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: So obviously he's getting bad advice. I think there's no question. 112 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: And so look, I've covered him now for a very 113 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: long time. As you know, I've never seen this before, 114 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: never saw it in the first term, never saw it 115 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: when he was out of power, never saw it in 116 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: the first nine months. How many of his supporters and 117 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: voters are now emailing the cooner Man, texting the cooner 118 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: Man saying, Jeff, I'm not going to vote in the midterms. 119 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: Like I'm just I'm not happy. I'm not happy with 120 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: the Republicans in Congress and Trump is making decisions that's 121 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: leaving me scratching my head. And I think what the 122 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: president doesn't see, coming to your point, is they are 123 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: going to destroy him. The Democrats are going to impeach him. 124 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: They are going to defund him. They want him in jail. 125 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: They're not going to give up the deep state. Once 126 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: they sense weakness, the long knives are going to be out. 127 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: And what you're going to see, Maggie, is that the 128 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: president now has people around him who he has supported, 129 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: who are lying to him. They're going to backstab him. 130 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you just to give you an example, 131 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: look at Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham did not vote for 132 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: Trump in twenty sixteen, didn't even vote for him in 133 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: twenty twenty. After the January sixth riot, twenty twenty one, 134 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: to the exact, Lindsey Graham came out and said Trump 135 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: is finished. Good riddance. The Republican Party needs to get 136 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 2: rid of Trump. Well, now, Trump has not just endorsed 137 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham for the primary. He's literally helping raise money 138 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: for Lindsey Graham. He's at his Florida golf course. They're 139 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: raising money for Lindsey. A man who supports amnesty, a 140 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: man who's a warmonger, a man who's a rabbit anti Trumper. 141 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 2: And by the way, I've seen and run into Lindsey 142 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: Graham multiple times when I was on Capitol Hill as 143 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 2: a reporter and an editor. Never when I met him 144 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: was he sober. I'm just being honest with you. Okay, 145 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: drink key, drink key, drink key by lunch. This guy 146 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: is three sheets to the wind. Okay, I'm not saying 147 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: he's an alcoholic, but I'm telling you I've never met 148 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: him sober. So this is the kind of guy you're 149 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: allying yourself with. When they turn on Trump, you watch, 150 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: Lindsey's gonna stab him right in the back. And this 151 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: is what Marjorie Taylor Green was trying to say. She said, so, 152 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm the trader, but Lindsey Graham isn't. And then you know, 153 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: in her resignation video, which I thought at times honestly 154 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: was moving and powerful, she says, so, I'm gonna have 155 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 2: to fight off now millions of dollars in attack ads 156 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: from President Trump and his supporters to primary me, and 157 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: then we're most likely going to lose the midterms. And 158 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: then after they start impeaching him, I'm gonna have to 159 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: defend the guy who called me a trader. She said, 160 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: I'm I'm not a battered wife. I'm not going to 161 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 2: do this. And so now Marjorie Taylor Green is gone. 162 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: And my fear is who's going to back Trump. He's 163 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: surrounded by judases. He has to win the midterms. If 164 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: he loses the midterms, they're going to try to sink 165 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: his presidency.
