Speaker 1: Boston's Bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kooner Report
Speaker 1: Weekend edition WRKO, the voice of Boston.
Speaker 2: As President Trump jumped the Shark, the Good Morning Cooner Country. Okay,
Speaker 2: my friends, let me be brutally honest with all of you,
Speaker 2: like I'm in the confessional, as I like to say,
Speaker 2: I was planning on talking about the economy. Trump's incredible
Speaker 2: achievements with the economy. Frankly, his massive successes in the
Speaker 2: last six months. To me, I've never seen any president
Speaker 2: ever have as many consequential achievements as he has had
Speaker 2: over the last six months, the first six months of
Speaker 2: any presidency. And I wasn't planning on talking about Epstein
Speaker 2: or the Epstein files or the Epstein List, because we've
Speaker 2: done several shows and you know where I stand, and
Speaker 2: most of you have expressed where you stand.
Speaker 3: But holy Schomoli, holy.
Speaker 2: Mackerel, you want to talk about Trump having and I
Speaker 2: mean just an angry reaction. You want to talk about Trump,
Speaker 2: I mean just giving it now to some of his supporters,
Speaker 2: in fact, many of his supporters with both barrels. He
Speaker 2: went on truth Social yesterday and he let it all
Speaker 2: hang out. And what you can tell now, is that
Speaker 2: the demand of many of his supporters, I would even
Speaker 2: say in some ways, maybe even a majority of his
Speaker 2: supporters for the Epstein files to be released, for there
Speaker 2: to be complete and utter transparency and accountability for what Epstein,
Speaker 2: and not just Epstein, but his sex trafficking network work
Speaker 2: on behalf of the victims of all of these pedophiles,
Speaker 2: powerful men who used Epstein to victimize and sexually abuse
Speaker 2: countless underage girls, including children. That this demand, now that
Speaker 2: we see all of the information and that they'd all
Speaker 2: be released, is now clearly clearly upsetting him now to
Speaker 2: the point where we have to ask ourselves, has Trump
Speaker 2: now gone too far? Or was he just blowing off steam?
Speaker 2: Is he just ultimately just exasperated and just kind of vented,
Speaker 2: or is this now a significant break with many and
Speaker 2: I mean many of his voters. So on Monday morning,
Speaker 2: yesterday morning, President Trump released an absolutely explosive post true
Speaker 2: social and let me just sum it up quickly because
Speaker 2: it's a very long post, but let me give you
Speaker 2: the the the heart of it, he writes regarding the
Speaker 2: Epstein files and the demand to release the files. According
Speaker 2: to Trump, this is what he wrote, My past supporters
Speaker 2: have bought into this. I can't say the word I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get fined. Bull You know what, have bought into
Speaker 2: this bs okay, this bull crap. Let's put it that way,
Speaker 2: hook line and sinker. And he went on to say,
Speaker 2: let and I remember he's talking now about MAGA, He's
Speaker 2: talking about Trump voters, Trump supporters. Let these weaklings continue
Speaker 2: forward and do the Democrats work. Don't even think about
Speaker 2: talking of our incredible and unprecedented success because I don't
Speaker 2: want their support anymore. He then added, I have had
Speaker 2: more success in six months than perhaps any president in
Speaker 2: our country's history.
Speaker 3: And all these people want to talk about with strong.
Speaker 2: Prodding by the fake news and the success starved Democrats
Speaker 2: is the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. And then he went on
Speaker 2: to say, in particular, he really forget doubling now he's
Speaker 2: tripling down that the Epstein files, he says, are one
Speaker 2: of the great hoaxes of our time. And so he
Speaker 2: starts to say that it's comparable, as he put it,
Speaker 2: to the Steele dose k, to the Russia collusion hoax,
Speaker 2: to the Hunter Biden laptop, saying, quote, these scams and
Speaker 2: hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at it's all
Speaker 2: they have. They are no good at governing, no good
Speaker 2: at policy, no good at picking winning candidates. And so
Speaker 2: he basically what he's saying is, in fact, I'll play
Speaker 2: you the cut.
Speaker 3: He then told reporters, these supporters.
Speaker 2: Of mine, they keep asking us to release the files,
Speaker 2: are quote unquote stupid. They're stupid, and I don't want
Speaker 2: their support, and that they're falling into this hoax that
Speaker 2: is now being pushed and peddled by the Democrats. And
Speaker 2: according to Trump, the Epstein files are a creation of
Speaker 2: Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Brennan, James Comey, and the
Speaker 2: same gang that gave us the Steele Dosier Russia collusion,
Speaker 2: the Hunter Biden laptop. That it was the fifty one
Speaker 2: intelligence agents who lied the laptop from Hell claiming it
Speaker 2: was Russian this informatsu when it really was obviously Hunter
Speaker 2: Biden's laptop. So he's now saying it's an absolute hoax.
Speaker 2: And all you want me to do now is focus
Speaker 2: on this hoax. And by doing this, I'm playing the
Speaker 2: Democrats' game. It's going to be a scandal that will
Speaker 2: take over my presidency while we're not talking or focusing
Speaker 2: on my incredible achievements both at home and abroad.
Speaker 3: And so basically he says, I don't want your support anymore.
Speaker 2: In fact, as he puts it, these are my quote
Speaker 2: past supporters. In other words, I don't want much to
Speaker 2: do with them anymore. Now let me just write, let
Speaker 2: me right out of the gate, give you exactly my take,
Speaker 2: and then I really want.
Speaker 3: To hear from you.
Speaker 2: Kooner country six one seven two six six, sixty eight,
Speaker 2: sixty eight. And I would love to take calls right
Speaker 2: after the break. So if you want to get on,
Speaker 2: now is the time to do it. I think part
Speaker 2: of it, clearly, it's a temper tantrum. He's angry, he's frustrated,
Speaker 2: he's done so much in six months, and now he feels,
Speaker 2: from Trump's point of view, he feels betrayed. I think
Speaker 2: he feels angered and betrayed by many of his supporters
Speaker 2: who are talking about the Epstein files, who want the
Speaker 2: Epstein files to be released, who are saying this is
Speaker 2: clearly now a moral stain on his presidency, and he
Speaker 2: feels in some sense betrayed. And I understand his anger.
Speaker 2: I do I understand his frustration. I clearly do. But
Speaker 2: sometimes it's better, you know, write something, get it off
Speaker 2: your chest, and then file it. It's you shouldn't sometimes
Speaker 2: press send or in this case, you know, whatever return
Speaker 2: or whatever post this. I think he should not have said.
Speaker 2: And I understand his frustration, of course, I get it.
Speaker 2: You're you know, basically saying, look, I just want to
Speaker 2: get to work. I don't want another, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: another issue to paralyze my presidency where I'm not able
Speaker 2: to continue to achieve my goals. I've had it. It's enough.
Speaker 2: Look what I've done, Look what we can continue to do.
Speaker 2: And I don't want this now to devour and consume
Speaker 2: my presidency. So I understand where he's coming from. But
Speaker 2: now what he's doing, as I said on X last night,
Speaker 2: he is now.
Speaker 3: Spitting in the face.
Speaker 2: Of millions and millions and millions, maybe probably tens of
Speaker 2: millions of his own voters. He is separating himself from
Speaker 2: and attacking his own people. That there's no question and
Speaker 2: when when you come out and say not only that
Speaker 2: they're stupid and that they're traders, and that they're weaklings,
Speaker 2: and that you know, essentially their suckers for falling for this.
Speaker 2: So called hoax. But then you say, and I don't
Speaker 2: want your support. Well, okay, let's play this out. You
Speaker 2: don't want their support, let me tell you what they're
Speaker 2: going to do. They're going to say, fine, I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna I'm not going to vote for the Democrats, obviously,
Speaker 2: So when the midterms roll around, they're not going to vote.
Speaker 2: They won't vote for the Democrats, they won't vote for
Speaker 2: you or the Republicans. So they're going to stay home,
Speaker 2: which means millions and millions and millions of his own
Speaker 2: voters are going to stay home.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what that means. You can take
Speaker 3: it to the bank.
Speaker 2: That means the Democrats are going to win back the House,
Speaker 2: probably win back the Senate, and you're going to get
Speaker 2: impeached over nothing, over nothing, and the second the second
Speaker 2: half of your second term is going to be consumed,
Speaker 2: palized by NonStop investigations and one impeachment after another. So
Speaker 2: I don't see how you win from this. Again, as
Speaker 2: I said on X, I think this is a big mistake.
Speaker 2: I understand the anger, I understand the frustration, and what
Speaker 2: I don't get is what is wrong.
Speaker 3: A with releasing the files. I still don't get this.
Speaker 3: If there are lies in there, if there are people
Speaker 3: who are being unfairly accused, well we can. We're smart enough,
Speaker 3: we can.
Speaker 2: We can parse and differentiate and analyze. I mean, we
Speaker 2: debunked the Steel dosier. We debunked the Hunter Biden laptop
Speaker 2: story that it was disinformation. We debunked the Steel, as
Speaker 2: I said, the Russia collusion hoax. So if there are
Speaker 2: lies in the in the files, we can. We can
Speaker 2: refute them, we can explode them, we can debunk them.
Speaker 2: But even if you think there are good reasons not
Speaker 2: to release the Epstein files, have Pam Bondi and Cash
Speaker 2: Ptel do a press conference and walk us through exactly
Speaker 2: why these files need to be kept under wrap and seal.
Speaker 2: But what you don't do to me is just say
Speaker 2: shut up, do as I say, or else I don't
Speaker 2: want your support.
Speaker 3: You're locked into Boston's bulldozer.
