<v Speaker 1>Boston's Bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kooner Report

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Weekend edition WRKO, the voice of Boston.

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>As President Trump jumped the Shark, the Good Morning Cooner Country. Okay,

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>my friends, let me be brutally honest with all of you,

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>like I'm in the confessional, as I like to say,

6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I was planning on talking about the economy. Trump's incredible

7
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>achievements with the economy. Frankly, his massive successes in the

8
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>last six months. To me, I've never seen any president

9
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>ever have as many consequential achievements as he has had

10
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 2>over the last six months, the first six months of

11
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>any presidency. And I wasn't planning on talking about Epstein

12
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 2>or the Epstein files or the Epstein List, because we've

13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>done several shows and you know where I stand, and

14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>most of you have expressed where you stand.

15
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>But holy Schomoli, holy.

16
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Mackerel, you want to talk about Trump having and I

17
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>mean just an angry reaction. You want to talk about Trump,

18
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean just giving it now to some of his supporters,

19
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>in fact, many of his supporters with both barrels. He

20
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>went on truth Social yesterday and he let it all

21
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>hang out. And what you can tell now, is that

22
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the demand of many of his supporters, I would even

23
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>say in some ways, maybe even a majority of his

24
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>supporters for the Epstein files to be released, for there

25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to be complete and utter transparency and accountability for what Epstein,

26
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 2>and not just Epstein, but his sex trafficking network work

27
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>on behalf of the victims of all of these pedophiles,

28
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>powerful men who used Epstein to victimize and sexually abuse

29
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>countless underage girls, including children. That this demand, now that

30
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>we see all of the information and that they'd all

31
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>be released, is now clearly clearly upsetting him now to

32
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the point where we have to ask ourselves, has Trump

33
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 2>now gone too far? Or was he just blowing off steam?

34
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Is he just ultimately just exasperated and just kind of vented,

35
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>or is this now a significant break with many and

36
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean many of his voters. So on Monday morning,

37
00:02:52.599 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>yesterday morning, President Trump released an absolutely explosive post true

38
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>social and let me just sum it up quickly because

39
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a very long post, but let me give you

40
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>the the the heart of it, he writes regarding the

41
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Epstein files and the demand to release the files. According

42
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>to Trump, this is what he wrote, My past supporters

43
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>have bought into this. I can't say the word I'm

44
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna get fined. Bull You know what, have bought into

45
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>this bs okay, this bull crap. Let's put it that way,

46
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 2>hook line and sinker. And he went on to say,

47
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>let and I remember he's talking now about MAGA, He's

48
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about Trump voters, Trump supporters. Let these weaklings continue

49
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>forward and do the Democrats work. Don't even think about

50
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>talking of our incredible and unprecedented success because I don't

51
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 2>want their support anymore. He then added, I have had

52
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>more success in six months than perhaps any president in

53
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>our country's history.

54
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>And all these people want to talk about with strong.

55
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Prodding by the fake news and the success starved Democrats

56
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>is the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. And then he went on

57
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>to say, in particular, he really forget doubling now he's

58
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>tripling down that the Epstein files, he says, are one

59
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>of the great hoaxes of our time. And so he

60
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>starts to say that it's comparable, as he put it,

61
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to the Steele dose k, to the Russia collusion hoax,

62
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>to the Hunter Biden laptop, saying, quote, these scams and

63
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at it's all

64
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>they have. They are no good at governing, no good

65
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>at policy, no good at picking winning candidates. And so

66
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>he basically what he's saying is, in fact, I'll play

67
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 2>you the cut.

68
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 3>He then told reporters, these supporters.

69
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Of mine, they keep asking us to release the files,

70
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 2>are quote unquote stupid. They're stupid, and I don't want

71
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>their support, and that they're falling into this hoax that

72
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>is now being pushed and peddled by the Democrats. And

73
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>according to Trump, the Epstein files are a creation of

74
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Brennan, James Comey, and the

75
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>same gang that gave us the Steele Dosier Russia collusion,

76
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 2>the Hunter Biden laptop. That it was the fifty one

77
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>intelligence agents who lied the laptop from Hell claiming it

78
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>was Russian this informatsu when it really was obviously Hunter

79
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Biden's laptop. So he's now saying it's an absolute hoax.

80
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>And all you want me to do now is focus

81
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>on this hoax. And by doing this, I'm playing the

82
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Democrats' game. It's going to be a scandal that will

83
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>take over my presidency while we're not talking or focusing

84
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>on my incredible achievements both at home and abroad.

85
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 3>And so basically he says, I don't want your support anymore.

86
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>In fact, as he puts it, these are my quote

87
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>past supporters. In other words, I don't want much to

88
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>do with them anymore. Now let me just write, let

89
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>me right out of the gate, give you exactly my take,

90
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and then I really want.

91
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 3>To hear from you.

92
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Kooner country six one seven two six six, sixty eight,

93
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>sixty eight. And I would love to take calls right

94
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 2>after the break. So if you want to get on,

95
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 2>now is the time to do it. I think part

96
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>of it, clearly, it's a temper tantrum. He's angry, he's frustrated,

97
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>he's done so much in six months, and now he feels,

98
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>from Trump's point of view, he feels betrayed. I think

99
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>he feels angered and betrayed by many of his supporters

100
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>who are talking about the Epstein files, who want the

101
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Epstein files to be released, who are saying this is

102
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>clearly now a moral stain on his presidency, and he

103
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>feels in some sense betrayed. And I understand his anger.

104
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I do I understand his frustration. I clearly do. But

105
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's better, you know, write something, get it off

106
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>your chest, and then file it. It's you shouldn't sometimes

107
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>press send or in this case, you know, whatever return

108
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>or whatever post this. I think he should not have said.

109
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 2>And I understand his frustration, of course, I get it.

110
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You're you know, basically saying, look, I just want to

111
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>get to work. I don't want another, uh, you know,

112
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>another issue to paralyze my presidency where I'm not able

113
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to continue to achieve my goals. I've had it. It's enough.

114
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Look what I've done, Look what we can continue to do.

115
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>And I don't want this now to devour and consume

116
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>my presidency. So I understand where he's coming from. But

117
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>now what he's doing, as I said on X last night,

118
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>he is now.

119
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Spitting in the face.

120
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Of millions and millions and millions, maybe probably tens of

121
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>millions of his own voters. He is separating himself from

122
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and attacking his own people. That there's no question and

123
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>when when you come out and say not only that

124
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>they're stupid and that they're traders, and that they're weaklings,

125
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and that you know, essentially their suckers for falling for this.

126
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>So called hoax. But then you say, and I don't

127
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>want your support. Well, okay, let's play this out. You

128
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>don't want their support, let me tell you what they're

129
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>going to do. They're going to say, fine, I'm never

130
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm not going to vote for the Democrats, obviously,

131
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 2>So when the midterms roll around, they're not going to vote.

132
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>They won't vote for the Democrats, they won't vote for

133
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>you or the Republicans. So they're going to stay home,

134
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>which means millions and millions and millions of his own

135
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 2>voters are going to stay home.

136
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you what that means. You can take

137
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 3>it to the bank.

138
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 2>That means the Democrats are going to win back the House,

139
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>probably win back the Senate, and you're going to get

140
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>impeached over nothing, over nothing, and the second the second

141
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.639
<v Speaker 2>half of your second term is going to be consumed,

142
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>palized by NonStop investigations and one impeachment after another. So

143
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't see how you win from this. Again, as

144
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I said on X, I think this is a big mistake.

145
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I understand the anger, I understand the frustration, and what

146
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't get is what is wrong.

147
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 3>A with releasing the files. I still don't get this.

148
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 3>If there are lies in there, if there are people

149
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 3>who are being unfairly accused, well we can. We're smart enough,

150
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 3>we can.

151
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>We can parse and differentiate and analyze. I mean, we

152
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>debunked the Steel dosier. We debunked the Hunter Biden laptop

153
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>story that it was disinformation. We debunked the Steel, as

154
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I said, the Russia collusion hoax. So if there are

155
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>lies in the in the files, we can. We can

156
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>refute them, we can explode them, we can debunk them.

157
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>But even if you think there are good reasons not

158
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to release the Epstein files, have Pam Bondi and Cash

159
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Ptel do a press conference and walk us through exactly

160
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>why these files need to be kept under wrap and seal.

161
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 2>But what you don't do to me is just say

162
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>shut up, do as I say, or else I don't

163
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>want your support.

164
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.720
<v Speaker 3>You're locked into Boston's bulldozer.
