Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boston's Bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kuner Report
weekend edition, WRKO, The Voice of Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Okay, my friends first call me, then Letitia James, and
now The Walrus. Former National Security advisor John Bolton was
indicted yesterday by a grand jury. The Justice Department now
has really when you look at the details of this,
(00:31):
Bolton's in big trouble. Bolton may be spending the rest
of his life in jail. He is seventy six years old.
As you know, he is a deep Stater, has been
for a long time. He was Trump's National Security advisor
in his first term for about eighteen months, and it
(00:52):
was clear that he was there to subvert the Trump administration,
to undermine and his agenda in favor of a Neo
Khan establishment globalist deep state effort, to sabotage Trump's efforts
(01:13):
to get a peace deal with North Korea, to end
our forever wars, to eventually pull out of Afghanistan with honor,
Peace with honor. As Trump said repeatedly, what Bolton wanted
was he wanted to destroy everything Trump was trying to
do regarding his America First foreign policy from within and
(01:39):
as I said, on X last night, and again I
have to repeat it. He used this show in particular
to do it. As many of you know, we had
Bolton on for years. He was a regular on this
show every Friday. And my collab operation with Bolton was
(02:02):
due to the United Nations, where he was a big
critic of the UN under Bush, which I agreed with.
He was a staunch opponent of foreign aid, which I
agreed with. And the biggest one was he was an
opponent of the International Criminal Court, the ICC, this UN
(02:22):
backed court which wanted to use now so called quote
unquote international law to try American troops, American generals, and
eventually even American presidents for so called war crimes. In
other words, it was a globalist, leftist attempt to try
(02:46):
to destroy our sovereignty and end America as a military superpower,
and destroy our independence on the world stage, and so
on those issues. Bolton, to be fair, was not just good,
he was excellent, and so that's what initially started him
(03:08):
coming on the Kuner Report. But what became obvious is
after Trump won, Bolton wanted access to the administration, and
of course his foreign policy views were different than President Trump's.
He was a Bushy John Bolton was much closer to
(03:29):
George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, that entire globalist,
neo conservative, warmongering wing warhawk wing of the Republican Party
that Trump had actually run against and defeated in twenty sixteen.
(03:50):
And so what he did was he came on this
show and he began to deceive. He began to reinvent
himself as a born again MAGA America First Conservative, and
he sounded like Trump on many issues, and he said
what he believed Trump wanted to hear and his people
(04:13):
wanted to hear. But in retrospect, here is clearly what
he did. He came on my show. He came on
this show, our show to ingratiate himself with Trump, to
ingratiate himself with the Trump administration, with MAGA, and eventually
(04:35):
he was able to get himself into the administration because
they were hearing him on this show in particular, and said,
you know what, Bolton's changing, Bolton's evolving, Bolton sounds like
one of us now, and let's, you know, let's give
him a shot at National Security Advisor. And so he
ingratiated himself into the administration. But it wasn't because he
(04:59):
really wanted to help Trump succeed or help the country succeed. No. No,
he was there to destroy it, undermine it from within,
subvert it from within. And he barely lasted eighteen months
on the job. Trump couldn't believe how again and again
and again Bolton was constantly blocking him, obstructing him, usually
(05:24):
behind the scenes, leaking against him. And as I said
on X Yesterday, once he became National Security Advisor in
Trump's first term, I never heard from the Walrus again ever,
not an email, not a text message, nothing, not as
(05:45):
zero zilch, because for him it was mission accomplished. He
got in and he did as much damage against Trump
and America first as he could. Now here comes the indictments.
What he also did was he padded his bank account
and he wrote a self serving memoir primarily based on
(06:10):
his time Jose eighteen months in Trump's first term, and
it was called It was published Forgive Me in twenty twenty,
the Room where It happened, or where it all happened.
And there he uses his book in twenty twenty to
attack Trump, to viscerate Trump, to hopefully defeat Trump in
(06:35):
the twenty twenty election when he was running against Joe Biden.
And so what he did was he set up as
he was National Security Advisor, he set up what was
sort of like diary entries of and this is the
key now, our weapons of mass destruction program, our meetings
(06:59):
with foreign leaders, highly sensitive, highly classified information regarding war plans,
regarding information that we have about covert operations happening around
the world. And then he sent it to two other
(07:20):
people on a private email server. He used both a
Google and an Aol email account on a private server
in which he took classified, in fact highly classified information
at the highest level and sent it off to two
(07:40):
other people. Who are these two other people? It turns
out to be his wife and his daughter. He claimed
there were two editors for his book. It was his
wife and his daughter, so that they could hold on
to this information as he kept amassing it and amassing
it and amassing it for what would eventually be a memoir.
(08:02):
Now he was told repeatedly by the Trump administration, you
do not have permission to use this highly classified information.
It's classified. It should not be published, It should never
be published. The Espionage Act is crystal clear on this.
(08:23):
It is illegal. He did it anyway a federal judge.
And this is after Bolton had sent out thousands of
copies of his book to editors, to publishers, to reviewers,
already early orders. Remember, the left snatched up that book.
(08:44):
It made him a star on the anti Trump left.
The resistance loved him for it. They hated him because
he was an architect of the Iraq war. For years
now they re christened him anti Trumper, and he got
a gig on this iss CNN. CNN loved him. They
(09:07):
couldn't get enough of him. But a judge told him,
I'm not gonna order the destruction of the copies of
these books, but I want you to know you have
violated national security, you have violated the Espionage Act. You're
gonna get yourself in big trouble. Bolton didn't care. He
(09:28):
wanted to publish this book where he made a fortune
millions and millions and millions of dollars. So he had
a personal financial self interest. He wanted to line his
bank account. But the big reason was he wanted now
to punch Trump in the nose, to hurt him, to
(09:49):
damage him, to undermine him. Just before the twenty twenty
critical election with Joe Biden. Here's his former National Sececurity advisor,
for God's sake saying, this man is quote not fit
to be president of the United States, and that's was
his goal the whole time. It's why he came on
(10:11):
this show, It's why he wanted to get into the
Trump administration. It's why he kept taking all of these entries,
all of this information and then sending it on a
private server, which by the way, is exactly what Hillary
Clinton did. Now here is the kicker, as he puts
(10:32):
all of this highly classified, sensitive information on a private server,
which is illegal, and then he transmits it to his
wife and daughter, which is illegal. It turns out that
the Iranians hacked his Aol personal email account, meaning he
(10:55):
was so irresponsible and so reckless that by doing what
he did, the Iranians now most likely got access to
some of our biggest, most classified, sensitive secrets and information.
John Bolton is a criminal and he deserves to rot
(11:19):
in prison for the rest of his life.
