Crime Crackdown

Episode Transcript

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):
Jeff Cooner Liberalism's worst nightmare. Baby. Okay, listen now to
the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser. She's a very left
wing Democrat. She and along with the entire Democrat city Council,
have run the District of Columbia into the ground. It

(00:30):
is an unmitigated disaster. Well, she's not happy now that
Trump is going to be sending in National Guard troops
and that he is now putting the Metropolitan Police Department,
her police department under the control of the Feds, and
in particular ag PAMBONDI. Listen now to Bowser saying crime

(00:55):
is at a thirty year low. What's the problem? World
Cut seventeen A Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I believe that the President's view of DC is shaped
by his COVID era experience during his first term, and
it is true that those were more challenging times related
to some issues. It is also true that we experienced
a crime spike post COVID, but we work quickly to

(01:28):
put laws in place and tactics that got violent offenders
offer streets and gave our police officers more tools, which
is why we have seen a huge decrease in crime.
Because of those efforts, we have been able to reverse

(01:48):
that twenty twenty three crime spike. This year, crime isn't
just down from twenty twenty three, it's also down from
twenty nineteen before pandemic, and we're at a thirty year
violent crime low.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's because you're cooking the books. You're your police commander
had to resign because they caught him literally falsifying statistics,
making it seem that the murder rate was lower, the
homicide rate, the burglary rate, the robbery rate, the car
jacking rate are rapes by the way, as well, that
everything was much lower than it really is. That's number one.

(02:30):
Number two. I don't care if it's lower. From twenty
twenty three twenty twenty three, they were dropping like flies
all over the streets. So who cares, you know, say
there's one thousand people dying, You go, well, now there's
only nine hundred people dying. Yeah, that's nine hundred too many.
What do I care? I mean, you're just playing games.

(02:54):
But this is the real reason, this is the real reason.
They now realize that their absolute incompetence. Their incompetence has
been exposed, and so now they want to score cheap
political points against Trump. Now it's wink, wink, It's the

(03:16):
end of our dictatorship. It's sorry, it's the end of
our democracy. Dictatorship is coming. It's the beginning. He's now
dictator Trump. He's putting his troops on the streets. Roll
cut seventeen A Mike.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
My message to residents is this, we know that access
to our democracy is tenuous. That is why you have
heard me and many many Washingtonians before me, advocate for
full statehood for the District of Columbia. And while this
action today is unsettingly and unprecedented, I can't say that

(04:00):
given some of the rhetoric of the past that were
totally surprised.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
You can't run yourself as a city, you're so incompetent.
And by the way, in you know what Trump did
by federalizing the police, bringing in National Guard troops, she
can say it's unprecedented till the cows come home. It
has been done over and over again. It has been

(04:28):
done multiple times. They did it, for example against Marion
Barry in the nineteen eighties when he ran that city
into the ground. So there's nothing that Trump is doing
that hasn't been done before. And sometimes literally Congress had
to take over and run DC through committees because that's

(04:50):
how poorly governed it was. You can't self govern yourselves
as a city. But now you want to reward that
with being a yeah, I don't think so, I don't know,
I don't think so. No, No, over my dead body.
Now one more cut, and then I want to go

(05:12):
to the phone lines. I want you to listen now
to Congressman James Clyburn from South Carolina. Remember he was
the guy that rallied the Congressional Black Caucus and the
minority voters in particular in South Carolina in the DEM
primary to save Joe Biden's candidacy in twenty twenty and

(05:34):
help him defeat Bernie Sanders and launched Biden towards the
Democratic nomination. Now listen to the race card that's being played.
This is not just a dictatorship. Oh no, this is
now Jim Crow all over again. Roll cut nineteen.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Mike, as a student of history, as someone who is
living this right, now, draw a line for us between
what we are watching happening in Washington, d C. With
the President of the United States, and what we are
watching unfold in South Carolina, in Missouri, in Texas.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
You may recall at the Democratic Invention, I spoke one
evening and I said, the Project twenty twenty five is
Jim Crow two point zero. Now, Jim Crow one point
oh came out of a thesis written by a Confederate General,
Martin Gary.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
If you look at my Project twenty twenty five, look
at that eighteen seventy six document, you will see why
I said what I did at the Democratic Invention, because
whoever wrote Project twenty twenty five, they used those eatings
out of eighteen seventy six. I can tell you right
now exactly what is going to happen in so many

(06:54):
of these instances, because it's all read there.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
If you look in the history books, you see it.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I mean, you want to talk about incitement, You want
to talk about you know, yelling, screaming fire, shouting fire
in a crowded theater. He's trying now to whip up
fear in the black community. So now what they're going
to be drinking at separate water fountains, They're going to
be going on what segregated schools. What now they're going

(07:24):
to be denied the right to vote simply because they're
going to be putting National Guard troops and the police
under federal control to crack down on gangs. Disgusting.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
You're locked into Boston's Bulldozer, The Kooner Report weekend edition,
