Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boston's Bulldozer never sleeps. The Kooner Report weekend edition on
the Voice of Boston W RKO.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Mayor of Chicago and his compatriot, the Governor of Illinois,
are I have no other word for it but hysterical.
You know, how dare President Trump support Chicago or how
dare he suggests that Chicago is riddled with crime? How
dare he want to send help to fight the crime
that doesn't exist in our streets? You know, how dare
(00:28):
you have secret plans by the way that we're announced
in the Oval Office to come help. We need to coordinate,
but we'll arrest you if you come, if you tell
us that you're coming. I mean, my head is spinning
from these people. And they got the teachers Union over
a Labor Day weekend to help out by protesting. You know,
they had that anti Trump, workers over Billionaires marches that
(00:49):
were led by teachers Union, and they had one in
Chicago over Labor Day, and you know, they were the
organizers were saying thousands of people are going to be
in attendance. If you look at pictures of it doesn't
really look like that. It looks to me like they
were you know, maybe you know, dozens to hundreds, maybe,
(01:10):
But the protesters said they were concerned by Trump's threat
to send out the National Guard and additional ICE agents.
And you know that we can't have a major, major crackdown,
shutdown ICE, no military occupation, resist fascism or what the
sign said. And Mayor Brandon is claiming that if Trump
(01:31):
sent them, neighbors would rise up against tyranny. You know
who these people remind me of. Do you remember the
protesters at NYU, the Columbia students who went down not
knowing what they were protesting. That's what these people remind me.
They have no idea what it is that they're protesting about,
and they don't seem to really worry Trump. You know,
he basically declared in the Oval office, we're going in
(01:54):
cut fifty please, Mike, do you mind them on Chicago?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Though, well, we're going in. I didn't say when we're
going in when you lose. Look, I have an obligation.
This isn't a political thing. I have an obligation when
we lose. When twenty people are killed over the last
two and a half weeks, and seventy five are shot
with bullets, So let me tell you a little story
about a place called DC District of Columbia.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Right here where we are.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It's now a safe zone. We have no crime. It's
in such great shape. You can go and actually walk
with your children, your wife, your husband. You can walk
right down the middle of the street. You're not going
to be shot. Peter, You're safe. Everyone likes you anyway.
They probably wouldn't do it. But it's so dangerous, and
(02:43):
there are people in this audience that you've suffered greatly.
There are people in this audience that have been mugged
and hurt badly, and they don't want to talk about it.
Maybe you were very brave in talking about it. You
made quite an impression on a lot of people. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He's talking to other orders had talked about how they'd
been mugged recently. And so President Trump is basically warning Chicago,
get your act together. I'm here, we can come help.
He posted. The President posted over the weekend on true
social He said, you know, seven people were killed, twenty
(03:20):
four people were shot in Chicago last weekend, and JB. Pritzker,
the week empathetic governor of Illinois just said he doesn't
need help in preventing crime. He is crazy. He better
straightened out fast, or we're coming. And that follows weeks
of escalating tension between the White House and Chicago over
crime and the immigration enforcement.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
This is.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And they're between a rock and a hard place. They
if they accept help, it means they have to admit
that there's a problem, and they won't do that. Governor
Pritzker keeps pushing back against President Trump, accusing them of,
you know, authoritarian overreach. And it got to the point
(04:05):
where on Saturday, last Saturday, Mayor Johnson signed an executive
order directing city agencies, are you ready for this? To
resist federal immigration raids, barring Chicago police from cooperating with
federal authorities on civil immigration enforcement, and they also prohibited
(04:26):
officers from assisting in patrols, checkpoints, traffic stops, anything tied
to federal operations. Johnson says the measure was needed to
protect residence constitutional rights amidst the possibility of imminent militarized
immigration or National Guard deployment, and he claimed that President
Trump was yet again behaving outside the bounds of the constitution. Meanwhile,
(04:54):
just you know, I don't know if this was a
trolling thing, or whether they you know, really meant to
to poke them a little bit more, whether they really
need it. Trump officials have advanced their plans to use
Chicago's Great Lakes Naval Station to support any upcoming immigration
enforcement sweeps, which of course sat Pritzkerer and Johnson into
(05:17):
a complete and utter tizzy, including by the way, you
know who weighed in on this, secretary, former Secretary of
Transportation Pete Budajic. I mean, seriously, the guy who took
you know, parentally went missing during a transportation crisis during
COVID came out and on X said our military was
not set up to cater the whims of a would
(05:38):
be American dictator. While immigrant rights activists, you know, are
on the streets protesting and they're charging Trump with waging
war on American cities. Yet you know, President Trump says
Chicago is played by violence, and local people, people on
the ground there and business people have welcomed the prospect
(06:01):
of additional law enforcement, arguing, you know, the public safety
transcends partisan partisan divides, and isn't that the way it's
supposed to be. Isn't politics supposed to go by the
wayside when people's lives are at risk, not according to
you know, not according to Pritzker, and not according to
(06:24):
to Mayor Brandon Johnson. They don't want President Trump to
come in.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
And.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That, to me is insane. Do you think that President
Trump should wait for an invitation to go to Chicago?
You know, is given the fact that the local the
local politicians appeared to be crazy, should President Trump wait
for or actually I should put it, will President Trump
(06:56):
because he recognizes that they're crazy? Will President Trump wait
for an invitation from crazy man Illinois Governor Pritsker before
he sends the National Guard to assist in law enforcement
in Chicago? And you take the pole question on X
at the Kooner Report or on WRKO slash Cooner and
it's sponsored by Mario's Mario's Quality Roofing, Signing and windows.
(07:20):
So the pole question is will President Trump wait for
an invitation for Illinois Governor Pritzker before he sends the
National Guard to assist in law enforcement? And there's another
question should he should he wait or should he just
send people? Let's go to the phone line six one
seven two sixty eight sixty eight is the number here
Darryl in Georgia Daryl, Welcome to WRKO. How are you, Darryl?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Good morning, Sammy. Hey. I get two quick points, but
before that, I just wish Jeff good health and that
it'll be back so well.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm sure he appreciates that. He's very touched by it
by all the well wishes.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Okay, now these two points are going to tie in together,
and I'm hoping, like hell, I'm wrong. I want somebody
to prove me wrong. But here's the way I see it.
The Democrats are the common denominator and all of these
crime ridden cities, their policies and something else is the
reason why I think it continues. Like I said originally,
(08:16):
remember I told you before, I'm from Chicago. The thing
is these all of these cities have the same common denominator.
They're saturated with crime, minority driven because that's the majority
of the population, it seems like, and Democrats control it
and they have no intention on solving the problems. But
(08:37):
I don't even blame the people for that. It goes
to my second point. If you notice something that's part
of the common denominator is going all over rather it
be Gavid Newsom and then California, you be Pritzker, Holcombe,
you know, you name it. Even your Michelle wool doesn't
(08:58):
want to cooperate with Ice or anything like that up there.
Here's what's going on. The problem is it's the voters.
Because think about this. You've got that diabolical idiot on
the path right now to become the mayor of New
York City, and everybody can see what he is a house. Yeah,
(09:18):
that's why I said, these are the voters faults. People
keep voting for this. They complain about it, but they
vote for it. So I understand what President Trump wants
to do. I mean I admire him for it. Clean
it up, because once it's cleaned up and people can
see a better light, then maybe they'll start voting more conservative.
But right now, the minority communities have been voting for
(09:42):
so long, for sixty five years, I tell some of
my friends down here, for sixty five years, ninety five
percent of the vote from the black vote has been
going to the Democrats. And for sixty five years we
complain about the same things. But yet sixty five years later,
why are we still complaining about something? Because the Democrats
have absolutely no intention on solving the problem. They want
(10:06):
a campaign on it. This is a social thing. They
don't want President Trump coming in there cleaning his stuff up,
because if he cleans it up, it's going to prove
once and for all.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm sorry. Hang on there, Darryl. We're up against a heartbreak.
We don't have much of a choice. But we will
be right back and we'll come back to you on
the other side. What you're saying makes a great deal
of sense. I think it's true, but I think it's
also starting to change. We'll be right back. Six one, seven, two, six, six,
sixty eight. Sixty eight is the number here. This is
the Kooner Report.
