Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, I want to ask all of you.
You obviously have now Obama pouring gasoline on the fire
blaming Trump. If you can believe it again, you liberalism
is a mental disorder, blaming President Trump for the climate
(00:24):
of political violence in our country and for the assassination
of Charlie Kirk. And there's something that Lou from Rhode
Island said maybe about half an hour ago, when he said,
it's as if the liberals now have put a fatwa
on Trump and in many ways on Trump's supporters. And
(00:47):
you know, I gotta tell you, I think this is
the major reason why you're seeing this massive backlash against everyone.
I don't care if it's nurses or teachers, or doctors,
or government employees, civil servants, or Jimmy Kimmel, the most
(01:08):
prominent example, well whatever to try not just celebrate the
death of Charlie Kirk, but to try to somehow blame
it on Magas supporters, to say that somehow Trump or
you or me or conservatives that somehow were to blame
(01:33):
for what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's part of the
continued dehumanization of us. You know, it's really it's very
similar to Hitler in the nineteen thirties. They love to
use the Hitler analogy. Well, let's use it. The Jews
were to blame for everything. They would escapegoat for everything.
(01:53):
So Nazis are killing people, the Jews are to blame.
It doesn't matter. So it's always the Jews. It's always
the Jews. Well, it's the same thing. It's always Maga,
it's always Trump. It doesn't matter how outrageous and atrocity
is that this was a clear pro transgender radical leftist.
(02:14):
I mean, you can't make it more obvious. No, it's
got to be Mega, it's got to be Trump. And
it really is like the secular liberal version of an
Islamist or an Islamic fatua kill them. What they're really
saying is that Trump is a cancer on America. That
(02:41):
Maga and all of his seventy eight million voters and
supporters are truly a cancer on America. We're to blame
for everything. Political extremism.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's US fascism, that's US racism, that's US white supremacy,
that's US authoritarianism, that's US assassinations, that's US. So Charlie
Kirk was Maga. He was almost I mean he campaigned
(03:18):
for Trump. In fact, he was indispensable. The Trump campaign
openly admitted this. Without Charlie Kirk, Trump would not have
won Arizona and most likely Wisconsin because he had such
an influence on the youth vote, meaning those eighteen to
twenty nine. So he loved President Trump, he supported President Trump,
(03:40):
practically agreed with him on every single issue, and he
campaigned for President Trump and was instrumental in Trump's victory.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But Trump killed Kirk. Maga killed Kirk. Which is the
disgusting smear and the disgusting lie that Jimmy Kimmel pedaled
on Monday Monday Night, which ended up getting him fired. Well,
what's the difference between what Kimmel said and what Obama said?
(04:14):
Except Obama does it in a bit more of a smooth,
polished you know, I'm putting this in air quotes presidentially.
He's not smirking and laughing and you know, making cracks
about he's mourning. Look, a four year old morns the
death of his goldfish. So without the crassness and the
(04:36):
vulgarity of a Jimmy Kimmel but the message is the same.
The message is absolutely the same. And so let me
ask all of you this. Now that Charlie Kirk is
going to be buried on Sunday, It's going to be
a massive funeral. President Trump will be there speaking. JD.
(04:59):
Vance will be there speaking, apparently, Pete Hegseth will be
speaking many obviously, Erica, his wife, will be speaking. It
is going to be in front of in a stadium.
It is going to be I mean, it's going to
be packed to the raftors, to the rafters, forgive me.
It's going to be covered live. The whole world will
(05:22):
be watching. And also in the wake of that beautiful, touching,
powerful vigil yesterday in Boston at the steps of the
State Legislature to commemorate and honor Charlie Kirk, let me
ask all of you, was the death of Charlie Kirk
(05:46):
in many ways the result of a fat wa, Not
a formal fat wa, obviously, but an informal fat wa.
And do you believe that conservatives are being hunted, that
we are under siege, that the left, Obama in particular,
(06:12):
but the media, the Democratic Party bear responsibility for what
happened because of the culture and climate of hatred and
vilification and villainization and really of dehumanization that they have unleashed.
Six one seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight
(06:34):
is the number. Just once. I want to go to
d on Cape Cod, but just super super quick, I
need to say this. Obama, when he was giving that
interview with Steve Scully where he went on and blamed Trump,
if you can believe it, for the assassination of Charlie
Kirk and said, all this political extremism, now that's you know,
(06:57):
tearing the country apart. That's all mad that's all Trump
and his allies. He lied. I mean, obviously he lied
about Trump and MAGA, but he was listing stuff that
allegedly Charlie Kirk believed in. And half of what he
said that Charlie Kirk allegedly espoused was a blatant lie.
(07:21):
And one of them and they keep mentioning this, which
is a disgusting lie, is that Kirk supposedly, according to them,
claimed that black women's brains were smaller than that of
white women. He never said that, he never came close
to saying that. That is from a Washington Post editor
(07:46):
and columnist, a die hard moonbat who literally fabricated that quote.
She just made it up, like literally made it up.
And that's why this was maybe a week ago. The
Post fired her for committing the most serious crime a
journalist can commit, literally making up a quote. I mean
(08:10):
even a ninth grade high school newspaper would fire a
so called journalist or report it for that. And so
the Post said no, he never Her own editor said no,
he never said that. You made that up. You literally
made the whole quote up. So they had to fire her.
But it doesn't matter. They took that quote Obama did
(08:34):
many on the internet, on Blue Sky, that's where all
the crazy liberals go on social media. Jasmine Crockett's been
using it, AOC has been using it, Elizabeth Warren's been
using it. It's a lie, he never said it. It's
a smear. And this is the only way the left
(08:58):
can deal with this is he by making stuff up.
Or and this is what they're hinting at, wink wink.
He had it coming. Oh you was such a hater.
He was such a racist. Of course he was going
to get shot and killed. Honestly, these people are disgusting
six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
(09:22):
D on Cape cod Thanks for holding d and welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Thank you Jeff and first time caller.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I will the screener.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm going to be sending you. I have some cell
phone video of Antifa from last night, and I'll get
that to you via email. What happened last night was
quite an experience. Very briefly, I lived in Back Bay
for years, todd at Boston Universities in the area, and
(09:53):
so my point is experienced a number of events and
in those of protests. So what I saw last night
with the group of about thirty from Antifa was words dangerous,
and the police were phenomenal. Their presence I don't know
if the glober hell will cover this, Jeff was extensive,
(10:17):
and the helicopters flying above. I had a white poster
with the Christian symbol with the fish, and I was
one of those people that Antifa was right across from me,
and I held up my poster and the police were
flanked behind all of us. But one thing I wanted
to bring to mind is never did I feel in danger,
(10:40):
even though they were loud and it was very palatable.
What I found interesting in telling was something that I've
seen just in you know, reaching out. We've got our
fiftieth reunion coming up on Facebook with old friends or whatever,
and just seeing women in my age being radicalized and
(11:01):
it's extreme, Jeff. So it says a lot about what's
being planted internally in this country. And last night we
were a group of us were confronted by women my age,
and I was I felt more in danger of them.
But once again, when I turned around, there were about
(11:22):
one hundred police officers behind six of us. With those
women across from us, we were you know, vis a
v with them, and that was a you know, very
could have been a very dangerous situation if the barricades
weren't there.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well D, by the way, I'm so thankful A that
you've called, and B that you're going to be sending
me that video footage uh D for your first time calling.
By the way, you've done an amazing job, really really
good job.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Uh D.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I gotta ask you, say the police were not there,
just for argument's sake, say there or there was like
one or two police officers. In other words, it was
not a heavy let's say, there would not have been
a heavy police presence with those people that are so
radicalized they hate conservatives, they hate Charlie Kirk, they hate you,
(12:09):
they hate us. Would there have been violence? Would Antifa
and some of these elderly ladies, would they have started
to spit on people, throw things at people, attack people
in your.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Opinion, Jeff, I have to speak with you right now,
and I want to speak with you, and I want
to speak with anyone listening from the White House Office.
My background all includes political communication and political protests rhetoric.
I'll answer your question by saying, if there were not
(12:44):
police presence there last night, and I don't say this lightly,
there would have been attacks. I would have been attacked, Jeff.
I would have been physically attacked. As a matter of fact.
I told it up my Christian signage and put it
in a barrow and walk down near the Popstreet church
(13:05):
where they were still protesting, and they were protesting loud,
and they were their language was absolutely grotesque, and people
were walking by looking at them, visitors to the Boston
area in disgust. But they you know, they would look
the other way. But to the Trump administration, yes, violence absolutely,
(13:32):
and I don't say that every day, Jeff. That's what
I saw last night.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
D I've only got one by their riveting. I've only
got one minute left, so I need you to be
really quick and to the point. D. Some of the
footage that I got from members of Kooner Country that
were there showed exactly what you're saying now. The look
on some of their eyes, these Antifa thugs. D Am
I wrong to say? Those were the eyes? I mean,
(14:00):
hardcore fanatics, people full of rage, the profound hatred, almost psychotic.
Am I wrong? The very quick thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Jeff, No, you're not. I've just got to say You're
not wrong at all. That's those are the eyes I
looked into. But equally important, the women my age people
that grew up.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, the more elderly people were just they're almost just
as crazy, and you felt even unsafe around them. D.
Dyna might call, thank you so much and please send
me that footage. I look forward to seeing it. Thank
you again, and d don't be a stranger. Call again.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
(14:45):
is the number. Okay. A lot of people now want
to weigh in, obviously on everything that's been happening. Huge
funeral plan for Charlie Kirk on Friday, President Trump will
be speaking. J the events will be speaking. Many members
of the administration are going to be there speaking as
(15:06):
well as obviously Erica Kirk is going to be speaking
as well. It's going to have international media. It will
be covered live. This You know, many are now saying,
for our generation, this is our JFK. People are now
making comparisons to the assassination of John F. Kennedy that
(15:30):
years from now people are going to be asking themselves
the moment Charlie Kirk was murdered, was shot, where were you?
Where were you at that fateful moment? This is now
the atmosphere, the feeling now that many say is starting
to come over so many Americans in the tragic in
(15:55):
the wake of the tragic death and murder of Charlie Kirk.
Seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number.
Bruce in Woburn. Thanks for holding Bruce, and welcome boy.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Those Antifa moonbats, Bruce, Apparently there was quite a few
of them yesterday at that prayer vigil. They were out enforced.
My friend, Bruce, Buddy, what do you make of all this?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, the pen is mightier than the sword. Unfortunately, I
believe the other side go with the violence against them
like they go against us. But we're not that kind
of dude. So the proof is in the pudding. It's
all coming out Obama show Rose. They're all responsible for
(16:58):
ruining Europe with all the invasions and everything that we've
been going through in this country. But just remember, Charlie
Kirk was sacrificed for us, like you were almost sacrificed
for us, And I hold you in the highest esteem,
(17:21):
and I'm worried about you, but not really because you've
got people. We got people, we got Jesus Christ and
the Lord God Almighty that are watching out for us.
So we got to eliminate these and Chief's Black lives matter.
(17:47):
Anybody that wants to disrupt what really is going on
here with the freedom of speech, say use it against us,
like they can say and do whatever they want to do,
but we can't speak out against them. Well, communism at
its highest, highest support.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh you're dead on, Bruce, if you don't mind me asking,
what what is that noise in the background. It's like
there's like a chainsaw or something.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I know it's chipping up tile at this apartment building.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, I just I'm like it's like you guys are
taking a chainsaw to like, you know, a tree or something.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
A machine gun.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm thinking, like, what are you guys
battling Antifa out there? All right, Bruce, stay safe, Thank
you for that call. God bless you, my friend. Keep
on working, buddy. Uh, that's Cooner country. They're calling as
they're working. Okay, No, he's right. Look, my fear is
(18:50):
that I think, Look, the country's on a razor's edge.
Let's look at each other. And when d described these
Antifa types that were there yesterday and they're all over
the country, the crazy eyes, the fanaticism, the use of
the easily, how they can resort to violence, the pure hatred,
(19:13):
the obscenities, the profanities, almost the political and the insanity
of them. How unaninged and deranged they are. I'm gonna
be honest with you, I'm thinking Islamic terrorists jahadists, except
obviously they don't do it in the name of Allah
(19:35):
and the Qur'an. They do it in the name of
the Democratic Party and in the name of communism or Marxism.
But my point is, a fanatic is a fanatic is
a fanatic, and a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.
You can't reason with these people, and there can be
(19:56):
no peaceful coexistence with these people because a as D
rightly said, if you didn't have an army of police yesterday,
there would have been violence. At a prayer vigil, again
over words and again words of peace, of reconciliation. Everybody
there at the prayer. Vigel was saying, please, let's pray
(20:18):
for the country. Let's pray for Charlie Kirk, for his
wife or his children, Let's pray for America. So I
don't know how much more accommodating you can be, how
much more peaceful you can be. And if Antifa finds
that a threat, and they're even getting old ladies now,
elderly citizens, elderly women, you know, Grandma moonback, Grandma to
(20:44):
show up and want to start throwing stones and glass
bottles and punching and kicking. And because they've got them
so indoctrinated and brainwashed, I'm worried what's gonna happen on Sunday.
I'm sorry I have to say it. I don't want
to say it, but I have to say it. So Look,
(21:06):
this is why ABC News rightly said about Jimmy Kimmel,
you gotta take this guy off the air. As you know,
the local these were local affiliates, next Star. These were
local stations, big markets that you know, our ABC affiliated stations.
They said, look, we don't need this. Our communities don't
(21:28):
want this anymore. We don't want this kind of hatred anymore.
We don't want this kind of incitement anymore. You're not
gonna stand there and lie about who was the murderer
of Charlie Kirk in order to keep inciting people. They
hate Maga and hate Trump like we're just this has
got to stop because or else it's gonna get worse.
(21:53):
There's gonna be more assassinations, more violence, more terrorism. Six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree.
All right, let's go to Eddie in Charlestown. Thanks for
holding Eddie, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Good man.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Jeff Hi Eddie.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I just got one question I want to make about Obama.
He's other than being a liar, and he contradicts everything.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
He thinks.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
The people are stupid. Maybe they are because of some
of them believe what he's saying. If I got one question,
does he actually think that Kelly Kirk deserved it, and
if he does, did not Luther King deserve it because
he died for the exact same reasons. So I want
(22:52):
Obama to answer that question.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well, Eddie, let me. I love the question, and I
think you get to you really have gotten to the
heart of the matter. He would lie because he's a
liar and he's slick, and he would say no, he
didn't deserve it. But then and that's what he did
a couple of days ago when he gave that interview.
But then he would give you all the reasons why
(23:18):
Charlie Kirk was such an evil person, and most of
it are lies. As I mentioned, you know, he should
you know, black women have smaller brains than a white women.
That's a lie. He then went on to say, you know,
he deployed slovery and so that we never should have
gotten rid of slavery. He never said that ever ever,
You're just lying, you know. He went on to say
(23:41):
he thought we should have kept Jim Crow in segregation.
You're a liar. He was against Jim Crow in segregation.
But in other words, he gives every reason why he
paints this picture of essentially of a Nazi, of a disgusting,
hate filled, big violent KKK loving fascist, white supremacist. So
(24:07):
it's like, no, he didn't deserve it, but wink wink,
he did.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let me be honest, daddy, I'm sorry, we have to
speak the truth. I'm telling you. In private, Obama said
he had it coming, and Jimmy Kimmel he had it coming.
I'm sure that's what Jimmy Kimmel, that's basically what he meant. Yeah,
you had it coming. And I could run down the
(24:36):
whole list. Look, I can't tell you how many millions
and millions of liberals, so called liberals, openly on social
media said what's the problem. He had it coming. He's
a maga. Of course, you kill magas come, of course.
Look as Fetterman, Senator John Fetterman, a liberal Democrat, openly said,
(24:57):
the moment you start comparing people to Hitler, that's an
incitement to kill them. It's an incitement to kill. That's
what it is. You're basically saying they're subhuman Nazi scum
who and they're not just that we're scum. You have
to understand. Is that we're a threat to democracy, is
(25:21):
that if you don't kill us, we're gonna kill them
that you and I, Eddie, this is what they really
believe that on this show every day we talk about
concentration camps and gas chambers and murdering every Democrat and
killing every liberal and imposing this fascist dictatorship and hauling
(25:44):
people off into death camps. Like that's what they think,
and that's what they're being indoctrinated into. So literally, for them,
they're thinking like, well, if we don't kill them, they're
gonna kill us. This is hitler. This is an existential
threat to democracy. And by the way, they don't stop.
(26:07):
They don't stop here on the other side, I gotta
do the call on Kooner's call logue now, but I'm
gonna play you a clip Rashida Talib in Congress Day
that day picked up where they left off. You gotta
see the exchange between her and Congressman Byron Donald. It's
gonna blow your mind. So, no, most liberals and most
(26:30):
Democrats honestly think Charlie Kirk had it coming. And his
most unforgivable sin was that he helped to get Trump reelected. Yeah,
he was threatening their power on college campuses, no question. Look,
let me say it. What they really think and what
(26:50):
they really believe. The only good Maga is dead. Maga.
They want not just Trump dead, they want jdv Advan's dead.
They want you dead, they want me dead. They want
every conservative Trump supporter either silenced, bullied, powed into submission,
(27:12):
or if you're a powerful voice like Charlie kirk boom.
That's what they've unleashed. That's what they've unleashed. That's what
ten years of relentless propaganda and relentless demonization and vilification,
(27:33):
that's what they've taken us to. And that's why you
can see it now. You've got universities, you've got hospitals,
You've got people saying, no, no, we're gonna they're gonna
start slaughtering people like this is gonna stop. No, you
can't cheer and celebrate the murder of an innocent man.
(27:55):
You're sick in the freaking head. Everybody senses we're just
a few more assassinations away, and god, it will tear
the country apart. That's why we have a duty to
crack down on left wing domestic terrorism. As I said,
(28:18):
this is a cancer. This is a cancer, and with cancer,
there's only two, there's only two. It only ends two ways.
Either you kill the cancer or the cancer kills you.
And that's why I support Trump designating Antifa a major
domestic terrorist organization all the way, all the way. And
(28:44):
those Antifa thugs that showed up yesterday that prayer vigil,
I'd arrest their asses on the spot. That's the equivalent
of Al Keata or ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood or
any other domestic terrorist or sorry, any other terrorist organization.
That's it. They're there to cause violence, that's what they're about.
(29:08):
And we're done. We're done, Eddie, thank you so much
for that question you put you hit you. You asked
the proverbial sixty four thousand dollars question. Okay, I'm a
tad late eight o'clock ish Friday. You know what that means.
Caller of the Week, Cooner's call Log.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
It's time for Cooner's call Log, where we showcase our
favorite color from the week.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I can hear you, can you hear me? Thanks for
holding Julie.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
I find this whole thing ironic with Jimmy Kimmel's high
holy moral attitude, and he supposedly espouses the belief of
the Democratic Party. When he got his start on TV
with the Men's Show and women jumping in bikinis on
trampoline and the song that he and Sarah Silverman did
(30:08):
with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. But yet he supposedly
is the one we're supposed to listen to him. Believe
I can honestly say I have never watched any of
the night shows, and I'm proud to say that, because
they're all discussing and hateful people. It just seemed like
we got away from comedy. And that's the whole issue,
(30:29):
is Johnny Carson.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
It's all about.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Making you laugh. These late night hosts are all about
pushing their agenda and.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
A democratic agenda.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
It's not about fun and lightheartedness anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
From Hollywood, it's Jimmy kim alive.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You fired, You're fired, your fire, You're fire, You fire,
your fire, you fire, You're fired, You're fired, you fired.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Be here every weekday on the Cooner Report between six
and ten am, and next week it could be you
on Cooner's call log.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Please don't be a stranger, call again, Dina m call
and honestly, this week, callers, you took it to another level.
I'm not kidding, by the way, I know I mentioned
this yesterday, but it's now been confirmed in multiple media outlets. Disney,
which owns ABC, actually had a conversation with Kimmel after
(31:28):
those incindiary, callous, stupid, hateful remarks, and they said, look,
we're just asking you apologize and walk it back, just
retract and let's move on. And even then even then
he said no, he refused to apologize. So, I mean,
(31:51):
I don't know what else to tell you. Don't go
on to me about the First Amendment or free speech.
By the way, just so that you know this, you
need to know this. In TV, in particular, the coveted demographic. Hey,
they're the one that advertisers look to is ages eighteen
to forty nine. Frankly, I don't know why people fifty
(32:14):
and above they don't care about. To me, people fifteen
above have a ton of disposable income. Okay, but let
that go. Hey, Look that's their business and that's their industry,
and you know that's that's the standard they judge in
terms of advertising revenue and demographics. So in that cup,
so that's to them, that's their business in that coveted
(32:37):
eighteen to forty nine demographic. Listen to this Jimmy Kimmel
only had one hundred and twenty nine thousand viewers, a pittance,
a paltry one hundred and twenty nine thousand viewers. And
(33:01):
to show you how his act was really wearing thin
even among hardcore socialists, okay, even among hardcore I'm talking moonbats, moonbats, okay,
hardcore leftists. Just in January, so what was that nine
months ago? He had two hundred and eighty eight thousand listeners,
(33:25):
which is still very small for late night comedy. Extremely
it's nothing. It's nothing, much lower than Colbert who has
very bad ratings, and much lower than Jimmy Fallon and
all the others. But he lost half his audience in
nine months. His super small two hundred and eighty eight
thousand went to one hundred and twenty nine thousand, which
(33:48):
is basically nothing in late night TV. You can't sell that.
That's why the show was losing so much money, and
why because all he did night after night it was
it was for nine months since Trump won the election
and was inaugurated, all he did every single night was
(34:09):
rage against Trump and Trump supporters. That's all he did,
to the point that hardly even the liberals found him
boring and and and and and and honestly and tiresome,
like it's the same show every night, the same political
bull you know, I can't say it, the same political
(34:29):
bs every night. So you've got no ratings. It's an embarrassment.
The company is losing money, a ton of money, they're
bleeding cash. You make some one of the most insulting,
incendiary comments you can make, You've got a massive backlash,
(34:52):
and they still throw you a lifeline and say, look,
just apologize, walk it back, and let's move on. Jimmy Nope, nope.
In fact, apparently he was gonna double down. And that's
when Disney said, this guy's crazy out out just cut
him loose, cut him loose, cut him loose. So please
(35:17):
don't talk to me about Jimmy Kimmel. In the First Amendment,
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, I want to ask all of you.
You obviously have now Obama pouring gasoline on the fire
blaming Trump. If you can believe it again, you liberalism
is a mental disorder, blaming President Trump for the climate
(00:24):
of political violence in our country and for the assassination
of Charlie Kirk. And there's something that Lou from Rhode
Island said maybe about half an hour ago, when he said,
it's as if the liberals now have put a fatwa
on Trump and in many ways on Trump's supporters. And
(00:47):
you know, I gotta tell you, I think this is
the major reason why you're seeing this massive backlash against everyone.
I don't care if it's nurses or teachers, or doctors,
or government employees, civil servants, or Jimmy Kimmel, the most
(01:08):
prominent example, well whatever to try not just celebrate the
death of Charlie Kirk, but to try to somehow blame
it on Magas supporters, to say that somehow Trump or
you or me or conservatives that somehow were to blame
(01:33):
for what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's part of the
continued dehumanization of us. You know, it's really it's very
similar to Hitler in the nineteen thirties. They love to
use the Hitler analogy. Well, let's use it. The Jews
were to blame for everything. They would escapegoat for everything.
(01:53):
So Nazis are killing people, the Jews are to blame.
It doesn't matter. So it's always the Jews. It's always
the Jews. Well, it's the same thing. It's always Maga,
it's always Trump. It doesn't matter how outrageous and atrocity
is that this was a clear pro transgender radical leftist.
(02:14):
I mean, you can't make it more obvious. No, it's
got to be Mega, it's got to be Trump. And
it really is like the secular liberal version of an
Islamist or an Islamic fatua kill them. What they're really
saying is that Trump is a cancer on America. That
(02:41):
Maga and all of his seventy eight million voters and
supporters are truly a cancer on America. We're to blame
for everything. Political extremism.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's US fascism, that's US racism, that's US white supremacy,
that's US authoritarianism, that's US assassinations, that's US. So Charlie
Kirk was Maga. He was almost I mean he campaigned
(03:18):
for Trump. In fact, he was indispensable. The Trump campaign
openly admitted this. Without Charlie Kirk, Trump would not have
won Arizona and most likely Wisconsin because he had such
an influence on the youth vote, meaning those eighteen to
twenty nine. So he loved President Trump, he supported President Trump,
(03:40):
practically agreed with him on every single issue, and he
campaigned for President Trump and was instrumental in Trump's victory.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But Trump killed Kirk. Maga killed Kirk. Which is the
disgusting smear and the disgusting lie that Jimmy Kimmel pedaled
on Monday Monday Night, which ended up getting him fired. Well,
what's the difference between what Kimmel said and what Obama said?
(04:14):
Except Obama does it in a bit more of a smooth,
polished you know, I'm putting this in air quotes presidentially.
He's not smirking and laughing and you know, making cracks
about he's mourning. Look, a four year old morns the
death of his goldfish. So without the crassness and the
(04:36):
vulgarity of a Jimmy Kimmel but the message is the same.
The message is absolutely the same. And so let me
ask all of you this. Now that Charlie Kirk is
going to be buried on Sunday, It's going to be
a massive funeral. President Trump will be there speaking. JD.
(04:59):
Vance will be there speaking, apparently, Pete Hegseth will be
speaking many obviously, Erica, his wife, will be speaking. It
is going to be in front of in a stadium.
It is going to be I mean, it's going to
be packed to the raftors, to the rafters, forgive me.
It's going to be covered live. The whole world will
(05:22):
be watching. And also in the wake of that beautiful, touching,
powerful vigil yesterday in Boston at the steps of the
State Legislature to commemorate and honor Charlie Kirk, let me
ask all of you, was the death of Charlie Kirk
(05:46):
in many ways the result of a fat wa, Not
a formal fat wa, obviously, but an informal fat wa.
And do you believe that conservatives are being hunted, that
we are under siege, that the left, Obama in particular,
(06:12):
but the media, the Democratic Party bear responsibility for what
happened because of the culture and climate of hatred and
vilification and villainization and really of dehumanization that they have unleashed.
Six one seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight
(06:34):
is the number. Just once. I want to go to
d on Cape Cod, but just super super quick, I
need to say this. Obama, when he was giving that
interview with Steve Scully where he went on and blamed Trump,
if you can believe it, for the assassination of Charlie
Kirk and said, all this political extremism, now that's you know,
(06:57):
tearing the country apart. That's all mad that's all Trump
and his allies. He lied. I mean, obviously he lied
about Trump and MAGA, but he was listing stuff that
allegedly Charlie Kirk believed in. And half of what he
said that Charlie Kirk allegedly espoused was a blatant lie.
(07:21):
And one of them and they keep mentioning this, which
is a disgusting lie, is that Kirk supposedly, according to them,
claimed that black women's brains were smaller than that of
white women. He never said that, he never came close
to saying that. That is from a Washington Post editor
(07:46):
and columnist, a die hard moonbat who literally fabricated that quote.
She just made it up, like literally made it up.
And that's why this was maybe a week ago. The
Post fired her for committing the most serious crime a
journalist can commit, literally making up a quote. I mean
(08:10):
even a ninth grade high school newspaper would fire a
so called journalist or report it for that. And so
the Post said no, he never Her own editor said no,
he never said that. You made that up. You literally
made the whole quote up. So they had to fire her.
But it doesn't matter. They took that quote Obama did
(08:34):
many on the internet, on Blue Sky, that's where all
the crazy liberals go on social media. Jasmine Crockett's been
using it, AOC has been using it, Elizabeth Warren's been
using it. It's a lie, he never said it. It's
a smear. And this is the only way the left
(08:58):
can deal with this is he by making stuff up.
Or and this is what they're hinting at, wink wink.
He had it coming. Oh you was such a hater.
He was such a racist. Of course he was going
to get shot and killed. Honestly, these people are disgusting
six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
(09:22):
D on Cape cod Thanks for holding d and welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Thank you Jeff and first time caller.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I will the screener.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm going to be sending you. I have some cell
phone video of Antifa from last night, and I'll get
that to you via email. What happened last night was
quite an experience. Very briefly, I lived in Back Bay
for years, todd at Boston Universities in the area, and
(09:53):
so my point is experienced a number of events and
in those of protests. So what I saw last night
with the group of about thirty from Antifa was words dangerous,
and the police were phenomenal. Their presence I don't know
if the glober hell will cover this, Jeff was extensive,
(10:17):
and the helicopters flying above. I had a white poster
with the Christian symbol with the fish, and I was
one of those people that Antifa was right across from me,
and I held up my poster and the police were
flanked behind all of us. But one thing I wanted
to bring to mind is never did I feel in danger,
(10:40):
even though they were loud and it was very palatable.
What I found interesting in telling was something that I've
seen just in you know, reaching out. We've got our
fiftieth reunion coming up on Facebook with old friends or whatever,
and just seeing women in my age being radicalized and
(11:01):
it's extreme, Jeff. So it says a lot about what's
being planted internally in this country. And last night we
were a group of us were confronted by women my age,
and I was I felt more in danger of them.
But once again, when I turned around, there were about
(11:22):
one hundred police officers behind six of us. With those
women across from us, we were you know, vis a
v with them, and that was a you know, very
could have been a very dangerous situation if the barricades
weren't there.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well D, by the way, I'm so thankful A that
you've called, and B that you're going to be sending
me that video footage uh D for your first time calling.
By the way, you've done an amazing job, really really
good job.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Uh D.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I gotta ask you, say the police were not there,
just for argument's sake, say there or there was like
one or two police officers. In other words, it was
not a heavy let's say, there would not have been
a heavy police presence with those people that are so
radicalized they hate conservatives, they hate Charlie Kirk, they hate you,
(12:09):
they hate us. Would there have been violence? Would Antifa
and some of these elderly ladies, would they have started
to spit on people, throw things at people, attack people
in your.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Opinion, Jeff, I have to speak with you right now,
and I want to speak with you, and I want
to speak with anyone listening from the White House Office.
My background all includes political communication and political protests rhetoric.
I'll answer your question by saying, if there were not
(12:44):
police presence there last night, and I don't say this lightly,
there would have been attacks. I would have been attacked, Jeff.
I would have been physically attacked. As a matter of fact.
I told it up my Christian signage and put it
in a barrow and walk down near the Popstreet church
(13:05):
where they were still protesting, and they were protesting loud,
and they were their language was absolutely grotesque, and people
were walking by looking at them, visitors to the Boston
area in disgust. But they you know, they would look
the other way. But to the Trump administration, yes, violence absolutely,
(13:32):
and I don't say that every day, Jeff. That's what
I saw last night.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
D I've only got one by their riveting. I've only
got one minute left, so I need you to be
really quick and to the point. D. Some of the
footage that I got from members of Kooner Country that
were there showed exactly what you're saying now. The look
on some of their eyes, these Antifa thugs. D Am
I wrong to say? Those were the eyes? I mean,
(14:00):
hardcore fanatics, people full of rage, the profound hatred, almost psychotic.
Am I wrong? The very quick thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Jeff, No, you're not. I've just got to say You're
not wrong at all. That's those are the eyes I
looked into. But equally important, the women my age people
that grew up.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, the more elderly people were just they're almost just
as crazy, and you felt even unsafe around them. D.
Dyna might call, thank you so much and please send
me that footage. I look forward to seeing it. Thank
you again, and d don't be a stranger. Call again.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
(14:45):
is the number. Okay. A lot of people now want
to weigh in, obviously on everything that's been happening. Huge
funeral plan for Charlie Kirk on Friday, President Trump will
be speaking. J the events will be speaking. Many members
of the administration are going to be there speaking as
(15:06):
well as obviously Erica Kirk is going to be speaking
as well. It's going to have international media. It will
be covered live. This You know, many are now saying,
for our generation, this is our JFK. People are now
making comparisons to the assassination of John F. Kennedy that
(15:30):
years from now people are going to be asking themselves
the moment Charlie Kirk was murdered, was shot, where were you?
Where were you at that fateful moment? This is now
the atmosphere, the feeling now that many say is starting
to come over so many Americans in the tragic in
(15:55):
the wake of the tragic death and murder of Charlie Kirk.
Seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number.
Bruce in Woburn. Thanks for holding Bruce, and welcome boy.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Those Antifa moonbats, Bruce, Apparently there was quite a few
of them yesterday at that prayer vigil. They were out enforced.
My friend, Bruce, Buddy, what do you make of all this?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, the pen is mightier than the sword. Unfortunately, I
believe the other side go with the violence against them
like they go against us. But we're not that kind
of dude. So the proof is in the pudding. It's
all coming out Obama show Rose. They're all responsible for
(16:58):
ruining Europe with all the invasions and everything that we've
been going through in this country. But just remember, Charlie
Kirk was sacrificed for us, like you were almost sacrificed
for us, And I hold you in the highest esteem,
(17:21):
and I'm worried about you, but not really because you've
got people. We got people, we got Jesus Christ and
the Lord God Almighty that are watching out for us.
So we got to eliminate these and Chief's Black lives matter.
(17:47):
Anybody that wants to disrupt what really is going on
here with the freedom of speech, say use it against us,
like they can say and do whatever they want to do,
but we can't speak out against them. Well, communism at
its highest, highest support.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh you're dead on, Bruce, if you don't mind me asking,
what what is that noise in the background. It's like
there's like a chainsaw or something.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I know it's chipping up tile at this apartment building.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, I just I'm like it's like you guys are
taking a chainsaw to like, you know, a tree or something.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
A machine gun.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm thinking, like, what are you guys
battling Antifa out there? All right, Bruce, stay safe, Thank
you for that call. God bless you, my friend. Keep
on working, buddy. Uh, that's Cooner country. They're calling as
they're working. Okay, No, he's right. Look, my fear is
(18:50):
that I think, Look, the country's on a razor's edge.
Let's look at each other. And when d described these
Antifa types that were there yesterday and they're all over
the country, the crazy eyes, the fanaticism, the use of
the easily, how they can resort to violence, the pure hatred,
(19:13):
the obscenities, the profanities, almost the political and the insanity
of them. How unaninged and deranged they are. I'm gonna
be honest with you, I'm thinking Islamic terrorists jahadists, except
obviously they don't do it in the name of Allah
(19:35):
and the Qur'an. They do it in the name of
the Democratic Party and in the name of communism or Marxism.
But my point is, a fanatic is a fanatic is
a fanatic, and a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.
You can't reason with these people, and there can be
(19:56):
no peaceful coexistence with these people because a as D
rightly said, if you didn't have an army of police yesterday,
there would have been violence. At a prayer vigil, again
over words and again words of peace, of reconciliation. Everybody
there at the prayer. Vigel was saying, please, let's pray
(20:18):
for the country. Let's pray for Charlie Kirk, for his
wife or his children, Let's pray for America. So I
don't know how much more accommodating you can be, how
much more peaceful you can be. And if Antifa finds
that a threat, and they're even getting old ladies now,
elderly citizens, elderly women, you know, Grandma moonback, Grandma to
(20:44):
show up and want to start throwing stones and glass
bottles and punching and kicking. And because they've got them
so indoctrinated and brainwashed, I'm worried what's gonna happen on Sunday.
I'm sorry I have to say it. I don't want
to say it, but I have to say it. So Look,
(21:06):
this is why ABC News rightly said about Jimmy Kimmel,
you gotta take this guy off the air. As you know,
the local these were local affiliates, next Star. These were
local stations, big markets that you know, our ABC affiliated stations.
They said, look, we don't need this. Our communities don't
(21:28):
want this anymore. We don't want this kind of hatred anymore.
We don't want this kind of incitement anymore. You're not
gonna stand there and lie about who was the murderer
of Charlie Kirk in order to keep inciting people. They
hate Maga and hate Trump like we're just this has
got to stop because or else it's gonna get worse.
(21:53):
There's gonna be more assassinations, more violence, more terrorism. Six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree.
All right, let's go to Eddie in Charlestown. Thanks for
holding Eddie, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Good man.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Jeff Hi Eddie.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I just got one question I want to make about Obama.
He's other than being a liar, and he contradicts everything.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
He thinks.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
The people are stupid. Maybe they are because of some
of them believe what he's saying. If I got one question,
does he actually think that Kelly Kirk deserved it, and
if he does, did not Luther King deserve it because
he died for the exact same reasons. So I want
(22:52):
Obama to answer that question.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well, Eddie, let me. I love the question, and I
think you get to you really have gotten to the
heart of the matter. He would lie because he's a
liar and he's slick, and he would say no, he
didn't deserve it. But then and that's what he did
a couple of days ago when he gave that interview.
But then he would give you all the reasons why
(23:18):
Charlie Kirk was such an evil person, and most of
it are lies. As I mentioned, you know, he should
you know, black women have smaller brains than a white women.
That's a lie. He then went on to say, you know,
he deployed slovery and so that we never should have
gotten rid of slavery. He never said that ever ever,
You're just lying, you know. He went on to say
(23:41):
he thought we should have kept Jim Crow in segregation.
You're a liar. He was against Jim Crow in segregation.
But in other words, he gives every reason why he
paints this picture of essentially of a Nazi, of a disgusting,
hate filled, big violent KKK loving fascist, white supremacist. So
(24:07):
it's like, no, he didn't deserve it, but wink wink,
he did.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Let me be honest, daddy, I'm sorry, we have to
speak the truth. I'm telling you. In private, Obama said
he had it coming, and Jimmy Kimmel he had it coming.
I'm sure that's what Jimmy Kimmel, that's basically what he meant. Yeah,
you had it coming. And I could run down the
(24:36):
whole list. Look, I can't tell you how many millions
and millions of liberals, so called liberals, openly on social
media said what's the problem. He had it coming. He's
a maga. Of course, you kill magas come, of course.
Look as Fetterman, Senator John Fetterman, a liberal Democrat, openly said,
(24:57):
the moment you start comparing people to Hitler, that's an
incitement to kill them. It's an incitement to kill. That's
what it is. You're basically saying they're subhuman Nazi scum
who and they're not just that we're scum. You have
to understand. Is that we're a threat to democracy, is
(25:21):
that if you don't kill us, we're gonna kill them
that you and I, Eddie, this is what they really
believe that on this show every day we talk about
concentration camps and gas chambers and murdering every Democrat and
killing every liberal and imposing this fascist dictatorship and hauling
(25:44):
people off into death camps. Like that's what they think,
and that's what they're being indoctrinated into. So literally, for them,
they're thinking like, well, if we don't kill them, they're
gonna kill us. This is hitler. This is an existential
threat to democracy. And by the way, they don't stop.
(26:07):
They don't stop here on the other side, I gotta
do the call on Kooner's call logue now, but I'm
gonna play you a clip Rashida Talib in Congress Day
that day picked up where they left off. You gotta
see the exchange between her and Congressman Byron Donald. It's
gonna blow your mind. So, no, most liberals and most
(26:30):
Democrats honestly think Charlie Kirk had it coming. And his
most unforgivable sin was that he helped to get Trump reelected. Yeah,
he was threatening their power on college campuses, no question. Look,
let me say it. What they really think and what
(26:50):
they really believe. The only good Maga is dead. Maga.
They want not just Trump dead, they want jdv Advan's dead.
They want you dead, they want me dead. They want
every conservative Trump supporter either silenced, bullied, powed into submission,
(27:12):
or if you're a powerful voice like Charlie kirk boom.
That's what they've unleashed. That's what they've unleashed. That's what
ten years of relentless propaganda and relentless demonization and vilification,
(27:33):
that's what they've taken us to. And that's why you
can see it now. You've got universities, you've got hospitals,
You've got people saying, no, no, we're gonna they're gonna
start slaughtering people like this is gonna stop. No, you
can't cheer and celebrate the murder of an innocent man.
(27:55):
You're sick in the freaking head. Everybody senses we're just
a few more assassinations away, and god, it will tear
the country apart. That's why we have a duty to
crack down on left wing domestic terrorism. As I said,
(28:18):
this is a cancer. This is a cancer, and with cancer,
there's only two, there's only two. It only ends two ways.
Either you kill the cancer or the cancer kills you.
And that's why I support Trump designating Antifa a major
domestic terrorist organization all the way, all the way. And
(28:44):
those Antifa thugs that showed up yesterday that prayer vigil,
I'd arrest their asses on the spot. That's the equivalent
of Al Keata or ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood or
any other domestic terrorist or sorry, any other terrorist organization.
That's it. They're there to cause violence, that's what they're about.
(29:08):
And we're done. We're done, Eddie, thank you so much
for that question you put you hit you. You asked
the proverbial sixty four thousand dollars question. Okay, I'm a
tad late eight o'clock ish Friday. You know what that means.
Caller of the Week, Cooner's call Log.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
It's time for Cooner's call Log, where we showcase our
favorite color from the week.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I can hear you, can you hear me? Thanks for
holding Julie.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
I find this whole thing ironic with Jimmy Kimmel's high
holy moral attitude, and he supposedly espouses the belief of
the Democratic Party. When he got his start on TV
with the Men's Show and women jumping in bikinis on
trampoline and the song that he and Sarah Silverman did
(30:08):
with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. But yet he supposedly
is the one we're supposed to listen to him. Believe
I can honestly say I have never watched any of
the night shows, and I'm proud to say that, because
they're all discussing and hateful people. It just seemed like
we got away from comedy. And that's the whole issue,
(30:29):
is Johnny Carson.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
It's all about.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Making you laugh. These late night hosts are all about
pushing their agenda and.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
A democratic agenda.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
It's not about fun and lightheartedness anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
From Hollywood, it's Jimmy kim alive.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You fired, You're fired, your fire, You're fire, You fire,
your fire, you fire, You're fired, You're fired, you fired.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Be here every weekday on the Cooner Report between six
and ten am, and next week it could be you
on Cooner's call log.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Please don't be a stranger, call again, Dina m call
and honestly, this week, callers, you took it to another level.
I'm not kidding, by the way, I know I mentioned
this yesterday, but it's now been confirmed in multiple media outlets. Disney,
which owns ABC, actually had a conversation with Kimmel after
(31:28):
those incindiary, callous, stupid, hateful remarks, and they said, look,
we're just asking you apologize and walk it back, just
retract and let's move on. And even then even then
he said no, he refused to apologize. So, I mean,
(31:51):
I don't know what else to tell you. Don't go
on to me about the First Amendment or free speech.
By the way, just so that you know this, you
need to know this. In TV, in particular, the coveted demographic. Hey,
they're the one that advertisers look to is ages eighteen
to forty nine. Frankly, I don't know why people fifty
(32:14):
and above they don't care about. To me, people fifteen
above have a ton of disposable income. Okay, but let
that go. Hey, Look that's their business and that's their industry,
and you know that's that's the standard they judge in
terms of advertising revenue and demographics. So in that cup,
so that's to them, that's their business in that coveted
(32:37):
eighteen to forty nine demographic. Listen to this Jimmy Kimmel
only had one hundred and twenty nine thousand viewers, a pittance,
a paltry one hundred and twenty nine thousand viewers. And
(33:01):
to show you how his act was really wearing thin
even among hardcore socialists, okay, even among hardcore I'm talking moonbats, moonbats, okay,
hardcore leftists. Just in January, so what was that nine
months ago? He had two hundred and eighty eight thousand listeners,
(33:25):
which is still very small for late night comedy. Extremely
it's nothing. It's nothing, much lower than Colbert who has
very bad ratings, and much lower than Jimmy Fallon and
all the others. But he lost half his audience in
nine months. His super small two hundred and eighty eight
thousand went to one hundred and twenty nine thousand, which
(33:48):
is basically nothing in late night TV. You can't sell that.
That's why the show was losing so much money, and
why because all he did night after night it was
it was for nine months since Trump won the election
and was inaugurated, all he did every single night was
(34:09):
rage against Trump and Trump supporters. That's all he did,
to the point that hardly even the liberals found him
boring and and and and and and honestly and tiresome,
like it's the same show every night, the same political
bull you know, I can't say it, the same political
(34:29):
bs every night. So you've got no ratings. It's an embarrassment.
The company is losing money, a ton of money, they're
bleeding cash. You make some one of the most insulting,
incendiary comments you can make, You've got a massive backlash,
(34:52):
and they still throw you a lifeline and say, look,
just apologize, walk it back, and let's move on. Jimmy Nope, nope.
In fact, apparently he was gonna double down. And that's

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
