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):
Joining me now as she always does at this time,
doctor Grace, putting liberals in their place, Grace of WOTO
full disclosure and yes, I'm married up. She's my better half. Grace.
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I am very well, Jeff, thank you so much, and
a big thank you to Sandy for all she did
during our time of needs. Jeff.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean she was outstanding. She was there for us, outstanding,
outstanding in every way, and I can't thank her enough.
I thanked her privately, but I want to thank her
publicly as well. Grace, I gotta ask you. Let me
just go right to it. Trump has succeeded in cleaning
up crime in DC. It took him less than a month.
(00:54):
He wants to take it to Chicago, to Boston, to
New York, to LA to Atlanta, to Seattle, to Portland,
to all of these blue cities everywhere. Every single mayor,
every single governor, Democrat mayor and governor is saying Trump
is not welcome. The National Guard is not welcome, Federal
(01:15):
law enforcement's not welcome. They're basically saying, we don't want
the crime to go away. Why why don't they want
to cooperate with Trump and have him bring in the
National Guard?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Jeff, what Trump has done is absolutely brilliant, and the
game is up now. He has shown the country and
the world that America doesn't have to have a crime problem,
that this can be resolved. And so now you actually
have the governor of California, the governor of Maryland, the
governor of New Mexico. They're saying, we don't want your
(01:53):
help because we're going to bolster law enforcement. So shazam,
now gonna do it. Now they want to do it.
Guess what it's because now they must do it. There
is a public outcry. Trump is the only one who
responded to it. His success. Seems every blue state governor,
(02:17):
every Blue state mayor, and they have no choice now
but to actually resolve the situation. But they don't want
to let Trump get the credit for it. So that's
what the game is going to be now. It's all
politics for them. Any honest person, any honest leader, would say, yes,
we need the help, come in and help us, let's
(02:39):
get it done. Who cares who gets the credit? They
don't want to give him the credit because he can
sail you know, his part our party, that the Republican
Party can sail to a huge victory. If this success
keeps shining through.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What do you say to the argument? And you know
you and I agree on this completely, but let me
just play devil's advocate. What do you say to the argument?
Pritzker makes it, Heally makes it, Kal makes it. Newsome
also makes it as well, that sending in the National Guard,
say to a city like Chicago or New York, or
(03:14):
la or Boston, if it's not invited by the governor
and by the mayor, then it's illegal. It's a constitutional
overreach on the part of Trump, and that he's the
facto behaving like a military dictator. What say you that?
In other words, it's an invasion, as Pritzker put it,
you send the National Guard to Chicago, it is an invasion,
(03:37):
and we will treat it like an invasion. What say you?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That is absolute nonsense. He should do it, and if
they want to battle it out in court, let them
battle it out in court. And by the time they
do so, he'll have shown the public that this is
a situation that could always have been resolved. And that's
really ultimately just what they're ting horrified of, because, as
(04:02):
we know on this program, what Democratic leaders want to
do is they want to keep the people in a
subservient position, in a weakened position. They don't want strong
American individuals free and safe, because the more that happens,
the less dependent they are on the government for anything.
(04:24):
And so this is why they need to keep their
agenda in place, and in order to do so, they're
going to use any argument they can think of to
prevent the public from seeing how easy it is to
actually resolve the crime problem. Trump should just ignore them
and go ahead and do what he needs to do.
The public supports him. You know, Don Lemon did an
interview in the streets of Baltimore, Don Lemon, formerly of CNN,
(04:46):
and the people were saying, yeah, we want him to come.
And it is because they have failed. They have failed
to do their basic job as leaders.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Grace, I know you said to me last night you
found yesterday's show very different, dificult to listen to. After
a while, you couldn't listen because of what happened. As
I described the bloody murder, the slaughter of Irina Zarutska,
a Ukrainian refugee, a legal immigrant. She was on that
(05:15):
light rail car in Charlotte, sat down in front of
the Carlos Brown fourteen times arrested, a career criminal, a
violent schizophrenic, a violent mentally ill man, and from behind,
completely unprovoked, he stabbed her in the neck three times
and she literally bled to death right there on the train.
(05:38):
I've got to ask you this question. Many people are
now saying it is time for Congress to step in,
and Trump says he supports this to pass legislation to
make these liberal, soft on crime, pro criminal judges responsible
and accountable for their decisions. And so that magistrate Judge
(06:02):
Stokes is her last name, Teresa Stokes, who released this
savage into the public. And he went on to then
murder Irena Zarutzka, that she should be removed from the bench,
and that yes, she should also go to jail, because
had she not let him out, he would be as
(06:23):
she would be. Had she not let Brown out, Zarutzka
would be alive today. Is it time now to have
judges face the consequences of their reckless, irresponsible, negligent decisions.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Jeff, Yes, I agree with that one hundred percent. There
should be a basic standard. For example, when you have
a criminal that we know that he has this violent record,
this is known, and then there is a crime that
is repeated based on a judge's decision, that is an
act of negligence. That judge did not do the job properly.
(07:02):
At a minimum instant removal. But there should be more
consequences than that. And I think we've got to get
tough on these judges because this crazy ideology gets innocent
people killed. It is unacceptable. That is an outrageous story
and everybody should say her name, just like we did
with that nurse during the twenty twenty four campaign where
(07:26):
we were shaming the Democrats about the rivals we're doing.
That's correct, we were shaming them. Yes, we were shaming
Biden and the Democrats and Harris and it should be
the same because this is one of those cases where
it could be anybody that is the victim of such
a crime and it shouldn't have happened easily preventable.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Grace, you've got about two minutes left. Let me ask
you this, this brown character. Do we have a problem
with the violently mentally ill? And let me add to
this the fact that so many on that train did nothing.
(08:07):
And I'm not talking about the first five or ten
seconds everybody's in shock. I mean thirty seconds, forty seconds,
fifty seconds, a minute later, where she's bleeding to death
and everybody's just looking at her. Nobody called nine to
one one, no one did a thing. Eventually someone did
come to her aid, but by then she was practically dead.
(08:30):
What is happening in our society is the era, as
we put in our poll, question, is the era of
good Samaritans.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Over you know, that's a really good question, Jeff. I
think when you talked about what happened to you in
Croatia and you mentioned the difference between other nations and America,
I agree with what you said that in America usually
we respond immediately to people in duress. I you know,
at a hotel, I burned to my finger with a
(09:01):
coffee accident, and people rush to me like immediately, even
the hotel staff. And I was just amazing. It was
such a minor accident, to the point I was saying,
I'm fine, I'm fine, everybody, I'm fine. They were all
over me. And yet sometimes we're seeing the creeping disregard
for human life in this country that we see in
other countries, and we have to put a stop to it.
(09:24):
We can't become like them. That's savagery, that is, you know,
knocking on our door, and we've got to prevent it.
I think a great deal of the problem is this
dependency on devices. It is dehumanizing all of us slowly.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh, you're talking about the cell phones, the iPhone, social media.
You're saying you think that's a key part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yes, key part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes, Sorry, Mike, Mike. Mike is dying to cut you off.
Mike is twenty seconds fifty. He loves it. He loves it.
If he could cut us off, Doctor Grace, thank you
so much. We'll talk to you again next week, same time,
same place.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
If Jeff doesn't get a day off. This request came
