The Lying Media

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one six eight six eight. This is Sandy Shack
sitting in for Jeff Cooner here on the Kooner Report.
Lies the media tells or what we're talking about a lot.
They've been taking a lot of liberties lately. They have
been for a while. But I thought it would get better.
It hasn't. They put out misrepresentation by editing Christy Nome

(00:26):
over the weekend in her response on Face the Nation
regarding Kilmar Abergo Garcia. They misrepresent illegals and claim that
they're firefighters fighting wildfires instead of chopping wood. They misrepresent
Guatemalan children, which the Trump administration administration are trying to

(00:48):
repatriate to Guatemala and their parents as abandoned and stateless.
They're creating an air where people think that there is
a dire situation that makes it reason to respond with violence.
That is the problem that we have here, creating a

(01:09):
dangerous mindset where people already predisposed to think that something
horrible is happening, that it's even worse than they thought,
and the lies are so great that they think it's
reasonable to physically respond. Resorting to violence to protest becomes

(01:30):
acceptable with these kinds of lies, these people who lie,
be it the media or government officials or party officials.
They're claiming that the current government is incompetent and slowly
leading the country toward an authoritarian regime. And former President

(01:52):
Obama and his water carrier, former AG Eric Holder, did
exactly that this past week. I want you to listen
to it Cut twenty one.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Please, Mike, Hey, everybody, let's Barack and I am here
with my good friend, Attorney General Eric Holder because we're
facing an existential threat to our democracy and we need your.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Help right now.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
In states across the country like Texas and Florida, these
extreme conservative politicians are announcing and acting on plans to
slice and dice house districts with the goal of preserving
their own power while diluting the voting power of communities
of color. They're doing the same thing in Ohio, trying
to give one party control over almost ninety percent of
congressional seats. Rather than facing their voters at the polls

(02:40):
next year, they're trying to silence them instead.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Eric and I started the NBERC to win fights like this.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
So if you want your voice to be heard in
next year's at midterm elections and beyond help us meet
this moment and preserve our democracy.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So NDRC is the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and what
they're doing is telling people that Donald Trump is an
existential threat to democracy, that he's going to take away
your right to vote, and the world is going to change.
Our country's going to hell in a handbasket, and you
have to do something about it. Is this chining up fear?

(03:22):
What do people do when they're afraid? Many turn to violence.
So when the media promotes this, when people like Obama
and Eric Holder promote this, are they telling little white
lies or are they in fact promoting violence? Mark from Connecticut,
Welcome to WRKO. How are you Mark?

Speaker 7 (03:44):
Good morning? I'm good. And you know, my trust for
the press started with Rush. Remember the whole gravitas Bush needed,
gravitask GRAVI tosk right, you know, over and over and over,
go with the gravitas. And then you know, Trump and
Rush would point out other things. You know, they all
say the same thing, the same way, and then that

(04:06):
was kind of a tool, so you know, pick up
this stuff. And uh really, when COVID hit, I didn't
believe any of it. So I never wore a mask.
I didn't get any shots or anything for it and stuff,
and because I didn't trust them, and uh, you know
that's where it all started for me. Anyways, And you
know the great Rush Limbaugh.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, did you see the rumor of the weekend that
President Trump was dead?

Speaker 8 (04:30):
No?

Speaker 7 (04:31):
I actually didn't. I see, I had eleven days in
a row off and during those times, I don't watch
any news. I don't. I hate sad. I'm gonna listen
to you guys or anything. I just you know, I yes, completely, yeah, yeah.
I don't blame it, because you know.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
You need to.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
So this is the first I was hearing about. It
was this morning, and I called my wife after I
heard you, and I said, honey, Trump is dead. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
No, But but people believed it. People believed it for a
good twenty four to thirty six hours because you know,
they they're ready to believe anything that the media tells them.
And the problem is we've been lied to for so long.
The people who didn't believe it are people like you,
people like me, people like your wife are like, I
don't trust anything the media says. So no, I'm not

(05:21):
gonna I'm not gonna believe what they're doing. But these lies, Mark,
they're not innocent, meaning you know they have a they
have an agenda one. But two, they cause a very
bad response. And I don't mean bad is in somebody
does something you don't agree with. I mean bad is
in physical response. People get violent over that. You had

(05:43):
somebody who cared so much they tried to kill President
Trump and Butler Pennsylvania. That is what these lies lead to.
They you have, you know, people trying to kill Supreme
Court justices. You have and whenever you hear this, you
know democracy thing, meaning that Donald Trump is in excess
to threat to democracy, which is a phrase used over
and over and over again by members of the Democrat

(06:05):
Party from President Biden to President Obama, to Eric Holder
to Nancy Pelosi to Chuck Schumer, all of them have
used this phrase. What they're doing is inciting violence. They're
making people think that this is their moment in time
and they have to stand up like the revolutionaries did
against the British in the seventeen hundreds, and this is

(06:27):
their moment and they need to do it. And what
they're promoting is violence in civil war. Do you think
I'm overreacting?

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Oh no, there's a lot of sick people, people like
you and me, like, when I hear something, i'll like,
my first inclination is not to go kill somebody, you know,
silly me, you know.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And there are a lot of people who think that
these people are speaking directly to them and it's a
call to arms, and so this is not just political posturing.
To me, this is dangerous what doing. And I don't
I mean, and you can't put this back in the bottle.
Once you let it out, once you speak to these people,

(07:07):
they it's hard to talk them back down again. And
so I think you see that, and that can happen
on both sides of the aisle, Let's be honest. It
can happen on both the Republican side and the Democrat side,
but it seems to me to be more and more
on the liberal side that you're hearing fighting words, and
fighting words are are those that incite violence. So I
find it. I'm somewhat distressed by it, and I and

(07:30):
I like to nip it in the bud whenever I
see it. So thank you, thank you so much for
the call, Mark. I appreciate it. And you add to
the atmosphere of violence that's being ginned up by the
Democratic Party and the lack of crime prosecution that has
become the hallmark of the Blue cities. And you know,

(07:53):
you can you can riot, you won't be prosecuted. You
can vandalize, you won't be prosecuted. You can shoplift, you
won't be prospit acuted. You put those two things together
and you have a tinderbox of crime and violence, and
that is what we're living through now. So in in essence,

(08:13):
I think the lies told by the Democratic Party, coupled
with the sorrowsdas, have created a very dangerous situation for
most Americans. Six six sixty eight sixty eight is the
number here. This is Sandy Shack sitting in for Jeff
Cooner here on the Kooner Report. Lies the media are
telling have along with conjunction with the last administration's reluctant

(08:38):
reluctance uh to call a crime a crime. You know,
legals are not committing a crime by being here that
permissions Basically, shoplifters, vandals, rioters are not criminals. And you
know Republicans are so bad they're destroying democracy. All that
have created a horrible era of crime and violence and

(08:59):
have country with both of those things, and this is
what the Blue mayors and governors have wrought. And because
the crime can be placed squarely at their feet, the
Democrats have no choice but to either fix it or
ignore it. And they can't fix it without admitting that

(09:20):
they are responsible for it, so they ignore it. And
I have a pretty funny example of that. Well, at
least I find it funny. You may just find it sad.
In her most recent one of her most recent press
releases or posts on social media, the New York Congresswoman
Alexandria Acasio Cortez AKAAOC is bragging about the new trash

(09:45):
cans that she caused to be placed along something called
the Avenue of Sweethearts, which, if you are unfamiliar, is
Roosevelt Avenue and Queens still the greatest place for one
stop stopping for prostitution, drugs, and gangs. That's according to
the New York Post it is, you know, it is
a hotbed of crime. But she trumpeted on social media

(10:08):
how she successfully pushed to have dozens of new trash
cans placed on Roosevelt Avenue while ignoring what the real
issue is. And of course she was immediately, much like
Rosie O'Donnell lying, she was immediately mocked for ignoring the
parade of John's pimps and prostitutes flooding this market of

(10:29):
Sweethearts on Roosevelt Avenue. One candidate for city council was shocked,
saying celebrating garbage cans is like putting sprinkles on bleep
and calling it a birthday cake. It's all for show.
Of course, AOC won't speak about what's really happening here
so she can keep up the facade that her district

(10:49):
is amazing and at paradise. You can't make this up.
Queen's residents are pretty upset, I mean, because they've been
looking for help with the real problems that they're facing.
You know, they've been begging for help with the plague
of prostitution, illegal street vendors, gangs who got a foothold

(11:11):
in the area due to the migrant crisis. They basically
urge the FBI recently to look into the market of
Sweethearts alleged links to organized crime. But while her constituents
are struggling with the rampant crime along the avenue of
the Sweethearts, AOC is, you know, off on a whistle
step stop campaign with Bernie Sanders to promote socialism and

(11:35):
you know, the garden of Eden in which her constituents live, which,
as we just discussing, is not really there. So as
the crime escalates, what are the Democrats doing? What AOC
is doing is turning a blind eye, you know, as
you guessed, you know, basically lying biomission almost about what

(11:58):
the conditions are in her district, you know. And if
they're not lying about conditions, they're lying about the crime rate,
you know, lying about needing help, specifically lying about needing
President Trump's help, because he can be the solution. But
they don't want that because if he's the solution for something,

(12:20):
then it means they made a mistake or they won't
get votes in the next election. And President Trump has
successfully cleaned up DC to a huge extent. And you
don't have to take my word for it, you can
take the word of former Trump doubter DC Mayor Muriel

(12:41):
Bowser Cut number nine, please, Mike.

Speaker 9 (12:47):
We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what
MPD has been able to do in this city. The
most significant thing that we are highlighting today is the

(13:07):
area of crime that was most troubling for us in
twenty twenty three. Now we have driven it down over
the last years. But for carjackings, the difference between this period,
this twenty day period of this federal surge and last
year represents a eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings in

(13:33):
Washington DC. We know that when carjackings go down, when
the use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery
go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So this
surge has been important to us.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
According to Mayor Bowser, he basically fixed DC. She admitted it.
Do you think that other Democrats will do the same
or will they wrap others see their cities go up
in flames and accept Donald Trump's health because if they
accept his help, they have to admit they were wrong
and that they lied. Kevin in Newton, welcome to WRKO.
How are you? Kevin?

Speaker 8 (14:13):
Mandy and I want to thank you for taking over
for Jeff while Hair and I hope he goes back
in good shape. In nineteen sixty nine. In the sixties,
I was in Vietnam sixty nine and seventy, and I
was not a proponent or people of the Vietnam War.
But I remember my twenty fifth Infantry Unit, the Vietnamese

(14:35):
AVIN Unit. We went into Cambodia to take out all
the arms cashers that we knew because I was working
with some intelligence individuals and they had tons and tons
of equipment in there in Cambodia, which was a neutral country.
We went in and with a big red one. You know,
all those guys from Vietnam at that time in the

(14:55):
Kay area knew about this called Paris Peak, and it
was a a huge success. We took out all these
arms that were gonna fund and funnel all this information
and arms to the Via Kong and NBA regulars. And
I remember seeing the stars and stripes. At the time,

(15:16):
it was the only media that we had, and I
realized them and I was just a regular kid that
came out of Newton, just like any edic draftee. I
saw that they were they were slanting the news and
what we were doing were keeping mothers from crying because
we used to get rocketed, and anybody that was in
the like area would know that it was called a

(15:37):
rocket alley, and we were keeping these individuals and blowing
us up and the mothers would get the letters home,
and I was so angry at the media not telling
the truth because they were there they saw exactly what
we were doing. But it was extremely unpopular. Law I
get it. I remember reading about how I was over

(15:59):
there in the Life magazine and Look magazine had all
the unfortunate kids that were killed coming home. And I
still live with it today. But I'll tell you what.
The media then was so despicable and it didn't start
just today or yesterday. This has been going on, and
they blame you for what you're doing, and they're doing

(16:19):
it themselves and they're blaming you. So you know, Sandy,
I don't know how we can turn this around other
than the social media sites that people like yourself and
Jeff and individuals can speak and to the truth.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
As I said before, Kevin, I think that's one of
the reasons why Donald Trump has been so successful, because
he and you can tell from his social media posts
he's doing them. It's not somebody like with Joe Biden.
Maybe it's him, maybe it was an intern. I don't
think it was ever really him, but usually it was
an intern or it is somebody in the press office.
Donald Trump speaks directly to the American people's for social

(16:54):
media posts. You may not like his posts, you may
think they last, let they lack gravitas, you may whatever.
He's speaking directly to you. And I think that's one
of the measures of one of the reasons why he's
so successful, don't you.

Speaker 8 (17:08):
We do, And I think that's a bit of a
divine of division. I'm not a crazy coop that believes
in the castle the friendly Ghost. But I'll tell you what,
this man has changed the world and he's given me.
Every single day I wake up thinking this Christmas because
I feel like what I saw previous in that Eric
Calder and Obama and then Biden, we all saw that

(17:29):
anybody of the common sense brain or half a brain
saw what was going on in our country and if
if the other one won, I mean, the media was
all on for these people. And now I see that
people of the group that I belong to, the sons
of the American Legion, and oh hearing it. We try
to keep in the Newton area just to let people

(17:51):
know that this is such a beautiful country and very
easily can we lose with this the lying and deceituel
from me to me.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, I agree with you. Now do you think I
understand you think this has been going on since, you know,
before the Vietnam War, But in your mind, did it
get worse during COVID? That seems to be where a
lot of people are putting the blame.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
I mean, I'll tell you I have a little cutting
shop here in Newton, and I tell people hydroxy quirk
when that is what we took in Vietnam, and anybody
that was over there knew about this was an anti
viral or in the malaria, and that stuff works. And
not only does it work, I have a Mexican this stuff,
these therapeutics do work against this and children didn't get sick.

(18:38):
And I saw it, and I knew all this stuff,
and I would I would promote this kind of stuff.
But yet the doctors were pushing it and pushing it
because the narrative was it's the people, and look what
it did. It shut us all down and children didn't die.
State state open, country, state open. And look at what
do they have as a death right. I mean, Yuganda

(18:58):
us exact art kirk when on a regular bations and
only three thousand people died of four thousands that was
it a country of forty million.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, And but the administration and the body administration, why
don't you believe it made fun of you if you
used it and called it horse tranquilizers. Yeah, no, I completely,
I completely agree with you, and I think I think
it did get worse during COVID, but I thought it
would be getting better by now that this is the
Kooner report, This is Sandy Shack filling in for Jeff Cooner.
President Trump has cleaned up d C. Despite the screeching

(19:27):
from the loony left that fighting crime is fascism. Even
Mayor Bowser says, if this was a good thing, this
is working out, you know well for them. But DC
is a special case. It is a federal city. It
is the only federal city in the country. The President
can go in for thirty days, and with permission of Congress,

(19:48):
he can extend that a little bit. But President Trump
has set his sights on not just cleaning up the Capitol,
but the country and doesn't mean just the blue cities,
or so says Homeland Security Secretary Christininomans. The deployments of

(20:09):
federal forces to city streets to fight crime will not
be restricted to the blue cities and states. So at
least that's what she said on Face the Nation this weekend.
Cut number twenty please, Mike.

Speaker 10 (20:26):
You mentioned there are a bunch of cities in democratic
controlled states with Democratic mayors, and there have been a
lot of questions asked about that focus. There are Republican
cities with major crime issues as well, and we haven't
heard about plans to deploy, say to Dallas, or to
Oklahoma City, or to cities in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi
that have considerable crime rates in some cases higher percentage

(20:47):
wise than those other cities you mentioned. Are there plans
to go to red states and Republican controlled cities in
this kind of way?

Speaker 11 (20:54):
Absolutely every single city is evaluated for what we need
to do there to make it safer. You've got operations
that again I won't talk about details on, but we
absolutely are not looking through the viewpoint at anything we're
doing with a political lens.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
So she's saying, this is not a political thing, this
is a safety thing. Do you agree? Would you mind
federal law enforcement in your city? I mean, I if
there's a huge crime problem, which would you rather have
the crime problem or national guard in your city, aiding

(21:32):
and assisting because that's what they do. They don't go
out and arrest people themselves. They're there to support the
local police. They don't do it. They don't do the
out and out, you know, arresting on their own. They
just stand behind the guys who are doing the arresting.
And I don't mean just to belittle them. That's pretty
impressive seeing a soldier stand behind a police officer. But

(21:55):
is that also an intimidation tactic? I guess that's what
the Democrats want you to believe. Would you have a
problem with federal law enforcement in your city? Tommy from
West Virginia, Welcome to WRKO. How are you, Tommy?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Hey, Good morning, Sandy. How are you this morning?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I am fine, Thank you, sir. How are you doing.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well? You know I listened to MSNBC and CNN. I
haven't heard anything on those stations with regards to Mayor
Bowser in Washington, d C. About you know, it's working
that especially the fact that carjacking is down. And you know,

(22:40):
I'm sixty five years old, but I remember the term
carjacking back in the first Clinton administration when they made
it a federal crime, and Joe Biden was one of
those senators that you know, was calling people in the
inner city editors, animals and predators. Okay, yeah, and you know,

(23:03):
never underestimate the short the selective memory of highly educated
white liberals. And what what I find amazing that they're
upset at this, And yet I look at Chicago and

(23:23):
the murder rates, you know, for the last fifty years
just keep going and going and going. They made a
showtime series called The Chai about Chicago, or Shy, I
should say, and what it deals with is the violence
of young black men murdering one another.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
Hey, Tommy, I keep hearing you.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
You want to know just I don't mean to judge,
but do you know anyone know what happened in Chicago
over the weekend? Seven dead, thirty seven injured over the
long weekend, seven dead and thirty seven injured, and no
suspects In most cases, no suspects were take into custody.
This comes after six people were killed and twenty seven
were injured in shootings the weekend before. That's what's been

(24:07):
happening in Chai. Sorry Tommy, go ahead, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Well you know, and it's just a never ending syndrome.
And yet I keep hearing that from the mayor there
that well, more social programs will solve everything. No, it's not.
And at some point you have to hold people accountable
and that means warehousing people in prison. It's unfortunate, but
that is the reality. That's the only way you're going

(24:33):
to put it down. Yeah, no, anyway.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I don't disagree. So you don't have a problem with
fed with federal officers coming in to help local law enforcement.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
No. I mean it's a temporary fix, is what it is.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
What if it wasn't a temporary fix? What what if
it wasn't temporary? What if that became the new normal?
Would you be okay with that?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah? I would have an issue with that because if
I look at Boston, and I am by no way
endorsing liberals in Boston. But here's the reality. Nineteen ninety Boston,
especially what they called area b Roxbury, Mattapan, North Dorchester,
it was just every night you were hearing I think

(25:24):
they got up to three hundred murders in one year.
It just was terrible. And whatever city hall leadership did
along with the Boston Police Department worked, and I think
Boston is up to what maybe thirty murders this year
so far, and you know, we're almost three quarters or
two thirds through one year in Boston, and I think that,

(25:50):
like I say, if I go back to that Boston
in nineteen ninety, there was a huge mistrust from that
those particular neighborhoods towards the Boston police. That is no
longer the case. And I take my hat off to
the Boston police leadership for what they've done. And Boston
relatively speaking, is a safer city than it was compared

(26:13):
to nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well, then I think that means Tommy that the National
Guard is not coming to Boston. If it's crime stats
are good, they're not going to According to Christy Nome,
they're not just picking blue cities out and going to them.
They're looking for the cities, both blue and red, that
have crime issues. If Boston is good, they're not coming here.
But what if near one of the cities other places
that you live in West Virginia or in Alabama they

(26:39):
basically want they send the federal troops in because local
law enforcement can't keep up with the crime. Would you
have a problem if that became the norm there.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Beckley, West Virginia, is one city, it's about two hours
from me off of Interstate sixty four, has a huge
crime problem with drugs, all right. Montgomery, Alabama. I used
to live in Opa Laika, Alabama a few years ago.
That is a city that has a very serious young
black males murdering one another on a constant basis. But

(27:14):
you don't hear about that on the national news because
it's really not a big city like Detroit or Chicago. No,
I don't have an issue with that. And Beckley, West
Virginia has an extremely high murder rate, and yeah, send
the National Guards here absolutely, you know, just like I say,
and just figure it out. And you know, at some

(27:36):
point there has to be some kind of leadership the
problem they have in a small state like West Virginia.
They don't have a whole lot of money here to
build prisons to incarcerate people, and a lot of people
get busted for selling drugs with intent to distribute and
they serve their prison sentence at home, and it's a
very short one. And like I say, I'm in one
of the most rural counties here, and I've seen people

(27:59):
here that have been found guilty of manslaughter, you know,
with motor vehicle manslaughter that get a two year prison
sentence and the time that they spent in jail time served.
And the reason why with a poor state like this one,
they just don't have the resources to incarcerate people, you know,

(28:20):
as compared to big states. So no, I have no
issue with that as far as if Trump wants to
send federal troops in the in the here to clean
up which is actually a very nice city. But the
problem is it's it's drug abuse is the root of
the cause, at least in Beckley.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, well, I think that's a I think there's probably
a problem in a lot of places too, Tommy. But
thank you for the call very much. I appreciate it.
The number six one seven two sixty eight sixty eight
when a caller drop off drops off, that means a
line has opened up for you. So, Tommy, and West
Virginia does not have a problem with National Guard coming

(29:01):
into assist local law enforcement, even if it's not temporary.
Do you do you have a problem with the Guard
coming in to assist local law enforcement or are you
okay as long as it's only temporary. You know who
does not want this, does not welcome it, and that
would be the Democratic governors, you know in the blue states.

(29:23):
They say, you know, that's this is a deployment too far.
I guess the Democratic Governors Association. And the reason why
I say Democratic governors and that don't don't uh, don't
put it out to all governors, is that the Democratic

(29:46):
Governor's Association are the ones who wrote this letter to
President Trump. And they say, whether it's Illinois, Maryland, New York,
or another state tomorrow, the threats and efforts to deploy
a state's national guard without the request and consent of
that governor state's governor is an alarming abuse of power, ineffective,

(30:09):
and undermines the mission of our service members.

Speaker 7 (30:14):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
So that's interesting. So they're saying, and I agree that
you have to be invited in if you're the president.
It has to do with you know, states rights. So
I find it pretty interesting that they failed, that they
had to write a letter to that effect, putting that
out there, and there are four governors who did not

(30:38):
sign it. Democratic governors who did not sign it. Josh
Green of Hawaii, Ned Laman of Connecticut, Katie Hobbes of Arizona,
and Tim Walls of Minnesota did not sign the letter
of I'm kind of surprised by those though some of
those people, oh why guy, But Tim Walls and Katie Hobbs,
I'm kind of surprised at I don't know about you.

(30:58):
What is the mainstream legacy media response to the governor's
writing that letter, Well, basically it was you go govs
Politico for example, this is how they they put out there.
This is how they phrased President Trump wanting to come
in and by crime and the governor's response to it.

(31:22):
This is I'm going to read you rebating what Politico said,
just to show you kind of the slant of the
mainstream media. To continue with our theme from earlier in
the show, Trump has deployed troops to Washington and Los
Angeles and threatened to send them to Chicago and other
cities led by Democrats, and what he has portrayed as
an effort to address violent crime, though the soldiers have

(31:42):
done little in the way of law enforcement, and overall
criminality has declined in the US. So, Hm, really, soldiers
have done little to help with law enforcement, and you
know crime has gone down.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
Shell.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I play Mayor Bowser's cut again where she talks about
how the surge has really truly helped DC and how
she is thrilled about it. How about a list of
government officials who are in hot water for lying about
crime statistics since the politico says that criminality has decreased?

(32:23):
Has it? Has it decreased? Like in DC? You know
where the where the chief of police there has been
held up on fraud for changing crime statistics. And did
you know, by the way I found this out over
the weekend, it was interesting the FBI. Most crime data

(32:44):
is published through the FBI every year, and more than
six thousand law enforcement agencies were missing from the FBI's
crime data last year, six thousand. So I'm not sure
where people are getting this information that criminality has decreased.
I don't I don't believe that's true, but you know

(33:07):
that could be me. And I read you when Tommy,
when Tommy from West Virginia was on just a few
minutes ago, the crime statistics that were happening in Chicago
over the long week and fifth, you know all those
people that were shot thirty seven injured and given and
the same had almost happened the weekend before. And let's see,

(33:29):
and the crime statistics are just getting worse and worse
and worse in New York, in Chicago, in Los Angeles.
Yet where President Trump brought in the law enforcement, which
is DC the only place you can legally do without
the governor's permission. President Trump has changed the safety landscape

(33:51):
with this quote surge of federal officers on the street.
Jeanine Piro was talking about that. She was on Fox
New Sunday and she had the statistics cut twenty two.

Speaker 12 (34:04):
Please, Mike, if we go from intolerable to one acceptable,
does that mean we should pat ourselves on the back
and say let's just leave town.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
No, that's not.

Speaker 12 (34:18):
What President Trump is about here. Washington was one of
the most violent cities, not just in the United States,
but in the world. So let's not pussyfoot around this
whole thing. We've got individuals who are being shot, stabbed, beaten,
and brutalized, and a rest are not being made. In
the last year and eight months, forty five black teenagers,

(34:40):
minority teenagers have been shot and killed with firearms. You
know what the clearance rate is, Shannon. The clearance rate,
meaning how many cases have been solved, is twenty nine percent.
That means it's seventy percent of the murderers of African
American teens, all of them killed with guns, are still
out on the street with they are guns, continuing to

(35:01):
do what they do. And so for all those people
who say, oh, crime is down, isn't this great, that's nonsense.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
It's nonsense. Now crime is down now in DC because
of Donald Trump, And that is from the lips of
Mayor Bowser herself. She came out and said that. And
some of the cars have been right. I have not
seen that trumpeted on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC. Nope,

(35:32):
you got to go look for it, and I did
and I played it for you earlier. But this is
what's going on, and Donald Trump is bringing an answer
to this. And the Democrat's response is fascism. Don't come
to our city. Do you agree? Would you like to
see the National Guard come to your city if there's
a crime issue there or are you on the side

(35:52):
of that's a slippery slope. Next thing, you know, we're
going to be in concentration camps because that is what
the Democrats want you to believe is going to happen.
Let's go to Jay in New Hampshire. Jay, welcome to WRKO.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
How are you, Jay, I'm good, Thanks for taking my call.
You're doing a good job. The couple quick points the
Democrats weren't complaining when Joe Biden wanted to hire eighty
seven thousand IRS agents to shake down landscapers and so on.
And the second point is who's kidding who? This is

(36:25):
about money? Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that
this is about drug gang violence? And the politicians in
Chicago are getting paid off. The reason why President Trump
is doing the right thing by sending in the National
Guard to maintain a presence, the reason why we even
have a sheriff. If so, there is multiple layers of

(36:48):
law enforcement in case somebody doesn't do the job, the
sheriff or the president or somebody will if you follow
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Well, the problem that we have here is that you
just can't send the National Guard in unless you know
a particular emergency has declared. You have to be invited
in by the governor of the state. And so where
I can see unless you're Washington, d c. That that's
why it's an unusual city. It's a federal city. The

(37:18):
president can do that without anybody's permission. He has to
get permission from Congress to stay for a particular period
of time, but he can go in anytime he wants.
But that's the only place he can do that. He
can't do it anywhere else. And so, for instance, in Illinois,
which is looks to me to be ground zero for crime,
he needs the permission of Governor Pritsker in order to

(37:41):
go there. I don't think he's going to get it,
do you, To be honest with you, I think that's
that's going to be a big problem for him. And
Governor Pritsker has given an explicit warning to any troops
that come in to Illinois, saying that he views them

(38:02):
as being there illegally, and if something happens to anybody,
either by mistake or accident or whatever, he's going to
punish them. He's going to make sure that they feel
the full wrath of.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
His ire.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I guess his law cut number thirteen, please, Mike.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
DC is a place where Trump can get away with
more because the law permits it. He cannot get away
with this in big cities. It violates the Tenth Amendment,
It violates a variety of laws, and if those supposed
anti crime forces which they're not at all. If they
show up and they start committing local crimes, they can
be prosecuted locally. They should be prosecuted locally.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
And here's the big part.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Donald Trump cannot pardon a National Guards person who unjustifiably
killed someone, harm someone, detain someone in violation of state law.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
It can't do it.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
That was actually not Pritzker. That was Philly Da Larry Krasner.
Was that cut number? Was that cut number thirteen? Mike, Yeah, so,
sorry so, but that was actually Ada from Philadelphia, Larry
Krasner threatening the National Guard. But Pritzker did the same thing,

(39:29):
cut number thirteen.

Speaker 13 (39:30):
Please, Mike, if you hurt my people, nothing will stop me,
not time or political circumstance, from making sure that you
face justice under our constitutional rule of law. As doctor
King once said, the arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends toward justice. Humbly, I would add, it

(39:55):
doesn't bend on its own. History tells us we often
have to apply force needed to make sure that the
arc gets where it needs to go. This is one
of those times.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Does that sound crazy to you? Do these people sound nutty?
Don't come help us, don't you know? We don't want
help fighting crime? What is wrong with these people? That's
really my question that I have because this is this
sounds insane. I am basically floored by this. You know,

(40:33):
there's this violent epidemic of crime going on, and they
want you to believe that it is doesn't exist, that
it's inaccurate, because it turns off voters if they realize
that they're living in bastions of crime. And so the
Democrats are in a very difficult position here. Do they

(40:55):
acknowledge the crime and agree for the help, knowing that
they're responsible for it. If they do that, they're then
legitimizing President Trump. Or do they try to ignore it
and say, you know, paint Trump is the threat. What's
a Democrat to do here? That's the big question. What
would you like them to do? Would you be okay

(41:15):
with a National Guard coming into your city
