Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boston's Bulldozer operates seven days a week. The Kuner Report
weekend edition WRKO, the Voice of Boston.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It looks like they finally found the Brown shooter, who
they found dead in a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire,
dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. Good morning, Kooner Country. Okay,

(00:29):
holy Shamoli, that's all I have to say. So here
is exactly now what has taken place. Forget the last
twenty four hours, in the last twelve hours. Apparently now
they have identified the mass shooter who opened fire at

(00:52):
Brown University on Saturday, killing two students and wounding nine.
According now to law enforcement authorities, Boston Police in particular
and the FBI, they now believe that this man, and
I'm gonna give his name in a second, is also

(01:12):
directly responsible and linked to the murder of the MIT physicist,
the fusion scientist who taught at MIT. Remember that physicist
was forty seven years old. He was from Portugal. It
appears that the suspect in both the Brown and the

(01:35):
Mit shootings is Claudio Nevez Valenti. He is forty eight
or was forty eight years old. He is from Portugal. Originally,
he came to the United States in twenty seventeen on

(01:57):
a diversity visa law read program. He then eventually got
a green card permanent legal resident. He is actually not
a resident of either Rhode Island or Massachusetts or New Hampshire.
In fact, he apparently has no connection to New England whatsoever.

(02:19):
He is a resident of Miami, Florida now according to
law enforcement. This is now the timeline. He arrived in
Boston and rented a car with Florida license plates. He then,
for about a twelve day period, drove down to Providence

(02:43):
where he was scoping and casing the campus and the university.
He had attended the university for a brief period from
two thousand to two thousand and one, in other words,
basically twenty four years ago. He attended the graduate physics program,

(03:07):
so he I guess he was a wanna be aspiring physicist.
They claim that the reason why he targeted the engineering
building they suspect is because he took his physics classes
in that engineering building. They don't believe that he targeted

(03:28):
those students specifically, whether it's Ella Cook, the young Republican
who was murdered, or the other victim who is from
whose parents are from Uzbekistan. They believe he just randomly
chose a classroom from the building that he had attended
twenty four years ago when he took several classes as

(03:49):
in the graduate program of physics, the physics graduate program.
Apparently he withdrew from the program. They don't know why,
but he took a few classes and then he withdrew
and they never heard from him again. As he scoped
and cased the university. He then made his move where

(04:12):
he launched the massacre. He then drove back to his
hotel where he then changed the license plates. He also,
when he first arrived in Boston, rented a storage unit
at an extra space storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire.

(04:34):
When he returned back from Providence after the massacre at Brown,
he then went to the home of the nuclear physicists,
the professor at MIT who apparently they knew each other.
Now I don't know how well they knew each other,
but they went to the same academic program from nineteen

(04:56):
ninety five to two thousand. In fact, they both graduate
in Portugal. They both are Portuguese. They graduated from the
same academic program in Portugal. In fact, they both graduated
in two thousand from the very same institution. He then
went to Brookline for we have a big audience outside

(05:18):
of Massachusetts. Brookline is very close to Boston and by
the way, very you know, a swanky area, a very
upper middle class. Anyway, So he went in, targeted the professor,
shot the professor multiple times, eventually killing him. He then
went on the lamb. He then drove up to a

(05:41):
storage facility and apparently hid there until he eventually ate
his own gun. Now, that's that's what the law. That's
what the police told us yesterday. Police what broke the
case wide open. And this is incredible. It's not all
the cameras that apparently now don't work at Brown University.

(06:04):
And I'm gonna get to that, they in some ways
deliberately don't work. And I'll get to that. It's a
homeless person who and you know, they're very territorial. Homeless
people are very very territorial. They live in a place.
This person happens to live at Brown permanently on campus,

(06:24):
This homeless guy, and he noticed something very suspicious about
Claudio Neves Valenti, and so he began to follow him
and he followed him back to his vehicle, and by
following him back to the vehicle, this homeless person was

(06:46):
able to make the make and model of the car
and even provide them with the license plate. So really
it was a homeless guy that gave the case, that
broke the case wide open. So what we have is
a forty eight year old man, an immigrant from Portugal

(07:09):
who is not a US citizen, who apparently, and they're
not giving us a motive, shot up Brown University and
then shot and killed the MIT professor and then fled
to Salem, New Hampshire, to his storage facility. The police,
in a manhunt, were closing in on him, the FBI,

(07:32):
Boston PD, the Providence Police, and apparently he killed himself
before they got on the scene. When they opened up
the storage facility, a his storage unit, forgive me, they
opened up his storage unit, they found him dead. So
this is I'm giving you the facts of the entire case.
Now let me just say this, okay, a couple of points,

(07:56):
and then I want to throw it open to you
the great audience. Cooner Country six one seven two sixty
six sixty eight sixty eight. Here's my initial reaction from
the heart how convenient, honestly, how convenient. So you mean

(08:20):
to tell me you have a guy come into a classroom,
according to multiple witnesses, shout a la hu akbar. But
it turns out he's Portuguese and this is a non

(08:41):
terrorist attack. It's some guy with some grievance twenty four
years ago. He left Brown and was disillusioned or disenchanted
with their physics program, and then went up and killed
the MIT professor, which is what fifty miles away Brookline

(09:03):
is about fifty miles away from Providence, and then very
conveniently kills himself, so we don't get to interrogate him,
we don't get to get more information out of him.
It's did he have help? Did he do it by himself?
What a motive? A reason? It's all just swept under

(09:27):
the rug now something. I'm sorry, it doesn't pass the
smell test. Now, to be fair, if you know anything
about Portugal, like any European country, especially Western European, Portugal
has a lot of Muslims, they just do. So maybe
this man was a Portuguese Muslim. Okay, maybe I'm not

(09:49):
saying he is, but it's a distinct possibility. Now, let
me make another obvious point. This is not from some
fringe website. I'm talking. These are wire services. This the
Reuters Associated Press, Yahoo News obviously, the New York Times,
USA Today, all the papers in Israel, Okay, the Washington Post.

(10:13):
The Israeli government was investig on American soil with the
FBI was investigating the murder of that MIT professor because
he was such a prominent nuclear physicist overseeing such a
sensitive program, and that the Israelis were becoming convinced that

(10:35):
this was a hit, an Iranian hit squad, but led
by the you know, overseen by the Republic of Iran
to decimate it, to retaliate for what happened that for
Doe and the destruction of Iran's nuclear program. So the
Israelis believed that this was potentially an Iranian inspired assassination. Suddenly,

(11:02):
now no, none of that nolled all this is all
made up. Now, I don't believe it. I don't.
