Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, you want to you want to
see what a joke of a media we have. I mean,
I know all of you know this already, but they
just keep, you know, beclowning themselves more and more and more.
So here is just a small montage. I could go
(00:21):
on for hours. I'm just gonna give it to you
in twenty seconds. This is CNN an MS now uh
celebrating the dismissal of the indictments against both James Comey
and Letitia James roll cut seven, Mike.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
There were so many different issues with these prosecutions. It
was kind of a question of which one was really
going to be the one.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
To get in the way.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The cases have now been dismissed and probably delivered a
humiliating defeat to the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
No doubt, this is a huge defeat for the Trump
administration at this point.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
This is a significant ruling and someone will see it
as a victory for the.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Rule of law.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And it just went on and on and on and on.
It was a technical ruling that by the way, again,
none of these people can defend what call me said
or did. None of these people can defend what Letitia
James said or did. So Notice no one wants to
(01:28):
talk about the merits of the case. It's just anything
is somehow a blow against Trump, and that's how they roll.
This is all pure propaganda. That's what you're getting now
from the media. Now, hopefully they can get their ducks
(01:48):
in a row and repeal this because call Me deserves
to be behind bars and Leticia James deserves to be
behind bars. And I got it. Say one last thing.
Both of them loved to play these little technical games
to go after people. You know, Remember it was call
(02:11):
Me that gave the order to take down General Michael
Flynn and get him on some technicality about false statements,
even though the FBI personnel that were interviewing General Flynn
said he never lied to us. They both both of them,
the two agents said, you know in writing, but he
(02:33):
never lied to us. Doesn't matter. Get him on a technicality.
Same thing with Letitia James. She went after Trump on
technicality after technicality after technicality. So believe me, these two
people deserve to go to jail. Agree disagree, Six one
(02:55):
seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight is the
number Jeff in quin Z. Thanks for holding Jeff and welcome.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Hey Jeff, how are you again? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Thanksgiving? All the best to you and your family.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Jeff, you as well, my friend.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I have a couple things.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Actually, So the thing the media.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Is not talking about suspiciously enough is that Letitia James
claimed income on this property, which by the way, was
a four family a five families. She claimed as a
four family because of the interest rates thrown at commercial property,
which would have been.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
A lot higher.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But never mind that she claimed income in twenty one,
zero income in twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
That should be a serious tax problem for any other
American in the United States. It would be a big deal.
Second of all, James call me the guy who's a
snake oil salesman. Is he gonna go to jail?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
He best?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
He had best, because quite frankly, I'm done following the
rule of law with these clowns, and and they've shown
wholeheartedly that apparently people are above the law. And quite frankly,
the American people should be sick and tired of it.
And I've said it before. It's time we the American
people stop going to work stop sending money into the
treasury and we figure out how a thirty eight trillion
(04:20):
dollars in debt country because it's bills on Friday. It's
the only way to end this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
At this point, I gotta ask you. And by the way,
you're on fire. You're right. Letitia James didn't just commit
mortgage fraud. She committed tax fraud. I mean they can
put her, they can put her behind bars for twenty
five years if they want. You're completely right. But just
to your point about Camy, what are Republicans so afraid of? No, No, really, Jeff, honestly,
(04:45):
like what why is it here? Look, just stand back.
Whatever you think of her, and I can't stand her.
I'm with you, Jeff, But you've got this loull life
rinky dink New York attorney general. That's what Letitia James
was or is. And she almost brought down the President
of the United States, Donald J.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I know he was a former president at the time,
but she almost got him behind burs and almost bankrupted
him in his entire financial empire. So you got this
low life, low level apparachick, that's what she is.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I know she was backed by the Party. I know
she was backed by Biden. I know she was backed
by Merrick Garland. I get all that, But my point
is these Democrats, they get some no name loser like
Letitia James, and they come within a hair's whisker of
putting a former president in prison for five hundred years
(05:46):
on nothing, and yet when it comes to Republicans, they're
guilty as sin, and they they just can't seem to
put anybody behind bars. What's your theory, Jeff.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
I have a simple theory, ranch and it's the only theory.
The fact of the matter is Democrat I mean Republicans
a complacent in it and exactly why they did to
Donald Trump what they did to everyone to ski in
the deep state. If they can do that to Trump,
what can they do to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I think you nailed it now. I think you really
nailed it, Jeff. Again, Happy Thanksgiving, all the best to
you and your family. They're petrified as a deep state.
I mean, I guess why I keep saying they're a
bunch of cowards. And that's why I'm sorry. But that's
why I'm going to defend Lindsay Halligan. Because you can
say whatever you want about her, She's not a coward.
(06:43):
In other words, like, is anybody going to go after
call me? She goes, puts her hand up. I'll do it.
I'm not afraid. Six one seven two six, six sixty
eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, lines are blazing.
I'm gonna go right to the phone lines, I promise.
But I just want to read this to you. Please,
whatever you're doing, stop, you need to hear this. And
(07:06):
the only reason why you're going to say, well, Jeff,
we kind of knew this, but I just want to
show it really highlights, and I just I really want
to show the difference between Republicans and Democrats. So even
I want you to just think about this. Even when
the Democrats don't have the White House, they don't have
(07:27):
the House, they don't have the Senate, they don't have
the Supreme Court, and they just keep blocking Trump. They're
in the minority across the board, and they just keep
obstructing and blocking and paralyzing. And it just now we're
slowly going into the second year of Trump's presidency. Chuck Schumer,
(07:50):
Chuck you Schumer. This is when he was the majority leader,
right last year. He does an interview and he openly brags,
I believe it was with PBS. So he gives an
interview and he says, no, no, no, no. He said, listen,
(08:11):
last year, we installed his words, two hundred and thirty
five progressive judges. We put two hundred and thirty five
progressive judges on the bench. And he says, we put
him there for one reason, to make sure that if
(08:32):
Trump came back to power, they would deliberately rule against Trump.
His words again and again and again. In other words,
he's saying, you think I we confirm them as fast
as you can send them to us, and then we
(08:54):
stock them across the judiciary, and we basically make sure
that whenever there's an important case, they get you know, scheam,
look at this, we get a judge, we get our
judge on the case. Allah James, call Melatisha James and
blank you President Trump. And that's how we just keep
(09:15):
obstructing him. And he openly briges about it. Now, my
point is a simple one. How come we can't put
two hundred and thirty five mega judges? How come we
can't put two hundred and thirty five conservative judges? Okay,
forget two hundred and thirty five MAGA judges. That's too much.
How about twenty five to fifty MAGA US attorneys Conservative
(09:40):
US attorneys. We can't do that. And the ultimate problem
is because Thune is not He's not Chuck Schumer. Thune
is not playing for Trump. Thune is playing for the swamp.
And that's why we I keep getting sabotaged again and again.
(10:02):
And I don't want to revisit the Marjorie Taylor Green issue.
We said everything we needed to say on it yesterday,
but this was exactly her point. Now, wasn't about two
and it was about Mike Johnson. She said, I don't understand.
These are her words. She said, I put up bills
that I want to make permanent Trump's executive orders, because
(10:26):
an executive order can be rescinded, boom, the next time
there's a Democrat president, it's gone. So she said, I
wanted to make it into law, codified into law, and
every time I tried English as an official language, that
the census should be based on American citizens and not
(10:46):
just anybody and everybody in a district, which would dramatically
change the kind of power that the Democrats have. Issue
after issue H one B visa she ran down the
whole list. Every time I put up a bill, Mike
Johnson won't allow it to go to the floor for
a vote. We're constantly being sabotaged by leadership. And here
(11:12):
we are again. And now for now at least call
me and Letitia James. Their indictments were dismissed. Now hopefully
this will be overturned on appeal. But what I'm saying is,
come on, man, like, we got to turn this thing around.
(11:32):
The clock is ticking. Agree, disagree? Mark in Medford, Thanks
for holding Mark and welcome.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Hey, good morning, Jeff.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
First off, I want to say happy Thanksgiving to you, Sandy,
Mike and all your families.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Thank you, all the best, Happy blessed Thanksgiving to you
and the whole family.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Mark, Thank you, sir. And she's my voice.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
If it goes in and out, I'm just getting over
being six, so I apologize at a time. So what
I want, what I want to first say is this,
you were talking about having the guts earlier, having the balls. Yeah,
well you know what, Colly has the balls to go
on national television and say this is why Trump cannot
use the DOJ to put away his political opponents. Well, Jeff,
(12:21):
if I'm not mistaken, the day Trump came down the
escalator in twenty fifty, is that not what they try
to do to him?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So what reason?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Because they said he was an agent of Russia?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Right?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
So, and you used and you used your political I mean,
you used it the DOJ against Donald Trump. But you're
gonna go on national TV and say Donald Trump can't
do the same thing like you always say, Jeff, what's
good for the ghost's good for the gander. Now what
I'm what I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Trying to having trouble wrapping my head around is this.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You had two.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Federal grand jury's hand down two indictments, one for Comy,
one for Laticia James. Now, you can't just hand on
an indictment unless you have sufficient evidence to hand down
an indictment. But I guess any Democrat district judge can
(13:19):
dismiss the indictments. Well, there goes your old dairy, jeffub
You can indict a hand sandwich because obviously you can't
indict a hand sandwich if a Democrat federal judge is involved.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, you know, Mark, that's a brilliant point, Absolutely brilliant,
because that's what legal experts. I mean, I'll play a
couple of cuts because we have them, and they're very
good cuts. But they were like, what, you know, what
is this judge. The judge is Judge Cameron Curry, the
Clinton hack that dismissed the indictments, saying, what is this
judge smoking? They had every right to bring these charges
(13:54):
against Comy and against Letitia James. And the technicality they're
arguing is is it's unconstitutional. What the judge did was
blatantly illegal and unconstitutional and so and by the way,
the Attorney General fully ratified Lindsay Halligan as the interim
(14:14):
US attorney. So in other words, I don't want to
get too into the weeds here, but literally you had
the Attorney General come in and say, as Attorney General
of the United States, along with the senior leadership of
the Department of Justice, we are letting you know that
what Lindsay Halligan is doing has the full support of
(14:36):
the DOJ. We stand behind both indictments. And you're right,
both of them were issued by not one, but two
grand juries. So again you have a liberal, leftist, activist
judge who is making it up from the bench, who says, no,
(14:58):
I have more power than the Attorney General. I have
more power than the entire DJ I have more power
than the President of the United States, and they just
keep letting these liberal judges get away basically with murder.
It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. Mark. I've got to ask
you this because look, you've been calling this show for
(15:20):
a long time. You're one of our best callers. You're
an incredibly astute observer of politics. You just are. What
is it with the Republican psyche? What is it with
the Republican DNA? Nobody ever is held accountable when they
have power. It's just incredible. Nobody ever goes to jail. Now,
(15:44):
why is that? Really? What is it with Republicans? Why
are they so afraid, say, to go up against the
Komi or to go up against the Letitia James when
the case is so obvious. I mean, I gotta say,
Caroline len I thought, really hit it out of the park.
She goes, he blamed me, like, call me led the Congress.
(16:07):
I mean, it's it's so clear Letitia James committed mortgage fraud.
There's no doubt. So why are Republicans so spineless and gutless?
What's your theory, Mark, It's funny.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
I think great minds think. I like here because my
question to you was going to be since twenty and fifteen,
you need to tell me that the Republicans could not
find one conservative judge to dismiss any of the Trump
and White indictments. So I don't know why they're afraid, Jeff.
(16:47):
Maybe because they know it's not the legal thing to do,
and they played too much by the book. And you
know what I think sometimes when they do that, Jeff,
it burns their.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Ass and the.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Mark, thank you very much for that call. I really
appreciate it. Look, it's this country club mentality again. I
go back to Nute Gingrich. You know his famous line.
Democrats play smash mouth football, Republicans play badminton. You know,
lock there all. You know badminton, Like you know they
dress in white white shirts and you know, white shorts
(17:25):
and white sneakers, and you know they play badminton like
I don't want to hurt you. You don't hurt me.
I don't hurt you. It's we're genteel, we're above it all.
We're at a country club. We sit by tea and
you know, and talk about the weather and the Democrats
are just we'll smash you in the mouth. We'll do
whatever we got to do. Tom in Framingham. Thanks for
(17:48):
holding Tom and welcome.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Thank Jeff. It's a good show today, really good show.
Let's thank you. This all goes back to me. Some
of this goes back to the what hacks.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, I'm going to go right back to Tom and Framingham.
But before I do, it's the Kooner Country Poll Question
of the Day sponsored by Mario's Mario's Quality Roofing, Siding
and Windows. The cases against James call Mey and Letitia
(18:28):
James were dismissed because of a an activist judge or
b DOJ incompetence. So what do you think ultimately is
to blame or who do you think is ultimately to
blame for the fact that, at least for now the
indictments against both Comy and Letitia James have been dismissed?
(18:52):
Is it because of a liberal activist judge, A or
b incompetence on the part of Pambondy and the Department
of Justice. Now, if I was to vote again, I'm
not allowed to vote. I don't vote on these polls.
I can't but by the way, just because I'm the host,
you know, don't mind me, you know, but Sandy and
(19:16):
might consist I can't vote. I can't vote. I'm like, okay, fine, hey,
it's just in theory my show. But you know, but
let that go. So I don't vote. But if I
was to vote, honestly, it's a bit of both. I mean,
I think it's really Yeah, obviously it's a hack judge,
but I got to tell you, man, geez, they they
(19:37):
you know, they were they weren't brilliant in the you know,
in the way they presented this in front of A
I mean, the grand jury was fine, but in terms
of defending Lindsey Halligan's legal constitutional validity to go ahead
with these cases, the DJ on that side was sloppy.
There's no question. But in the end I would vote A.
(19:59):
I think to me, it's clearly more A than B
an activist judge. But that's me I want to hear
from you. You can vote on our web page wrko
dot com slash coooner wrko dot com slash coooner kuh
and is in national Er. You can also vote via
(20:21):
x and again last night very active on x my
handle there all one word at the Kooner Report. K
uh And is in national Er at the Kooner Report. Okay,
let's go right back to Tom and Framingham. Tom, you
are making the point about these hacks and hack judges
(20:45):
and what a danger they are. Please pick up where
you left off.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It's the hack. The hack judges are obvious. It doesn't
seem to be any way around that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Well, there is.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
Actually the problem is a set it. Linday Halligan, I guess,
is on a one hundred and twenty day appointment and
she's got She has absolutely no chance of being confirmed
as a permanent US Attorney in Virginia. And you know why,
because she doesn't pass the blue slip criteria. There's no
(21:19):
way that you could get Mark Warner, either Mark Warner
or Tim Kaine to vote for her. And the problem
is that's not a law, that's just some old hack rule.
It's actually a cudgel that these hack Republicans used to
(21:39):
keep certain people out. And Grassley, who's the head of
the Judiciary Committee, he'd vote against her. She wouldn't get
the votes, she wouldn't be able to go through Judiciary
to be appointed.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Tom, why do you think someone like Grassley would, I
agree with you. By the way, is this you know,
just for the audience, Tom, just very quick, The blue
slip tradition is a tradition. It's not in the law,
it's not in the constitution. He's right. It's like a
hack tradition in the Senate whereby if you're going to
confirm a US attorney, you have to run it by
(22:17):
the two senators from that particular state. So in this
case the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsay Halligan, if she's
going to be confirmed, you basically they give a veto
to the two Democrat senators, Tim Kain and Warner. And
so that's this tradition. And I think it's a ridiculous tradition.
(22:40):
I think it's a corrupt tradition. I would get rid
of it. But let that go. Why do you think
Grassly would oppose Lindsay Halligan. I agree with you, he would,
But just if you if you can flush it out
a bit, why do you think that. I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Tom to slow down, not just blow down.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
But he wants to prevent some of these Trump appointees
from getting on there. And the blue slip, the blue
slip applies to judges too. This is why you have
this is why you've got some Trump appointees in Massachusetts.
I forgot the name of the guy, but making some
of these rulings against Trump because there's no way, there's
(23:23):
no way he'd be able to get anyone through who
didn't there's no way he wouldn't be able to that
he gets, he'd be able to get anyone through besides
the Democratic flap. And that's that's what uh, that's what
some of the Trump appointees are. On the other hand,
you look at the other side, they're getting everyone through.
(23:43):
You know, say what you want about John Kennedy and
his clever, clever remarks and his things, and he's.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Not stopping he's not stopping too many of these people,
or of these Biden people from getting through. Most of
them got through.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
They made deals to get four or five district court
judges through in the end after Biden was laying duck
after the election. But I think.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I also think that there's some you know, I hate
to It's not like one of these people, you know,
these conspiracy theorists, But I think I think Grassley and
others of these Republicans have their paymasters. And Alensei Graham's
another one on the Judiciary Committee, who who gave Biden
(24:34):
just about everyone he appointed.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And you know, oh, look, Tom, I know Chuck. I
mean I don't not think I'm friends, obviously, but I
know Chuck Rossley. I've met Chuck Rossley. I covered Chuck
Grassley when I was at the Washington Times. It's an
open secret in Washington. He is in the pocket of
the military industrial complex. And to be more specific, I
(25:02):
don't know if she still is, but he and his wife.
I mean, this is the corruption. See people often ask me, well, Jeff,
what's the real corruption in Washington? You know, I honestly,
in some ways I almost prefer the old days, like
one hundred and one hundred and twenty years ago, where
they'd walk into a congressman, say a lobbyist, and stuff
money in a brown paper bag and go here, literally
(25:24):
just throw it on the table. Here it is vote
my way, here, take it here, because at least it's honest.
It's corrupt, it's criminal, don't get me wrong, but okay,
it's honest. Here's the money. Vote And that's it what
they do in Washington now. And this is what they
call legal corruption is the lobbyists go to the member
(25:47):
of Congress or the Senator and then say, we're gonna
get your spouse to sit on our board, and we're
gonna pay your spouse millions and millions obscene amounts of money.
And all they've got to do to check all the
box is because you know, if you're just gonna give,
say Grassley's wife, I'm just gonna make up a figure now,
(26:08):
twelve million dollars to sit on your board, well it's
it's naked graft. I mean, it's it's pay to play.
So what they do is she has to attend and
they do this I think, what is it three times
a year or four times a year, whatever it is,
it's either every three months or every four months a
board meeting. And so they fly them in first class.
(26:30):
You know, you should see the breakfast spread. I'm telling you,
beautiful breakfast spread. And they have the board meeting and
Grassley's wife nothing against a wife, very I'm sure she's
a great grandmother, but she's knitting. Literally, she's knitting. You
see your knitting. The whole board meeting, she's just knitting.
And she's there for her compulsory. What is it two
(26:52):
hours or whatever long a board meeting is. And there
you go, and they put her back on a plane
and she's back to Des Moines in Iowa. And the
cast just keeps coming in and it's all through the
spouse again. The Biden crime family. That was the basic model.
None of the money went technically to Joe Biden. It
went to everybody but Joe Biden. It went to Hunter,
(27:16):
it went to Frankie, it went to Jimmy, It went
to the brothers, it went to the sister, it went
to the Sun. They even got the grandkids involved, and
of course everybody gets a little slice, but in the
end it goes to the big guy. It's the same
thing with so many Republicans. It's both and so grassly
(27:36):
in particular, like Lindsey Graham is especially. They are, when
I say, swimming hell drowning in big defense contract money,
military industrial complex money. Well, Trump is a guy who's
pledged to end foreign worse. Trump is the guy who
keeps saying, can we get our troops out of Europe?
(27:59):
Can we have other countries ponying up more and pay
for their defense? Can we start retrenching a little bit
around the world. Well, that's not good for business, you know,
like the thing about him ending all these wars, it's
not good for the military industrial complex. They don't like
that there's less missiles to sell, tanks to sell, artillery
(28:21):
to sell, drones to sell. You know, that's not good
for them. So they want him out, or at a minimum,
they want him neotered. And that's why you have so
many Republicans. That's why I go back to what I
said earlier, the amount of money that is swimming in Washington,
(28:45):
d C. The only historical comparison I can have or
that comes to my mind is the Roman Empire, the
late Roman Empire. How Rome was everything Rome. It was
highly centralized. Rome ran a vast empire, and everybody in
(29:06):
the Roman Senate was on the take. Everybody around the
emperor was on the take because there was just so
much money and power. You just the temptation is just
too great. So until we break that, it's almost impossible
to break the swamp. It just the temptation. Now, there
(29:29):
are a few I'm not saying it's hopeless because there
are really there are some few people up there. You
can tell they're not there to make money. They're really
there to serve their constituents. But when I say you
can count them on two hands, I'm talking ten in
a body of five hundred and thirty five. And these people,
by the way, are ostracized and hated, and it's always
(29:53):
and by the way, those are the ones that you
see the most vicious attacks against in the media. They're
the ones racist, anti submit it whatever. They'll come up
with something sexist, so you always know are like, oh, okay, okay,
that person won't take money. Oh suddenly, and that person
(30:14):
then is public enemy number one. So it really is
a big club. And the moment you're elected, they tell
you can go along to get along, and you'll have
more money, more benefits, more perks, more luxury, more power
than you could ever imagine, or we are going to
(30:34):
turn you into a pariah. And very few people have
that the character, the intestinal fortitude to stand up to that.
So I'm with you, Chuck Grassley is no friend of
Donald Trump. And you see it on the judges, you
see it on the US attorneys, you see it everywhere.
(30:57):
They're blocking Trump wherever they can. Tom, thank you so
much for that call. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight. Sixty eight is the number John in Lowell.
Thanks for holding John, and welcome Jeff.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
How many years has it been since Obamacare?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Oh it's been a while now, it's been over fifteen years? Right, Okay,
thank fortune.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Memory. Do you remember that day that happened and I
was driving down Retree and I called you when I
asked you this question, as a country ever gotten to
this point and made it back to what it's originally
supposed to be? And your answer was no? So Jeff,
what have we been doing for the last fifteen years? Talking? Complaining? Jeff.
(31:48):
They're not scared of the deeps dates, they're complicit. Let's
face it. You know what do we iive little children.
We know what's going on, Jeff. Nothing is going to
get done anytime they put these cases in front of
a civil court. Jiff. I'm starting to think Trump's part
of the game because all he has to do is
(32:09):
military tribunals. The enter is in front of everybody's face,
yet he's not doing it. This is treason. This is
not a joke. People were hung for this years ago,
hung publicly. It's a game, Jeff, And where the suckers
that are playing it? You have hundreds of thousands of
(32:32):
people in Italy on the streets. You have almost a million,
maybe more in London on the streets. Meanwhile, we're sitting
here in our nice little warmhouses thinking everything's gonna be fine. Well,
it's not, Jeff, until we hit the streets a massive, massive, peaceful,
(32:55):
peaceful to the deep date numbers. Jeff, that's it, that's John.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Ask you this, well, John, look, you're making a fascinating point.
Let me ask you this. Let's just drill a little
bit deeper, my friend, how is it that now, I
don't know how many cases it's been. Every time the
Democrat is indicted, they get a Democrat hack judge. Every
single time Trump is indicted, he gets a Democrat hack judge.
(33:28):
It's just incredible. It's one hundred out of one hundred.
So my question to you, John, really, is this just
the greatest coincidence in the history of the world or
is this is our judicial system deliberately rigged? And are
the Republicans complicit in the rigging of this system? What
(33:51):
say you.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Show them their pockets too, Show me one of them
up there that's hungry. I want to know what every
one of them for us, Jeff. We're being played for fools,
and we continue to fall for it. Enough, the whole
system's going to be crashed. Jeff. The only way to
do it hit the streets. That's it. Give me another rancho, Jeff.
(34:17):
What else is going to work? What haven't we done
over the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Well, look, honestly, in the past, I would have said
vote right, you know, vote, but we keep voting, and
we keep voting, and we keep voting. And look, that's why, John, again,
I don't want to bring it back to Marjorie Taylor Green,
but that's what she said in her farewell video. It
was heartbreaking, where, you know, especially the first couple of
(34:42):
lines where she said, how is it no matter which
party we vote for, no matter how many times we vote,
the forgotten American man and the forgotten American women are
always put last. How is it that the same policies endure,
it doesn't matter who's in power, and the same interests
(35:05):
get wealthier and fatter and fatter and fatter, while we,
the American people, continue to get thinner and thinner and thinner.
And I remember looking at them, I remember watching it
and listening and I'm like you know that's true. Like
I can't deny that. It's just we never come first,
(35:28):
we don't even come second, we don't even come third.
We're always last. We always just get the crumbs off
the table. Yet this is supposed to be our government.
They're supposed to work for us. A democratic government. I
know we're a constitutional republic, I get it. But a
democratic government, by theory, is owned by the shareholders. Who
(35:52):
are the shareholders. We the people, we own this government,
which means and by the way, that's the way it
should be. It's consent of the government. So their legitimacy
flows from the fact that they work for us. Yet
I mean, I don't feel like they work for me.
You don't feel like they work for you. Let me
(36:13):
ask the audience, do you feel like they work for you?
Like you get up and say no, these are our people. No,
they're working for me. Every single day. I haven't felt that.
Doesn't matter Republican or Democrat, I never feel it. And
I think that's the crisis now that we face. People
are starting to wake up and they're saying, no, the
(36:36):
swamp always wins always.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
John.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Final word to you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Bud, different wins.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
John, have a happy blessed Thanksgiving. God bless you my
friend Dan in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Dan and.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Welcome taking the call, Jeff. Really good callers today. Happy
Thanksgiving to everyone.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Shop Thanksgiving, Dan, you You've.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Made some terrific points.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
But I feel like I'm not being heard. I feel
that the country is not being heard. I feel that
the people are basically not in control. Way out of
we have let the reins go and the horses are
running wild. And now you know, it's been going on
for decades and decades and decades and decades. It's an
(37:37):
inverted pyramid where we're all being shaken down and all
the riches and at the point of the pyramid and
the rest of us are struggling from day to day.
And the only way that I can see, the only
way that I can see, is we need to strengthen
our team.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
The bond.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
He's cash battel. I mean, it's just like anything. If
you can't do it, step aside, let somebody else do it.
What the problem is here is that Trump. Of course,
he's doing a hell of a job. He's paying attention
and putting out a lot of fighters in the world
that really need to be put out. And he's doing
great in every way, but you know as well as
(38:22):
I do, if they win the midterms, we're back in
the crapper and Trump's going to be indicted another ninety times,
so is in his family, and so isn't everyone that's
done anything for him, because it's already it's like already
repeated itself. We're seeing the same movie over and over again.
(38:43):
And the only way to take care of this is
you've got to go low. And when I mean low,
you got to hit these people at the knees. You've
got to get the judges, the assistant attorney generals, the governors.
You have got to basically stop their groundwork and take
them out in the lower levels, because, let's face it,
(39:06):
everything's going into the judges. I mean, you know Comy's
at fault, you know clapp is at fault. We know
that these people have committed crimes, but unfortunately they're above
the law when all of us have to pay attention
to the LAWA And it gets dim frustrating as an individual,
as a citizen to watch that what goes on with
(39:27):
me every day doesn't go on with them because they're
privileged and I'm getting pretty godd well.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
You know, Dan. Please hang on. I want you to
finish your thought. And I understand you're upset, because honestly,
everybody is
Six one seven two six, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, you want to you want to
see what a joke of a media we have. I mean,
I know all of you know this already, but they
just keep, you know, beclowning themselves more and more and more.
So here is just a small montage. I could go
(00:21):
on for hours. I'm just gonna give it to you
in twenty seconds. This is CNN an MS now uh
celebrating the dismissal of the indictments against both James Comey
and Letitia James roll cut seven, Mike.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
There were so many different issues with these prosecutions. It
was kind of a question of which one was really
going to be the one.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
To get in the way.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The cases have now been dismissed and probably delivered a
humiliating defeat to the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
No doubt, this is a huge defeat for the Trump
administration at this point.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
This is a significant ruling and someone will see it
as a victory for the.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Rule of law.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And it just went on and on and on and on.
It was a technical ruling that by the way, again,
none of these people can defend what call me said
or did. None of these people can defend what Letitia
James said or did. So Notice no one wants to
(01:28):
talk about the merits of the case. It's just anything
is somehow a blow against Trump, and that's how they roll.
This is all pure propaganda. That's what you're getting now
from the media. Now, hopefully they can get their ducks
(01:48):
in a row and repeal this because call Me deserves
to be behind bars and Leticia James deserves to be
behind bars. And I got it. Say one last thing.
Both of them loved to play these little technical games
to go after people. You know, Remember it was call
(02:11):
Me that gave the order to take down General Michael
Flynn and get him on some technicality about false statements,
even though the FBI personnel that were interviewing General Flynn
said he never lied to us. They both both of them,
the two agents said, you know in writing, but he
(02:33):
never lied to us. Doesn't matter. Get him on a technicality.
Same thing with Letitia James. She went after Trump on
technicality after technicality after technicality. So believe me, these two
people deserve to go to jail. Agree disagree, Six one
(02:55):
seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight is the
number Jeff in quin Z. Thanks for holding Jeff and welcome.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Hey Jeff, how are you again? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Thanksgiving? All the best to you and your family.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Jeff, you as well, my friend.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I have a couple things.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Actually, So the thing the media.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Is not talking about suspiciously enough is that Letitia James
claimed income on this property, which by the way, was
a four family a five families. She claimed as a
four family because of the interest rates thrown at commercial property,
which would have been.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
A lot higher.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But never mind that she claimed income in twenty one,
zero income in twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
That should be a serious tax problem for any other
American in the United States. It would be a big deal.
Second of all, James call me the guy who's a
snake oil salesman. Is he gonna go to jail?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
He best?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
He had best, because quite frankly, I'm done following the
rule of law with these clowns, and and they've shown
wholeheartedly that apparently people are above the law. And quite frankly,
the American people should be sick and tired of it.
And I've said it before. It's time we the American
people stop going to work stop sending money into the
treasury and we figure out how a thirty eight trillion
(04:20):
dollars in debt country because it's bills on Friday. It's
the only way to end this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
At this point, I gotta ask you. And by the way,
you're on fire. You're right. Letitia James didn't just commit
mortgage fraud. She committed tax fraud. I mean they can
put her, they can put her behind bars for twenty
five years if they want. You're completely right. But just
to your point about Camy, what are Republicans so afraid of? No, No, really, Jeff, honestly,
(04:45):
like what why is it here? Look, just stand back.
Whatever you think of her, and I can't stand her.
I'm with you, Jeff, But you've got this loull life
rinky dink New York attorney general. That's what Letitia James
was or is. And she almost brought down the President
of the United States, Donald J.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I know he was a former president at the time,
but she almost got him behind burs and almost bankrupted
him in his entire financial empire. So you got this
low life, low level apparachick, that's what she is.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I know she was backed by the Party. I know
she was backed by Biden. I know she was backed
by Merrick Garland. I get all that, But my point
is these Democrats, they get some no name loser like
Letitia James, and they come within a hair's whisker of
putting a former president in prison for five hundred years
(05:46):
on nothing, and yet when it comes to Republicans, they're
guilty as sin, and they they just can't seem to
put anybody behind bars. What's your theory, Jeff.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
I have a simple theory, ranch and it's the only theory.
The fact of the matter is Democrat I mean Republicans
a complacent in it and exactly why they did to
Donald Trump what they did to everyone to ski in
the deep state. If they can do that to Trump,
what can they do to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I think you nailed it now. I think you really
nailed it, Jeff. Again, Happy Thanksgiving, all the best to
you and your family. They're petrified as a deep state.
I mean, I guess why I keep saying they're a
bunch of cowards. And that's why I'm sorry. But that's
why I'm going to defend Lindsay Halligan. Because you can
say whatever you want about her, She's not a coward.
(06:43):
In other words, like, is anybody going to go after
call me? She goes, puts her hand up. I'll do it.
I'm not afraid. Six one seven two six, six sixty
eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, lines are blazing.
I'm gonna go right to the phone lines, I promise.
But I just want to read this to you. Please,
whatever you're doing, stop, you need to hear this. And
(07:06):
the only reason why you're going to say, well, Jeff,
we kind of knew this, but I just want to
show it really highlights, and I just I really want
to show the difference between Republicans and Democrats. So even
I want you to just think about this. Even when
the Democrats don't have the White House, they don't have
(07:27):
the House, they don't have the Senate, they don't have
the Supreme Court, and they just keep blocking Trump. They're
in the minority across the board, and they just keep
obstructing and blocking and paralyzing. And it just now we're
slowly going into the second year of Trump's presidency. Chuck Schumer,
(07:50):
Chuck you Schumer. This is when he was the majority leader,
right last year. He does an interview and he openly brags,
I believe it was with PBS. So he gives an
interview and he says, no, no, no, no. He said, listen,
(08:11):
last year, we installed his words, two hundred and thirty
five progressive judges. We put two hundred and thirty five
progressive judges on the bench. And he says, we put
him there for one reason, to make sure that if
(08:32):
Trump came back to power, they would deliberately rule against Trump.
His words again and again and again. In other words,
he's saying, you think I we confirm them as fast
as you can send them to us, and then we
(08:54):
stock them across the judiciary, and we basically make sure
that whenever there's an important case, they get you know, scheam,
look at this, we get a judge, we get our
judge on the case. Allah James, call Melatisha James and
blank you President Trump. And that's how we just keep
(09:15):
obstructing him. And he openly briges about it. Now, my
point is a simple one. How come we can't put
two hundred and thirty five mega judges? How come we
can't put two hundred and thirty five conservative judges? Okay,
forget two hundred and thirty five MAGA judges. That's too much.
How about twenty five to fifty MAGA US attorneys Conservative
(09:40):
US attorneys. We can't do that. And the ultimate problem
is because Thune is not He's not Chuck Schumer. Thune
is not playing for Trump. Thune is playing for the swamp.
And that's why we I keep getting sabotaged again and again.
(10:02):
And I don't want to revisit the Marjorie Taylor Green issue.
We said everything we needed to say on it yesterday,
but this was exactly her point. Now, wasn't about two
and it was about Mike Johnson. She said, I don't understand.
These are her words. She said, I put up bills
that I want to make permanent Trump's executive orders, because
(10:26):
an executive order can be rescinded, boom, the next time
there's a Democrat president, it's gone. So she said, I
wanted to make it into law, codified into law, and
every time I tried English as an official language, that
the census should be based on American citizens and not
(10:46):
just anybody and everybody in a district, which would dramatically
change the kind of power that the Democrats have. Issue
after issue H one B visa she ran down the
whole list. Every time I put up a bill, Mike
Johnson won't allow it to go to the floor for
a vote. We're constantly being sabotaged by leadership. And here
(11:12):
we are again. And now for now at least call
me and Letitia James. Their indictments were dismissed. Now hopefully
this will be overturned on appeal. But what I'm saying is,
come on, man, like, we got to turn this thing around.
(11:32):
The clock is ticking. Agree, disagree? Mark in Medford, Thanks
for holding Mark and welcome.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Hey, good morning, Jeff.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
First off, I want to say happy Thanksgiving to you, Sandy,
Mike and all your families.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Thank you, all the best, Happy blessed Thanksgiving to you
and the whole family.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Mark, Thank you, sir. And she's my voice.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
If it goes in and out, I'm just getting over
being six, so I apologize at a time. So what
I want, what I want to first say is this,
you were talking about having the guts earlier, having the balls. Yeah,
well you know what, Colly has the balls to go
on national television and say this is why Trump cannot
use the DOJ to put away his political opponents. Well, Jeff,
(12:21):
if I'm not mistaken, the day Trump came down the
escalator in twenty fifty, is that not what they try
to do to him?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So what reason?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Because they said he was an agent of Russia?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Right?
Speaker 8 (12:36):
So, and you used and you used your political I mean,
you used it the DOJ against Donald Trump. But you're
gonna go on national TV and say Donald Trump can't
do the same thing like you always say, Jeff, what's
good for the ghost's good for the gander. Now what
I'm what I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Trying to having trouble wrapping my head around is this.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You had two.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Federal grand jury's hand down two indictments, one for Comy,
one for Laticia James. Now, you can't just hand on
an indictment unless you have sufficient evidence to hand down
an indictment. But I guess any Democrat district judge can
(13:19):
dismiss the indictments. Well, there goes your old dairy, jeffub
You can indict a hand sandwich because obviously you can't
indict a hand sandwich if a Democrat federal judge is involved.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, you know, Mark, that's a brilliant point, Absolutely brilliant,
because that's what legal experts. I mean, I'll play a
couple of cuts because we have them, and they're very
good cuts. But they were like, what, you know, what
is this judge. The judge is Judge Cameron Curry, the
Clinton hack that dismissed the indictments, saying, what is this
judge smoking? They had every right to bring these charges
(13:54):
against Comy and against Letitia James. And the technicality they're
arguing is is it's unconstitutional. What the judge did was
blatantly illegal and unconstitutional and so and by the way,
the Attorney General fully ratified Lindsay Halligan as the interim
(14:14):
US attorney. So in other words, I don't want to
get too into the weeds here, but literally you had
the Attorney General come in and say, as Attorney General
of the United States, along with the senior leadership of
the Department of Justice, we are letting you know that
what Lindsay Halligan is doing has the full support of
(14:36):
the DOJ. We stand behind both indictments. And you're right,
both of them were issued by not one, but two
grand juries. So again you have a liberal, leftist, activist
judge who is making it up from the bench, who says, no,
(14:58):
I have more power than the Attorney General. I have
more power than the entire DJ I have more power
than the President of the United States, and they just
keep letting these liberal judges get away basically with murder.
It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. Mark. I've got to ask
you this because look, you've been calling this show for
(15:20):
a long time. You're one of our best callers. You're
an incredibly astute observer of politics. You just are. What
is it with the Republican psyche? What is it with
the Republican DNA? Nobody ever is held accountable when they
have power. It's just incredible. Nobody ever goes to jail. Now,
(15:44):
why is that? Really? What is it with Republicans? Why
are they so afraid, say, to go up against the
Komi or to go up against the Letitia James when
the case is so obvious. I mean, I gotta say,
Caroline len I thought, really hit it out of the park.
She goes, he blamed me, like, call me led the Congress.
(16:07):
I mean, it's it's so clear Letitia James committed mortgage fraud.
There's no doubt. So why are Republicans so spineless and gutless?
What's your theory, Mark, It's funny.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
I think great minds think. I like here because my
question to you was going to be since twenty and fifteen,
you need to tell me that the Republicans could not
find one conservative judge to dismiss any of the Trump
and White indictments. So I don't know why they're afraid, Jeff.
(16:47):
Maybe because they know it's not the legal thing to do,
and they played too much by the book. And you
know what I think sometimes when they do that, Jeff,
it burns their.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Ass and the.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Mark, thank you very much for that call. I really
appreciate it. Look, it's this country club mentality again. I
go back to Nute Gingrich. You know his famous line.
Democrats play smash mouth football, Republicans play badminton. You know,
lock there all. You know badminton, Like you know they
dress in white white shirts and you know, white shorts
(17:25):
and white sneakers, and you know they play badminton like
I don't want to hurt you. You don't hurt me.
I don't hurt you. It's we're genteel, we're above it all.
We're at a country club. We sit by tea and
you know, and talk about the weather and the Democrats
are just we'll smash you in the mouth. We'll do
whatever we got to do. Tom in Framingham. Thanks for
(17:48):
holding Tom and welcome.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Thank Jeff. It's a good show today, really good show.
Let's thank you. This all goes back to me. Some
of this goes back to the what hacks.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, I'm going to go right back to Tom and Framingham.
But before I do, it's the Kooner Country Poll Question
of the Day sponsored by Mario's Mario's Quality Roofing, Siding
and Windows. The cases against James call Mey and Letitia
(18:28):
James were dismissed because of a an activist judge or
b DOJ incompetence. So what do you think ultimately is
to blame or who do you think is ultimately to
blame for the fact that, at least for now the
indictments against both Comy and Letitia James have been dismissed?
(18:52):
Is it because of a liberal activist judge, A or
b incompetence on the part of Pambondy and the Department
of Justice. Now, if I was to vote again, I'm
not allowed to vote. I don't vote on these polls.
I can't but by the way, just because I'm the host,
you know, don't mind me, you know, but Sandy and
(19:16):
might consist I can't vote. I can't vote. I'm like, okay, fine, hey,
it's just in theory my show. But you know, but
let that go. So I don't vote. But if I
was to vote, honestly, it's a bit of both. I mean,
I think it's really Yeah, obviously it's a hack judge,
but I got to tell you, man, geez, they they
(19:37):
you know, they were they weren't brilliant in the you know,
in the way they presented this in front of A
I mean, the grand jury was fine, but in terms
of defending Lindsey Halligan's legal constitutional validity to go ahead
with these cases, the DJ on that side was sloppy.
There's no question. But in the end I would vote A.
(19:59):
I think to me, it's clearly more A than B
an activist judge. But that's me I want to hear
from you. You can vote on our web page wrko
dot com slash coooner wrko dot com slash coooner kuh
and is in national Er. You can also vote via
(20:21):
x and again last night very active on x my
handle there all one word at the Kooner Report. K
uh And is in national Er at the Kooner Report. Okay,
let's go right back to Tom and Framingham. Tom, you
are making the point about these hacks and hack judges
(20:45):
and what a danger they are. Please pick up where
you left off.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It's the hack. The hack judges are obvious. It doesn't
seem to be any way around that.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Well, there is.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
Actually the problem is a set it. Linday Halligan, I guess,
is on a one hundred and twenty day appointment and
she's got She has absolutely no chance of being confirmed
as a permanent US Attorney in Virginia. And you know why,
because she doesn't pass the blue slip criteria. There's no
(21:19):
way that you could get Mark Warner, either Mark Warner
or Tim Kaine to vote for her. And the problem
is that's not a law, that's just some old hack rule.
It's actually a cudgel that these hack Republicans used to
(21:39):
keep certain people out. And Grassley, who's the head of
the Judiciary Committee, he'd vote against her. She wouldn't get
the votes, she wouldn't be able to go through Judiciary
to be appointed.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Tom, why do you think someone like Grassley would, I
agree with you. By the way, is this you know,
just for the audience, Tom, just very quick, The blue
slip tradition is a tradition. It's not in the law,
it's not in the constitution. He's right. It's like a
hack tradition in the Senate whereby if you're going to
confirm a US attorney, you have to run it by
(22:17):
the two senators from that particular state. So in this
case the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsay Halligan, if she's
going to be confirmed, you basically they give a veto
to the two Democrat senators, Tim Kain and Warner. And
so that's this tradition. And I think it's a ridiculous tradition.
(22:40):
I think it's a corrupt tradition. I would get rid
of it. But let that go. Why do you think
Grassly would oppose Lindsay Halligan. I agree with you, he would,
But just if you if you can flush it out
a bit, why do you think that. I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Tom to slow down, not just blow down.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
But he wants to prevent some of these Trump appointees
from getting on there. And the blue slip, the blue
slip applies to judges too. This is why you have
this is why you've got some Trump appointees in Massachusetts.
I forgot the name of the guy, but making some
of these rulings against Trump because there's no way, there's
(23:23):
no way he'd be able to get anyone through who
didn't there's no way he wouldn't be able to that
he gets, he'd be able to get anyone through besides
the Democratic flap. And that's that's what uh, that's what
some of the Trump appointees are. On the other hand,
you look at the other side, they're getting everyone through.
(23:43):
You know, say what you want about John Kennedy and
his clever, clever remarks and his things, and he's.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Not stopping he's not stopping too many of these people,
or of these Biden people from getting through. Most of
them got through.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
They made deals to get four or five district court
judges through in the end after Biden was laying duck
after the election. But I think.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I also think that there's some you know, I hate
to It's not like one of these people, you know,
these conspiracy theorists, But I think I think Grassley and
others of these Republicans have their paymasters. And Alensei Graham's
another one on the Judiciary Committee, who who gave Biden
(24:34):
just about everyone he appointed.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And you know, oh, look, Tom, I know Chuck. I
mean I don't not think I'm friends, obviously, but I
know Chuck Rossley. I've met Chuck Rossley. I covered Chuck
Grassley when I was at the Washington Times. It's an
open secret in Washington. He is in the pocket of
the military industrial complex. And to be more specific, I
(25:02):
don't know if she still is, but he and his wife.
I mean, this is the corruption. See people often ask me, well, Jeff,
what's the real corruption in Washington? You know, I honestly,
in some ways I almost prefer the old days, like
one hundred and one hundred and twenty years ago, where
they'd walk into a congressman, say a lobbyist, and stuff
money in a brown paper bag and go here, literally
(25:24):
just throw it on the table. Here it is vote
my way, here, take it here, because at least it's honest.
It's corrupt, it's criminal, don't get me wrong, but okay,
it's honest. Here's the money. Vote And that's it what
they do in Washington now. And this is what they
call legal corruption is the lobbyists go to the member
(25:47):
of Congress or the Senator and then say, we're gonna
get your spouse to sit on our board, and we're
gonna pay your spouse millions and millions obscene amounts of money.
And all they've got to do to check all the
box is because you know, if you're just gonna give,
say Grassley's wife, I'm just gonna make up a figure now,
(26:08):
twelve million dollars to sit on your board, well it's
it's naked graft. I mean, it's it's pay to play.
So what they do is she has to attend and
they do this I think, what is it three times
a year or four times a year, whatever it is,
it's either every three months or every four months a
board meeting. And so they fly them in first class.
(26:30):
You know, you should see the breakfast spread. I'm telling you,
beautiful breakfast spread. And they have the board meeting and
Grassley's wife nothing against a wife, very I'm sure she's
a great grandmother, but she's knitting. Literally, she's knitting. You
see your knitting. The whole board meeting, she's just knitting.
And she's there for her compulsory. What is it two
(26:52):
hours or whatever long a board meeting is. And there
you go, and they put her back on a plane
and she's back to Des Moines in Iowa. And the
cast just keeps coming in and it's all through the
spouse again. The Biden crime family. That was the basic model.
None of the money went technically to Joe Biden. It
went to everybody but Joe Biden. It went to Hunter,
(27:16):
it went to Frankie, it went to Jimmy, It went
to the brothers, it went to the sister, it went
to the Sun. They even got the grandkids involved, and
of course everybody gets a little slice, but in the
end it goes to the big guy. It's the same
thing with so many Republicans. It's both and so grassly
(27:36):
in particular, like Lindsey Graham is especially. They are, when
I say, swimming hell drowning in big defense contract money,
military industrial complex money. Well, Trump is a guy who's
pledged to end foreign worse. Trump is the guy who
keeps saying, can we get our troops out of Europe?
(27:59):
Can we have other countries ponying up more and pay
for their defense? Can we start retrenching a little bit
around the world. Well, that's not good for business, you know,
like the thing about him ending all these wars, it's
not good for the military industrial complex. They don't like
that there's less missiles to sell, tanks to sell, artillery
(28:21):
to sell, drones to sell. You know, that's not good
for them. So they want him out, or at a minimum,
they want him neotered. And that's why you have so
many Republicans. That's why I go back to what I
said earlier, the amount of money that is swimming in Washington,
(28:45):
d C. The only historical comparison I can have or
that comes to my mind is the Roman Empire, the
late Roman Empire. How Rome was everything Rome. It was
highly centralized. Rome ran a vast empire, and everybody in
(29:06):
the Roman Senate was on the take. Everybody around the
emperor was on the take because there was just so
much money and power. You just the temptation is just
too great. So until we break that, it's almost impossible
to break the swamp. It just the temptation. Now, there
(29:29):
are a few I'm not saying it's hopeless because there
are really there are some few people up there. You
can tell they're not there to make money. They're really
there to serve their constituents. But when I say you
can count them on two hands, I'm talking ten in
a body of five hundred and thirty five. And these people,
by the way, are ostracized and hated, and it's always
(29:53):
and by the way, those are the ones that you
see the most vicious attacks against in the media. They're
the ones racist, anti submit it whatever. They'll come up
with something sexist, so you always know are like, oh, okay, okay,
that person won't take money. Oh suddenly, and that person
(30:14):
then is public enemy number one. So it really is
a big club. And the moment you're elected, they tell
you can go along to get along, and you'll have
more money, more benefits, more perks, more luxury, more power
than you could ever imagine, or we are going to
(30:34):
turn you into a pariah. And very few people have
that the character, the intestinal fortitude to stand up to that.
So I'm with you, Chuck Grassley is no friend of
Donald Trump. And you see it on the judges, you
see it on the US attorneys, you see it everywhere.
(30:57):
They're blocking Trump wherever they can. Tom, thank you so
much for that call. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight. Sixty eight is the number John in Lowell.
Thanks for holding John, and welcome Jeff.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
How many years has it been since Obamacare?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Oh it's been a while now, it's been over fifteen years? Right, Okay,
thank fortune.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Memory. Do you remember that day that happened and I
was driving down Retree and I called you when I
asked you this question, as a country ever gotten to
this point and made it back to what it's originally
supposed to be? And your answer was no? So Jeff,
what have we been doing for the last fifteen years? Talking? Complaining? Jeff.
(31:48):
They're not scared of the deeps dates, they're complicit. Let's
face it. You know what do we iive little children.
We know what's going on, Jeff. Nothing is going to
get done anytime they put these cases in front of
a civil court. Jiff. I'm starting to think Trump's part
of the game because all he has to do is
(32:09):
military tribunals. The enter is in front of everybody's face,
yet he's not doing it. This is treason. This is
not a joke. People were hung for this years ago,
hung publicly. It's a game, Jeff, And where the suckers
that are playing it? You have hundreds of thousands of
(32:32):
people in Italy on the streets. You have almost a million,
maybe more in London on the streets. Meanwhile, we're sitting
here in our nice little warmhouses thinking everything's gonna be fine. Well,
it's not, Jeff, until we hit the streets a massive, massive, peaceful,
(32:55):
peaceful to the deep date numbers. Jeff, that's it, that's John.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Ask you this, well, John, look, you're making a fascinating point.
Let me ask you this. Let's just drill a little
bit deeper, my friend, how is it that now, I
don't know how many cases it's been. Every time the
Democrat is indicted, they get a Democrat hack judge. Every
single time Trump is indicted, he gets a Democrat hack judge.
(33:28):
It's just incredible. It's one hundred out of one hundred.
So my question to you, John, really, is this just
the greatest coincidence in the history of the world or
is this is our judicial system deliberately rigged? And are
the Republicans complicit in the rigging of this system? What
(33:51):
say you.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Show them their pockets too, Show me one of them
up there that's hungry. I want to know what every
one of them for us, Jeff. We're being played for fools,
and we continue to fall for it. Enough, the whole
system's going to be crashed. Jeff. The only way to
do it hit the streets. That's it. Give me another rancho, Jeff.
(34:17):
What else is going to work? What haven't we done
over the last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Well, look, honestly, in the past, I would have said
vote right, you know, vote, but we keep voting, and
we keep voting, and we keep voting. And look, that's why, John, again,
I don't want to bring it back to Marjorie Taylor Green,
but that's what she said in her farewell video. It
was heartbreaking, where, you know, especially the first couple of
(34:42):
lines where she said, how is it no matter which
party we vote for, no matter how many times we vote,
the forgotten American man and the forgotten American women are
always put last. How is it that the same policies endure,
it doesn't matter who's in power, and the same interests
(35:05):
get wealthier and fatter and fatter and fatter, while we,
the American people, continue to get thinner and thinner and thinner.
And I remember looking at them, I remember watching it
and listening and I'm like you know that's true. Like
I can't deny that. It's just we never come first,
(35:28):
we don't even come second, we don't even come third.
We're always last. We always just get the crumbs off
the table. Yet this is supposed to be our government.
They're supposed to work for us. A democratic government. I
know we're a constitutional republic, I get it. But a
democratic government, by theory, is owned by the shareholders. Who
(35:52):
are the shareholders. We the people, we own this government,
which means and by the way, that's the way it
should be. It's consent of the government. So their legitimacy
flows from the fact that they work for us. Yet
I mean, I don't feel like they work for me.
You don't feel like they work for you. Let me
(36:13):
ask the audience, do you feel like they work for you?
Like you get up and say no, these are our people. No,
they're working for me. Every single day. I haven't felt that.
Doesn't matter Republican or Democrat, I never feel it. And
I think that's the crisis now that we face. People
are starting to wake up and they're saying, no, the
(36:36):
swamp always wins always.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
John.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Final word to you, my friend.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Bud, different wins.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
John, have a happy blessed Thanksgiving. God bless you my
friend Dan in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Dan and.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Welcome taking the call, Jeff. Really good callers today. Happy
Thanksgiving to everyone.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Shop Thanksgiving, Dan, you You've.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Made some terrific points.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
But I feel like I'm not being heard. I feel
that the country is not being heard. I feel that
the people are basically not in control. Way out of
we have let the reins go and the horses are
running wild. And now you know, it's been going on
for decades and decades and decades and decades. It's an
(37:37):
inverted pyramid where we're all being shaken down and all
the riches and at the point of the pyramid and
the rest of us are struggling from day to day.
And the only way that I can see, the only
way that I can see, is we need to strengthen
our team.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
The bond.
Speaker 7 (38:00):
He's cash battel. I mean, it's just like anything. If
you can't do it, step aside, let somebody else do it.
What the problem is here is that Trump. Of course,
he's doing a hell of a job. He's paying attention
and putting out a lot of fighters in the world
that really need to be put out. And he's doing
great in every way, but you know as well as
(38:22):
I do, if they win the midterms, we're back in
the crapper and Trump's going to be indicted another ninety times,
so is in his family, and so isn't everyone that's
done anything for him, because it's already it's like already
repeated itself. We're seeing the same movie over and over again.
(38:43):
And the only way to take care of this is
you've got to go low. And when I mean low,
you got to hit these people at the knees. You've
got to get the judges, the assistant attorney generals, the governors.
You have got to basically stop their groundwork and take
them out in the lower levels, because, let's face it,
(39:06):
everything's going into the judges. I mean, you know Comy's
at fault, you know clapp is at fault. We know
that these people have committed crimes, but unfortunately they're above
the law when all of us have to pay attention
to the LAWA And it gets dim frustrating as an individual,
as a citizen to watch that what goes on with
(39:27):
me every day doesn't go on with them because they're
privileged and I'm getting pretty godd well.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
You know, Dan. Please hang on. I want you to
finish your thought. And I understand you're upset, because honestly,
everybody is
