Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boston's bulldozer never sleeps. The Kooner Report weekend edition on
the Voice of Boston w RKO.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Joining me now as she always does at this time,
doctor Grace putting liberals in their place. Grace vuoto Grace.
How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I am well, Jeff, thank you for having me on
my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I want to play a cut. Mike Carney, the Canadian
Prime Minister, was in what was at the White House yesterday,
made a lot of news, and this is what he
said to President Trump. Now you remember Carney won his
election just a couple of weeks ago campaigning against Trump,

(00:44):
saying that the era of American integration is over. He
is now going to stand up to Trump. He's gonna
punch him in the nose. He's gonna wage a trade war,
a tariff war with the United States, and he's gonna
show Trump whose boss. Yesterday not so much. Listen now
to Carney talking to Trump. Roll cut to Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Thank you for your hospitality and a and above all
for for your leadership. You're a You're a transformational president.
The focus on the economy with a relentless focus on
the American worker. UH, securing your borders providing ending the
scourge of fentanyl and other opioids and UH and securing
the world. And I've been elected UH with with my

(01:33):
colleagues here, with the help of my colleagues here, I
mean to spread spread the credit UH, to transform Canada
with a similar focus on the economy, securing our borders
again on fentanyl, UH, much greater focus on defense and security,
securing the Arctic, and developing the Artic.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
So he's talking about the Arctic and securing the Arctic,
and then he said that Canada is not for sale
and it never will be for sale, And of course
Trump responded, never say never. My question to you, Carney,
is Canada an ally still of the United States? And

(02:15):
do you blame Trump for Carney's victory in Canada as
many conservatives in Canada and here seem to be blaming Trump.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Jeff, Yes, I do blame Trump for Carney's victory. I
think that the Conservatives were poised to win that election,
and Canada is in desperate need of a good government,
especially one that would have been led by PIREV. But
Donald Trump, this version of Donald Trump, not that Trump

(02:46):
one point zero, but Trump two point zh for some reason,
has decided to antagonize our dearest allies, including Canada. And
it's not that he wants to renegotiate trade, which many
Canadians would have accepted, but his comments about turning Canada
into the fifty first state are deeply offensive. He has

(03:10):
wounded Canadian national pride, and to my astonishment, he's not
going to stop. Even yesterday he repeated again, and he
made the case again. And you can tell that Carney,
as every Canadian listening, you know, was beside himself. But
he tried as much as he could to placate the president.

(03:33):
He didn't want to repeat another Zelenski moment. But obviously
Canadians are furious at the United States and we would
be too in America if other countries spoke to us
the way that Trump is speaking to Canadians.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
See, that's where I kind of disagree with you, because
other countries around the world bad mouthed us all the time.
I mean, just to give you an example, just In Trudeau,
the previous Prime minister, after Trump won his election, said
that Trump is a racist, that it was racism that
brought him to power, sexism that brought him to power,

(04:13):
that America is still a racist sexist country for having
elected Donald Trump. We didn't get our panties in a wad.
We didn't clutch our pearls. We didn't act like the
sky was falling. We didn't start You know, Oh, our
feelings are hurt. And he's a loser, he's an idiot.
That's justin Trudeau. Let's move on. So I kind of

(04:36):
disagree with you. I mean, I gotta be honest. I
think Carney played up Trump as a boogeyman. You know,
you know this better than I do. You've got friends
in Montreal who are telling you on the phone they're
petrified of an invasion. That as if American troops are
amassing at the border, and that we're going to send
in the military and conquer in an ex Canada. I

(04:59):
think they're being his hysterical. I think they're being immature.
I think they're being completely misled by left wing pro
liberal propaganda in Canada, and that frankly, they should be
ashamed of themselves for electing a buffoon and a gangster
and a corrupt globalist like Carney. But that's me.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
What say you, Jeff? Listen, when Zelensky came to the
White House and he disrespected our president. Many Americans were furious,
as was I, and I defended the integrity of the nation,
the integrity of the presidency, and everything we had done
for Ukraine. So I disagree with you, Jeff, and I
think that the very warm, beautiful relationship that we have

(05:41):
had with Canada, it's emotional too, and Canadians do feel betrayed.
And it's not just the words that he's using. It's
also the actions that have been taken, which are a
blow are going to be a blow to the Canadian economy.
I can tell you from all my friends and relatives
that I've spoken to, they're hurt and they're furious, and

(06:02):
they don't feel that it's because they're being manipulated. It's
because they're responding to what.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
They'll get over it, you know, don't worry about it.
They'll get over it, you know. Or you know, cry
me a river. That's what I would tell all your
all of your Canadian friends, cry me a river. But
all right on this, we agree to disagree more next.
