It's Been A Really Tough Week

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't touch that. Diw It changed the channel because it's
seven pm on Sunday and you're listening to the hard truth.
But even everyone, I'm John Deaton on ihearts WRKO six
eighty am. If you can hear that a little despondent
in my voice, it's because it's been a rough week.

(00:23):
America just witnessed a heinous crime, not just on an
individual that individuals Charlie Kirk, but our republic, and it's
very difficult. I gotta tell you. I was I don't know,

(00:45):
never met Charlie Kirk, never had the pleasure, never had
the honor to talk to him. I agree with some
of the things that Charlie Kirk talked about. I disagree
with some things that Charlie Kirk believe. You know, he
was an adamant pro life person. I believe in a

(01:09):
woman's unrestricted right up into a certain point to have
an abortion. Doesn't mean I favored late term abortions or
anything like that, but up unto a certain point, I
believe a woman does have a right. So we have
stark differences on things, but I was shook, like many

(01:32):
of you out there. First of all, it's not about politics.
This is a thirty one year old young man who
has a one year old son and a three year
old daughter and a young wife. He was just starting
his family man, And shortly after his murder, I was

(01:55):
at a softball practice for my daughter Laila, and I
was sitting there. Christy and I were talking, and Christie
was actually crying that this man that we have never
met named Charlie Kirk, with his two young kids, never
going to get to experience that. He's never going to
get to experience a soccer game, ballet classes for his daughter, karate,

(02:19):
or any of the many many things that kids join
when they're young. And so it's more than a tragedy,
like I said, and it appears to be a targeted hit.
And I say that because not because he was shot

(02:40):
from two hundred yards and it was a kill shot.
Certainly wasn't someone who never shot a rifle before. But
if you you know, if you get the right rifle
with the high powered scope, you know, two hundred yards
is not that far. In the Marine Corps, even as

(03:01):
a lawyer, I was trained at five hundred yards. So
the reason I think it was a professional, organized type
hit is because the suspect hasn't been caught as of
me recording this show. Two suspects or people of interest

(03:23):
I should say, were talked to and then they were released.
The FBI has put out two photographs of the suspect.
They say they have video of the suspect. And I'm
confident that the FBI will in fact arrest eventually the

(03:43):
suspect who did this, and I think we're going to
find out that there's more than one person involved. And
the reason I say that is because the reason why
this looks to me like a professional type hit is
because of the exit strategy. This was planned, This was
between There had to be an exit strategy where this
person disappeared shortly after the shooting and probably had people help.

(04:11):
Now there's a lot of conspiracy theories online right now.
There were people who had that looked like they could
be signaling the shooter based on their arm movements. Of course,
the question that Charlie was answering related to two things,
transgenderism and mass shootings. And as he's answering a question

(04:38):
about mass shooting right after it referenced to transgenderism, he
is killed. And so many people don't believe that that
was an accident that that question was coordinated with the killer,
and so I believe there's more than one person involved.

(05:04):
There was also evidence of a private jet shortly like
thirty minutes after the killing took off. Basically their transponder.
It's called something else nowadays, but it's basically what allows
air traffic controller to see your altitude, to see exactly

(05:24):
where you are on the radar. And you're not supposed
to turn that off unless it's an emergency or some
other scenario. And that was turned off and then later
it turned on, So there's going to be investigations about
that as well. Now, the reason why I said that
this was not just an attack on Charlie Kirk but

(05:47):
an attack on our republic is because that's how America
was formed, how America was born. America was born and
heated debate, you know, from our founders. The Federalist papers

(06:09):
were all about heated argument related to the Constitution. I mean,
Hamilton and Madison went at it. They didn't really like
each other either, but they didn't use bullets, they used words,
they used persuasion. So you can even feel and hear

(06:32):
the tents debate as you read through the Federalist papers.
So we go back to the Lincoln Douglas debates about slavery.
Do you know how heated that was? Do you know
how passionate that was? But it remained civil and respectful

(06:52):
no matter how heated. And the reason why I say
it was an attack on our republic because if we
reord to violence related to heated political discourse, then we're done.
We don't just lose our way if that happens, we've

(07:15):
lost our soul as a country. And the reason it
was an attack is because Charlie Kirk, even though I
don't agree with everything he says, he's out there doing
what we're supposed to do. He's on a tour called
American Comeback Tour where he's literally telling people come see me,

(07:42):
come see me and debate me. He says, this is
what I believe, this is why I believe it, and
you can come prove me wrong. And someone would come up,
and it could be someone who is dying metrically opposed

(08:02):
to what Charlie Kirk stands for, and Charlie would say,
let's be respectful, let's be civil and engage with that person.
And the reality is is that Charlie Kirk was good
at He was one of the best, extremely brilliant, brilliant
young man, extremely well read. And so when he says,

(08:27):
prove me wrong, come and debate me. Instead of debating him,
they kill him. They kill him, and they killed a father,
and they killed a husband, and a family is devastated.
And so you know, the rifle that was found at

(08:50):
this stage of investigation. As far as I'm concerned, and
as a former federal prosecutor, I would oversee some of
these types of investigations, you have to have a completatly
opened mind. They found the rifle and there was on ammunition,
there was references to transgenderism. Then that goes back to

(09:11):
the question that Charlie was asked as he was murdered.
But the question is, since you can't find the suspect,
was that rifle meant to be found, was that evidence
meant to be found? Was that a distraction a diversion,
or was the person in a rush. Normally, if someone

(09:33):
emotionally says I'm gonna go kill Charlie Kirk, they would
make much more mistakes. They'd be in custody already. So
that's why I think that this person not only had
training with that rifle at two hundred yards enough to
basically do what's called a kill shot. A kill shot

(09:55):
is you don't hit center of masks because the person
could be wearing a bullet proved vest. You hit the neck,
you hit the head, and that's what the person did.
And the first the video that I saw that many
of you saw, when I saw the close up, I
prayed to God that it was AI and that it

(10:17):
was fake. And because I told Christie after seeing that video,
I said, listen, that's an unsurvivable shot. That's a kill shot.
There is no surviving. No human being is going to
survive a shot like that when your body reacts the
way it did and all of the blood and the

(10:41):
artery hit and all of those things. And so you know,
and of course we have to learn from this. You know,
Patrick who produces this show with me, brought up the
fact that you know, he owns drones, and there's questions, right,

(11:04):
why wasn't drones used surveillance? Drones cost two thousand dollars
and you can you know, survey and surveillance the rooftops
around them. Obviously there was you know, security breaches as well.
And hopefully when we get to public speakers. We can
learn from this mistake and provide better security. But the

(11:26):
fact that people have to worry that they're going to
be murdered because they say something unpopular, where they say
something that someone disagrees with, it is not who we
are as a country. We can't be that country. That's
not America. That's not the America that I fought in

(11:46):
the Marine Corps seven years for. So when we come
back from the break, will unpack some more about Charlie
Kirk and his murder. Stay with me. You're listening to
the hard truth. Back to the show. You listen to
the hard truth. I'm John Deaton. You can reach the
show at John at Hartruthshow dot com. John at Hartruthshow

(12:08):
dot com. I'm still a little shook. You know. We
were talking about Charlie Kirk and the fact that this
young man, his father, this husband, lost his life. And
there's a lot of people in politics, as far as
I'm concerned, that share in the blame. And it's on

(12:31):
both sides. You know, we can debate whether it's more
of the left or more on the right. You have,
you know, morons like Seth Molten, who gets on TV
and he, you know, uses this example and then says, oh,
but most of the violence in America is coming from

(12:51):
the right, not the left. I mean, so sick of
these politicians, these elected leaders, you know, just say it's
a tragedy, you know, Elizabeth Warren, all of them, They
get on TV and they say, you know, it's a tragedy.
And my hearts and prayers are to this family, the

(13:13):
Kirk family, and my thoughts and prayers are with his
wife and young children. But and I just want to
tell them stop, just stop, there's no butt. Just say
that it's a tragedy and say that your heart goes
out to this young family. Don't turn it into Now

(13:37):
you're going to talk about gun control, like Massachusetts has
one of the most restrictive gun laws in America. That
could have happened here. That rifle is not outlawed, all right.
It wasn't an AR fifteen, it wasn't AK forty seven.

(13:58):
It was a high powered boat action rifle. Okay, hunters
use that kind of rifle. And so unless you're gonna
take the position that the Second Amendment doesn't exist, you know,
using this as an example of how we've got to

(14:21):
have you know more laws preventing these type of guns.
It doesn't make any sense, okay, And so you have
many states that have these high strict gun laws. You know, schools.
Guns aren't allowed near schools, but we have gun shootings,

(14:43):
you know. And if we just did away with the
Second Amendment and banned all guns, all you would do
is create the best black market for weapons in the world,
because they're not going to go away. I think that
a band is going to stop people from getting guns

(15:06):
if they want to get guns. We have laws against cocaine,
people still use it. We had prohibition where you banned
alcohol and it became one of the most lucrative black
markets in history. So instead of always just wanting to
talk your political points and pique your agenda, just say

(15:30):
you feel bad for human being, you feel bad for
his kids. Don't say butt, right, and some of them
are butt. And the people who are blaming Charlie Kirk
and say, oh, you reap what you roll because he
was a defender of the Second Amendment, okay, just because
he believed in something that you didn't believe in, or

(15:51):
just because he feels strongly about something that you don't
feel as strong about. Doesn't mean the man deserved to
get shot and killed. Okay, So save us with your
projection and your politics and your agenda and all your
other nonsense that you engage in. Just say you're sorry.
It's a tragedy and that violence has no place in

(16:16):
our politics. It's called the First Amendment. Okay, it's in
the constitution. You have the right to get up and
say something that you believe in. If you think DEI
is bad, you can get up and say DEI is bad.
If you think climate control is the most existential threat
in the world today, then you're allowed to say it.
People can disagree with you, okay, But this is what

(16:39):
happens these politicians. Okay, use words like hitler, monster, trade
or threat of democracy, fascist, fascism, and what that does

(17:00):
when you engage in these dehumanization tactics, this humanizing rhetoric
that these elected leaders engage in. What you're doing, as
you're saying to these unstable people out there, yes they
must be eliminated. This person is hittler, This person is

(17:25):
a dictator, This person is evil, This person is a
threat to democracy, to our way of life. We must
eliminate them. If you talk like that, you're going to
incite them. You're going to incite people. So how about
you just dial down the damn rhetoric. How about instead

(17:48):
of insults, you offer better ideas. How about that? How
about better ideas not better insults. That's probably, I think
a way to go. I think a lot of voters
and people out there would appreciate that. You know, but
we have come in this society from heated debate at

(18:11):
town halls to now social media and echo chambers where
you have people who hide behind avatars and fake names
and they say vile things and they get to cheer
each other on. I mean, and we've seen some of
the most vile things, even here in Massachusetts. You had,

(18:34):
you know, framing him. In other places, teachers who teach
our kids celebrating, celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder an assassination. You
had people, you know, literally cheering what happened? Are you
kidding me? Is that how far that we have fallen

(18:58):
as a society? And so hopefully you know, people ask
me what do I think this will result in? And
what I said is that I hope a thousand Charlie
Kirks on both sides, Liberal Charlie Kirks, conservative Charlie Kirks,

(19:24):
but people who take the same approach. I'm going to
debate you. I'm going to tell you why I think
the way I do, why I think this is bad policy.
And I encourage you to come meet me face to face,
not online, face to face, and let's use respect and

(19:45):
civility and let's challenge each other. That's America. And I
think that's why I was taking Charlie Kirk's death so hard,
even though I have no connection to this man and
I disagree with many of the things that he says.
But anyways, you know, it is an absolute tragedy and

(20:12):
I don't know where we're headed in this country. I
really don't. The media is never going to help, I
mean not. In addition to the murder of Charlie Kirk,
we saw them the murder on public transit in North Carolina.

(20:33):
That young Ukrainian refugee twenty three years old who got
off her work shift minding her business, gets on public
transit system sits in front of an individual who happens
to be a black man, who then takes out his

(20:56):
pocket knife and unbeknownst to her, stands up behind her
and thrusts that knife several times into her neck and body,
and then he walks around the transit with blood dripping

(21:17):
everywhere and uttering the words, I got that white girl,
I got that white girl. Not one samaritan helped that girl.
Not one person tried to stop that person. That's what
shocked me, other than the brutality of this murder, the

(21:43):
fact that none of those people reacted, and that saddened me,
Like obviously her death sadened me, but that also sadened me.
This guy that murdered her was arrested fourteen times. Fourteen times.

(22:06):
I'm not mistating that his mother wanted him locked up.
His own mother and a young woman's life is over.
And why he was released by a magistrate in North

(22:26):
Carolina who's not even a lawyer, a person who was
hired because they are allowed to do that in North Carolina.
And this person, this magistrate asked him, do you promise
to come back to the next hearing, and he says yes.

(22:48):
That magistrate didn't do any analysis whatsoever on public safety,
no evaluation of whether this man was stable enough to
be released in public. She just says, hey, will you
come back? And he says yes, so a complete and

(23:09):
utter failure of our criminal justice system. But we're seeing
that not just in North Carolina. We're seeing that here
in Massachusetts. We're seeing it all across the country where
we have gotten into this softness on law and order.
You have, you know, people like Mayor Wu who will

(23:30):
talk about who will protect a child rapist from being
detected by ICE. I mean, we should all be able
to agree that a child rapist should not be out
on five hundred dollars bond, which has happened in Massachusetts
several times in the last couple of years, and that
person should be head handed over to Ice because they're

(23:54):
an illegal alien. On top of that, you listen to
the hard Truth. We'll come back right back. Welcome back
to this show. You're listening to the hard Truth. I'm
John Deaton. Before the break, we were talking about that
poor Ukrainian twenty three year old who was murdered on
the public transit system. We were talking about the failure

(24:14):
of our criminal justice system. We're talking about this lacks
attitude when it comes to law enforcement holding criminals responsible. Listen,
I've been a federal prosecutor, all right, and we've got

(24:35):
to get back to holding people responsible for their personal actions.
But we got to inject common sense. We were talking
about here in Massachusetts. We have seen case after case
after case of someone charged with something heinous rape, child rape,

(24:56):
and they're let out, and on top of that, they're
i legal, they're here illegally, and they're let out on
five hundred dollars cash bond. By the way, that five
hundred dollars they put up guaranteed was supplied by the taxpayers,
because Moriheey is just handing out your tax dollars to illegals.
Four billion dollars in four years, four billion dollars, okay,

(25:23):
At the same time that she said there was no
money to save Carnee Hospital in Dorchester, at the same
time that she said there was no money to save
Nashoba Medical Valley Center in Central mass So we lost
two hospitals in critical areas. A pregnant woman in parts
of central mass has to drive forty five minutes to
give birth now, because we didn't have any money courting

(25:44):
to morihey, but we had four billion dollars that we
would be able to pay for these illegals, including the
ones who have committed heinous crimes. It's got to stop
like this crazy where in North Carolina a non lawyer magistrate,
how come someone arrested fourteen times isn't before a real judge.

(26:10):
And I got to tell you there's a saying on
X and I've come to agree with it completely, and
that's saying is that you don't hate the mainstream media enough.

(26:32):
And this Ukrainian girl example, her murder is another example
of it. You know, earlier before we took the break,
I brought up the fact that there was no good
Samaritans that protected that Ukrainian girl. And to be fair,

(26:56):
like this attack happened so fast, there may not have
been a reaction in time to prevent her death. But
people saw him walking around with blood pouring down, saying
I got that white girl, and no one steps up
to do anything, And we got to ask ourselves why. Well,

(27:16):
one reason, Mike, was because in New York there was
that fella in his last name was Penny, who restrained
a person and assailant and had him in a choke holde.
He was someone who had served in the Marine Corps
and there was so many articles because they had a

(27:36):
picture of a white guy with a choke hold on
an African American mail, and then there was so many things,
did he use excessive force, should he have done that,
should he have intervened? All those things? And he was
called all kinds of things like he's a racist, a

(27:57):
white supremacist. The media ran with it. Now we flipped
to the Ukraine murder of that Ukraine girl, and days
go by and there is no story about it. Nobody's writing.
Wall Street Journal's not writing about it, The New York

(28:19):
Times not writing about it, MSNBCCNN, none of them are
talking about it. And so people like Charlie Kirk pointed
out that wait a minute. If a white guy had
brutally murdered a beautiful, young black woman and then walked

(28:46):
away saying I got that black girl, or I got
that if that's what he said, I got the black girl,
it would have been thousands of articles by mean stream media.
But because it didn't fit a narrative, right, because it
was a black guy killing a white girl didn't fit

(29:08):
their narrative, they wouldn't even run the story. And then
they finally run the story and what they say. What
they say is that the Ukrainian death and that murder
is being used as a new MAGA talking point that

(29:30):
magas trying to make a race issue out of it,
and you had everybody like Van Jones get on CNN.
Nobody knows what this guy, why he did it. They're
ignoring the fact that there's a tape that he says
I got the white girl, but they don't tell you that.
No one knows. And this guy was hurting, That's what

(29:52):
they said on MSNBC and CNN. He has mental health
issues and he was hurting and hurt people, hurt people.
It's like, what, He's a criminal, arrested fourteen times for assaults,

(30:12):
for very bad stuff, and you're gonna sit there and
talk about like he's a victim. It's incredible, absolutely incredible.
And we get to the Charlie Kirk murder and I

(30:33):
saw a clip on MSNBC where the person speculated that
maybe Charlie Kirk was shot by one of his supporters
who was celebrating with a gun and just fired the

(30:54):
gun and accidentally shot and killed Charlie Kirk. What what
the f are you talking about? Man? Because they wanted
to use this murder to fit their agenda right that

(31:14):
guns are out of control and we've got to ban
all guns in the world. And instead of just acknowledging
what a tragedy this is, but also the nature you
have a man engaging in heated civil debate because we

(31:39):
don't talk to each other anymore. We just sit as
you know, internet warriors on x fake names, and we
say things to each other. Oh, Trump is a rapeist,

(32:01):
Trump is a xenophobe, Trump is hitler. Trump needs to go,
someone needs to eliminate Trump. Then there's an assassination attempt.
Oh see, we need gun control. They called Charlie Kirk

(32:21):
a white supremacist and that he's a threat to democracy
and that he's all these bad things, that he's evil,
and then he's murdered for simply engaging in what made
America great, civil heated debate, political discourse, not online, but

(32:45):
face to face, human to human because we've got to
talk to each other. And he's shot and killed in
cold blood, no doubt, a specific premeditated plan was executed.
Addition to Charlie and what they do Elizabeth Warrens of

(33:05):
the world, the Seth Moltens of the world, they want
to get on their soapbox and turn it into their
talking points and then blame actually the person who is murdered.
It's disgusting, you know, it makes you not want to
get in politics. I told you I'm thinking of running

(33:26):
for US Senate against Markie. And my daughter texted me
from London. She just got her master's Jordan, and the
text was pleased, Dad, don't run. Imagine that. Imagine that
that's where we're at, where my twenty three year old daughter,

(33:47):
studying overseas is worried that her father might run again
for public office, and her father might say something that
someone disagrees with. You might say something that somebody thinks

(34:08):
is wrong, and maybe they'll label me something. Maybe they'll
call me a white supremacist. Maybe they'll call me the
same things that they called other people, and then that
will trigger some psychopath, some nutjob to take a shot
at me. That my daughter's got it, that's the first

(34:31):
thought that goes in her mind. You know, That's that's
why I say that this was an attack on our
constitutional republic, and not just on Charlie Kirk. You know,
we're talking about these these judges or these magistrates who

(34:53):
are just letting these violent criminals roam the streets, the
streets of ball in the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina,
wherever you are, I'd ask them, you know, part of
their job I think should be to talk to the
families of the victims, the people who are no longer here,

(35:17):
people who have been murdered like Charlie Kirk or that
young Ukrainian woman in North Carolina, talk to her family.
The magistrate who's let that piece of crap criminal roam
the streets to murder her, maybe they should sit down
and talk to the parents of that twenty three year old.

(35:37):
You know, we also got to start thinking about how
we hold these people responsible for their reckless endangerment of
public safety. Cops get sued when they do things wrong,
even though they have some forms of immunity. Should a
judge just be off the hook? You listen the Hard Truth,

(36:01):
We'll be right back. Welcome back to the show. You
listen to the Hard Truth. I'm John Daton. You can
reach the show. Reach me at John at Hard truthshow
dot com. You can follow me on x at John E.
Daton and the number one John E. Daton the number one.

(36:22):
And if you need or a loved one needs assistance
with mesothelioma or lung cancer or any type of asbestos
related disease. For twenty five years, I've been a lawyer
in Massachusetts representing mesothelium and lung cancer victims. In fact,

(36:42):
the Deeton Law Firm has sponsored this show. You can
reach me at Dton Law Firm dot com. Anyways, enough
of that, but I want to remind you that I
do have a day job, and that day job is

(37:03):
representing some of the greatest people I have ever met.
I represent plumbers and pipe fitters, and sheet rockers and roofers,
and engineers and electricians and auto mechanics, shipyard workers, you
name it, in the trades, iron workers, I've represented asbestos

(37:28):
installation workers. Obviously, unfortunately, asbestos was in thousands of products.
I've taken on Johnson and Johnson because of their baby
powder had asbestos contaminated talk in it for a century,
and they knew about it and they did nothing. I've

(37:49):
taken on the biggest corporations in the world, fighting for
everyday based staters. And so the reason I ran for
office against Senata Warren is I've been fighting for regular
people my entire career, and so I figured I'd try
to take the fight into the political world and represent

(38:10):
them in Washington, because I don't think regular people are
actually being represented. I think corporate interests are being represented.
I believe billionaires and donors who line the pockets of
our elected officials are there. I mean, why do you

(38:30):
think they fight to stay in Washington so long? I mean,
look at Ed Markey. Ed Marky's eighty years old. He's
been in Washington, D c. Since nineteen seventy six. Ladies
and gentlemen, I'm not a young man anymore. But when

(38:56):
Ed Marky first went to Washington, I was eight. I
was an eight year old boy. That's how long he's
been in office. He ran and got elected before Jimmy
Carter was President of the United States. I mean, gas

(39:17):
was fifty nine cents a gallon. It's incredible, and after
fifty years, at eighty years old, he wants to run again. Why.
Because they get addicted to the power, they get addicted
to the money, they get addicted to the lifestyle. Imagine
living off the taxpayer for half a century. Ed Markey

(39:42):
is not only twice the age of the average voter
in Massachusetts, He's been in office ten years longer than
the average base Stater has been alive. The average voter
in Massachusetts is forty years old for zero at Marky's eighty,

(40:07):
and he's been in Washington fifty years, so that's a
decade longer than many of you listening have been alive.
It's insane, But why do they do it? Because it
is a great gig man. They don't want to give
it up. They get addicted being called senator. They get addicted.
They're being catered around, so further around, they get addicted

(40:29):
to the benefits right. They exempt themselves from Obamacare, They
exempt themselves from just about everything. They can insider trade
so they can vote on bills, get that inside knowledge
and then make millions. You and I go to jail
if we do that crap, not them. Nancy Pelosi is

(40:52):
the best stock picker in America. She's worth three hundred
million dollars ed. Marky's worth millions for being an elected official.
Come on, man, right ed Markey wrote bad checks in
the nineties forty seven thousand dollars. That's over six figures

(41:15):
in today's money. He didn't get charged one overdraft fee.
His credit didn't get suffered like yours and mine would.
He didn't get prosecuted like you and I would we
get prosecuted. We wrote around writing tens of thousands of
dollars in bad checks, not ed Markey. Nope, he belonged

(41:36):
to a special show bank for congressmen, and that bank
would just pay the money off right. He overdraft forty
seven thousand. They just pay it, basically giving him interest
free loans every month. And imagine that these are the

(41:57):
people voting He's he votes to spend our money the
way he spent his own personal money, reckless, with reckless,
abandonment of all common sense. And now we're thirty seven
trillion dollars in debt. And now people are are so

(42:17):
desperate in this country that they're turning to socialism and saying,
you know what, we're going to elect this mondamie guy
in New York because he tells us he's going to
get the groceries down, and he's going to get rent control,
and he's going to give us free transportation, and he's
going to take money from the from the haves and
give some of it to the have nots. That's what

(42:39):
he stands for, and that sounds good to them because
they can't pay their bills. Okay, something else that happened
this week. Mayor Wu won the preliminary election, the top two,
her and Josh Craft go on to the general election,

(43:03):
and it was a landslide. And I got to tell
you it makes you think of what are the people
in Boston thinking? Because Mayor Woo is a disaster man.
I mean, you know, earlier in the show, we were
talking about crime and Mayor Wo goes to Congress. She

(43:25):
goes on National TV says Boston is the safest place,
the safest city in America, safest city in the world.
You can drive down mass cast and watch Heroin get
shot up on the public street. Okay. You can step

(43:46):
on needles in Boston common, she taught. She says that
it's safe. Yet in her own administration, you've got multiple indictments.
All right, you've got the members on the take. We've
got to get back to law in order. We've got

(44:09):
to get back to holding people responsible. You rape a child,
you're not seeing daylight again. You're certainly not going to
go get five hundred dollars cash, bond or bail.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Okay, it's incredible, But apparently the voters in Boston want
Mayor Woo to win.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I don't get it. You know, they won't even you know,
they're making national news because they're fighting Trump and they're
fighting Tom Homan and the Ice And the reason that
they're fighting them is because they don't want Ice here.
But you know, they're part of the problem. I saw

(45:03):
Governor Heay talk about how an ICE car was parked
outside of Spanish church and that's terrorizing. Well, if you
cooperate it and said, I'm going to help you find
the really bad guys, I'm not going to agree with you,
know everything you do, but let's prioritize this. Let's get

(45:28):
the bad guys out right. Let's get the rapists, the
drug dealers, the gang members. Can't we just get them,
like our governor and the mayor of Boston should be
cooperating with Ice about those individuals. You can draw a
line and take issue with them. You know, if they
snatch a tough, tough graduate student for writing and an

(45:53):
editorial that was against Israel and now they're going to
deport her, I'm against that she exercised First Amendment. I'll
help you. I'll help you criticize the Trump administration about that.
But let's first get rid of the gang members, right,
because in these Heey hotels. We've got people that were
dealing Sentinel, they had money, they had weapons. You've had

(46:18):
over a thousand serious incidents in the so called shelters
from illegals. Can we clean that stuff up? First? Let's
fight Trump on that stuff. We should possibly fight Trump,
But you can't fight Trump if the goal is to
get rid of a rapist who raped children, that can't

(46:42):
be the battle for you. You can't say I'm not
gonna help the Trump administration get rid of MS thirteen
gang members. I mean, if that's the position you're gonna take,
then you are embracing absolute lawlessness. And it's discouraging to
see Mayor Wu win to that level, you know what

(47:06):
I mean. Maybe I'm insane by thinking that, you know,
voters would pick me over Ed Markey. Maybe because if
I run, I'll have an R Republican in front of
my name, and they just going Nope, that's never going
to happen, John, because they're going to continue to elect

(47:27):
these people like Mayor Wu and Governor Healey and my god,
Ed Markey. Just remember, insanity is doing the same thing
over and expecting a different result. That same definition applies
to voter insanity, which is voting the same person in

(47:48):
year after year after year, like fifty years in expecting
things to change. Maybe it's time to try something different.
Maybe it's time to do something different. See you next week.
