Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, coming up next at nine point thirty.
You do not want to miss it. John Deaton, Republican
senatorial candidate, Anti Trump, Republican senatorial candidate, will be on
and I will be asking him the tough questions. Trust me,
(00:20):
you don't want to miss it. But first I want
to continue to take your calls. Six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight. Barbara in Maryland. Thanks
for holding, Barbara.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And welcome good born and thanks to taking my call.
You are so positive. You've got me all pumped up.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm an election judge.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm coming off of working eight days uh with with
early voting, and the lines have been phenomenal. We're witnessing history.
I think you're completely right. I want people to continue
to come out and vote. I mean, really swamp them
if going to be too big to rick.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Barbara, you sound great.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I can sense even the optimism and the positivity in
your voice. Barbara. I know Maryland it's you know, it's
like Massachusetts. It's deep blue territory. It's unfriendly territory to
people like you and me. You think, how do you
see Trump doing in Maryland? Does he have a chance.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I think he has the chance of turning this state purple,
whether or not he will win the electoral votes here,
the popular vote for him here. And I'm praying that
you know, what is it rising tides lifts with all votes,
that we pick up some Republicans in the House to
(01:46):
help him. But I think he's going to be surprising
what happens here. I mean, I'm an election judge. So
we were on like two hours after closing, just doing
people in the line, people who were in line at
eight o'clock. Incredible, incredible, And I think, what's happening in
(02:07):
the streets the move And you had a caller I
was listening. He said, you know, the first time voter.
We do that here too, first time voters. And so
many of these first time voters are middle age and
some senior citizens that are voting for.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The first time.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it in the four
years that I've done elections.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
For elections, Barbara, you nailed it. You abstoually nailed it.
And this is why I'm really optimistic about tomorrow because
I want Trump obviously look the key and the only
thing that matters is the electoral college. Okay, nothing else matters.
So you get to seventy your president, it doesn't matter
what the popular vote is. But what I'm starting to
(02:50):
sense now is that Trump is going to overperform even
in deep blue states like Maryland, like Massachusetts, like Oregon,
like Washington, like California. Not saying he's gonna win, obviously,
but he's going to do better than expected. And what
that's going to translate to is a higher popular vote total.
(03:12):
And I think what we're going to look at is
that Trump wins the electoral college comfortably, but also beats
Kamala in the popular vote. And why that's important. If
Trump beats her in the popular vote and in the
electoral college, the Libs have nothing to complain about nothing.
(03:32):
Remember when he beat Hillary's at all, but he lost
the popular vote, always with an excuse. This time, potentially
no excuses. She lost in the popular she lost in
the electoral college. She lost, she lost, she lost. Barbara Agree, disagree.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Absolutely agree.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's what's going to happen. And you know what the
result of it is going to be peace is going
to be peace in the streets.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
There's going to be.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Joy and just overwhelming, uh celebration for Donald Trump winning
to save this country. So many people now just you know,
we want to make America great. That's just it. And
everything else is going to just fall by the wayside,
and then there's not going to be troubled well, and
none of that's going to happen when he wins.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And he is going to win.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I feel it.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Barbara Trump wins, America will be reborn again. Barbara, God
bless you. And the next time you and I talk,
we will know who the next president of the United
States will be. And just like you, I'm praying, I'm
hoping it's going to be Donald J. Trump. Six one
(04:50):
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
my friends coming up next. Trust me, I don't care
where you are, you're gonna I want to hear this
interview John Daton, Republican senatorial candidate. He is challenging Elizabeth Warren,
but if he wins, he says he will oppose Donald
(05:13):
Trump in the Senate like Mitt Romney, just as much
as he would oppose a president. Kamala Harris six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay.
Joining us now is a man who is no stranger
to the Kooner Report. He is the Republican senatorial candidate
(05:34):
challenging Elizabeth Warren, John Daton. You can check out all
of his biography his policy positions on John Daton for
Senate dot Com. John Daton for Senate dot Com. John,
thank you so much for coming on the Kooner Report.
How are you.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'm doing great, Jeff, and thank you for having me.
I really appreciate having time with you this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's my pleasure.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
John.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Thank you so much for coming on. I also appreciated
very much. John. Right out of the gate, I want
to ask you to the vast audience of Kooner Country,
you versus Elizabeth Warren, why should they vote for you
and not her?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, let's be honest, just about anybody would be an
improvement of Elizabeth Warren. I think these are the most
failed policies and they're grossly impacting the state. You know,
she supports open borders. She literally objected to Biden place
in a twenty five hundred cap per day on illegal crossings.
(06:38):
Who does that? Well, people who want illegals to come
in and then want to give them amnesty and then
want to give them a path to citizenship so that
then they can stack the voter deck. But other than that,
if they look at who I am, Jeff, I under
I'm an everyday person, small business owners, serve seven years
in the Marine Corps. I've been a lawyer in Massachusetts
(06:59):
for twenty time two years, fighting major corporations on behalf
of working families. I come from extreme poverty, and you know,
I know what the daily struggle is of everyday Americans
and people in the Bay States.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
John, on certain key policy issues, take the border and immigration,
inflation and the economy, crime, where are you fundamentally different
than Elizabeth warren Well.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I support expanding legal immigration, but having made zero tolerance
for illegal immigrations, you know, and we should want to
recruit some of the best minds in the world to
come to America and to add to us. And so
you know, when you hear these stories where we learn
that four hundred and thirty five thousand convictions with two
(07:51):
hundred and twenty five pending convictions, that's six hundred thousand
felony convictions in the last four years. Talking you know,
a fifteen thousand rate of thirteen thousand murderers. I don't
think that's the people we want to contribute to society.
And so I believe in zero tolerance for illegal immigration
(08:15):
and she believes in the opposite.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, John, now you know what the obvious follow up
question is going to be. I'm a Trump supporter. Much
of Kooner Country our MAGA or they're going to vote
for Trump. I'm a staunch Trump supporter. You have said
publicly and repeated lead. To your credit, you've been very
open about it. You didn't vote for Trump in twenty sixteen,
you didn't vote for Trump in twenty twenty, you will
(08:39):
not be voting for Trump in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Why, well, listen, just so your viewers know. I was
in Holyoke yesterday at Trump mass GOP luncheon, and I
was the keynote speaker. And what people need to know here,
your listeners, Jeff, is that if I got every Republican
in Massachusetts, if they love me everything about me, I
(09:07):
get eight percent. And so what I'm trying to do
is get a seat at the table. Jeff. If you
don't have a seat at the table, then you can't
effectuate change. I mean, this one party rule is destroying Massachusetts.
You're talking about eighty eight percent of the state legislature,
the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor. It
just goes on and on, and they wake up and
(09:29):
they say, you know what we're going.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
To do today.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We're going to eliminate mother and father off per certificates.
And we can't even have check. We can't hold it
up in the state legislature. They just do it, or
they wake up the next week and say, we're going
to pass a gun laws so vague that it's impossible
to comply with it. And if you can't comply with it,
then it's a de facto ban and they could just
(09:51):
wipe away, you know, or try to Second Amendment rights
of law abiding citizens and.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
We can't do anything about it. So sixty of the
voters in Massachusetts are unenrolled independent voters, and Trump lost
by thirty three points last time.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He's not very popular here and I'm just doing my
best to get a seat at the table. Hopefully, if
you saw the debates and your viewers saw the debates,
I validated everyone listening on why they're voting for Donald Trump.
And I stood on that debate stage and I said,
maybe because I don't support President Trump, that I'm the
right messenger to these elites in Washington, DC. And I
(10:32):
went through a litany of lists, no foreign wars, and
Americans feel betrayed that we're spending billions, billions of taxpayer
dollars on illegals. And it seems to be in today's America,
under this far left policy, it's better to be an
illegal migrant who just got here than a homeowner in Nashville,
North Carolina. And so I went on that stage to
(10:55):
validate why people are voting for Donald Trump, because we
know the other side causes to cause deplorables and they
put us in a deplorable basket. And so if you
don't appeal to the independent voter in Massachusetts, you're not
going to get a seat at the table. And that's
what I'm trying to John.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But let me ask you the again, the obvious follow up.
I listened to you on illegal immigration, you sound like
a Trump supporter on no foreign wars, a Trump supporter
on gun laws, a Trump supporter on transgenderism, a Trump supporter.
So I'm just curious, why won't you vote for Trump?
(11:33):
Why didn't you vote for Trump? I mean, you weren't
running in Massachusetts in twenty sixteen or twenty twenty, but
you refuse to support them both times. I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I have a great question, and I appreciate it's a
great question, Jeff. As always, Look, I took the position
that if I believe that we're going off a cliff
thirty six trillion dollars in debt, all they do is
print more money. Jeff, eighty percent of all US dollars
have been printed in the last four years. And we
have foreign wars, and we have all these things. And
if half of the country thinks that you should be
(12:07):
in jail or this or that, even if they're wrong,
even if they're wrong, it makes it hard to govern.
And it's only going to be investigations and it's only
going to be more division. And so, you know, it's
more about we need people to unite the country, and
if half of the country, you know, feels a certain
(12:27):
way about President Trump, then it makes it difficult to lead.
But listen, you're what you just said isn't wrong. I mean,
you know, I went to the route you know, to
the event yesterday because I want to disabuse people. I'm
not running against President Trump. You know, I was at
the Bitcoin conference with President Trump in Nashville. I was
on stage with Bernie Marino in Ohio, and Sam Brown
(12:50):
and Nevada spoke on the same stage, you know. But
it all comes down to if the independent voters in
Massachusetts don't if they don't align with President Trump for
whatever reason, even if they're wrong, Jeff, You're never going
to get a seat at the table. And so you know,
I know that's not the best answer for some of
your viewers. But like you said, I've always been up front.
(13:12):
I'm desperately trying to do something about this one party rule.
I achieved the American dream in Massachusetts when I became
a lawyer and doing the school of law. I love
Massachusetts and I'm in a serious fear that we're the
next California.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
John other two more questions. Say you win, Okay, I
know the polls say you're behind, but hey, anything can happen.
Say you win, and Trump wins as well. In other words,
he pulls it off. He wins these key battleground states,
and it's the greatest political comeback in American history. Will
(13:51):
you be a consistent anti Trump voter in the Senate?
In other words, will you become the new Mitt Romney
or the new John McCain, whereby you'll be voting as
often against Trump as you would say against a president
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No, that's the point I was trying to make, is
that you know I'm running against Elizabeth Warren, not Donald Trump. Look,
if I was running I'm not delusional, Jeff. If I
was running against Donald Trump, I'd lose just like everybody else, DeSantis,
nikkiy Haley and the rest. But I'm running against her,
and I have one test. Is a good for Massachusetts
in America. If it is, I'm all in. And that's
the reason voters should vote for me. Because Sarah Warren
(14:32):
will be iced out. We all know that even if
it is a great plan for Massachusetts in America, she
will not support it just because it has Trump's name
on it. That's a guarantee. I am not like that.
If it's good for this country that I love, in
Massachusetts that I love, I will become the biggest fighter
(14:53):
for that, and the biggest ally. I would also give
a voice to the Senate because she will be frozen
out Trump wins. She's just a partisan hack from the
other side. She'll have no voice in the Senate, and
in a close Senate my vote would matter, and so
of course I would work. Listen, if President Trump wins,
(15:14):
you're not an American if you don't want him to
be successful. I mean, I honestly feel that way to
my core. If President Trump wins, of course I want
him to be successful, and so because if he's successful,
then the country will be successful. And so I think
that's the same the very reason people should vote for
me too.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
John one minute left, what's your path to victory? The
polls say you're behind, but look, it's a crazy election.
Anything can happen. How do you see yourself pulling this
race out quickly?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, it all comes down to whether I reached enough voters.
When I reach the voters, I win. When they learn
that I'm a veteran from the Marine Corps and that
I'm pro choice, that's immediately a single digit race, like
seven points in Massachusetts. And then when they learn more
about me, they come my way. I have a lot
of people are tired of this broken system, you know,
(16:09):
Sarah Warren certain people. Yeah, Sarah Warren is a reason
why President Trump and her policies may be the next
president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
John, Sorry, they're giving me the hook, but I want
to make sure you got everything out. John. Best of
luck to you tomorrow. If you want to see more
about John, his biography, his policies, what he stands for,
go to johndeatonf Senate dot Com. Okay, it is my
distinct honor and privilege to have Oh have you seen
(16:42):
her debate performance a couple nights ago? Lily Tang Williams.
She is the MAGA Republican candidate for the second congressional
district in New Hampshire. She is running against Maggie Goodlander, who,
by the way, is the wife of National Security Advisor
(17:02):
Jake Sullivan, and she destroyed her. Lily Tang Williams destroyed
good Lander in that debate. In fact, the clips are
going viral. They're all over the internet. Lily, welcome back
to the Kuner Report. You are finishing very strong down
the stretch. How are you.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm doing great and we feel energized and give last push.
I have a town call tonight on the campus of
New England College is open to the public, and they're
all the press, and she refused to debate me on
three college campuses, so they're going to hold the town
hall just for me, and I love to engage our
(17:46):
students and the jolly shop contrast between me and her
and the college student traditionally votes for Democrats, but this
time they have a serious choice to say vote for
Lily is actually vote for their American dream.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm urging everybody in the second Congressional District. I'm telling
you right now, if I lived in New Hampshire in
the second Congressional District, I would crawl over broken glass
to vote for Lily Tang Williams. She is an outstanding candidate.
You want to talk about principled maga conservative Trump supporter, Lily,
(18:23):
tell me if I'm wrong the sense I get from
you your entire campaign. You live through Mao's revolution in China.
You have seen the horrors of communism up front, the
passion in your voice, the urgency of your campaign. Do
you fear if Trump loses or in this case, if
(18:44):
Maggie Goodlander wins and helps Kamala Harris win, that we
will see communism come to America like it came to
your former homeland of China.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Well, that's why I've been saying that a four years now.
I don't want this country becoming the country left I saw.
Today's Democrat party is infiltrated by Marxist communists and socialists,
and they do not trader the American ideals I hold
here in heart. They are a party of big government,
out of country spending, open border and the criminals, and
(19:21):
also censorship.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And end of this foreign wars.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I do worry that team Wars CaMLA hires. There are
synthesizers with communist China. Cheam Wards went to China thirty
times and took his students with him, paid by Chinese government.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
What kind of country was on living?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
If they all went the racist it becomes one party,
you know, big tendership in our country. They have already
legacy media on their side and big tech on their sides.
So I want the people turn off the vote. You
have not reaches yet, Go riches tomorrow with your ID
and a vote. It is a pretty is citizens right
(20:01):
I do not have in China. I never was in
China for twenty four years of my life there, So
we need to turn out tomorrow and way died to
drag your neighbors, your friends, your family members, and the
spread the words about a mightybate. I want to be
the voice of reasons and also compassing for our people
(20:22):
in our district in DC.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Go to Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily Tang Tang,
Lily by the way one, l so l I l
Y Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily, we still have
a few more minutes. You really took it to Maggie
Goodlander when you said, you know, she tried to accuse
you of favoring the rich, and you turned around and said, hey,
(20:48):
I'm not the one with the two million dollar mansion
in Portsmouth. I'm not the one with multiple homes and
apartments all over New Hampshire. Lily, do you think is
that the moment that your campaign is really now turned around?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You know, it's just that she is a repeating then
to the talking point, and she does not offer actual
solutions proposals on the issues that our voters are confermists.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
It just came out of my chest naturally.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And passionately to call out her, you know lessest liberal
hypocrisy she's uproptly blame corporation for the high inflation caused
by government present money, and she pretends to be poor
renter complaining about rent to be so high in Nashua,
and she's deceiving the voters and she casts her opponent
(21:40):
in the primary by playing victims. I just cannot take that.
So I just, you know, I'm just be natural that
I become that the passionate voice to defend the working
class families who was struggling, and she does not understand
their sufferings. I saw by communism, poverty, I struggle economically mentally,
(22:01):
and I struggled back when I first came over with
one hundred dollars as a foreign student and the two
studies did.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
My master degree, and I've made.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Myself out of nothing, the greatest country on honors. She
just cannot pretend, you know, and to deceive people and
to repeat the same talking point. She's got a too
million dollars from George Sorow's content hash running TV ads
against me and call me extreme. So that's something wrong
with this country. If I love freedom in bird needs
(22:32):
real by values come to New Hampshire and an extreme
and if you do not understand constitution, repeating your party
you know, party talking points, want to be fund the police.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
You're not that strength. She is the extreme, not me,
run this country.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Brilliant, uh, Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily Tang Williams
dot com, if you're in the second Congressional district in
New Hampshire, please vote for her. Lily, best of luck
to you tomorrow. And I just wish you could come
down to Massachusetts because I'm telling you, if you were
(23:10):
running against Elizabeth Warren, you would destroy her. Come down
to mass Lily, we need you.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight

to ask you to the vast audience of Kooner Country,
you versus Elizabeth Warren, why should they vote for you
and not her?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, let's be honest, just about anybody would be an
improvement of Elizabeth Warren. I think these are the most
failed policies and they're grossly impacting the state. You know,
she supports open borders. She literally objected to Biden place
in a twenty five hundred cap per day on illegal crossings.
(06:38):
Who does that? Well, people who want illegals to come
in and then want to give them amnesty and then
want to give them a path to citizenship so that
then they can stack the voter deck. But other than that,
if they look at who I am, Jeff, I under
I'm an everyday person, small business owners, serve seven years
in the Marine Corps. I've been a lawyer in Massachusetts
(06:59):
for twenty time two years, fighting major corporations on behalf
of working families. I come from extreme poverty, and you know,
I know what the daily struggle is of everyday Americans
and people in the Bay States.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
John, on certain key policy issues, take the border and immigration,
inflation and the economy, crime, where are you fundamentally different
than Elizabeth warren Well.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I support expanding legal immigration, but having made zero tolerance
for illegal immigrations, you know, and we should want to
recruit some of the best minds in the world to
come to America and to add to us. And so
you know, when you hear these stories where we learn
that four hundred and thirty five thousand convictions with two
(07:51):
hundred and twenty five pending convictions, that's six hundred thousand
felony convictions in the last four years. Talking you know,
a fifteen thousand rate of thirteen thousand murderers. I don't
think that's the people we want to contribute to society.
And so I believe in zero tolerance for illegal immigration
(08:15):
and she believes in the opposite.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, John, now you know what the obvious follow up
question is going to be. I'm a Trump supporter. Much
of Kooner Country our MAGA or they're going to vote
for Trump. I'm a staunch Trump supporter. You have said
publicly and repeated lead. To your credit, you've been very
open about it. You didn't vote for Trump in twenty sixteen,
you didn't vote for Trump in twenty twenty, you will
(08:39):
not be voting for Trump in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Why, well, listen, just so your viewers know. I was
in Holyoke yesterday at Trump mass GOP luncheon, and I
was the keynote speaker. And what people need to know here,
your listeners, Jeff, is that if I got every Republican
in Massachusetts, if they love me everything about me, I
(09:07):
get eight percent. And so what I'm trying to do
is get a seat at the table. Jeff. If you
don't have a seat at the table, then you can't
effectuate change. I mean, this one party rule is destroying Massachusetts.
You're talking about eighty eight percent of the state legislature,
the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor. It
just goes on and on, and they wake up and
(09:29):
they say, you know what we're going.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
To do today.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
We're going to eliminate mother and father off per certificates.
And we can't even have check. We can't hold it
up in the state legislature. They just do it, or
they wake up the next week and say, we're going
to pass a gun laws so vague that it's impossible
to comply with it. And if you can't comply with it,
then it's a de facto ban and they could just
(09:51):
wipe away, you know, or try to Second Amendment rights
of law abiding citizens and.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
We can't do anything about it. So sixty of the
voters in Massachusetts are unenrolled independent voters, and Trump lost
by thirty three points last time.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He's not very popular here and I'm just doing my
best to get a seat at the table. Hopefully, if
you saw the debates and your viewers saw the debates,
I validated everyone listening on why they're voting for Donald Trump.
And I stood on that debate stage and I said,
maybe because I don't support President Trump, that I'm the
right messenger to these elites in Washington, DC. And I
(10:32):
went through a litany of lists, no foreign wars, and
Americans feel betrayed that we're spending billions, billions of taxpayer
dollars on illegals. And it seems to be in today's America,
under this far left policy, it's better to be an
illegal migrant who just got here than a homeowner in Nashville,
North Carolina. And so I went on that stage to
(10:55):
validate why people are voting for Donald Trump, because we
know the other side causes to cause deplorables and they
put us in a deplorable basket. And so if you
don't appeal to the independent voter in Massachusetts, you're not
going to get a seat at the table. And that's
what I'm trying to John.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But let me ask you the again, the obvious follow up.
I listened to you on illegal immigration, you sound like
a Trump supporter on no foreign wars, a Trump supporter
on gun laws, a Trump supporter on transgenderism, a Trump supporter.
So I'm just curious, why won't you vote for Trump?
(11:33):
Why didn't you vote for Trump? I mean, you weren't
running in Massachusetts in twenty sixteen or twenty twenty, but
you refuse to support them both times. I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I have a great question, and I appreciate it's a
great question, Jeff. As always, Look, I took the position
that if I believe that we're going off a cliff
thirty six trillion dollars in debt, all they do is
print more money. Jeff, eighty percent of all US dollars
have been printed in the last four years. And we
have foreign wars, and we have all these things. And
if half of the country thinks that you should be
(12:07):
in jail or this or that, even if they're wrong,
even if they're wrong, it makes it hard to govern.
And it's only going to be investigations and it's only
going to be more division. And so, you know, it's
more about we need people to unite the country, and
if half of the country, you know, feels a certain
(12:27):
way about President Trump, then it makes it difficult to lead.
But listen, you're what you just said isn't wrong. I mean,
you know, I went to the route you know, to
the event yesterday because I want to disabuse people. I'm
not running against President Trump. You know, I was at
the Bitcoin conference with President Trump in Nashville. I was
on stage with Bernie Marino in Ohio, and Sam Brown
(12:50):
and Nevada spoke on the same stage, you know. But
it all comes down to if the independent voters in
Massachusetts don't if they don't align with President Trump for
whatever reason, even if they're wrong, Jeff, You're never going
to get a seat at the table. And so you know,
I know that's not the best answer for some of
your viewers. But like you said, I've always been up front.
(13:12):
I'm desperately trying to do something about this one party rule.
I achieved the American dream in Massachusetts when I became
a lawyer and doing the school of law. I love
Massachusetts and I'm in a serious fear that we're the
next California.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
John other two more questions. Say you win, Okay, I
know the polls say you're behind, but hey, anything can happen.
Say you win, and Trump wins as well. In other words,
he pulls it off. He wins these key battleground states,
and it's the greatest political comeback in American history. Will
(13:51):
you be a consistent anti Trump voter in the Senate?
In other words, will you become the new Mitt Romney
or the new John McCain, whereby you'll be voting as
often against Trump as you would say against a president
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No, that's the point I was trying to make, is
that you know I'm running against Elizabeth Warren, not Donald Trump. Look,
if I was running I'm not delusional, Jeff. If I
was running against Donald Trump, I'd lose just like everybody else, DeSantis,
nikkiy Haley and the rest. But I'm running against her,
and I have one test. Is a good for Massachusetts
in America. If it is, I'm all in. And that's
the reason voters should vote for me. Because Sarah Warren
(14:32):
will be iced out. We all know that even if
it is a great plan for Massachusetts in America, she
will not support it just because it has Trump's name
on it. That's a guarantee. I am not like that.
If it's good for this country that I love, in
Massachusetts that I love, I will become the biggest fighter
(14:53):
for that, and the biggest ally. I would also give
a voice to the Senate because she will be frozen
out Trump wins. She's just a partisan hack from the
other side. She'll have no voice in the Senate, and
in a close Senate my vote would matter, and so
of course I would work. Listen, if President Trump wins,
(15:14):
you're not an American if you don't want him to
be successful. I mean, I honestly feel that way to
my core. If President Trump wins, of course I want
him to be successful, and so because if he's successful,
then the country will be successful. And so I think
that's the same the very reason people should vote for
me too.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
John one minute left, what's your path to victory? The
polls say you're behind, but look, it's a crazy election.
Anything can happen. How do you see yourself pulling this
race out quickly?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, it all comes down to whether I reached enough voters.
When I reach the voters, I win. When they learn
that I'm a veteran from the Marine Corps and that
I'm pro choice, that's immediately a single digit race, like
seven points in Massachusetts. And then when they learn more
about me, they come my way. I have a lot
of people are tired of this broken system, you know,
(16:09):
Sarah Warren certain people. Yeah, Sarah Warren is a reason
why President Trump and her policies may be the next
president of the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
John, Sorry, they're giving me the hook, but I want
to make sure you got everything out. John. Best of
luck to you tomorrow. If you want to see more
about John, his biography, his policies, what he stands for,
go to johndeatonf Senate dot Com. Okay, it is my
distinct honor and privilege to have Oh have you seen
(16:42):
her debate performance a couple nights ago? Lily Tang Williams.
She is the MAGA Republican candidate for the second congressional
district in New Hampshire. She is running against Maggie Goodlander, who,
by the way, is the wife of National Security Advisor
(17:02):
Jake Sullivan, and she destroyed her. Lily Tang Williams destroyed
good Lander in that debate. In fact, the clips are
going viral. They're all over the internet. Lily, welcome back
to the Kuner Report. You are finishing very strong down
the stretch. How are you.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm doing great and we feel energized and give last push.
I have a town call tonight on the campus of
New England College is open to the public, and they're
all the press, and she refused to debate me on
three college campuses, so they're going to hold the town
hall just for me, and I love to engage our
(17:46):
students and the jolly shop contrast between me and her
and the college student traditionally votes for Democrats, but this
time they have a serious choice to say vote for
Lily is actually vote for their American dream.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm urging everybody in the second Congressional District. I'm telling
you right now, if I lived in New Hampshire in
the second Congressional District, I would crawl over broken glass
to vote for Lily Tang Williams. She is an outstanding candidate.
You want to talk about principled maga conservative Trump supporter, Lily,
(18:23):
tell me if I'm wrong the sense I get from
you your entire campaign. You live through Mao's revolution in China.
You have seen the horrors of communism up front, the
passion in your voice, the urgency of your campaign. Do
you fear if Trump loses or in this case, if
(18:44):
Maggie Goodlander wins and helps Kamala Harris win, that we
will see communism come to America like it came to
your former homeland of China.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Well, that's why I've been saying that a four years now.
I don't want this country becoming the country left I saw.
Today's Democrat party is infiltrated by Marxist communists and socialists,
and they do not trader the American ideals I hold
here in heart. They are a party of big government,
out of country spending, open border and the criminals, and
(19:21):
also censorship.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And end of this foreign wars.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I do worry that team Wars CaMLA hires. There are
synthesizers with communist China. Cheam Wards went to China thirty
times and took his students with him, paid by Chinese government.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
What kind of country was on living?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
If they all went the racist it becomes one party,
you know, big tendership in our country. They have already
legacy media on their side and big tech on their sides.
So I want the people turn off the vote. You
have not reaches yet, Go riches tomorrow with your ID
and a vote. It is a pretty is citizens right
(20:01):
I do not have in China. I never was in
China for twenty four years of my life there, So
we need to turn out tomorrow and way died to
drag your neighbors, your friends, your family members, and the
spread the words about a mightybate. I want to be
the voice of reasons and also compassing for our people
(20:22):
in our district in DC.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Go to Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily Tang Tang,
Lily by the way one, l so l I l
Y Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily, we still have
a few more minutes. You really took it to Maggie
Goodlander when you said, you know, she tried to accuse
you of favoring the rich, and you turned around and said, hey,
(20:48):
I'm not the one with the two million dollar mansion
in Portsmouth. I'm not the one with multiple homes and
apartments all over New Hampshire. Lily, do you think is
that the moment that your campaign is really now turned around?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You know, it's just that she is a repeating then
to the talking point, and she does not offer actual
solutions proposals on the issues that our voters are confermists.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
It just came out of my chest naturally.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And passionately to call out her, you know lessest liberal
hypocrisy she's uproptly blame corporation for the high inflation caused
by government present money, and she pretends to be poor
renter complaining about rent to be so high in Nashua,
and she's deceiving the voters and she casts her opponent
(21:40):
in the primary by playing victims. I just cannot take that.
So I just, you know, I'm just be natural that
I become that the passionate voice to defend the working
class families who was struggling, and she does not understand
their sufferings. I saw by communism, poverty, I struggle economically mentally,
(22:01):
and I struggled back when I first came over with
one hundred dollars as a foreign student and the two
studies did.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
My master degree, and I've made.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Myself out of nothing, the greatest country on honors. She
just cannot pretend, you know, and to deceive people and
to repeat the same talking point. She's got a too
million dollars from George Sorow's content hash running TV ads
against me and call me extreme. So that's something wrong
with this country. If I love freedom in bird needs
(22:32):
real by values come to New Hampshire and an extreme
and if you do not understand constitution, repeating your party
you know, party talking points, want to be fund the police.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
You're not that strength. She is the extreme, not me,
run this country.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Brilliant, uh, Lily Tang Williams dot com. Lily Tang Williams
dot com, if you're in the second Congressional district in
New Hampshire, please vote for her. Lily, best of luck
to you tomorrow. And I just wish you could come
down to Massachusetts because I'm telling you, if you were
(23:10):
running against Elizabeth Warren, you would destroy her. Come down
to mass Lily, we need you.
