Episode Transcript

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):
Okay, joining me now as she always does at this time,
doctor Grace putting liberals in their place, Grace of Vuoto,
full disclosure. That's my wonderful wife, my better half. And
yes I definitely married up. Grace. I've got to ask you,
you've watched the images, You've been following this story now

(00:30):
for nearly a week. The left, the Democrats, Newsom, and
the media are saying Trump is to blame for the violence.
He's inflamed passions, intentions, he's inciting all of this and
this will end once the ice raids end, send ice out,

(00:52):
get rid of the National Guard, and the rioting and
the looting will stop. Is Trump to blame for what's
happening now in La and in California.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Trump is doing what the people elected him to do,
and we're seeing the Democrats, especially Newsome, engage in disgusting demagoguery.
That speech that he delivered, that speech is a huge problem.
He is now taking an incident and he's blowing it

(01:26):
way out of proportion because he wants more violence and
he thinks that by basically that speech, although he was
pretending that he's not calling for violence, if you read
between the lines, he definitely is. He thinks that this
is what's going to spearhead him to a national prominence
and maybe to be the next president of the United States.

(01:46):
He doesn't care about his own people. This is just
a power grab for himself. At the moment that he
accuses Trump of a power.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Grab, well, he made it very clear, and I'm going
to play some of the cuts from the speech later
in this hour because I think the audience needs to
hear it. And you're right, it was pure It was
disgusting demagogery. But what he's saying is the reason why
Trump deployed the National Guard in the Marines is because

(02:14):
now this is the final step before he implements a
full scale dictatorship. As he put it, this is now
we're on the verge of authoritarianism, and he's urging everybody,
don't be silent, don't bend the knee, don't be a
complicit in Trump's drive to now take over the country
and install some kind of military rule. So to me,

(02:38):
you may disagree with me, but to me, that's a
you want to talk about a dog whistle, that's a bullhorn.
Keep protesting, and don't stop protesting because Trump is on
the verge of establishing the fourth Reich am I wrong us.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
That speech is outrageous. What he should have simply done
about the alternative. All they could have said was thank you,
thank you, President Trump. I don't think we needed the
extra help. But you know, an honest person, an honest governor,
an honest mayor, they would have said, you know what,
let's say we had an honest disagreement. I think our

(03:16):
law enforcement could have handled it. But thank you, just
in case they were there, everything is fine, and you
would reassure the citizens, and you would make sure that
they just go home, go home. We have the situation
under control. Instead, they are ratscheving up the demagogue ry.
He's saying that democracy is next. Basically democracy is under assault,

(03:40):
as he said right before our lies. He's also saying
that Trump is taking a wrecking ball to everything that
the founding fathers created. He's saying that there's no coequal
branch of government, that there are no checks and balances
on him anymore. Are you kidding me? We've seen nothing
but checks and balances on this president. We've been complaining
that he has been hamstrong at every turn. He says

(04:03):
that the rule of law is under attack, and at
the end of his speech, he's basically telling everybody, stand up,
stand up. Democracy itself is on the line. So he
is fanning the flames of more protests and obviously more violence.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Grace is I'm just curious, do you think the country
sees through what he's doing or do you think progressives, liberals,
the radical left are going to rally around Newsome. It's
almost like he's trying to you know, they're playing, They're
trying to draw out a morality play, and it's like

(04:45):
Trump is Hitler and now Newsom is portraying himself as Churchill.
He's the man that's resisting this rise of this fascist
hunta this military strong man who's now going to crush
California with four thousand National Guard troops. Do you think
that the country is buying it? And do you think

(05:06):
even Democrats are buying it?

Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think the majority are buying it, but I think
there's enough people buying it that presents a threat to
all of us. And he's demagoguing the situation right from
the start, because he's saying friends are disappearing, people are
being just snatched up off the streets just because of
the color of their skin. So he is definitely spreading

(05:34):
massive fear, and fear is dangerous. I think it is
definitely going to impact a segment of the population that
is going to react to this and believe every word.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Grace. Is it time for Trump to start making arrests.
Should Karen Bass be arrested for coddling and collaborating with
these rioters and insurrectionists. You've got to clown Gavin Newsom
as well. He keeps going on, you want to scalp,
take mine, arrest me. He's daring Holman, daring Trump, saying

(06:10):
arrest me, arrest me, arrest me. Is it time somebody
arrested this loser's ass?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, I think that that Trump's got to get really
tough and it may come down to actually arresting him
and the mayor. But you know what, I think the
best strategy is right now where I would advise him
is this, just like we did with Abrega Garcia, give information,
detailed information on the people that are being targeted. Because
what's spreading the fear and the anxiety is the misinformation

(06:39):
about who is being deported. Make sure that everybody on
social media knows who exactly was being picked up, who
exactly is being removed from this country. Just like with Garcia,
they tried to present him as an innocent Mariland father,
and the more information came out, the more they looked

(06:59):
like a bunch of idiots that we're coddling a gang
banger and a domestic abuser. So I think the best
way to diffuse the situation is get the information out
about who Ice is picking up. And the more we
know about that, the more the people will rally to
Trump's side on this grace.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
The politics of this, You've got Democrats now, just look
at them. There. You mentioned Abrago, Garcia. So they're openly
siding with MS thirteen, gang bangers, rioters, murderers, rapists, child molesters.
You take sports, they side with men in women's sports,

(07:41):
in women's locker rooms, in women's showers. You can run
down issue after issue after issue. Are we now starting
to see the suicide the self destruction of the Democratic Party, Well, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
They've already completely self destructed. They are leaders or less.
There is no leader that they can even rally around.
They are deeply divided. So that's why you have people
like rom and Manuel suggesting he's going to enter the fray.
And that's why you have this disgusting piece of demagoguery
by Newsom because he thinks that this could give him
the ticket forward, just like Corey Booker did that stunt

(08:21):
where he spoke all night. So he thinks, you know what,
let me magnify how vile Trump's actions are so that
I can present myself as the hero of the story.
You know, the things he says in that speech is
exactly don't give your fealty to Donald Trump, don't give

(08:41):
him your silence, don't be complicit, don't give in to him.
So basically he's saying, you see, I'm not giving in
to him. I'm the new leader. So this is about
trying to restitch the Democratic Party together. I don't think
this is the way forward, but obviously they're desperate now
for a cause, and they are desperate for a leader.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Final question, we've got about a minute left politically. Is
this going to launch Gavin Newsom to the Democratic nomination
in twenty twenty eight, because that's clearly what his calculation
is he's now trying to present himself as the leader
of the resistance. Is this politically going to pay off
for Newsome, not in the general election, but in terms

(09:26):
of being now seen as the de facto head of
the Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, look that's his play, but it remains to be seen.
Just like the Democratic senator who thought he was going
to emerge Van Hollen at some kind of a hero,
it all backfired against him when the information came out
about Garcia. So I think we need to do the
same thing to him. We need to show the Democrats

(09:52):
every time you think you're going to go for leadership
based on coddling criminals, we're going to take down your
reput and it's going to be on our job to
expose this and to expose his failed record. And the
more we do that, the more we will prevent the
rise of somebody like him.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Doctor Grace putting liberals in their place. We've been talking
to Grace Vuoto. Grace as always excellent, excellent, excellent. We'll
be talking to you next week, same time, same place.
