Jeff, I feel at this point, It's not Mitch McConnell who is fighting to hold on to his seat. But think of this. If they replace Mitch McConnell, his staff could lose their positions as well because a replacement could bring in their own people. That's an interesting point. I mean, the staff clearly, I think the staff clearly has an incentive. to keep this cover up going and to pretend that Mitch McConnell is fine when he clearly isn't. Okay, let me read one more and then I want to go to the phone lines. This is from Mark on Messenger. Jeff, it's not the power so much as it is the money. And I'm not talking about their salary. I'm talking about the mostly illegal kickbacks and whatever they can actually steal from us. And that's why they're in office for 40 and 50 years. Did you know that Lindsey Graham was 71? Chuck Grassley is 92 years old. Hell, he's old enough to be Lindsey Graham's father and both were and are still in office with three question marks. In other words, can you believe it? If that doesn't put into perspective that they've been in office way, that they've been in office way too freaking long, then I don't know what does. Well, let's go to Mitch McConnell. I mean, it's a seventh term. Over 41 years. 41 years. This man has been in office. And he still clings? He won't let go. To me, that tells you everything you need to know. We need term limits. You know, we can disagree on, you know, the numbers. But to me, I don't know what, four terms in the House, two terms in the Senate. That's it. Eight years in the House of Representatives, 12 years in the Senate, that's it. So whatever you feel you need to accomplish, you've got 12 years. That's plenty of time. Or in the House, eight years. That's plenty of time if you want to sponsor a bill or two that you feel strongly about. But after that, bye-bye. You know, the president has to serve for two years. Sorry, two terms, my bad. The president serves for two terms.

So he's term limited. Many governors are term limited. Why shouldn't senators and members of Congress be term limited? Lynn in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Lynn and welcome. Hi, Jeff. Good morning. Hi, Lynn. I just have, I have a personal opinion of this. I don't think it's Mitch hanging on. I mean, we all saw him. freeze those times where he looks like he is completely out of it. I think I agree with one of your callers that he had a stroke. And I think it's his handlers who are hanging on for power, maybe to hamstring the save act. But I feel like a lot of these senators, a lot of these representatives become movements versus actual legislators. And they become... Kind of like a movement and people save them for power. And it's typically not the person. It's the people around them. So I don't, I have a feeling he doesn't even know what is going on at all. And when you're that sick that you're in the hospital, I don't, I don't think you care about that stuff. I think you kind of lose that. So that's my personal opinion. Oh, Lynn, I think you're on fire. Listen, I agree with you. My question to you, Lynn, is this, and we saw it with Joe Biden, okay, dementia Joe, who was gone. He should never have been installed in power in 2020. It was obvious he was suffering from serious mental cognitive decline. The second he was inaugurated, never mind the four painful years in office. But who enabled him? His wife, his children, his son, his family. Yes, his handlers and his inner circle. But ultimately it was his wife. You know, she was called Lady Jill, Lady Macbeth. Where is Elaine Chow? Where is his wife? You know, Lynn, God forbid, if something happened to you, wouldn't you want your spouse to look after you? I know, I would. Like, no, you're not going to use my husband as a tool. You're not just going to prop him up. You know, we're not going to issue lie after lie and cover up. And no, my husband's going to come home with me. He's going to resign. We have more than enough money. We've stolen so much. We really don't need more. And we're going to take care of him like they should have done with Joe Biden and let this man live the last years of his life in dignity. Lynn, am I wrong? No, you're not wrong. You're correct. And, I mean, look at her. She's very involved with the Chinese. I mean, they say she's not involved with the Communist Party, but I mean, come on. And she's very influential in some ways. And perhaps, I don't know, there's more to the story there. It's very strange. Oh, it's obvious. No, look, she met with leading top Chinese Communist Party officials.

6:41

She met with the vice president of China. She met with the foreign minister of China. She met with the prime minister of China. The Chinese Communist Party is a very elite institution. Believe me, you don't just get to fly over and meet them unless they think you're very important for them. And there's no question. Mitch McConnell has been key for the communist Chinese. Because as I've been saying now for a very long time, we have the best Congress that money can buy. Lynn, thank you very, very much for that call. Mike, do I have time to take one more? Can I take Bill and Sudbury? This episode sponsored by Jace Medical. It's 11 p.m. The pharmacy is closed, and you need meds now.

Mario's Quality Roofing, Siding, and Windows. Are we being told the truth about Senate Majority Leader? Well, actually, Sandy, he's no longer Senate Majority Leader. Sandy, he's former Senate Majority Leader. John Thune is the current Senate Majority Leader, Sandy. So we're going to have to tweak the poll question. But, okay, let me rephrase it. Are we being told the truth about former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's illness? A yes. B, no, you know where I stand. They're lying to us right through their teeth. No, but that's me. I want to hear from you. You can vote on our webpage, WRKO.com slash Cooner, WRKO.com slash Cooner, KUHN is in National ER. You can also vote via X, and again, I was very active on X last night. My handle there, all one word. At the Cooner Report. At the Cooner Report. K-U-H-N-E-R. Bill in Sudbury. Thanks for holding Bill and welcome. Good morning. Good morning, Jeff. Hi, Bill. Good morning. Good morning.

First of all, no one is surprised that you have constructed a giant conspiracy around this. So which is it? Is this a false flag operation or a three-dimensional chess? Or is it just a plain old deep state hoax? Is this a serious question or are you just being mocking and insulting? Well, are you going to answer me or are you going to make a speech and tell me how smart you are? Well, the audience thinks I'm smart and the ratings say I'm smart. So, you know, I mean, I'm the one with the show, not you, right? So I don't know why you're jealous and envious of my intelligence. But where did I say there's a grand conspiracy? Every thing. No, I'm answering your question. You asked, let me answer. Does anybody believe Mitch McConnell's story? Do you? Explain to me medically how somebody who has a fall in his home, according to him, he issued the statement. No broken bones, no bruises, no injuries, no heart attack, no stroke, no concussion, according to him. And you're in the hospital for four weeks? Unheard of. Unheard of. He went four weeks and nobody heard from him. Nobody, the president, any senator, his staff, nobody. That's incredibly suspicious. It's incredibly unusual. And then on top of that, he needs at least three to four more weeks to rehabilitate. For what? For what? As I said before, it's just plain common sense. Person on this show won't mention who, had a relative, won't mention which kind of relative, but close, had an accident, fell in their home. and had a concussion and broke their back and was out of the hospital in one week. So it's clear that they're lying to us about the state of his health. And I just want to add this bill. I know you like to insult me and give you these ridiculous cheap shots to which I say, you know, if I'm this clown that you claim that I am, why do you listen and call into the show? But let that go. You were the one that told us for four years. that Joe Biden was sharp as attack. That there was no dementia, no cognitive decline, no mental decline, when now even his own staffers, even his own chief of staff, even the people closest to him, now almost every liberal reporter comes out and says they covered up for Joe Biden's mental decline. So they covered up for the president of the United States. You mocked me for that. I turned out to be right. You were wrong. And now it's obvious they're covering up for the former Senate majority leader. You know, some things in life, I got news for you. I know you love power and I know you love the government. But politicians lie and their staffers lie. And they're clearly lying. They lied about Biden. They lied about Feinstein. And now they're lying about Mitch McConnell. I just answered your question. Bill, hello? Make a long speech. It's very interesting. No, I answered your, Bill, listen to me. I answered your question. All right, now you answer my question. No, no, no, no, no. Hold on. Relax. I'm going to give you plenty of time. I speak in paragraphs. If you can't understand a paragraph, that's your problem.

13:18

So you asked me a question, and I gave you a thorough, comprehensive answer. What's your reply? Go. You have a very simple question, and you change the subject and end on a question. What subject did I change? What subject did I change? Turned it around on me like you always do. You say you're a poopie head, so I don't have to respond to what you're saying. I didn't say you were a poopie head. What are you on drugs? I never said that. Oh, you call me names all the time. No, no, no, no, no, no. You're the only person, the only person calling names was you to me, okay? Which is what you often do. And then when I respond, your feelings get hurt. Now, if we're going to have a discussion, let's have a discussion. You covered up for Joe Biden for four years. You mocked me. They were covering up his health, his bad health. I was right. You were wrong. They covered it up for Diane Feinstein. I gave you all the reasons why it's obvious they're covering up for Senate Majority, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. So you're going on about that I'm fabricating a conspiracy theory. There's no conspiracy theory. His story doesn't add up. Your rebuttal. is the part that I disagree with you on. This is not exclusive to politicians. This happens in every single profession. It's heartbreaking. And I don't think that you should immediately check yourself into an old age home the minute your wife tells you you should. I think this is a heartbreaking thing that happens to guys at all levels of professions. So for you to make it into some kind of conspiracy just because he's a politician, to me, seems cartoonish. that they're covering up one of the most powerful senators in the U.S. Senate, that he cannot discharge his duties. You know, I'm sorry, but a U.S. senator has a hell of a lot more power and influence than, say, somebody working in an office. Again, these non sequiturs. So I know people suffer from Alzheimer's, duh, or people suffer from strokes, duh, and some of them don't want to let go, duh. But we're not talking about that, whether it's heartbreaking or not heartbreaking. There are only 100 U.S. senators. He's one of the most powerful in the group of Republicans that has the majority. If he's not fit to discharge his duties like Joe Biden wasn't, then a senator has no business staying in power. Because then you have people behind the scenes making decisions on his behalf. And that's not what the voters elected. This is a sacred trust. When you're elected, president, senator, member of Congress, governor, whatever, we voted for that individual. Not for staff, anonymous staff members making decisions or his wife, who's tied to the Chinese Communist Party, making decisions on his behalf. And that's why there's no lack of precedent here. For most of our history, if a senator can't do their job, they're told to step down. Not today, because they love the power.

16:45

So I'm sorry if he can't do his job and he clearly can't and he's lying about his condition, which he is, then I'm sorry he should resign. There's no grand conspiracy. My only shock is why can't you see it? It's like saying two plus two is four. All right. Final word to you. Go. saying that you should decide when he should retire. So if you're going to take it away from the gentleman himself who's sitting in the hospital deciding, if you're going to take it away from him and the voters who voted for him, who are you going to give it to? You're going to give it to his wife? You're going to give it to his staffer? Who else is going to make the call? Well, there's a procedure in place. It would be the governor of Kentucky. Again, this has happened often. And I just find it incredible. What, I'm not allowed to give my opinion? I mean, are you such a totalitarian? That's what you Democrats are. Look, you're such a Democrat. No matter the cover-up, no matter the lies, no matter the incapacity. That's up to him. It's up to him. No, it's up to the voters. The voters of Kentucky want him out. If you're not fit to do the job, then don't do the job. You're not entitled to power forever. And I'm sorry, Bill. This is still a free country. And if I think Mitch McConnell should resign, I have every right to say it. I know you love these politicians, and I know you think they never lie. But I have news for you. They lie and they lie often. This episode sponsored by Jace Medical. It's 11 p.m. The pharmacy is closed, and you need meds now.

Good. So I was thinking about you during the World Cup the last couple weeks. I know you were rooting for Portugal. I know. It's been a world win. It's been a world win. Well, I got to say, hey, they beat Croatia. That was pretty good. It's a shame they lost to Spain, but still, I mean, they made it pretty good. They made it pretty far into the tournament. I thought of you when they beat Croatia. I was like, oh, my goodness, poor Jeff.

19:56

I was like, oh, gosh, no, no. But it's okay, it's okay. That's life. You know, that's that's soccer, right? Someone's got to win, someone's got to lose. Yeah, I'm hoping, I'm hoping Argentina doesn't win. That's what I'm rooting for right now. Oh, so you don't want Argentina to win? No, no, no, no, absolutely not. I think I would have been happy with anybody but Argentina at this point. Maria, what's on your mind? I am calling because that man from Sudbury, that little man just enjoys, I don't know, he wakes up every morning thinking, how can I make somebody's day like miserable? He seems such a miserable little man, such a miserable person that enjoys calling your show. He must love enjoying listening to you because he still calls. But he enjoys gaslighting people like no one's business. He's just, like, so, like, blindsided by everything. And I'm going to say, I work in health care, as you know, and I have never heard, ever heard of someone staying for four weeks with nothing medically wrong with them. Unless they need a vacation from the wife, but still, that is not the appropriate place to go on vacationing because hospitals, you don't get any rest. And if there is something wrong with him, if he broke something or like people with brain injury, brain bleed, they after, you know, they are okay, they are transferred.

21:49

be wrong. And maybe, you know, he went to call me Jesus and no one's speaking up because he should have been out of his position a long time ago. Wish, I admit this boy should have been gone a long time ago. So inappropriate to be where he is. Oh, I agree, Maria. Well, look, this started, oh, five, six weeks ago. He just disappeared. And so, I mean, the New York Times, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, USA Today, the Hill newspaper, Fox, CNN, MS now. I could go on and on and on. Everybody was like, where's Mitch McConnell? I mean, if it's any senator and they're just gone, people are like, where are they? But this is Mitch McConnell. He's got John Thune's ear. He's the former Senate Majority Leader. He's got still tremendous power within the Republican Party. And he's just gone. And then it goes one week, and then it's two weeks, and then it's three weeks, and then it's four weeks. And his staff refuses to disclose anything. So everybody knew there was something seriously wrong. Because if it was just something that you can explain, they would explain it. Whatever. He's on vacation. Whatever. He had a herniated disc. He had to have back surgery. Whatever. Okay? But they won't say a word. They're mum. So now everybody knows. No, no, no, no. They're covering up. Everybody. Every reporter knows this. And then they had to release a statement because they're under so much pressure. And they come up with this manufactured picture. which AI now has found out to be an AI picture. Everybody saw it who looked at it, said it's not true. You have senators coming out openly saying, no, that's an old picture. That's not a new picture. I know my staff has told me. So nobody believes the picture that they released. The wife heads off to China to literally meet with the highest ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party Politburo. So something is very fishy there. And then he releases a statement. And I'm telling you, every medical expert, every nurse, and you work in a hospital, Maria, you're more qualified than anybody, they say, no, it's, if you just had a fall, and he said no injuries, no broken bones, no stroke, no heart attack, no concussion, no nothing, there's no way you're in a hospital for four weeks. That's impossible. That's impossible. It's never been done. It never would be done. And then if you just had a fall, as this guy said he had, and that's it, who needs another three, four weeks of rehabilitation? That's, again, medically impossible. So everybody knows he's lying. But the buffoon, Bill, has to call in and say, you're making a conspiracy theory. I'm like, my God, you know, where were you when God was handing out brains? I mean, it's so obvious they're covering up. Then his fallback is, well, it's very sad when this happens to somebody. Oh, okay. So he is now incapacitated. So we should just leave him alone. That's his answer. Like, well, you know, like Joe Biden. You know, for four years, this guy's calling in saying there's nothing wrong with him. Then at the end, no, no, he was incapacitated. Well, they should have just left him there. But why?

25:18

I mean, on what grounds? This is a U.S. senator, for God's sake. If he can't discharge his duties, if he can't function as a senator, he has no business being there. It's a position of immense responsibility. And Maria, and I promise I'll come back to you. They did this with Woodrow Wilson. As Larry from Arkansas was messaging me, and he made this point, and he's right. He goes, you know, this is nothing new. Woodrow Wilson, after the First World War, was pushing for the Treaty of Versailles. He so exerted himself, he suffered a massive cardiac arrest. And his people covered it up from the country. The president was completely on a bed incapacitated. He couldn't make a single decision. His wife signed every piece of legislation or everything that needed his signature. She forged it. And Colonel House was his name as top advisor. He was acting as the de facto president. Well, that's fraud upon the American people. They should have been honorable and said, I'm sorry, invoked the 25th Amendment. This guy is no longer capable, and the vice president becomes the president. That's why you have a vice president. They did the same thing with FDR. He was clearly incapacitated in his fourth term. In fact, he never should have run for re-election in November 1944. And because of this, we got Yalta. Because the president at that Yalta meeting was mentally and physically finished. Finished. He died. What was it? Four months into his term. His final term. Four months. And that's when Truman replaced him. But by then he sold Eastern Europe out to Stalin. And that's why Congress said we can never have this happen again. We're going to pass a constitutional amendment. A president is only going to have two terms. And that's it. So we've had experiences with this going back, I don't know, 100 years. I believe we should have term limits for senators and members of Congress. So something like this never happens again. Because Mitch McConnell clearly is incapable. He's not fit mentally or physically or both to be a United States senator. And all they're doing now is his staff and his wife are running his position. They're just voting for him and running his Senate seat for him. While this guy is sitting in some hospital doing God knows what. Honestly, Maria, he may not even be cognizant of what's going on. Sandy's theory is he's brain dead. And I think she may be right. Just like Biden was effectively brain dead. So I think he has no clue what's going on. You want my honest opinion? I think he suffered a stroke or a heart attack or whatever. And physically, mentally, he can no longer perform his duties as senator. Now, I'm sorry. I really, I wish it upon no one. But then you've got to step aside. You know, if I can't function as a talk show host, I have to step aside.

28:45

If the CEO of a company can't function, they have to step aside. If a doctor or a surgeon or a nurse can't function in a hospital, they have to step aside. Why are senators any different? Why are politicians any different? Final word to you, Mamaria. Agree? I agree with you a thousand percent. I feel like he should have been gone a long time ago. I don't think... he's capable of doing anything. I agree. He might have had a stroke and he's just not, you know, himself any longer and they need to cut ties and, you know, as sad as it is. He should have been gone a long time ago. I totally agree with you. This should be term limits for these people. It should be no more than four years. And that's it. The same. as the president, and that's it. These people take it full advantage. They think this is a lifetime career for them, and it shouldn't be. They're regular people like we are, but they love power, and they want to grab to it. Like the one that just passed away of a heart attack. I don't think he died of a heart attack. That's just me personally. I don't think he did. I don't even know his name. I forgot a name. Lindsey Graham, by Senator Lindsey Graham, right? Betty. saying he passed away. Everything seems very fishy. And I hate the fact that they continue to think that they can lie, that we are that stupid, that dumb, that we don't realize that they're bluntly lying to our faces. Well, you know, Maria, I think you really put your finger on it. To me, that's the most offensive thing, is... You know, if they said, look, there's been an incident or whatever with the senator, we'd like our privacy, whatever, something like that, where, okay, he's clearly there's something really mentally or physically wrong with him. But what they do is they lie. And they come out with this ridiculous photo that's clearly Photoshopped. that is clearly AI generated or an older picture, passing it off as a newer picture. And why do you have to lie to us? To me, see, that's what's so offensive is that to cover it up, they have to lie. Instead of just saying the senator has suffered a stroke or the senator has suffered a heart attack or a health setback or an illness or whatever, you can say it in many ways and he will need a couple of months to rest and to recover. Okay, fine. Okay. If it's just a couple months, maybe okay, fine. But this doesn't look anymore like a couple of months. This looks like Joe Biden. This is now going to be full time. And his staff and his wife are essentially now going to be executing his responsibilities and his duties and, and, you know, his capacity as senator. Well, I'm sorry, nobody voted for Elaine Chow. Nobody voted for his chief of staff. So you're perpetrating a fraud upon the voters and upon the American people. And that's why, look, again, I have no respect for John Thune.

32:08

John Thune is a liar. John Thune knows exactly what's wrong with Mitch McConnell. He should come out and say, look, I'm sorry. He suffered X, Y, Z, whatever it is. He's no longer mentally or physically able to do the job. He's got to resign now, and the governor should replace him with a proper replacement. But the reason is he's a no on the Save Act. So they keep him there so that if they need to wheel him out to vote against the SAVE Act, there he is. Because the people of Kentucky want the SAVE Act passed. Overwhelmingly, it's 90% in Kentucky. It's 90 to 10, Maria. 90 to 10. So they got to keep this guy there, run by his wife and his inner circle. just in case they need this guy to roll them into the Senate on a gurney, you know, or in a wheelchair, and just have them, you know, push the no button. So that's what this is all about. And honestly, it's sickening. So, and I'm with you, Maria, it's long past time for term limits. If it's good enough for the president, if it's good enough for governors, it should definitely be good enough for members of Congress. Tom, thank you so much for that call, Maria. Tom in Framingham. Thanks for holding Tom and welcome. Good morning, Jeff. Good show today. Thank you. Especially when you were talking to Bill. I thought you had some really good points. I want to say this. I think one of the things that's really important, someone messengers this this morning is keeping control of that Senate office the next six months. Why do I think it's important? I think it's important to the CCP. The reason I do is because Elaine Chow's over there. I think they've got a wish list for her. And I think among the wish list would be... lobbying for lobbying the State Department on behalf of the office for long-term resident visas for rich Chinese citizens, industrial spy visas for them to come in the country and infiltrate companies and student visas, student spy visas. And I think they have a big, I think that now that Mitch McConnell's, this is going to be Mitch McConnell's last term. I think they were going to do a lot of that stuff on behalf of China. I think that's what the plans were. But now that he's out of capacity or he's out of action, Elaine Chow's over there assuring her that all that stuff that they want done is going to get done. That's what I think. Don't take this the wrong way. I only have eyes for my wife. But I love you in a non-sexual way, my friend. You hit the freaking nail right on the head. This is all about giving China exactly what they bought them for. That's why the moment this guy is incapacitated and they send them to the hospital.

35:27

Every other normal person, I don't care, wife, husband, when your spouse is in a hospital and apparently there for four weeks, okay, but this is the beginning. You're by that person's side. Nothing else matters. Not Elaine Chow. She runs to her paymasters in Beijing, and you nailed it like a checklist. First to the vice president, then the prime minister, then the foreign minister, the entire Politburo. What do you guys need? Check. What do you need? Check. What do you need? Check. What do you need? Check. In other words, we're going to fulfill our obligations to you because they paid for the Mitch McConnell's. And they want to get full service for what they paid for. And I think that nothing else explains it. And I think you're dead on. They were asking their pay masters up in China to the CCP. So what do you need us to do for you? I will do it on behalf of Mitch. Mitch is not well. Mitch doesn't know what day it is. I don't even think Mitch knows what planet he's on. But don't worry. His staff is working with us. I will be making all the decisions the way Jill Biden did for Joey behind the scenes. And so give me the list and we will fulfill your order to a T. And I know our money is waiting for us in some Swiss bank account. Because I'm sorry, but that's what our Congress has degenerated into. and the Chinese have bought up the Democrats and many Republicans. And I think, Tom, you nailed it. That explains why she went to China. That explains why they're covering up from Mitch McConnell. And that's why there's no way in hell this guy is going to step down. Because the Chinese own them like a $10 streetwalker, and now they want to get serviced. Tom, final word to you. I know Lindsey Graham just died, but back in 2019, the pre-nuddy Tucker Carlson reported that Lindsey Graham was lobbying the State Department, the Trump term one state department for more long-term resident visas for wealthy Chinese citizens. So I think a lot of that stuff goes on in those South Carolina Senate offices. I think the... They're surprisingly, both of them were surprisingly heavily employed by China. Both Mitch McConnell and paid for. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, both of them, you're dead on Tom, bought and paid for by communist China, among many others.

He's allied to Mitch. And you're dead on. John Thune is playing stupid with the Save Act. He doesn't want to pass it. Now, he's telling Trump what he wants to hear. Yeah, yeah, I back it.
