26 segmentsBoston's bulldozer never sleeps. The Cooner Report Weekend Edition. On the voice of Boston, W. RKO. Joining me now to talk about this, as she always does at this time, Dr. Grace putting liberals in their place. Grace Voto, full disclosure. Yes, I married Super Up. That's why we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last week in the Bahamas. And I've enjoyed every single one of those 30 years. Grace Votto. Grace, I've got to ask you right out of the gate, did Trump make a good move or a bad move? And having Todd Blanche take over from Pam Bondi and now go ahead with the prosecution and the indictment of James Comey. First off, let me say you're the best husband ever. Oh, thank you. I've been waiting 30 years for this. You know, you get that on a daily basis. All right. So another note. Okay, so regarding Todd Blanche, look, I am not a fan of Todd Blanche because I believe that he was part of the cover-up with Pam Bondi regarding the Epstein files. So I'm hoping that this just does remain an acting appointment, and then he chooses somebody that will give those victims justice. However, I am delighted to see, you know, had he not been involved in the cover-up, right? I would have been cheering everything that he's doing now because, yes, it's amazing. Right now, what he's doing is great. So I applaud him for a couple of things, not just the James Comey indictment, which even if we don't go all the way with it, it does send a message to the political class. You know, the process itself is the punishment. You know, his reputation is being destroyed. He's being exposed. for the wrongdoing that he did, even if we don't get a full prosecution. And Jeff, what he did, though, in defending pro-life activists is also formidable. Remember that gentleman who during the Biden years was arrested with a whole SWAT team outside of his door, he got a million dollars from the Justice Department. And so now people that want to protest at abortion clinics, if they're pro-life, they can feel free to do so. The Justice Department has... are back on that. So good things are being done by Todd Blanche. No question. What do you make of this indictment in particular? Do you think it has legs and will it go to trial and will James Comey eventually go behind bars? I think if this is all that we have, it's not sufficient to go too far. because, you know, he did take it down right away so his lawyers can argue, you know, this was a bit of a misunderstanding, or his intention was not to get somebody. You know, this might be some wiggle room, is my point. I think there's got to be a lot more to it. So unless we see what else do they have to show that he truly wanted to provoke somebody to commit that act.
I certainly took it that way. I did because I don't like him. I've been very suspicious of him. When I saw that post, I was horrified, and I was among those who wanted it to be taken down immediately. I certainly took it that way. My fear is that to convince a jury to actually put it behind bars, they're going to need to show us what else they have, that it wasn't just like, you know, get rid of the guy from office, meaning let's elect somebody else. or impeach him, you know, could it be interpreted differently by some members of the jury? And I think there's enough wiggle room if it's just the post. What did you make, I know you touched on it, but 86-47, when he put that up and then claimed that he just saw it on the beach, this seashell formation. First, he said it was his wife. She saw it and said, Jim, come on over here, Jim. Take a look at this. Is this an address? What is this, Jim? And then he, you know, said, cool, rock, whatever, cool shell formation. And he just blasted it out on social media. Was he sending a cryptic message? to his deep state friends, deep state operatives, wink, wink, we've got to get some unstable person, and someone needs to take Trump out. Was this a call to assassinate the president, in your view? In my view, yes. Jeff, I think there's no question about it. That's a very strange. Post to make, even if you did see a funky shell formation on the beach. Jeff, you were on vacation. Did you post? Hey, look at this funky shell formation. Especially if you're a member of law enforcement where you realize that, you know, a post like that could be interpreted in many different ways, you know. So I think there's definitely, he knew what he was doing. I took it as a threat. I took it as he was trying to incite violence. And I'm hoping that a jury sees it the same way. Are we now seeing a different, is Rocky? Is everything okay with Rocky? I do not know why he's going berserk right now, which he never does. So I think he's seeing something. Did the kids feed him this morning? Because he gets a little grumpy if you haven't fed him breakfast. Some threat outside. Or maybe he's weighing in saying that you mentioned James Comey and even Rocky knows the guy's guilty. You know, Rocky's like saying, no, he's guilty. Put him behind bars. I mean, I can understand Rocky speech. Now, let me ask you, are we now seeing a concerted effort under new leadership? I know you're not a big fan of Todd Blanche over the Epstein files, but overall, the fact that Pam Bondi is gone, Vamos, she's out. Are we now seeing Donald Trump...
refocusing on fulfilling one of his key campaign pledges that deep state criminals are going to be put behind bars. Is this now the beginning of more people like, you know, crooks and criminals like James Comey, whether it's Brennan, whether it's Clapper, whether it's Anthony Fauci, are we going to start to see more arrests, more prosecutions, and hopefully some people going to jail? about it. He's very aggressive. He's very smart. He's tough. He also knows how to handle the media, and he doesn't seem to just crave the limelight for its own sake. So he's a huge improvement from Pam Bondi. And I do think that we're going to get much better results with him. We're already seeing it. Like I said, with the defense of the pro-life activists and exposing what the Biden department did in that regard, already I'm delighted at what he's done. too. Even if we don't get the full results that we want with James Comey, I do think it sends a message to the entire political class. Don't mess with conservatives in the future. You'll pay a price of some kind. And that's definitely a step in the right direction. Well, at a minimum, it's going to cost him a ton of money. I mean, these legal fees, in other words, what he did to Michael Flynn, which was essentially bankrupt the poor man. Well, this may cost them millions of dollars. I'm talking James Comey now. Because the lawyers that he's had to hire now, they're not cheap. Let's put it that way. So in a way, he's getting a taste of his own medicine. So, you know, he destroyed Flynn. He bankrupted Flynn. Even if he skates. This is going to cost them a lot of cash. Final word to you, Dr. Grace, we've got about 30 seconds. Right, Jeff. It's a lot of cash. It's a lot of aggravation. And it's a big, big hit to his reputation. So that's why I applaud what Todd Blanche is doing, everybody that was involved in sabotaging the will of the people during Trump's first term. And even those that are involved in it right now need to understand that there's going to be consequences for that going forward. So that's definitely a step in the right direction. Amen. Amen. All right, Dr. Grace, putting liberals in their place. Grace Voto. Grace, we will be talking to you next week. Same time, same place here on the Cooner Report, and give Rocky my best.
Tell him daddy says hi. Okay, 617-266. 68 is the number. You heard Grace. She says it's a victory, even if James Comey is not convicted. Do you agree? And let me ask all of you the ultimate question. Did Todd Blanche, did the Department of Justice, did the Eastern District of North Carolina, the U.S. attorney, Did they make the right decision to go after James Comey for threatening to kill the president of the United States? Jeff doesn't get a day off. This request came from his wife. The Cooner Report Weekend Edition on the voice of Boston. W. RKO.
