Okay, you want to see how Trump just, I mean, masterful. Like, again, like a surgeon, how he brilliantly dismantled the Democrats by focusing on these 80-20, even 85-15 issues. And again, the Democrats fell for it every single time. This is Trump. He's pointing out in the gallery, Sage Blair and her mother, her adoptive mother, Michelle, listen now to the story that Trump tells. This is an attractive young woman now, I guess she's going to college, and her teachers were trying to convince this woman that she was a man. And they did it behind her parents' back. And they were trying to secretly transition her from a female to a male. Roll cut 11, Mike. In the gallery tonight are Sage Blair and her mother, Michelle. In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents. Hard to believe, isn't it? Before long, it confused Sage ran away from home. After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son. Sage was thrown into an all-boys state home. and suffered terribly for a long time but today all of that is behind them because sage is a proud and wonderful young woman with a full ride scholarship to liberty university sage and michel please stand up i mean literally it's a miracle they could have had her commit you know general mutilation forgive me you know cut off her private parts and take these hormone blockers and, you know, and, you know, other drugs that would have physically made irreversible changes. And they essentially kidnapped her from her parents and tried to secretly transition her. And so Trump's making the point. We can, we have to pass a law, a federal law, where this can never happen again.

You cannot impose or coerce kids, children to mutilate their genitals and to take hormone and puberty blockers in the name of transgenderism without parental rights and parental consent. And yet the Democrats were sitting. They refuse to acknowledge, yes, yeah, on this we can agree. Now, listen to Trump's response because in there is maybe the line of the night. Roll cut 11A, Mike. Thank you for your great bravery. And who can believe that we're even speaking about things like this? Fifteen years ago, if somebody was up here and said that, they'd say, what's wrong with him? But now we have to say it because it's going on all over numerous states, without even telling the parents. But surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents' will. Who would believe that we've been talking about me? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately. Look, nobody stands up. These people are crazy, I'm telling you. They're crazy.

We're lucky we have a country. With people like this, Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped it just in the nick of time. I swear to you, that's exactly what I was thinking. Again, I don't think the audio does justice because as he's laying all this out, it's not just that the Democrats are sitting. No, no, no, no. They're pointing their finger. They're swearing at Trump. There's one, what is it, the transgender Democrat, the only transgender member of Congress, losing his mind. He's dressed as a woman. Losing his mind. And you've got Ayanna Presley, you've got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, no, she wasn't there, you've got Ayanna Presley, you've got Ilhan Omar, you've got Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, all of them, pointing their fingers, swearing at him, denouncing him, you know, racist, bigot, transphobic. And that's why Trump is like, what is wrong with you people? You want to have kids transitioned? Without parental consent? Like, how do you even have a country with people like this? We give them power. And it just came out spontaneously. These people are crazy. We give them power. They will destroy us. Dan in Boston. Thanks for holding Dan and welcome. Jeff, my brother from another mother. Dan, did you watch the speech? What did you make of it, my friend? You know something? I was trying to watch some reruns of the rightful men. No, of course I watched this speech, Jeff. Hey, so you've got a lot of questions out there this morning, though, Jeff. You know, we've got the Mike's thing there, the truth of troll. Imagine, imagine her running again. Just imagine it. Do you remember when Stephen Colbert in 2015, when Trump announced he was going to run, or 15 or 16, and Stephen Colbert said, bring it, do it. That's what I would say, someone was running again. Do it. Anyway, he was, that was, you know, so, you know, we've still got so many issues in this country, though, Jeff. You know, so you interviewed, was it, Camille the other day? Yeah, Conelli. Dan, do me a favor. We're up against the brakes. I want to give you enough time to really flush out what you want to say.

Okay, let's go right back to Dan in Boston. He watched Trump State of the Union last night. And for the most part, from why did I gather, he loved it, thought it was a masterful performance. Dan, please pick up where you left off. Okay, full disclosure. I'm actually at MGH waiting to see a doctor. So if he walks in, I got to hang up. But anyways, yeah, master post, probably the best state of the union I've ever seen. But we were talking about Ken Elyle. You had him on the other day. Yes, on Monday. Who goes to the polls during a presidential election and blanks the president? Who? Nobody. He could say, I voted for someone, you know, a third party candidate. I don't care. Fifth party candidate. I wrote in my uncle Joe, but nobody blanks the president's spot on a ballot. That just, it makes no sense. So you've got to get called out on that greater. Obviously, you know, like my dog who's dead now would be better than Marahili. I put a dead dog in the gun is better than Marahili. So anybody, anybody but her, but, you know, stuff like that. These, these, you know, Washington Washington coming out saying oh you know yeah I'd like election yeah sure you did all right so that's one of my my rants going on today obviously well that struck me as well I mean Dan again it's you know can you least can speak can speak for himself but when I asked him did you vote for Trump in 2016 he said no 2020 no 2024 no

So three times he voted no. I said, well, did you vote for Hillary or Biden or Kamala Harris? And he said, no, I blanked the ballot. And I, you know, honestly, I was thinking to myself, I've never heard someone blank the presidential ballot. They may not, you know, they may not like either the two major parties or the two major candidates. They'll go libertarian. They'll go green. They'll write somebody in. They'll, but just blank the ballot. That's the first I ever heard of it. But anyway, please, Dan, you're on a roll. Keep going. So the speech was the greatest. I think honestly, if they can market that, the number one thing that we should be doing is protect Americans and show them on their hand. Literally list out all of the Congress people that sat on their hands and didn't get up. That, you know, that should sell the election for us for the midterms. But I think he's on a roll. I think, I know, someone asked if Nick Shirley was there. Nick Shirley did. He posted on his... Dan, you're breaking up on us. We can't hear you anymore. But, no, we got your central point, which is one of the best state of the union, if not the best state of the union you ever heard. And I agree. And look, there was so much there. When he said the turnaround has begun, just when he laid out what he inherited 12 months ago, when he said, look at the border. Look how many illegals were pouring in. Look at the fentanyl. How many Americans it was killing. Look at how crime was out of control. We had 9.1% inflation under Biden. Everything, everything gas was at four or five bucks a gallon. I mean, the way he just sort of laid it all out, I inherited a country in malaise. This was malaise. We were in deep trouble. We were on the ropes. And now a year later, stock market smashing all records, SNP smashing all records, inflation, core inflation now, 1.7%. Massive job creation, all of it in the private sector. Gas in some places in the country, two bucks a gallon, he was pointing out Iowa, what was it, a buck 85. He said, a buck 85 in parts in Iowa. Buck 85. Now, you know, he said, look, it's, you know, eggs down, groceries for the most part, down, rent, down, mortgages down. Now, he says there's more work, we've got to work, but he goes, look, it's turning around. And basically what he's saying is just give me even a little bit more time. It'll get better and better and better. So the way he laid it out, you're like, geez, the guy has done so much in a year. There's no question. And the country is infinitely better under his policies and his leadership than under Biden. There's no question. And then the way the Democrats behave because they were so radical and extreme, he just kept pointing and saying, you want to go back to that? You want to give them the keys to Congress?

You want them to come back to power? Is that what you want? It was devastating. It was absolutely devastating. Well, I think, is ordering something or anyway, let's, we'll come back to Bill. Let's go to Deb in Foxborough. Thanks for holding Deb and welcome. Hey, Jeff. Good morning. How are you? After last night, boy, I'm on a high. Very good, Debbie. Me too. I love this speech. To me, it seemed at times like a Trump rally because of the, you know, when it fell out USA, USA with the fifth and the hockey team. And it seemed like one of the all-time variety shows like Ed Dan Sullivan. Because it was like they had, you know, peaks and valleys and zigzags and guests. And it was just to me, and like Arthur said, it flew by. It was one of the longest ones, but it flew by. And you had the audience participation from both sides. It was just wonderful, you know, one of those. But I want to get to, but it was cohesive. It went, you know, it was very smooth, not polished. But it was like very Trumpian. And I just enjoyed us so much. And, you know, I want to talk about Nick Shirley, too. You just, you know, this morning you gave me my Christmas present, knowing that he's coming here. And to hear Trump talk about Massachusetts because I always waited. I was saying, what is it with Massachusetts? You know, I didn't know why, you hear California, New York. And, you know, everybody knows how rampant the fraud is around here. So I am so happy today. It's just great. Well, Deb, look, let me be brutally honest. It's people like you. It's Cooner Country. because you call and you call and you call and you get involved and you get engaged. And again, I have to be very honest because the ratings of this show have been so good. Our streaming numbers are through the route. I'm not bragging. I'm just being honest. So people in the White House feel they have to listen because they know what is, you know, what is MAGA thinking? What is the base thinking? That's this show. We're the pulse of the base. We're the heart and soul of the base. So that's why they listen. And honestly, there were parts of what we have been talking about, what I've been talking about, what this audience have been talking about, really were in Trump speech, almost verbatim. And so we made a big stink about, listen, Massachusetts is the new Minnesota. Like, trust us. Come on down. You think Minnesota's got fraud. Come on down. and message was received and message was registered. And that's why I keep telling everybody, don't give up hope. You have to sometimes try and try and try, but eventually you'll get through. And so I know it's frustrating because things don't happen as fast as you would like it as I would like it, but now they're in trouble.

And look, and watch, okay, Shirley is going to shame the media, the entire media. Boston Herald, that rhino rag, the Boston Globe, which is a Democrat rag, Channel 4, Channel 5, 7, 10, 25. He's just going to show up like he did in Minnesota and say, look at the money. I've got 100 people collecting food stamps and it's a parking lot. I've got 200 people collecting food stamps, and it's a small apartment. Like, you watch, you watch what he's going to uncover. And you're going to say, if one guy with a camera can uncover all of this in a week, where the hell has the media been for the last 25 years? And the answer is in the tank. That's the problem. They've been in the tank. The fraud was there. You see it. I see it. We all see it. The media, they didn't see it because they didn't want to see it. Here's golf legend John Daly.

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of... The American government is to protect American citizens, not a legal alien. That, to me, was the moment of the night. There were really two moments that really stood out. This one, and of course, none of the Democrats did stand up. And, of course, the cut I played earlier, where Trump said, these people are crazy. I mean, these people are just crazy. And I think that... This is going to haunt the Democrats now for a very, very long time. Agree, disagree. 8.50 now on the great W.R.K.O. Jeff Cooner, Boston's Bulldozer, 617-266-6868. Couple lines are open if you want to get on. Did you watch last night's State of the Union Address? And did you like Trump's performance? Did you agree with Trump? Did you think he did a good job or do you think he blew it? How would you grade Trump's state of the union address? I give it an A plus. To me, it was absolutely brilliant. A grand slam. One of the best state of the unions ever. But that's my opinion. I want to hear from you. 617-26668. This is from 603. You can text the Cooner Man, 70470. 70470. Jeff, when the Democrats refused to stand.

for the protection of Americans over illegals. It was the first moment of honesty that I had seen from the Democrats in a very long time. I agree. They were being brutally honest. You see, had they been shrewd and smart, as I said in my opening monologue, play stupid. You know, lie, be a phony. Pretend that you care about American citizens. Stand up. Instead, Trump laid the trap for him and they fell right into it. Now there is no longer any debate or discussion. Democrats put illegal aliens first. American citizens last. Checkmate. James in Arkansas. Thanks for holding James and welcome. Good morning, Jeff. Hi, James. I just wanted to say that the State of the Union dress last night was excellent. I think he really hit it out of the park. He was on point on a lot of issues. And the one that I want to bring up was where he talked about the snow shovelers in New York City and how they needed ID and all that. I think that that's, you know, it's so funny that they require just no shovel, but it's to vote, you don't need it, that this doesn't make, doesn't, I don't reconcile with that at all. I will say that. People can have birth certificates and death certificates and merit certificates from 1900 all the way to present day. They're available. They're out there. So if you need to get that, you should be able to get that to be able to show proof. And the reason I bring that up is that I belong to a organization called the Sons of the American Revolution that requires that to join that society. You have to be able to prove. that you were born, and that you're related to someone, and those documents are available. So from a standpoint of showing proof... You white supremacist, you. You Jim Crowe-loving, segregationist, racist, you. So you guys are asking for birth certificates. How dare you? Now, let me ask you, James, if I'm getting too personal, please tell me. When you ask someone, hey, you know, you want to be part of sons of the revolution. We have certain rules, standards. You know, you can't just claim like Jeff Cooner, who just came from Canada, you know, 25 years ago. No, you're not a son of the revolution now, Jeff. Don't BS us. So we want to make sure you really are a son of the revolution. Can you come up with a bird certificate? Now, when you ask that, has anybody ever said to you that's racist, that's bigoted? That's white supremacy. That's Jim Crow. That, you know, James, I can't do this. I'm just, I'm too low IQ and too stupid and too incapable of getting a birth certificate. Has anyone ever complained to you or your society about that?

Oh, no, they haven't. The people that do call that ask about it, I mean, they want to show that they are directly related to someone who found this country 250 years ago. And we require that. So if they're not going to, if they don't want to do the work, they don't want to do that, then they're not going to be able to get in. That's just, it's very, very cut and dry from that standpoint. Could I, could I get in? Oh, well, if you had someone that lived as relative, that was, well, no, my people were being, you know, my ancestors are from Croatia. We were getting hammered and kicked around by the Ottoman Turks. 250 years ago, they were, they were hammering my, the Muslims were hammering my family. But I mean, could you make an exception? Could you maybe make me an honorary member? Could you do that? No, this is a very, you have to show that. You've got to prove that, give that documentation up. Well, can't you give me an amnesty? Like, treat me like an illegal. No, no. Fortunately, that's not going to work. I mean, we have, of course, the sons of the American Revolution for the guys. We have daughters of the American Revolution for the women, so women can get into that organization. But they have to go to the same process, and they actually are more. strict, they're very strict in terms of what documentation you produce. You just can't give them, hey, look, an ancestor.com, I'm connected to this person. Well, that's not going to be enough. You have to actually produce a legitimate document in order to have your application submitted and approved. James, you know why? Because you're a legitimate organization. I'm not stroking your ego and being honest. That's why sons of the revolution, daughters of the revolution, have an impeccable reputation. Because you're not running a Mickey Mouse operation. You have to really be an ancestor of someone who, you know, 250 years ago fought in the revolution. And, you know, it's not just enough to claim it. You have to show it and prove it. And that's why you're a serious organization. And look, your point is so valid. It's not even funny. If you require that to be a member of the sons of the revolution or daughters of the revolution when it comes to voting where we decide the president of the United States and, you know, Congress and who's going to govern us, and we can't require the most basic thing like a photo voter ID. And that was Trump's point. And I thought he laid it out brilliantly. You can't even shovel snow from Zohran Mamdani. without showing not one but two forms of ID plus your social security card. By the way, James, long story short, my wallet got stolen years ago. And my social security card was in the wallet, okay? Anyway, I've never, I've never replaced it. I mean, I know my social security number. I know it by heart, so I use it when I need to. But, you know, technically, I have to go to the Social Security Administration and ask for a Social Security card and have it replaced. Otherwise, I'm not kidding, I couldn't shovel snow for Zohran Mamdani. So my point is, they have even higher standards.

And I think they really expose themselves for who and what they are. And look, I want to play two cuts, but before I do, I want to get your take. You're often, obviously, much more critical of Trump than I am. That's one of the things, I mean, I know you voted for him three times, but let's be honest, I like him a lot more than you do. But let that go. What did you make of his speech? What did you make of the state of the union? What did you make of the way he kept shaming the Democrats? And did Trump reset his presidency with his speech last night? And he had two very important goals to achieve. One is he had to consolidate MAGA because he's got a lot of incoming fire throughout the year from people that voted for him that were disappointed or sometimes felt betrayed. And I think last night he did that because he reminded MAGA again and again, look at everything that I did deliver. And number two, he needed to lay out a blueprint for the midterms for the Republican Party. And the thing that really came across loud and clear is we cannot go back. However imperfect, you know, his presidency might be or any presidency might be, but in particular, in this case, his... Nothing is as bad as how it was before. And one of the lines of the night, in my view, was when he said, you know what stands between us and a wide open border? It's Trump and the Republican Party. Basically, do you want to go back to that? So that was a theme he hammered home again and again. I thought the speech was outstanding. And I think one of the key lines of the night is probably the lines that everybody at home was saying. How many times that I say as we're watching it, and they're not getting up for that? I think that's one of the key lines of the night is what Americans were saying. They're not standing for that. Well, Grace, just to set it up for you. I want to play two cuts and then I want to get your reaction. This is the mother of Irina Zarutka, the Ukrainian refugee. She came here legally with her parents fleeing the war-torn Ukraine. And she gets in, you know, she gets, she's on a, she's stabbed viciously by a career criminal. It was all caught on tape. And she's killed in cold blood. It was a horrific violent killing. And he calls out her mother to recognize the slaughter of her daughter. And the mother is crying and weeping. And there wasn't a dry eye on the Republican side of the aisle. And the Democrats refused to stand. Roll cut 15, Mike. 15, Mike.

We're honored to be joined tonight by a woman who's been through hell, Anya Zurichka. In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful. What a beautiful young woman. Irene fled. War turned. war-torn Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way, what's going on with Charlotte? Last summer, 23-year-old, Irene was riding home on the train when a deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no cash bail stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. No one will ever forget there were people. On that train, no one will ever forget the expression of terror on Irene's face as she looked up at her attack her in the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal, set free to kill in America, came in through open borders. So he lays it out, and she's standing. She's crying. Her husband is consoling her and giving her a Kleenex. Everyone around her. Erika Kirk was trying to console her. Everybody, they're crying because you can all feel this poor mother's pain. And the Democrats are sitting. Stone cold, silent, stone-faced. They're just sitting. No emotion whatsoever. Roll cut 15A. Mike. Mrs. Zaretska tonight, I promise you we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Irene.

How do you not stand? How do you not stand? How do you not stand? How do you not stand? It was shocking, but it was devastating. Trump really unmasked them. And to me, I think that's going to haunt the Democrats. I don't know how they bounce back from this. Whether it's not standing if you support American citizens over illegals or now this, the cries of a mother whose daughter was senselessly murdered by a career criminal that the pro-crime Democrats released. And how do you not stand? Grace, your reaction. Yes, Jeff, that was my reaction then, which was a heartbreaking moment. And throughout the night, over and over again, I kept turning to you saying, how do they not stand for this? And I think that's what we're going to remember. He really exposed them as heartless. They pretend to be the party of compassion, but they are just heartless. So many moving moments in the speech. And I also have to give Trump credit, too, Jeff. Not only did he make a lot of brilliant points, but he was really funny. A few times I cracked up. You know, at one point he said about Nancy Pelosi. Well, I guess Nancy Pelosi. You think Nancy Pelosi would stand for that when he's talking about Congress who has to stop the insider information? Or another time when he spoke about the raid on Venezuela, then he said, well, how'd that work out for them? Because the Chinese and the Russians had provided technology that wasn't as good as our troops. I mean, he made a lot of off-the-cuff comments, which were hilarious. So as well as being brilliant and making a formidable case, he was charming, he was funny, and as you said, he was extraordinarily empathic, and he unmasked them as a bunch of monsters. I mean, how could you not stand for these heartbreaking stories? It's just beyond acceptable. Grace, what do you make of the fact that he also infused so much of his speech with patriotism, showcasing American heroes, not just these 100-year-old Korean War veterans or World War II veterans, but also that Coast Guard pilot who rescued that 11-year-old girl? who in the Texas floods last year saved her life and over 100 other people who were trapped, honoring him, honoring, you know, obviously the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team when they came in with their gold medals. And there he is, congratulating them. What did you make of the fact that he wanted to make pride and patriotism a centerpiece of the state of the union? Well, this is restoring masculinity. I think that was a key theme.

how vital it is to this country and to the whole citizens in it that benefit from it. He wanted to celebrate heroes and the warrior culture. This is a hallmark of the Trump administration. And it was also a middle finger to woke culture. Because what he's saying is, look, these are the real heroes, and we need these men. Look how remarkable they are. I mean, I'll never forget the image of that pilot who could barely stand on his broken legs. And it took all his strength to stand up straight to receive. the Congressional Medal of Honor. I'm never going to forget that till the day I die. These are the kind of men that we need to be celebrating, in contrast to our toxic celebrity culture that doesn't know what a real hero is. Grace, we've got about two minutes left. What do you think the impact of this speech is going to be? Usually the state of the unions, the president gets a little bit of a bump. then the bump fades, and it's really not quite memorable. People don't really remember State of the Unions. Is this one going to have lasting impact? And has Trump laid out a blueprint, a roadmap, as you put it, for the Republicans to win the midterms? Well, think how much better your own household is going to be, Jeff Cooner, when your wife is saying, you know what? There's so many accomplished.

Listen, I think it was remarkable. It was the reset that he needed. Yes, we need to hold all our politicians accountable, but we also need to remember when they're doing great things and never forget how bad it was. And he achieved all of that, and I think that message is going to resound for months and months to come. Okay, Grace, final question. Are the Republicans based off of the State of the Union? Will they hold the House? Will they hold the Senate? Everything depends on the economy. They need to continue to make the case. And one of the things that Trump did formatively is not only did he blame inflation on Biden, but even health care costs on Biden. They need to study that speech, memorize the talking points, and deliver it with the same conviction and uncompromising manner that he did last night, and we can do it. Dr. Grace putting liberals in their place. Grace Woto, as always, dynamite stuff. We will speak to you as always next week here on the Cooner Report, same time, same place. Have a wonderful day, Grace. Okay, Grace says it was a smash. He gave them a roadmap to victory in November. All they got to do is repeat and echo the talking points with the same conviction that Trump did last night. Do you agree? Did you watch the speech? And were you as impressed with it as I was? And as Grace was. Babe, did you see that Moto Casino is giving a 1,776,000 worth of prizes?
