Okay, my friends, to say President Trump delivered is to me, frankly, an understatement. President Trump delivered, and I'm choosing my words now very carefully. One of the best speeches he has ever given, maybe arguably the best speech ever delivered by him and one of the best state of the unions in recent memory. It was an incredible speech. It was uplifting. It was very patriotic. It was moving. It was powerful. He had a compelling story to tell and he told it. But above all, He exposed the Democrats in a way I have never seen a president do in any speech, never mind a state of the union speech. And this is to me the moment that this state of the union will be remembered for a very, very long time, listing his incredible accomplishments on the border.

on stopping or reducing the flow of fentanyl pouring into our country, a record low drop in the murder rate, in crime, his defense of mass deportations, talking about Biden opening our border to over 11,000 murderers, 20 million illegals, rapists, gangbangers. He looked around and he asked the fundamental question. Roll cut for a, Mike. One of the great things about the state of the union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. 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 illegal aliens. Now, at that moment, When he said, look, do you agree with this basic statement that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens? I could have played you the applause. It went on for two minutes. So I don't want to just play applause. Every Republican got up in the room. Every single Democrat remained seated. It was incredible. I'm telling you, it was absolutely incredible. Because at that very moment, what he did, and we don't have to give example after example after example, that 10 seconds exposed the Democrats for the traitors that they are, for the anti-American radical globalists that they are. And it was, they took Trump's bait. Trump played him beautifully. He played him like a fine piano. All they had to do, as I was telling Mike and Sandy before the show, our pre-show production meeting, even if you don't believe it, play stupid and get up and clap. Pretend like you believe it. But no, they're so consumed with hatred for Trump. They're so consumed with their trumped arrangement syndrome. And to be even more honest with you, they are so committed to open borders and illegal aliens flooding our country that they showed their true selves definitively last night. You can't stand up and applaud and agree with the phone, you know, that you should put American citizens. before illegal aliens, as Mike rightly said, it doesn't even mean that you don't like illegal aliens. You could still stand up and say, no, no, I love illegal aliens, but I just, you know, my duty as a member of Congress and the government should be to take care of citizens first, obviously. No, they couldn't even do that.

If the Republicans are smart, this is the clip you run again and again, you loop it again and again and again throughout the entire midterm election campaign. Nothing has smoked out the Democrats. Nothing has lifted the veil on who and what the Democrats are than this 10 seconds. It says everything you need to know that they now put the interests of foreigners as criminal foreigners who came into our country illegally above American citizens. They're not America first. They're America last. And then Trump, I mean, to put the final nail in their coffin. Looked at them. Now you have Elon Musk Omar. Some people did something. You have Rashida Tlaib, who by the way is wearing a pen that says, I can't say the word on there. I'm going to get fin. F. Ice. And they're yelling and screaming and shouting at Trump. They're going berserk. They're melting down. The camera's on them. And Trump says to all of them, shame on you. Roll cut for B, Mike. Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens. In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country, they're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

He defeated them. He humiliated them. He exposed them. I think he politically destroyed them. You want my honest opinion? Again, if the Republicans are smart. That's all now. That's the only thing I have to say is he's giving you the midterm elections on a silver Graham Platner. And let me tell you exactly the theme of last night's state of the union. By the way, he had tremendous energy. It was the longest state of the union in history, nearly two hours. It was full of patriotism. He recognized the team USA men's hockey team that won the gold medal. He honored 100-year-old Korean War veterans. At times it was powerful, it was moving, victims of illegal alien crime, American heroes. And most of the time, the Democrats were sitting on their hands. He showed them to be unpatriotic, un-American, and to be brutally honest, a party now that clearly hates and loads the United States. And the theme of yesterday's state of the union is essentially Trump is telling the American people, do you want these people back in power? Do you want the radical left? Look at him. He kept saying this over and over again. I've never seen a president do this. And he did it to such devastating effect. shame the Democrats. And he shamed them over and over and over and saying, you can't stand for this. Another one, I'll play the cut a little bit later. The Ukrainian refugee, everybody remembers her a couple years ago. Irina Zarutka brutally stabbed in the neck by a career criminal who they just kept letting out, these pro-crime Democrats, who kept letting them out over and over again. And he's honoring her and he asks her mother and father to stand, saying we're going to get justice for Arena. And the mother of Irina Zarutska is crying. And her husband is trying to console her. And Trump just looks around. And he says, you can't stand for her? You can't stand to honor the memory of a woman stabbed in the neck and murdered in cold blood by a career criminal? As he had then later said, you people are crazy. He just blurted it out, you people are crazy. Now, what he showed the country beyond the shadow of a doubt, as he said in one point, the only thing standing in the way of another wide open border and of criminal illegal aliens pouring in again.

is Donald J. Trump and the Republican Patriots in Congress. He made it as stark as he could possibly make it to the American people. The radical left is so extreme. Look, they're telling you to your face. They hate you. They hate Americans. They hate American citizens. They put the interests of illegals above you. Ten hours on my feet. Traffic, noise, everybody needs something for me. My head is spinning. I just need the world to stop for one second. But then I get home, shoes off, phone out, and I open Modo Casino.

And they didn't stand. I mean, the Republicans did, but the Democrats didn't. And I'm telling you, that's the midterms right there. 620 on the great WRCO, Jeff Cooner, Boston's bulldozer. Let me ask all of you, I think it was a home run. In fact, I think it was a grand slam. Not just a home run. It was one of the best speeches Trump has ever delivered. He needed to deliver a really good one. And man, did he not only meet the moment, he exceeded the moment. And I think it's one of the best state of the unions I've seen in a very, very long time. He reset the narrative. He clearly now has drawn the battle lines for the midterms. And the Democrats played right into his hands. You can either have me. And he touted his achievements. Border security. End of DEI. Inflation now at 2%. Remember, he made a very good point saying, I inherited a mess, an absolute mess. He reminded them, he reminded all of us just how bad it was when he first came into office. And so on the border, on inflation, on the fentanyl crisis, which has now been reduced substantially. The lowest murder rate in over 100 years. Jobs and jobs growth for Americans. Private sector. All of it in the private sector. As I mentioned, the end of DEI. Trump just listed achievement after achievement after achievement. And then he juxtaposed it to the utter insanity and the radical leftism, the anti-Americanism that was on full display by the Democrats last night. And that image of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and Pramila Jayapal yelling, shouting, screaming, melting down. as he asked them to stand and say, will you recognize our job as representatives, the government, is to defend American citizens first, not illegal aliens. And they just couldn't respond. They couldn't stand. They couldn't, they couldn't clap. They just sat on their hands. And then Trump calling him out saying, shame on you, shame on you, shame on you. And then he said, I want a bill passed that will officially end all sanctuary cities and public officials, i.e. Mayor Michelle Wu, for example, or Tim Walz or Jacob Frey or whoever, those leaders of sanctuary jurisdictions should go to jail. And the Democrats melting down. Like almost like rabbit animals. Yelling, screaming, shouting, hysterical. There it is. Loop it. Loop it and loop it. And Trump is telling the country now, it's me or the radical left. It's me or a return to the Biden Kamala Harris years. Is that what you want? You want the border ripped wide open again?

You want murderers and gangbangers and rapists that continue to flood into our country again? You want fentanyl killing Americans at record numbers again? Do you want runaway inflation again? Do you want DEI again? Do you want crime in our streets again? Do you want to see humiliation like in Afghanistan again? And that was the brilliance of his speech. Everything the media was working for the last couple months, demonizing ice, vilifying ice, vilifying Trump. He turned on him in that moment and in that speech. And then he wrapped it up in an America first patriotic agenda with some very powerful emotional moments. Again, it was a master stroke, master stroke. And I've never, ever seen a president. Shame the Democrats the way he shamed them last night. He shamed him on transgenderism. He shamed him on parental rights. He shamed them on illegal immigration. He shamed him on inflation. He mocked them about affordability, saying you all of a sudden you care about affordability? You? You? After what you've done? After what you and Biden did to us with historic runaway inflation? What you did to gas and energy alone? And we're cleaning up your mess? And you're trying to say we're to blame? Are you serious? I mean, he tattooed him again and again and again and again. And you can tell by the end of the night, it was like a boxer beaten to a pope. It was a boxer who had been knocked out over and over and over again. And so I want to ask you, did you watch President Trump's historic state of the union? What was your impression? Do you agree with the Cooner Man that Trump absolutely nailed it, that it was a brilliant, powerful, patriotic performance? And did Trump now expose the Democrats once and for all? 617-266.68 is the number. I'm taking all of your calls on the other side of this break. Okay, just a quick reminder at 9.30, we're going to have the second Republican candidate for governor here in Massachusetts on for a newsmaker interview, Brian Shortsleave. You certainly don't want to miss it. Trust me, it's going to be must listen to radio. But first, State of the Union, Trump delivers big. Did you watch his speech? What did you make of it? and that showdown between him and the Democrats, will this cost the Democrats big? Will they pay a big price in November? 617-266-68. Arthur in Chestnut Hill. You're going to kick us off, Arthur. Thanks for holding and welcome. Hi, Jeff. Well, it was a great speech.

And I'll tell you something about the speech as well. It was the longest speech of the State of the Union ever. However, watching it, it seemed like it went by quickly because it was so interesting and so well done. The last greatest state of the American state of the Union speech was one given by him as well. Well, I once said this a few years back, Jeff, and it applies to what we witnessed last night. You can't shame people who have no shame. And... And these people don't have any shame. And they're despicable. And they're not American. The fact that they're even in our government that they're allowed to be sitting in Congress is a disgrace. I don't understand what's wrong with this country that we allow people like this to even be sitting where decent people, because, you know, growing up in the 50s and 60s, this is all alien to me. This was never America. And I hope we can get it back because we certainly need to. Trump is, you know, is the right guy to try to do it. But I wouldn't be that optimistic about the midterms, Jeff. We haven't done so well with every special election. All this information has been out there, but not out there enough. While we have the greatest amount of political corruption I have ever seen in my lifetime that exists today, we also have the greatest media corruption. And that, and I can't, I can't impress upon people, well, why they aren't screaming for change, why the FCC doesn't do something about this. They're throwing band-aids on it, saying, well, the talk shows have to have to have equal time. That's not it. These people turn around, they don't report the news, they don't, they don't tell the truth, and this country is in trouble because of it. Our people have... The people who aren't intelligent that listen to your show and participate, okay, we know what's going on because we care. But enough people don't, and they allow this to continue unless something is done about this media in this country and to expose what's going on and the cheating that goes on is amazing. The cheating is unbelievable. And, you know, every state that Kamala Harris won, there wasn't voter ID. And voter ID, you know, that's one thing. But the mail-in ballots, the biggest fraud thing that was ever allowed in this country. And the people who participated in that, nothing happens to anybody.

No, you're a thousand percent. Arthur, you're a thousand percent correct. There's no question. No, this is what I want to ask you, Arthur, because it's so rare, right? The State of the Union, he talks directly to the American people. There's not that media filter, as you're talking about, to attack him and vilify him and put out misinformation and disinformation. And so he challenges them. It's a moment I think is going to live on for many years where he stares literally in the face. He's looking at him. And he says, okay, if you agree with this statement, stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. And no Democrat gets up. It was incredible. Every Republican obviously did and they're cheering and applauding and it went on for minutes. But for minutes, they're just sitting. The Democrats are sitting. In fact, some of them are swearing at him and screaming at them and losing their minds. And I can just imagine, you know, ordinary Americans watching this and they're like, what? It's akin to this, Arthur. It's as if he said, are you in favor of mom and apple pie? Stand up if you're in favor of motherhood and apple pie. And the Democrats sit. When I saw this, I'm like, my God, they're dumb. Or they're so arrogant, or they're so deranged, or a combination of all three. Because they fell for Trump's bait. Trump played them beautifully. Because now he's going to go to the American people and say, look, all of you watch the State of the Union. They're telling you. I don't know how much clearer they can tell you. They put illegals ahead of you. You're not first. You're not even second. You're last. Arthur, is this going to reverberate in the heartland with independence, with moderate Americans who aren't as informed as you or as this audience is, but they do watch the state of the union? I'm just curious. Is this going to be a wake-up call for many people? What say you? You know, for us, it was very inspiring, especially when you see the kind of heroes that were brought on to receive medals. I mean, you can't help but have emotion and feel pride in America. And I like the word pride for heroes, not people who belong to some queer society. And I'll tell you that We have to turn around and get control of our elections. There's nothing wrong with what ICE is doing. It's that they're allowed to be vilified. Everything they're doing in Minnesota is correct.

But the people who are in power in power in Minnesota are corrupt. Why are they still allowed to be in office? When is Trump going to do something? You know, he says, well, these shouldn't. It's enough with shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't. It's time to take action against these criminals. Arthur, you know, listen, I only have eyes for my wife, my friend. But I love you in a non-sexual way. I really do. You're right. You're absolutely right. Enough. Enough. You know, it's no longer shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't. It's time to start putting these people in jail. Arthur, thank you so much for that call. Really good call. Larry in Arkansas. Thanks for holding Larry and welcome. Well, good morning, Jeff. I heard you guys got some snow. Let me guess. You guys in Arkansas, not a snowflake, huh? No, I did have to add an extra layer of clothing because it dropped down to the 40s. But, you know. Oh, I don't know how you guys do it down there in Arkansas, Larry. Larry, did you watch the speech? And what did you think of the speech? Hilariously, I did. I was all set to watch it, and I looked up the time, and my brain didn't equate when it said on the Internet that it said 9 p.m. That was 9 p.m. Eastern. So I'm sitting here waiting for 9 p.m. I'm like, gosh, it is late. And I realized, hey, I'm an hour behind. It already started. But I was able to get on a channel that I could rewind it and watch from the beginning. You know, you can do that on Rumble and other places where you can just, you know, even though it's live, you can rewind it and start from the scratch. So I did that. Brilliant speech. When I was going through and listening, I kept hearing Reagan's speech, the bold colors, not pale pastels. He did a brilliant job, you're right, of giving the contrast between what we stand for and what the left stands for. Larry, do you think is it going to move the needle? And I don't mean like a bump in the polls for him. I mean, move the needle in the sense of reframe the race for the midterms and reframe the debate, put Democrats finally on the defensive, the media on the defensive, and maybe give Republicans now the roadmap to victory in November. What say you? He laid out the roadmap. What the Republicans do with it is another story, unfortunately. I hope they take the ball and run with it. He did it brilliantly. You, you. Larry, do me a favor. I'm up against the heartbreak, and I want you to finish your thought because you're such a thoughtful caller. Hi, Uncle Laser here.

Okay, Trump delivers a state of the union address for the ages. Usually people forget about the state of the union address, whichever the president is. There's a few exceptions. I think this one, though, will be remembered for a long time to come. It was incredible political theater. It had incredible powerful themes. And I've never seen a president. Openly shame. Openly call out. Openly expose and unmask. The Democrats, the way President Trump did last night. Epic. I'm sorry, that's the only word that comes to mind. Absolutely epic. Agree, disagree. All right, let's go back to Larry in Arkansas. He's enjoying the nice weather in Arkansas. They got no snow. And Larry said he tuned in late, but he managed to see it from the beginning. And he thinks it was Reagan-esque. Trump clearly drew big distinctions and differences between MAGA and the Democrats, and the Democrats will pay a price. Larry, please pick up where you left off.

Well, Jeff, I was joking with Mike that they threw the Geico Caveman out again and that he's like trying to set a record. You know, Mike had said he might be going for the trifectar next year. Then it dawned on me while we're on break. I don't think he's going to be there next year because he's. Because of that redistricting, I think he's out. But all they did was each and every one of them continued to embarrass themselves. And I hope Thomas Massie was equally embarrassed. I don't know if you got his bright maneuver he tried pulling. Thomas Massie? I know what did Thomas Massie do? sit with the Democrats in a show of unity over the Epstein files. So he's been right next to Rohana. How are we? Yeah, Ro Khanna. Ro Khanna. Thank you. And so, you know, I'd be embarrassed because, first of all, you would think the Democrats would learn from the disaster they did last year where they couldn't. stand for DJ, the cancer survivor. They couldn't stand for anybody. They did it again. And he was right to call them out each and every time. It was brilliant. Kept turning. You can't stand for this. You can't stand for this victim's mom. Are you serious? And you said one time, you're crazy. He also said, you people are sick, which was, like I said, is brilliant. It just kept pointing out how terrible they are. Larry, I want to play a cut and I want to get your take on it. He took a real shot at the Democrats saying, look, there's too much corruption in Congress. Everybody's coming in. They're making money. There's a lot of insider trading. And so pass the insider trading act. You know, stop the insider trading act. And the Democrats get up and cheer. And Trump, you can see genuinely, like, you know, you can read his mind, like, you want to talk about chutzpah. He's shocked. He goes, now you pretend like you're against insider trading. And he takes an open shot against Nancy Pelosi who was sitting, what, maybe 50 feet away from him? Roll cut five, Mike.

As we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information. They stood up for that, I can't believe. I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up if she's here? Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay. I wasn't sure if anybody even on this side was going to applaud for that. I'm very impressed. Thank you. I'm very impressed. I mean, he's mocking him, right? He's mocking him. Now, look, if the Republicans were smart, and they're not, but if Mike Johnson was smart and John Thune was smart, put it up for a vote today this morning. Like at nine, whenever Congress opens, convenes, nine o'clock, bang, all you Democrats stood up, you cheered, you're all pretending you're against insider trading, fine. Here is the bill. Vote on it. Call them out because I'm telling you they will not vote for it. They're a bunch of hypocrites. And they could really, really tear them apart on this issue. But the fact that he called them out and mocked Nancy Pelosi. And basically when as, you know, as far as you can say, she's a crook. Larry, what was your reaction? It was a brilliant, brilliant stroke, you know. It was interspersed between showing how crazy and radical they are and how patriotic the right is, right? Where he, you know, you choked up when he gave that helicopter pilot the Medal of Honor. Then he gave that older gentleman the Medal of Honor. The Coast Guard guy got the award for rescuing all those people off the ship. It was just what, and of course, like you said, with the team USA coming in and the hockey team changed USA, USA, USA. It was a very embarrassing night for the Democrats. They did not, like I said before, they did not learn the lesson from last year. They actually got worse. Oh, no, much worse. I agree, Larry. Look, look, the question now is. Usually the state of the union speeches get a big audience. The question now is how big was the audience? And if it was a really big audience, this was an eye-opener. You can't unring that bell what was seen last night. I think there's no question. And so the Democrats already are polling very low, very low, and they're going to poll now even lower. Again, you know what it was? It was an 80-20 speech. 80-20. It was on issues that 80% of Americans agree with. And the Democrats kept going for the 20 over and over and over and over. And I got to say, politically, he buried him. He absolutely Trump buried him.

And you're right, the choreography, the patriotism, the way he brilliantly set up giving medals and honoring our war veterans or victims of illegal alien crime, that poor five-year-old girl who barely survived a car crash after her car was plowed into by an illegal alien who was given a truck driver, a commercial driver's license. And again, the Democrats wouldn't stand. It just kept over and over and over. It was absolutely shocking. But, you know, look, if you listen to this show and you listen to Bill and Sudbury call in, and you listen to Chris and Gloucester, you realize you shouldn't be shocked because that's the Democratic base. There's their own, what they showed themselves was to be psychopaths. Really, their evil nature. really came across, and they didn't even bother to hide it. Larry, thank you so much for that call. Let's go to Tony in Florida. Thanks for holding Tony and welcome. Jeff, good morning, my fellow Patriot. Great morning. It was a great night last night, and it's a really nice morning, Tony. Right, right. Oh, my gosh, Jeff, absolutely. You know, we watched the entire thing. And not only that, but is that rebuttal by Abigail Spanberger, full of lies, absolutely full of lies. She's just absolute disgrace. The people of Virginia are drinking the Kool-Aid there. But anyway, and I just think that what's happening is, like, you know, and that goes for all of the Democratic followers, you know, they're drinking the Kool-Aid because they... trying to sell them on, oh, we've got to be compassionate for the illegals. Nothing could be further from the truth. The only thing that those Democrats care about is money and power. That's all they care about. Okay, so the thing is they're an all-out panic because every time... there's a deportation, and it's going on by the thousands. Every time, that's a lost vote. They're losing a vote. That's their base. Their base of the illegals. They don't have the American people in their corner. And last night, President Trump, Jeff, I think it was the greatest speech. I mean, ever since he made his coming. Excuse me, ever since he's been coming down the escalator, I watched every speech as much as I possibly can over the years. I think that was his greatest speech ever. I mean, he hit every single thing, every topic. He was giving the props and the recognition for the war heroes and the wonderful stories. But at the same time, he was hitting the Democrats, hitting them over and over and over again, shaming them. showing them for the evil people that they are sitting there on that side of the aisle. And I mean, you know what? It was like watching a surgeon, Jeff, like a surgeon just perform an operation, the precision. I mean, everything that he did, I mean, from beginning to end, I mean, it was just the greatest feature. He politically dismantled him. And I want to play actually two cuts. This goes right to your point. And I want to get your reaction, Tony. What I loved most,

And this is the thing I love about Trump. He's authentic. He's real. He's who he is. And I'm not saying this to criticize him. I'm just saying, look, he's a street fighter. He's a street brawler. That's who he is. He's not John F. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Ronald Reagan or Franklin Roosevelt in terms of soaring rhetoric. You know, the kind of, you know, the cadence and the speechifying and the, you know, where you say, wow. That's not Trump. What Trump is, is he'll tell it to you like it is. And he'll smash his opponents right over the head. Okay, he's like a bar room brawler. And that's what, that's what, that's, that's the Trump that came out last night. And he was funny. He was witty. He was off the cuff. But he didn't hold back. It was Trump unplugged, Trump unchained. And listen to this. This is him where he's now looking at John Thune. He's looking at the Democrats, but he's staring right at Senate Majority Leader John Thune. And, you know, he's almost practically whacking him over the head with an umbrella, right? Saying, look, I don't know how to make it clearer to you. So I'm going to say very publicly, you've got to pass the SAVE Act. As Trump said, it's the most important thing in Congress right now. We have to have honest, fair, clean elections. Roll cut three, Mike. And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act to stop illegal aliens and others. We're unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections that cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. It's very simple. All voters must show voter ID. All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. And no more crooked mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. None. And this should be an easy one. And by the way, it's polling at 89% including Democrats, 89%. So he's telling the country, look, the voter fraud is rampant. The Democrats are cheating. And he's looking at John Thune and he's looking at Republicans and many Democrats and saying, This is an 85, 15, 89, 11, 90, 10 issue. Like, this is a no-brainer. And then, he was actually very funny. He referred to Zohran Mamdani. And how Zohran Mamdani, if you want to register to be an emergency snow shoveler, you know, because he can't manage the city's equipment. Even then, you've got to show two forms of ID. So he's like, let me get this straight. The shovels snow and make 30 bucks an hour for Zohran Mamdani. You got to show ID. But to vote, which is the most sacred thing in a republic like ours, you don't have to show ID. Suddenly it's racist. And then he dropped the hammer.

And he looked at the Democrats. And you can see at that time it was Chuck Schumer. And the camera went on Chuck Schumer. And Chuck Schumer now starts to shrivel up right there. As Trump is basically telling him to their face, we know why you're against voter ID. We know why you're against the Save Act. We know why you're for all these mail-in ballots. Roll cut 3B, Mike. Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the policy that we just enunciated. And Congress should unite and enact this common sense, country-saving legislation right now, and it should be before anything else happens. And the reason they don't want to do it, why would anybody not one voter ID? One reason, because they want to cheat. There's only one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it's racist. They come up with things. You almost say, what imagination they have. They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat. And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it, Josh. Tony, when was the last time you heard a president of the United States talk this honestly and this frankly about the Democrats' election corruption and their voter fraud machine? Tony, I mean, he, I mean, it was a bullseye. He took him to the woodshed and he called him out. It was truth to power and he did it to their face. What say you? Jeff, I could not agree with you more. He did not leave any stone unturned. And when he hit the Democrats at that moment with the cut that you played, it was like he was pouring the water over the wicked witch of the West, and you just watch them melt away. And you know what? It's going to expand the lead in the House and the Senate. I'm predicting it. It's going to be big the midterms, and it's going to be unprecedented. But he was just like a surgeon last night. He's just absolutely tore them apart like a surgeon. He even, Jeff, he even hit the Supreme Court too. I mean, he hit everybody. You're right. And Tony, I agree with you. But the thing is, what I like the way he did it with the Supreme Court. You see, unlike the Democrats, that was a little bit of a softer touch. That's why I love your analogy of a surgeon. Sometimes you got to bust the chest plate wide open. You know what I mean? You've got to get rough. Other times when you're going around the heart and the arteries and you've got to be very precise, very, you got to have that soft touch. So, you know, you got to, you know, it's a bit of both. He called it an unfortunate decision. In other words, he let them know. Look, he shook their hands. He walked in. Everybody's saying, is he going to shake hands? He shook John Roberts's hand. He shook, obviously, Brett Kavanaugh. He was patting Brett Kavanaugh on the shoulder as he shook his hand. But, you know, he shook Amy Kony. He was cold. But he shook her hand. He was polite. And then he let them know. I'm not happy with the ruling. I disagree with the ruling. But then he told them and he told everyone the tariffs are here to stay.

Like, if you think you're going to stop me from keeping the tariffs, you've got another thing coming. So he made his point without coming across as a bully to the Supreme Court. It was, in other words, he went heavy and hard on the Democrats when he needed to, on the Supreme Court, chastised them, but it wasn't over the top or excessive. And that's why I love your analogy. It was like it was surgical. It was precise, surgical. It was an absolute masterpiece. Tony, thank you very much for that call. Great call. 617-266-68. Agreed, disagree. Andy in Milford. Thanks for holding Andy and welcome. Hey, good morning, Jeff. Andy. Hey, Jeff, I didn't watch the whole speech. I actually, I was going to tune into it, and then I fell asleep, woke up later, and I tuned to board late. So hold on. You fell asleep before the speech, Andy. I did. I did. I was so spent from moving snow over the last couple of days. The party just gave out, brother. That's the reality on that one. Now, Andy, what you saw, what did you mean, did you like or not like? Did you like the parts that you saw, was Andy happy or not happy? Here's the thing, Jeff. I was able to get the parts I didn't see on replay. I was able to get a replay and get the whole thing. 100,000% satisfied, Jeff, with the whole thing. I felt President Trump did exactly what he needed to do point for point.

Your analysis earlier, Jeff, that just what came out earlier, that, you know, the Democrats aren't even smart enough, you know, to just stand up and clap and pretend even though they don't agree. Here's the thing we just got to keep in mind, Jeff. The rhinos on our side of the football are smart enough to do that. Oh, that's a great point. That's a great point. And the thing is, we in the base, we in the grassroots, we have to do our job now going forward in the primaries and the nominating processes. And we've, I think we're going to have to get as many of these rhinos out on our side. as we possibly can. One thought I've had for a while, Jeff, just an aside, Senator Lindsey Graham has a primary opponent this time around. And, I mean, I looked into him a little bit, and he seems to be America First Guy Patriot. Republicans down in South Carolina might want to think about retiring Senator Lindsey Graham this time around. Because he's been in there a long time and, as we all know, over time, power corrupt. So. They might want to think about making a change. Andy, I'm with you all the way. All the way. Lindsey Graham does have a primary opponent. He's an America First conservative. He's not a household name, but maybe he will be. And Lindsey Graham is not only America last. He's South Carolina last. And I'm with you. We've got to purge these rhinos out of the party. And look, that's one of the reasons why I'm interviewing these Republican candidates for Massachusetts governor. I don't want to go with a rhino again and lose again.
