Okay, we're going to go to Kathy and Rochester, but before we do, Wednesday, 720-ish, you know what that means? Truth or Troll? Take it away, Mike. And now, America's favorite game show, where you get to decide on the Cooner Report. This is Truth or Troll.

1:17

All right, today's entry for truth or troll comes from Senator Bernie Sanders on CBS, where he is asked if he regrets supporting Graham Platner and his candidacy for Maine Senate. Here's what Mr. Bernie had to say. You were an early supporter in Maine of Graham Platner. You helped him rise. Do you regret not acting earlier to call for him to drop out, given the warning signs? Would that have given you a leg up here with Jackson? No, I don't think so. When we heard the serious allegations made against them, I wanted to get on the phone. I wanted to talk to him. I did. I asked, along with virtually all the, his supporters, that he should get out of the race and he did. All right, so that's interesting. He doesn't regret it. He's such a liar. It really is crazy. So is he telling the truth here or is he just, I don't even know, trolling, messing around. I don't know how you could even do that. He's trolling. He's BSing. That's what he's doing. He's BSing. First of all. He didn't know. I got on the phone with him and I had a conversation and I said, no, you really need to get out. No. He kept backing him and backing him and backing him. No matter how many outrageous scandals kept erupting. It didn't matter what this guy did or what people said about him. Bernie kept saying, I'm sticking with him. I'm sticking with him. I'm sticking with him. Until, you know, the last one, which was a liberal who said he raped me. And they looked at the poll numbers and they said, no, Graham Platner can't win. So let's just use this rape accusation as an excuse to bury the guy. So he's such a freaking liar, you know? So now it's like, oh, the moment I heard about that Nazi tattoo, I just said, that's a bridge too far. He's such a liar. I got to tell you, man, this guy, honest to God, you know, he really does belong in the old Soviet Union. So, no, I think he's trolling, but that's me. I want to hear from you. So Bernie Sanders said that when he heard about... All of Plattenor's flaws. Let's put it this way. He had a conversation with him, and that's when he decided he told Graham Platner he needs to step down. Is he a telling the truth? or be trolling, and trolling in this case means BSing, lying. I think this guy's trolling all the way, but that's me. You can vote on our webpage, WRKO.com slash Cooner, WRKO.com slash Cooner, KUH, N is a National ER. You can also vote via X. 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. You want to know how when a Democrat is lying? Like you want to know to tell. Jeff, like, okay, so how do I know when a Democrat's lying? The moment they open their mouth. The moment the mouth starts moving up and down. That's it. That's the towel. They're lying. Kathy in Rochester, we're going to pick it up with you. Kathy, you are saying, what are these people on Capitol Hill do? It's disrespectful. They're not doing the will of the people. Hell, they're not even willing to work six months of the year, that this is getting to the point now where they're just insulting us and insulting us to our face. Please pick up where you left off. Yeah, right, Jeff. And they're just taking advantage of us. You know, they're really just taking advantage of us. And this is not what our forefathers wanted when they established a U.S. Constitution, established our government. They wanted people, just regular people who are going to work for we, the people. And, you know, I think we need to kind of get away from having a lot of these people who elected officials who have a law degree and become... you know, politicians. I think that could be part of the problem. We need to elect some people who are just regular, you know, down-to-earth, blue-collar workers to get in there because they can relate to what we, the people, are going through. And you're right. So many small business owners, they work there, they put their heart and... And look at what happened during COVID. They were demolished. They lost their business because of that evil little troll. But that's another point I just want to get to. But I was just saying the things they've talked to us about. Oh, food insecurity. Let me tell you, when I go out and I look around, I don't see any food insecurity. I see people who are so overweight, and what they really need is like a, they need a six-month diet. And then people are hurting. Are you kidding me? They just had the folk festival and jazz festival in Newport Rhode Island. It was sold out. The place was packed. You go into a restaurant today. You can't even get in. It's jam-packed. People are spending money left, right, and center. So, you know, they just want to make Donald Trump look bad, so they come up with all. these lies about what's happening in the economy. The only thing I will say is gas did go up. Someone was telling me yesterday, we went up like 30 cents a gallon. But once he fixes that mess in Iran, hopefully gas prices and heating oil prices will come down. But then the other is a conspiracy theory, Russian collusion, believe in the science. Which brings me to the real fact that I called you today is that I hope everyone can pick up the phone and call Rand Paul D.C. office because I'll tell you, after listening to your show yesterday, four hours of your show, I got goosebumps. You know, especially that woman who called from Worcester Polytech Institute to talk about the seven students who committed suicide. I mean, that broke my heart, and I think it broke everyone's heart. Oh, you're completely right. Look, Kathy.

7:23

Today we're going to find out what Rand Paul is made of. When the pressure's on, the last thing you should worry about is sweat. Sweatblock helps stop sweat and odor all over with dermatologist recommended antiperspirants for underarms, hands, feet, face, and body. So whether it's game time, gym time, or your big moment, sweat block helps keep you dry, confident, and locked in.

Visit sweatblock.com today and stay dry when the pressure's on. Sweatblock, own the moment. Just super, super quick, because I want to go back to the phones. By the way, a couple lines are open if you want to jump on. 617-266-68-68. Kathy made the point and some of the previous callers. Larry made the point that everything that's being done right now, especially from the media, but from the deep state, from the Democratic Party, from so many levers of power. is to demoralize us, is to confuse us, is to dishearten us, is to confuse us. And that goes back to a, it's literally a Soviet technique invented by the Russians. That's why people say, well, why do you always use Russian when you say, you know, disinformation or misinformation, disinformation, misinformation, misinformation, disinformation, because those are literally Soviet Russian words and strategies that they invented and that got picked up by our regime, especially under Obama and it got worse under Biden. And our own deep state picked it up. And so the way communists were able, or the Soviets were able to control and confuse and disorient, and that really is the key word, disorient, their population was to keep throwing misinformation, disinformation at them all the time. lie after lie, half truth after half truth, propaganda after propaganda, what you're seeing from the mainstream media on a nightly, you know, consistent basis. lie about Trump, lie about the food security, lie about the real state of the economy, lie about the war in Iran, lie about the borders, lie about deportations, just constantly give out this or misinformation to grind you down, to disorient you, to confuse you, and ultimately to break your will, to demoralize you.

10:28

For you to say, look, just forget it, I'm done. You can't beat them. There's nothing you can do. And just, you know, let me throw in the towel. Now, it worked for a while under the old Soviet Union, but in the end, the people rose up. You could only lie to people for so long and get away with it. And, you know, Anthony Fauci is example, you know, to me, he's example A. He lied to us. and they tried to break us during COVID. He lied about it being coming from an, that COVID came from a wet market, from an animal, a bat, a rat, a monkey, whatever. He lied about that we were secretly funding gain of function research. He lied about the vaccine. He lied about how severe COVID was. He lied about the mask mandates. He lied about the lockdowns. Remember, everyone forgets this now. He was the one that came out and said, two weeks. Remember that? We're just going to shut it down. Two weeks. Just two weeks. Like we're just going to pull the plug on the computer. We're just going to unplug for two weeks, kind of reboot the system, and then it's all going to be good. And two weeks turned into two years. So that's what they do. They lie. Now the big lie is that we have, quote, the most secure elections in history. Remember that? Oh, how dare you even mention voter fraud or the issue of election integrity? Nobody's got more secure elections than we do. Well, guess what? Now we're finding out they're registering thousands of illegals, non-citizens in New Jersey, and now they're trying to block and prevent Trump from getting access to the voting rules. Now we're finding out that Zohran Mamdani most likely stole his election. That at least 200,000 fraudulent votes were cast in his election for mayor, and he only won with 207,000 votes. We're finding voter fraud now is in almost every election. But they got to keep lying and lying and lying. so that they don't pass the Save America Act. To the point, and this is my fear, that people now are being so disoriented, so battered, so exhausted, so demoralized by these lies that they keep peddling, that having fraudulent elections, having rampant voter fraud, stolen elections, people now are just, you know, you're just, it's like living in an Eastern European dictatorship. That's what they do. Shrug your shoulders. What can you do? Nose to the grindstone. I got to work. Pay taxes. Pay my rent or my mortgage. Put food on the table. And I'm just a dispossessed peasant. What else can I do? I'm not a citizen. I'm not an American with rights. This is no longer a constitutional republic where they work, our politicians work for us. We don't work for them. And one of the most sacred things in any republic is the right to vote. Because when you have fraudulent votes, you are negating, you're canceling out votes of people like you and me, legal American citizens. And on top of it all, notice, in the old days, meaning just, you know, 10 years ago,

14:11

They used voter fraud to put up democratic hacks in power. Now they're not just putting up democratic hacks. Now they're putting up, say, Muslim Marxists like Zohran Mamdani. Or, you know, these Democratic Socialists of America, DSA communists. So, or, you know, again, Muslim Marxists like Ilhan Omar. So now they're putting up revolutionaries. anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Western revolutionaries who want to literally overthrow the entire American system. So now voting fraud has become even more dangerous and to me more important than ever that we confront it and that we defeat it. So stay and, you know, do your job. You've had enough vacation time to last you 10 years. Okay, already this year, you've taken so much vacation time. You're good for 10 years. No August recess, no freaking vacation. You stay until you pass the Save America Act. That's what Trump is demanding. That's what the country is demanding. It's what I'm demanding. Agree, disagree. Andy in Milford. Thanks for holding Andy and welcome. Good morning, Jeff. Andy. Hey, Jeff, four points. Number one, we've now got to melt down the phones up on Capitol Hill. And make it clear to all these clowns, you are going to pass the Save America Act. And we're not going to budge on this point. Point number two, team Trump, the president is going to have to be ready to declare a national emergency. This needs to be a plan B. There's enough evidence on the board now to just get this in under a national emergency, a national security emergency, especially given the China influence. Point number three, all the senators up in the Senate that are... that are fighting to prevent the Senate from going in on recess, they need to start a serious movement in the Republican caucus to get John Thune out as Senate majority leader and get somebody else in there that can take care of business. Final point, Jeff. If, God willing, in New York State, they can elect the Republican governor this fall because this would never happen under Kathy Hocco. The governor of New York State would have the authority to remove the mayor of New York City. And certainly, given the revelations discussed this morning and other things, they would have ground to do so.

17:32

Andy, bang, bang, bang, bang, all four. Absolutely hit it out of the park. Andy, look, I can only piggyback and add to what you're saying. So far, the Republicans now, Bruce Blakeman is the man now that I think is going to be the Republican nominee. Bruce Blakeman now is trailing Kathy Hochul by only four points. That's almost within the margin of error. The Democrats are panicking in New York. A Republican may win this November. We shall see. But now she's facing a really stiff challenge from Bruce Blakeman. So if he wins, I think at a bare minimum, he's going to at least order a full-scale investigation into Zohran Mamdani's election. And when the public finds out how many hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes were cast, undeniably. It's going to shatter his legitimacy. I think it's going to shock many, many New Yorkers. Now, your other point, and I think it's an absolutely dynamite point about John Thune, Senator Mike Lee is not just leading this rebellion to keep, you know, keep them in session and not go on vacation. Mike Lee now, publicly, it was about maybe three days ago, publicly came out and told John Thune, if you don't have what it takes, to keep us in session and get the SAVE Act past. I'm almost directly quoting him. When the pressure's on, the last thing you should worry about is sweat. Sweat block helps stop sweat and odor all over with dermatologist recommended antiperspirants for underarms, hands, feet, face, and body. So whether it's game time, gym time, or your big moment, sweat block helps keep you dry, confident, and locked in. It's the number one choice for excessive sweat with more than 20,000 five-star reviews. Visit sweatblock.com. That's sW-E-A-T-B-L-O-C-K.com. Visit sweatblock.com today and stay dry when the pressure's on. Sweatblock, own the moment. Okay, it's slightly, and I just mean slightly off topic. Sorry, I'm battling a bit of a cold. So I had to cough there. It's slightly off topic, but it's very important related to what we talked about yesterday. What is going to happen later today? with the explosive testimony of Anthony Fauci and in front of Rand Paul's committee, the Committee on Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security. But it goes to what we're talking about overall, how we are being constantly systematically lied to. So I want you to hear this. Please, all of you, you need to stop what you're doing. Trust me. You've got to hear what I'm about to tell you. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Last night announced a bombshell revelation about Anthony Fauci saying, I know for a fact, and we have the evidence to prove it, that Anthony Fauci, after he got his public COVID jab, suffered a direct adverse side effect.

21:13

In particular, listen to this, I'm going by what Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., he's got the smoking gun evidence. He said, look, we have the documentation, Anthony Fauci can't deny it. He apparently suffered what's called a pulmonary infarction. And you may ask, well, Jeff, what's a pulmonary infarction? Forgive me. It's usually, I'm looking by the medical term. It's injury or death of a tissue. either in the heart or in the lungs, resulting from inadequate blood supply, especially as a result of obstruction of local blood circulation. So in plain English, and that is one of the side effects that has been known for people who have taken the jab, is that they either get damage to their heart or damage to their lungs. Well, Anthony Fauci suffered. tissue damage, serious damage to his lungs. And he hid it from the public, deliberately hit it from the public. And as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. said, what he ended up doing was he hit it from the public. And then he went to an elite private medical facility. I'm talking top dollar. And in secret, in the shadows, he had to get himself taken care of. He had to get serious treatment. And once he got serious treatment, and basically they helped, you know, relieve the problem and the situation, he then came back and then continued to say that there were no side effects.

23:01

Even though A, he was told repeatedly and he saw the evidence that there were side effects undeniable, again, with a minority of the population, but still, you know, these are still millions of people who are getting bad side effects, but that he himself had suffered an adverse side effect. And this son of a B went out and continued to lie that there were no side effects even though he himself. had tissue damage to his lungs to the point that he could barely function. And so he had to go to a, you know, for the Uber rich, a super fancy private medical clinic. I'm telling you that's going to be brought up today at the hearing. And then after he came out, public statement after public statement, there's no side effects. Look at how they lied to our face. Again and again and again. This guy deserves to be in jail, man. Like this, I'm telling you, this is, like enough is enough. How the hell do you do that? How does this guy still have a medical license? How does he still have a pension? Now, the Save Act, the Senate is scheduled to go to vacation, i.e. on recess. by tomorrow. Okay? Tomorrow, John Thune wants Washington empty. So right now, the Senate is about to end its session. Okay, we're less than 24 hours away. And the SAVE Act has still not been passed. And so the Cooner Country poll question of the day, sponsored by Marios. Mario's quality, roofing, siding, and windows. Now, I'm not asking, should it be passed? Because to me, 1,000% it should be passed. And I think the overwhelming majority of this audience wants it to be passed. I'm asking a different question. Will the Senate pass the SAVE Act? Not should it? Will it? Can these Republican rebels, these band of rebels, these band of rebels, along with real pressure now coming from Donald Trump, the president, can President Trump and these Republican rebels, can they force John Thune to stay, you know, in session and get the SAVE Act over the finish line? So the question is, will the Senate pass the SAVE Act? A yes. Be no. You can vote on our webpage. W.R.k.o.com slash Cooner. W.R.k.o.com slash Cooner. Kuh. N is a Nancy. You can also vote via my handle on X. At the Cooner Report. All one word. At the Cooner Report. KU.H.

26:26

And is in national ER. Look, I'm really praying and hoping for a yes. Nothing I want more than yes. But that's my heart. My head, I think the answer is going to be no. I don't think they're going to pass it because I think there are too many powerful interests, vested interests, that don't want it to be passed. So... I'd probably vote B. My heart's with A, but I would probably vote B. But that's me. I want to hear from you. 617-266-68. Who do you want me to go to, Mike? Nick in We maymeth. Thanks for holding Nick and welcome. Well, good morning, Jeff. Hi, Nick. You know another? How you doing, kid? Another facet of this, the save vote. One thing that soon has been doing all along is keeping Mitch McConnell out of the freight. Andy Beshear, the governor, is making noise trying to force Mitch McConnell to put up or shut up. Either you can function or you have to go. I don't think he'd get rid of him, but he could start a furor by... going against the rule and asking for a special election, right? But what Mitch McConnell has done and what John Thune has done is a long time ago. I believe that Mitch McConnell is incapacitated and cannot do the job, right? And it's so selfish of him, but on the other hand, it's heinous, however you pronounce that word, of heinous of Hune, to not have already asked for a special election, whatever, along with the governor, months ago, right? Two months ago, right? Because it's worse than we thought. So now you could have had in place a senator who would have had a good head start towards special election had he been appointed already temporarily, like Lindsey Graham's sister, right? She's now an active senator. She'll be running. He could have had someone in place. So now... We don't have a 53 majority. We have a 52 to 47 majority, right? And we now, and of course, he was one of the three or four that were always voting against Trump. Anyways, I get that. You could have replaced him, but he's still sitting there. As for what happened in New Jersey and elsewhere? Well, I'd say the ball is in the court of the Attorney General. Are they going to go after anybody? Are they going to prosecute anybody? I'm sure they can get some underlings who worked under the former governor who made all this happen, right, and just put them away. And that sends a signal and then go after other states as well. But you're right. This is totally incapacitated what we... had hoped had been honest elections. It happens all the time. I thank you very much for your time, Jeff. Thank you, Nick. No, you're completely right. Look, let's be honest, okay, as the French would say, entre new among us, among us girls. If this was a Republican governor in a Republican state, and it was 6,600 voters that were illegally registered for Republicans,

29:53

And we find out not 400, but thousands ended up voting at the bare minimum. I mean, Democrats would be asking for heads to roll. This would be wall-to-wall saturation coverage. It would be on every nightly news broadcast. CNN would be covering it round the clock, MS now, lead front page in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, Reuters, Boston Globe. I mean, I could go on. I mean, it would be the scandal of the century. The governor would go to jail. The lieutenant governor would go to jail. The attorney general would go to jail. I mean, there'd be so many people going, look, the reason why I say this was such confidence, look what they did to the J-Sixers. And half of them were innocent. I'm talking old ladies on the steps of the Capitol. Okay, old ladies who did nothing wrong. They were just there. They're not even inside the building. They're outside the building. And they got 10, 12 years for, quote, being domestic terrorists or, quote, insurrectionists. So can you imagine if they were actually stealing votes and stealing elections? Oh, my. Ha, y, aye, y. But when you do it to Republicans, or especially to MAGA conservatives or MAGA Republicans, what's the problem? Suddenly, what's the big deal? Okay, just very quick. This is from 7-8-1. This is regarding Anthony Fauci and what was revealed yesterday, again, shockingly, by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. So here it is. Remember that Anthony Fauci took the jab and got a pulmonary infarction. So this is what 7-8-1 writes. Jeff, a pulmonary infarction is a serious medical condition. where a part of the lung dies because it loses its blood and oxygen supply. It is most often caused by a blood clot in the lung known as a pulmonary embolism. Well, that's what Anthony Fauci suffered. And he hit it and he covered it up and the medical establishment covered it up. And this guy high-tailed it to one of the most exclusive elite private medical facilities in the entire country, all in the dark of night. And it took him apparently a while to get well. And then he came out and then lied and told the public that there were no side effects to the jab after he had a direct side effect. And by the way, pulmonary embolisms is one of the adverse consequences of taking the jab. It's not the only one, but it's one of the widely known reported consequences. How is this guy still walking free, honestly? But, okay, just we'll have plenty of time to discuss Anthony Fauci. We spent four hours on him yesterday. How do you lie to us like this? See, to me, that's the issue.

33:11

That we constantly are being just lied to. Again, I go back to misinformation, disinformation propaganda. So our medical establishment lies. Our media lies. Our politicians lie. It's just constant lie after lie after lie after lie. And now it's, you know, there's no such thing as voting fraud. Okay, well, no, there is voting fraud. Okay, well, it doesn't happen often. Okay, well, it does happen often. Okay, but we don't know. We don't know if it's enough to actually change the outcome. Well, okay, on Zohran Mamdani, they found 230,000 illegal votes, and the margin of victory was 27,000. So I think that's more than enough now to, you know, that could have been the margin of victory, right? That could have affected that election that probably stole the election. So what are you going to do now? So you see, they lie, they get caught, they move the goalposts, they lie again, they get caught, they move the goalposts. Now it's, there's nowhere left for them to move the posts. They're stealing at a level where it's undeniable elections are being stolen. And they don't want to report on it because if the American people found out the true extent of the fraud and the election corruption, the SAVE Act, they'd have to pass the SAVE Act. And then it's finito, game over for the Democrats. 617-266-68. Sid in Middlesex. Thanks for holding Sid and welcome. Unfortunately, one you could use on any segment of any show that you do, any show you do, or how many years you do it. Basically, everything is just the stupidity of the American people. And I mean, it's stupid. Okay. Sid, can you elaborate, my friend? You ever hear the old saying, a person who stands for nothing will fall for anything? Yes. Okay. These people are so preoccupied with other things. Their phones, movies, social media, this, that they don't, you'd be shocked if you ask some people about certain things, and they go, what? What's that? You taught in college, right? Yes. Do they even teach geography anymore in high school or college? No. People don't even know where you're talking about. They don't watch news. They don't watch, like, the world news. They're good with the local channels, the nonsense, and they probably can't even retain half of that. You know, you took a guy like Opta from Chestnut Hill. I think he's very well read, and I enjoy listening to him. But when you start talking about, you know, the voting machines, people don't understand that. They don't understand that. People have never had to sacrifice anything. You've got generations that have...

36:45

grown up with no sacrifice, no hardships, no hard jobs. And they say now that people are just being passed along in school, from high school into college. College is passing them along, too, just to get them out of there. The only people are probably like serious high-tech jobs, like MIT or something. But when you talk about when they're calling Trump a Nazi or calling Trump Hitler, most of these people don't even know who it was. Nazis, they don't know. devastating effects of World War I and World War II. And you could do a tutorial to people about the siege at Stalingrad. Remember that? Oh, Sid, I got to tell you're on fire. And look, you know, I forget what it was. It was when I go on vacation, I like to read, right? I catch up on some of my reading. And I was reading a book, one of the many books I've been read. I've read, but this was one of the many books I really loved on the Nazis in Hitler. And this one in particular dealt with the early years when he first came to power and what he did, how he began to wipe out his opponents. And even then, the euthanasia. How he went after people who were disabled. Obviously the Jews, he was going after them right away. But just in general, when you see everything, the murder, the slaughter, the everything early, early on. And I just remember I said to Grace, you know, she was reading something else and I'm reading. And I just put my book down and I said, you know, these idiots that keep calling Trump Hitler and the Nazi. They're so historically ignorant. They're so stupid. Exactly I said your word. I go, it's really unbelievable. I mean, okay, fine. You don't like the guy. You don't vote for him. That's fine. I mean, it's a free country. But they even put Hitler and Trump in the same sentence. To put Nazi and Trump in the same sentence as you read the list of atrocities, the horrors. And I'm talking 1933, 1934, Sid. You know, I'm not even talking after World War II where they really started to, you know, in Poland, Ukraine, start putting all these Jews in gas ovens and wiping out the poles and wiping out entire peoples. I'm talking about just in Germany the first two years. And you see the extent that they went to, the barbarism, the savagery. And I'm like, my God, are these people dumb? I mean, they're just dumb. Or they're just that ignorant. And look, I agree with you on every single point. Here, I have a hard time now motivating my children, motivating my kids to study. Why? Because this is what both my Ashton and Ava tell me, well, Dad, why should I study? They pass you no matter what. And I'm like, what? She says, yeah, they don't fail you. So if I don't know any math, they just pass me. It doesn't matter what the subject is. So I have to tell them you're going to get punished if you don't get a B or, you know, I put a certain floor in terms of a grade. But it's getting to the point now my children are telling me and they're not lying. Their friends have confirmed it. They're going, no, no, we don't get, we don't fail. Nobody fails. So you're just moved from grade to grade to grade to grade to grade. And Sid, really, we are graduating people from high school.

40:18

who many of them are functionally illiterate and can barely do grade four, grade five math. I don't know what to tell you. I mean, it's horrible for us to compete with other countries, but even beyond competing with China and all these other countries, that's the future. Those are the future voters.
