There's a couple of very important other important stories I want to discuss. We will go for one more segment. This is from... You can text the cleaner man by the way. 7047070470. This is from 617-Jeff. This is mostly crazy leftist female energy.

The super spreaders of the woke mind virus. Oh, I agree. I agree. I mean, this is the woke mind virus on full display. Full display. Okay. This is from Michael on Messenger, who makes a very good point. Jeff, how do the blind people know that others are wearing a mask? It's true. I mean, it's so absurd. You know, oh, I mean, look, by the way, we have a wonderful blind people who listen to this show via, you know, on podcast or they listen to it live. So please don't think I'm making fun of blind people quite the contrary. It's just how ridiculous these woke idiots at that bar are by trying to be offended for, you know, for nothing. I mean, if putting up a sign is offensive to blind people, then what?

We can't communicate using text. We can't have any text. What books are now offensive to blind people? I mean, just think about how insane this is. Newspapers, magazines, anything that, you know, requires script or text or something on paper. You know, that's like it just gets more crazy and more crazy and more crazy and more crazy. Again, the inmates are running the asylum. Dave in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Dave and welcome. Good morning, Jeff. How are you today? I'm very good. How are you, Dave? I'm not too bad. I had an idea. Maybe Mike, but no, should say that he's going to create a go fund me page to save this bar. And more healing will copy him just like she did with the gas acts and their problem will be solved.

Dave, I got to ask you something, my friend. Is this not the craziest story you've ever heard? If I didn't live in Massachusetts, I would agree. Yeah, it would be the craziest. This is just, I mean, come on, Jeff, this is normal for this state, isn't it? Secondly, who's the liquor distributor who's losing money by sending, you know, by making deliveries of alcohol or other products or food for that matter, food distributor, who's supporting this bar? Dave, that's another very good question. You know, and apparently the owner, she's renting the bar, right? This, this last owner, well, she's not really the owner. She's the, anyway, she's renting the bar. And I mean, she's not the owner of the property or the, the, the, the, the structure of the building. So she apparently now is behind on her rent. She can't even pay her own rent for the business.

And the owner now has said he owes, she owes him $3,900. And if she doesn't pay by the end of the month, she's out. She, the bar, everything in the bar out. So basically, she's got another week and this thing is over. And Dave, that's, you know, that's, that's the left. That's socialism or communism. And in the end, that's going to be America if we're not careful. And it's definitely going to be Massachusetts. To me, this bar is a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the left. And after a while, you end up running out of other people's money. I mean, that's what Margaret Thatcher famously said about socialism. The problem with socialism is after, you know, after after a while, you end up running out of other people's money. And now they've run out of everybody's money. Dave, final word to you.

What, seriously, what do you think is going to happen? I wouldn't be shocked. I'll, I'll, I'll kidding aside, not that Mike Minogue would do that. I thought you were funny, but I can see crazy liberals, moon bats in this state doing a go fund me to keep this bar going. Dave, am I wrong? Well, you could, but why would they want to spend their own money? You got to remember, they like to spend other people's money out there. Oh, that's a good point to Shay. That's a very good point, Dave. Who knows? I'm not kidding. Maybe he will jump in. I kind of like half serious. I could see her saying we want to save this bar. And then the moon bats all hooray. Hooray. Morah. We love you. Dave, thank you for that call Rusty and Wu burn. Thanks for holding Rusty and welcome. Rusty, are you there? And Mr. Kuhner, how are you? I'm good. Yes, go ahead, Rusty. Well, I'm a first time call. I just wanted to say this is a microcosm of what's going on because if you look what's happening on Friday and Saturday with the storm coming in with Ed Sharon coming to town in this non-sensical story going on at this bar that look all the little snowflakes are crying.

Where are you? Where are you? I'm not sharing anything about Palestine. I can't wear a mask at my favorite bar. You know what? It's a business model stupid. That's if they don't realize these little entitled little dopes. They think they can get away with everything and it's like no, you're a little minority. Speak your piece, but you know what at the end of the line, that business owner, they're going to be out Jeff. It's plain and simple. A model like that doesn't exist nowadays, especially after the pandemic. You can't just selectively enforce a crowd and say, yeah, we're going to survive on that. It doesn't work that way reality. It doesn't work. Well, last thing it's bumping up against reality and look in a way and I know I'm going to get probably attacked for this or at least maybe criticized, but in a way I do kind of feel sorry for the bar owner. Last one, not the one that went to clown school and the other one that just left, but this Jackie, Mattelian, I believe is how you pronounce your last name. I mean, to work for jobs to keep this thing afloat. The following song has been rated dangerously catchy and may not be suitable for grownups.

Okay. You know, kind of tongue-in-cheek will more a healy bail out the last-ditch bar, honestly. I don't think so, but in this state, I've seen crazier things happen. Okay? So, in other words, really, what's the theme of the show today? The utter insanity craziness of the left and of the Democratic Party. We'll now listen to this. Forget bailing out a crazy lesbian bar or queer bar or whatever it calls itself, that is running on a quote, anti-capitalist model. And basically, you don't have to pay for any drinks and let's homeless people stay there. Okay. So, and they're wondering why they're going out of business. The Democrats are now being very, they're very emboldened.

They look at the polls as things stand right now if you believe the polling. And I just want to make sure everybody knows the polling has been off now the last couple of years. So, I take this with the grain of salt. But if you go just by the polls, the Democrats now are poised to win a majority in the house and yes, a majority in the Senate. They are now convinced to win this at their back, that they are not just going to retake the House of Representatives, but it's going to be a clean sweep. And they will recapture both chambers of commerce, both chambers of the of Congress and that they will then pin Trump down, impeach him, the the fund him, go after many of his cabinet members and essentially reduce his presidency to rubble. And so, as they become more confident, frankly more full of pride, arrogance and hubris, they are becoming even more naked and explicit about what they intend to do.

And one of the things that they are no longer hiding is that they want to make it legal to provide taxpayer benefits, welfare, health care, education, EBT, food stamps, heating, cell phones across the board. In other words, free social services or free government services to illegal aliens. And one of the cases now that has really triggered this is what happened in North Austin, Texas, whereby a Venezuelan illegal alien was shot in the back as he tried to flee and resist arrest from ICE officers. ICE had an order to arrest him to remove him.

He was an illegal alien that came from Venezuela under Joe Biden. He came into the country illegally. He acquired a work permit illegally. He does not have any status or standing to be working in the United States. And as an illegal alien, guess what? He was getting free wealth, free apartment, free housing, free health care. He was getting EBT money. He was getting food stamps on top of doing a side gig as a door dash driver. And when the police tried to, when ICE had a notice to get him because he was been ordered deported by a judge at a deportation hearing, he not only fled the scene, he tried to evade arrest, resist arrest, and he was shot. The sanctuary politicians of Austin, Texas and the media immediately

lied saying that ICE had gunned him down and that they, that the ICE had killed him. That was the first lie. Then they said that ICE pulled them out of the car. And essentially mistreated him and would refuse to give him any medical service. Well, the body cam footage of the police officers on the scene proved decisively, definitively, that was an absolute lie. In fact, they gently took him out of the car. They began to administer treatment on him immediately. An ambulance arrived within five minutes. He was then sent to the local hospital where he got round the clock medical coverage, health care treatment. By the way, that we pay for, not him. We paid for all of that. And then he was sent to an ICE detention center

where they then claimed he was sleeping on the floor. That was another lie. He was pictures. They have cameras there. Picture show. He slept in a nice warm bed. As I said, and the Department of Homeland Security echoed it as well. He got better treatment both in terms of health care, sleeping, food, bed, all basic necessities than American prisoners do in American prisons. So again, it was another hoax and another lie. But what people now are starting to find out because I look, I mean, you look at the video. He drives a beautiful blue Toyota Corolla. I mean, it's a beautiful car. It's new. It's nice. You should see the clothes on him. Beautiful shirt, beautiful shorts. He's got an iPhone where he's actually listening to music as the guy's being arrested. And so how does this guy afford a $2,000 iPhone?

How does this guy afford a beautiful blue Toyota Corolla? How does he afford such nice clothes? Well, when they look into it, it's not making money as door dash driver. It's that every other basic necessity has been provided for and paid for by the taxpayers of Texas. When the state pays your rent and pays your food and pays your health care and puts a several thousand dollars in your pocket or in your bank account every, every single month, then yeah, on top of the door dash gig, you can afford a nice Toyota Corolla and put on some nice threads and get yourself a $2,000 iPhone and go to concerts and games. Most Americans can't but let that go. So now that ICE is expanding their deportations, not just to criminal violent illegal aliens,

gang bangers, drug dealers, traffickers, but now people like this guy from Venezuela, who just were here illegally and there's a deportation order. Now you have sanctuary city mayors and sanctuary, sanctuary governors, Democrats, coming out and saying that this new rule, this public charge rule that Trump is now implementing in which if you're in this country illegally, you are not gonna get any welfare money whatsoever, any taxpayer funded services whatsoever or benefits and that you will be deported because an illegal is an illegal is an illegal. Well, the Democrats now say if they retake Congress and according to the polls they will,

that they're gonna have the votes to ram through a welfare system that will give free taxpayer funded benefits to illegal aliens and this time they're gonna legalize it. Listen now to Zoran Mamdani, the Islamol communist mayor of New York City saying that he's now announcing a lawsuit against the Trump administration because Trump now is rightly saying that you can't give public benefits to people who are applying for a green card. Just because you're applying for a green card doesn't entitle you to any kind of a welfare or a public government service benefit. And so according to him, if you wanna deport illegals for overstaying a visa,

if you wanna deport illegals who should even be in our country or if you now wanna deny them, taxpayer benefits, even though they're not entitled to them, now it's an act of violence and an act of terror. Roll cut five, Mike. The federal government has waged a campaign of violence and terror. Unaccompanied children have been forced to navigate our judicial system alone. ICE has broken into our neighbor's homes, work sites and schools, and it has targeted those who have come to our country in search of refuge and in search of opportunity. These actions are an assault on our civic fabric on our shared values and no matter how much destruction they have already caused, it continues. Just last month, the federal government finalized a set of drastic and unlawful changes to our country's public charge rule, a rule that makes it possible for someone

to be denied immigration status based on the likelihood of their need for public benefits. Yeah, what's the problem? In other words, if you come to this country and you wanna go on welfare, why should we give you a green card or eventually citizenship? That goes against everything America has stood for in terms of immigration since our very founding. In fact, when I came to this country, one of the key stipulations and I agreed with it was, you're not gonna be a public charge to anybody. Mom, are we there yet? 10 more minutes. Only 10 minutes? Can you drive slower? What's up with them today? Lingo KIDS. That app we downloaded last week? They love it. The games, oh, this funny baby-bought character. Kids, we're almost there. No!

Just-in-case, someone tries the door. Just-in-case, I need to wake up fast. It's not fear, it's awareness. And Birdie Box from She's Birdie was made for exactly that. Birdie Box is a portable travel door alarm designed by She's Birdie for hotels, dorms, Airbnb's, and anywhere you're staying away from home.

Okay, just a quick reminder to many of you in Kooner Country, because you keep emailing, asking the Kooner man or texting me, Jeff, I really wanna get on tit for tat. How do I do it? Here's how you do it. You go to I Heart, you download the I Heart radio app, and in the right hand corner, and by the way, that's the best way to listen to the show. So download the I Heart radio app, and then click on the right corner. So microphone right there, and then just letter rip. You can leave a message for me, for Mike, for Sandy. It can be positive, negative, whatever. It's anything goes, and we will play the best ones, as we always do, last segment every single Monday.

On the show Monday, final segment, we will play the best ones. So again, go to the I Heart radio app, download it, and then click on the right hand corner, the microphone, and letter rip. Kooners, talk back, tit for tat. Okay, so President Trump now, finally, and I'm behind him on this, 1,000% is now pushing that if you're in this country and you wanna apply for either a work visa, a green card, citizenship, and you say that you're gonna go on welfare, or you don't have the means to support yourself, and you're either currently on welfare, or you plan to go on welfare, IEB, a public charge, a charge to the public, then no, you're not gonna get your green card, you're not gonna get your citizenship, you're not gonna get your work permit or your work visa,

and if you're any legal, we're gonna find you, and we're gonna deport you. Well, Mamdani, and he's not the only one, Gavin Newsom, the Karen Bass from Los Angeles, Mayor Wu here in Boston, I can right go right down the whole list, many sanctuary city mayors and governors, sanctuary governors, have now issued a lawsuit. They're all joining together in a lawsuit against the Trump administration, saying how dare you try to disqualify people who wanna apply for citizenship, or green cards, or a work visa, if there's a good chance that either they're on welfare, or they plan to be on welfare. Listen now to, this is Mamdani, saying they're going after illegals, they're going after the quote unquote undocumented,

and this is now a campaign as he put it, a violence and terror, and that he will block them, and other sanctuary city politicians will as well. Roll, cut, six, mic. No mistake. This is an undisguised effort to strip New Yorkers of the services they rely on, the public benefits they are entitled to. Families, including those with children who are US citizens, have already begun to forego essential services like SNAP, Medicaid, and affordable housing, out of the fear that if they use these programs, immigration officers could use it as justification to deny them a future in our country. The toll of this new rule cannot be overstated. It is estimated that up to four million people from across the country could unenroll from their healthcare alone, including 1.8 million children. None of this is abstract. People could die.

Look at the fear mongering. Again, with the constant fear mongering. In other words, Trump is going to kill illegals, and especially the children. Now, listen to what he said. He goes, oh, well, some of these children are US citizens. Yeah, they're anchor babies. The parents are illegals. Well, then, well, you know, through the anchor babies, through their illegal, through their children, these illegals then, well, they get SNAP, food stamps, they get Medicare, free health insurance, they get welfare, they get, so we have to pay for illegals. You tell me, how is this fair? How is this not, again, placing an extra burden on American taxpayers and American citizens? And then he's going on about, well, four million people can be kicked off these benefits. Yeah, and what's your point? We're already $40 trillion in the whole.

Do you know how much money we would save if we kicked four million people off of freaking welfare? Do you know how much SNAP costs? Medicaid, welfare, public housing? Our own people don't have enough housing. Our own people, including veterans, are not giving the healthcare treatment that they deserve. Our own people are going hungry. I know because many of you are listeners to the show. Many of you are working, the two jobs and a lot of single women in particular, husbands left them or whatever had an affair and cheated or they just abandoned their responsibilities. And so these brave, courageous women are out there working one even two jobs to try and raise a child, sometimes two children, on their own. And then they say, I go to the government because I need a little bit of help for food on the table and what they give us is $12 freaking a month.

If you're lucky, you get your $12 bucks a month. But the illegals go to market basket and all these other grocery stores, it's cart after cart after cart filled to the brim. This is undeniable. And then this guy is shilling for the illegals because there is voters, that's why. There are the people who put them in power. And so he's like, you're not going to kick them out, you're not going to deport them, you're not going to deny them benefits. Now, for most of our history, and this is why we had such successful immigrants and immigration in general, for example, the Koonerman, I didn't come here to take, I didn't come here to go on welfare or go on snap or go on Medicaid or go on public housing or whatever, get an EBT card. I came here to produce, I came here to work.

I came here to contribute to pay taxes to be a law-biting assimilated citizen, not a freaking parasite or a mulch. And I'm telling you, your parents or grandparents or great grandparents or whatever waves of immigration and immigrants, your families came from, I'm telling you, they came here to work. And to contribute. So let me get this straight. They come into our country illegally, the first crime, then they get on welfare illegally. They commit identity fraud because they got to come up with a fake social security number or a fake driver's license or whatever. That's another crime. And now we owe them welfare. We owe that to them, our hard earned taxpayer money. When we're running $2 trillion deficits,

when we're 40 trillion in the whole, accounting. And according to this guy, this is violence and terror. And the children are gonna starve. Oh my God, if we take it away, oh my God, four million people are gonna lose their benefits. Good. Because what illegal immigration is doing, and by giving them these taxpayer benefits, which for them is free for us, we're paying through the nose. It's bankrupting our healthcare system. It's bankrupting our schools. It's bankrupting and straining our social services. It's a fact. Listen now to Mamdani and the face of this guy, you know, the hootspies, the Jews would say, the cheek on this guy. Oh, they're doing violence to New Yorkers. What do you mean New Yorkers? They're illegals. They're not legitimate citizens. They're not even close to legitimate citizens.

So listen now to Zaron Mamdani, the Muslim socialist. He says he's gonna defy Trump. He's gonna do everything in his power to continue to provide taxpayer funded, welfare benefits and government handouts, to illegals in New York City, and nothing and no one is gonna stop him. Roll cut six B, Mike. Here in New York City, however, cruelty is not how we seek to govern. Immigrants are New Yorkers. And like I said once before, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. That is why today we are confronting this injustice with a solidarity and action that it demands. New York City is leading a coalition of cities and counties, including Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Clara County, and King County, to sue the federal government for the gross illegality of their new public charge rule and the irreparable damage that it will cause.

I just is incredible. They're breaking the law and they're suing the federal government. Again, I go back to that last ditch, Lesbian bar that we were talking about earlier. Up is down, down is up, black is white, white is black. I mean, it's like crazy upon crazy upon crazy. So they're not immigrants, they're illegal aliens. That's point number one. Point number two, unless you're an American citizen, you are not entitled to welfare benefits. Period, full stop. That's illegal. So every welfare check that goes to an illegal alien say in New York City is a crime. Every benefit they accept violates the law. And now that Trump wants to enforce the law and say we're not just gonna go after the violent criminal illegals anymore. We're gonna expand this now. If you're here illegally, we're gonna get you.

We're gonna deport you. If you're here illegally and especially if you're taking government money or public benefits, we're really gonna zero in on you. And no, we're not gonna give you a green card or a visa, never mind citizenship. And so my question to you and in some ways now it is the question facing our country because what the Democrats want is they want to put illegal aliens all 30, 40, 50 million of them on the public goal, on the public charge. They say it is cruel to not give them Medicaid or free public housing or free furniture or a $2,000 credit card every single month or snap or food stamps or free education.

That they are entitled to it, they need it and we owe it to them, that we the taxpayers owe it to these illegals. And now it's time for us to pay and to make it all legal. Should illegal aliens or immigrants to our country who are not citizens, do they have the right to welfare and other government benefits? I say absolutely not. This is economic plunder. This is taking advantage of this country and our generosity. It is unsustainable. It goes against everything America stands for. Self-reliance, personal responsibility, self-help, being a self-reliance, self-reliance, being a true citizen, which means you want to contribute

and that ultimately this will bankrupt this country as sure as anything will bankrupt the country. Again, it's insane. It's insane. Just like that bar was insane. Agree, disagree, 617-266-6868 lines are loaded. Alex in Cambridge. Thanks for holding Alex and welcome. I was just saying, I live in Kooner country or in the Kooner bubble. But I think the message that the Republicans need to get out there is that the Democrats are insane and crazy. I mean, I've been lifting to a anti-papas commercial on your thing. And they don't just have to be a real man. And they don't just, one day say, the Papas is a Democrat, then everybody will know, not to vote for him. And the last thing I want to say, it wasn't brought up,

but Trump got his CNN thing knocked down. That's the funniest thing I have heard of because they are fighting to come back to see Trump. It's like, first Trump's disallowns to come, they're angry. And now they're fighting to come back to be on Trump's team, not team. But so it's sort of like 5D chess. That's what I'm looking at. I mean, Alex, they want to come back to attack him and to denigrate him and to lie and to slander and defame him. That's why. You know, I told you, it's like a crack, you know, a crack addict to crack cocaine. They need him. They for he's their crack cocaine, not to us, the country, but I'm saying to the Democrats and to the media, which by the way is the same thing. The media really is just the Democratic Party press. They're just the communications arm of the Democratic Party. That's it.

That's what you're looking at. They're fake news. And so they need him to hate him. And they don't know what to cover. If they can't hate him, they don't know what to do with themselves. So that's why they're desperate to get back into the White House. Trump says he's going to appeal. I knew the judge was going to shoot it down. Trump is going to appeal, probably take it all the way to Supreme Court. And we'll see what happens. But Alex, I don't want to get off topic. I want to get to your central point, which I think is absolutely spot on. And this is what I want to ask you, because this is what they're now trying to force us, the Democrats and the left. This is what they're trying to force us to accept. If someone breaks into your home illegally, and that's what an illegal alien is, a trust passer, a burglar, a thief, and then squats in your home, again, illegally, living in your home, living in your basement, on your couch,

has a roof over his or her head, probably brings a family with him. They are living off of your fridge. You feed them. They have access to your bank account. So they pay for their snacks, they pay for their television, they pay for their clothes, they pay for their health care, you pay for their schooling. Does a squatter, who is inside your house, do they have a right to your hard earned money? Because what Mamdani and the Democrats are saying is yes. And what I'm saying is not just no, but hell no. What say you, Alex? I agree. Alex, I'm just curious. Liberals, not all, but some of them pay taxes too. I know some liberals who work, you know, not all of them are Bill and Sudbury who sit around collecting welfare

or, you know, or some government hack. I know some of them that work in the private sector and they pay taxes. Don't they want their taxes to go for the roads, for bridges, for buildings, for schools, for hospitals, to pay nurses, to pay teachers, to pay police, to pay firefighters, for basic infrastructure, to keep a welfare social, you know, our social services system solvent. Like in other words, like, you know, or what do they like getting their pocket picked? I mean, this is what I'd understand about these liberals. Why would they vote for a party and for candidates? And in this case, the mayor, who literally wants to steal their money to give it to people who are essentially parasites sitting around all day collecting government benefits and who have no business being here. They're not American. Alex, do you have a theory on that?

There was a self-hate thing and, you know, the desire to, you know, themselves, you know, something empathy I'd read about. And suicidal empathy. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, yeah, that's a, I love that phrase because I think it's so accurate. It is suicidal empathy. Interesting. Interesting. Alex, thank you very much for that call. You know, it's cheap, cheap virtue signaling. And, you know, it's what's called suicidal empathy. You know, oh, I'm being so, I'm so compassionate. Oh, look at the empathy that I'm radiating. Look, look, I'm giving you all my money. Look, look, oh, I'm giving it to all these illegal, so-called marginalized people. Oh, oh, many of them come from third world countries. Oh, look at this. Aren't they such a good decent person? Please take all of it.

Take all my money. Take it all. Here's my wallet. Take it. And what you're really doing is you're committing economic and really national suicide. Phil in Salem. Thanks for holding Phil and welcome. Jeff, your favorite relations. Hey Phil, how are you, my friend? Going well, listen, in 1918, when my grandfather came from what was known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he and today, Israel Peninsula of Croatia, he could not take any federal or state or city assistance based on an 1882 immigration act. Not only that, he had to show that he was gains we employed, showing a paycheck stuff at the police station every week. Now, that law is on the books that you cannot take federal, state or city aid as an immigrant, legal or illegal. And so I'm begging the question, how do they intend to sue a law?

That it was on the book. It hasn't been enforced, but that doesn't make it jurisprudence. So the fact is because President Trump has decided to enforce it based on the 14th amendment, all laws being equal and should be enforced equally, how are you going to sue a law? I would love to ask, Mandami, on public television, how are you going to sue a law? You see Phil as a fellow Croatian American, I can see how intelligent you are, you know? I mean, you just know you're absolutely correct. I mean, on every, it's like, checkmate. I mean, that's what I, the goal of this guy, to sue, you're suing the federal government for upholding the law. This is it. So the feds are upholding the law and you're suing them. And he's, Mandami is behaving illegally. But on all these sanctuary city mayors and these sanctuary governance, it's all illegal. What they're doing is illegal, but you're going to sue the feds.

Phil, this is all about playing to their base. And it's there to get them to vote. They want to win in November so bad. It's essentially a bribe. He's telling the illegals, go out and vote, vote early, vote often. And we're going to ram through a change in the law. And we're going to make it legal for all of you to collect federal, state, or local, aid, social services and welfare. They're going to bribe them with our money. And what your grandfather, God bless him understood is what I understand. You can't have a country if you're just going to give away welfare benefits to immigrants, whether legal or illegal, because you know, you're going to have tens and tens of millions of people on the doll.
