This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
00:00:39.620
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
00:00:46.240
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
00:00:50.580
After several delays, some migrants are evicted from city-run shelters.
00:00:54.620
It's part of Chicago's new 60-day limit on shelter stays.
00:00:58.200
But earlier this week, the city issued thousands of exemptions to migrant families with children.
00:01:03.300
The Supreme Court will weigh whether the government crossed a constitutional line
00:01:06.560
by pressuring social media platforms to take down content it deemed misleading
00:01:11.320
on topics like COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election.
00:01:15.320
Donald Trump has a history of this dark, violent, dangerous rhetoric.
00:01:20.040
And we already saw the result of what happens when he uses that rhetoric.
00:01:25.220
Even though every single Republican that is asked is going to try to spin it and pretend
00:01:30.500
that it really had nothing to do with a real bloodbath,
00:01:34.080
his cult MAGA supporters and followers totally know exactly what he was telling them.
00:01:45.460
And these idiots on Twitter, these idiots on cable news, these idiots on Sunday shows going,
00:01:53.720
where are you, the president, you know, he was talking only about the auto industry.
00:02:10.540
34% of the automobile manufacturing business in our country.
00:02:17.900
China now is building a couple of massive plants
00:02:21.100
where they're going to build the cars in Mexico
00:02:23.240
and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States
00:02:31.500
We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line.
00:02:36.580
And you're not going to be able to sell those cars.
00:02:40.560
Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath.
00:02:44.500
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:03.860
So I took the day off of social media yesterday.
00:03:14.760
And I kind of had already seen how this played out.
00:03:17.180
Saturday night, President Trump used the word bloodbath
00:03:20.020
to describe a situation with the auto industry.
00:03:25.900
But what I looked at this morning when I went to catch back up was how the right responded
00:03:54.280
Are you going to sit up there and continue complaining and whining about the fact,
00:04:14.040
Stop complaining and stop whining and stop crying about it on Fox News.
00:04:19.720
And oh, by the way, I saw as well that there were Republicans.
00:04:24.120
And I went through Republicans who went on mainstream media, all the morning shows, ABC,
00:04:33.480
And the Republicans who went up there didn't push back.
00:04:38.120
And in fact, you even had Senator Mike Rounds go up there from Ruby Red, South Dakota, went
00:04:45.220
on the Sunday shows and distanced himself from President Trump's comments.
00:04:53.400
This type of mentality, this type of mentality that says we have to play by the rules that
00:04:59.680
the left sets for us, but never holds themselves to.
00:05:06.360
Then the other thing you did was completely, completely surrender the narrative to the left
00:05:19.040
You're going to sit there and complain about double standards and not do anything to drive
00:05:25.800
Wow, just like that, the mainstream media got the entire right to stop talking about
00:05:36.360
You are acting like controlled opposition and you need to wake up and you don't have
00:05:45.660
You got Supreme Court justices up there right now saying that we need to censor, they were
00:05:49.940
perfectly fine to censor social media during a pandemic, a once in a lifetime pandemic.
00:05:57.760
But no, no, you've got Republicans that don't seem like it's interesting to them to actually
00:06:03.860
fight back, put points on the board and go on offense.
00:06:09.560
Let's talk about what the Democrats have done in every major city in America every single
00:06:18.260
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best ways that you can support us here at Human Events

00:06:58.860
I want to tell you guys about today's sponsor for the show, Allegiance Gold.
00:07:02.820
If you're part of the Human Events Daily audience, you know exactly what's going on with the
00:07:08.160
And Vladimir Putin said it himself during the Tucker Carlson interview that was seen over
00:07:16.420
And the weaponization of the U.S. dollar was a catastrophic mistake.
00:07:21.280
The consequences of overprinting could be catastrophic for your family's future with
00:07:26.000
401k accounts losing 25% of their value the past two to three years.
00:07:33.700
Why would you continue to risk your personal savings?
00:07:39.800
Invest in the one thing that's been proven stable for centuries, gold.
00:07:44.000
From the company that I trust, Allegiance Gold.
00:07:50.100
Well, their relationships are based on integrity, expertise, and impeccable service.

00:08:18.160
Very excited to welcome here in studio with us live and in person, very honored, of course,
00:08:29.600
Roger, I was just talking about the Republican response, and I've actually been very critical
00:08:35.080
of the Republican response to this bloodbath hoax, this bloodbath out-of-context statement
00:08:46.220
And here's my point is, I think that the Republicans have forgotten how to go on offense, and they're
00:08:52.400
spending all of their time, and they're doing a good job, I guess, of pushing back a little
00:08:56.540
and say, oh, that president's comments were taken out of context.
00:08:58.760
But they're spending all their time doing that and not spending any time pushing their own
00:09:08.180
And most importantly, they've also completely overlooked the fact that this distraction was
00:09:13.720
done because Trump was the one who actually exposed this crooked deal between China and
00:09:19.860
Mexico for the auto parts and the EVs that's being done south of the border.
00:09:25.220
Do Republicans understand that we only have a few months left in order to push this across?
00:09:31.860
What would be the better way to do this in a political campaign?
00:09:34.640
Well, in all honesty, though, this is what Nancy Pelosi openly calls the wrap-up smear.
00:09:39.980
Where you create a falsehood, you get the mainstream media to report it, then you point to that
00:09:46.140
story as certification that the charge is true.
00:09:52.580
The Russian collusion hoax, the Steele dossier, the Russians hacked the DNC, which never happened.
00:10:00.540
Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation.
00:10:04.000
Donald Trump wants us to drink bleach or inject bleach to address COVID.
00:10:10.720
Trump was keeping the nuclear codes at Mar-a-Lago and he was going to sell them to the Russians
00:10:22.680
One, they no longer have monolithic control of all mass communications in the United States.
00:10:28.700
Largely, we can thank not only Elon Musk, but independent outlets like Real America's Voice
00:10:34.640
and others for that, but secondarily, people are kind of on, they're on to their whole fundamental
00:10:45.240
So, look, I am one of those who believes that you can't let any charge go unanswered.
00:10:50.780
And therefore, yes, I think those who are key supporters of the president, whether they
00:10:56.660
be influencers, whether they be elected officials, whether they be party officials, do need to
00:11:02.520
counterpunch on the fact that this vote was taken completely out of context.
00:11:07.400
But then you have to swift right back to offense as soon as possible.
00:11:14.220
Go to Bidenomics.com, which the Biden people weren't smart enough to buy, and you'll get
00:11:21.560
the truth about how fragile our current economy is.
00:11:26.540
Are you saying that you've purchased or someone has purchased Bidenomics.com and is now set
00:11:32.160
up the actual truth about the Biden economy on Bidenomics.com?
00:11:38.360
It is an excellent expose of how fragile and disastrous the economic policies of Joe Biden
00:11:48.280
All of these numbers, the stock numbers, the stock market numbers are misinterpreted.
00:11:54.400
The unemployment and inflation numbers are manipulated.
00:11:58.440
And the proof of this are the low approval ratings for Joe Biden.
00:12:02.700
If people really had consumer confidence, if they were really optimistic about the economic
00:12:08.860
future of themselves and their families, well, it would be reflected in his approval ratings.
00:12:17.380
And trotting out all of these phony arguments isn't going to help.
00:12:21.540
We should be pounding on the Biden energy policies, which have not only forced us back to begging
00:12:30.580
Venezuela and the Saudis and others for oil, it's also because we can get oil that has a much higher
00:12:44.940
Therefore, that's getting passed on to the consumers in gasoline prices.
00:12:49.840
At the same time, we're enriching the Russians who have oil to sell.
00:12:54.760
And we're re-empowering Iran because we took the sanctions off of them and they are back
00:13:03.720
These are the things we should be talking about, not whether Donald Trump was cheap shotted when
00:13:08.740
he made a reference to a bloodbath, which if you even go to the basic dictionary, the third
00:13:14.700
definition is an economic definition of a disaster within a specific economic sector.
00:13:25.540
And Roger, on the fact of it too, it also shows, and I worry, that a lot of people on
00:13:31.660
the right, and of course, we love the fact that there are more people willing to call
00:13:36.580
Any person who's willing to do that is a friend of mine.
00:13:39.020
But the other side of it is we also cannot get distracted.
00:13:47.520
We shouldn't be distracted from our talking points.
00:13:49.440
And the fact of the matter is, Donald Trump, I think, as far as I know, is the only Republican
00:13:54.580
in America who's willing to talk about these crooked trade deals between China, Mexico,
00:14:03.040
the car dealerships, the electronic vehicles, the EV mandate that Biden has put down.
00:14:07.140
This is becoming a huge issue, of course, in Michigan, a huge issue as well in Wisconsin
00:14:12.180
But it's also something where when he says, I will slap a 100% tariff on those cars crossing
00:14:20.180
the border, that's something that the Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to hear either.
00:14:24.140
Yeah, I do think to a certain extent, you have to recognize that this new attack on Trump,
00:14:29.720
taking his remarks out of context, trying to make it sound like he was calling for violence
00:14:34.160
when that's specifically not what he was doing, are also born out of frustration.
00:14:39.940
Anybody who read the proceedings in the Florida documents case last week has to come away
00:14:48.220
with the interpretation that while the judge did not seem to be impressed with the Presidential
00:14:54.140
Records Act defense, she did seem to be interested in the selective prosecution defense, i.e.
00:15:04.280
Joe Biden, based on the special counsel's report, willfully and illegally retained documents
00:15:11.600
from his time as vice president and U.S. senator in violation of law, but he's not being prosecuted.
00:15:17.920
Donald Trump, the government argues, did the same thing.
00:15:23.860
But nonetheless, he's being prosecuted for the same crime.
00:15:27.540
And hers report could then come up in that actual case as an example to speaking to this
00:15:36.300
On the other hand, if she were just theoretically to dismiss the case tomorrow, then Trump loses
00:15:43.620
the venue to make the very strong argument that Jack Smith's appointment is illegal and
00:15:52.000
Essentially, the argument made by former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese and two law school
00:15:59.180
professors who are not Trump supporters, but have, I think, a very strong argument.
00:16:05.820
Trump has filed that motion, or Trump's lawyers have, in Florida, but they need to flesh it out
00:16:14.700
The left, meaning Andrew Weissman, Neil Keitel, Norm Eisen, these guys will go out of their
00:16:22.060
minds if, and I don't know that this will happen, but if the judge in Florida, Eileen
00:16:28.740
Cannon, dismisses the case against Donald Trump on selective prosecution grounds.
00:16:34.320
And so this is a key, well, you say Neil Eisen and all of these types, and I always tell people
00:16:41.600
that, who do I pay attention to on the left, and who are my, you know, who are your favorite
00:16:48.700
These guys are the brain trust of the left, and you and I talked about this almost six
00:16:54.000
months ago when they were talking about stripping Trump off the ballot.
00:17:03.240
So what they are saying today is an indication of the machinations and the lawfare that we will
00:17:10.960
Weissman, obviously the man who engineered my indictment after not finding any evidence
00:17:16.620
of Russian collusion or WikiLeaks collaboration or any other crime, they hooked up process crimes
00:17:22.740
in order to get, in order to pressure me to offer false testimony against Donald Trump,
00:17:30.100
Those guys are the architects, the architects of the two impeachments, they're the architects
00:17:37.840
of Russian collusion, they're the architects of this bloodbath assault yesterday, they're
00:17:45.000
the architects of the tsunami of lawfare against Donald Trump.
00:17:49.260
If you follow it, once Trump had the documents case, which was clearly planned by the National
00:17:57.540
Archives working with the Biden White House, filed against him, but by the luck of the draw,
00:18:04.600
he got Eileen Cannon, a fair judge, happened to be a Trump appointee.
00:18:10.000
It was then and only then that they decided to file charges against him in D.C.
00:18:15.240
Well, Andrew Weissman predicted that, he actually called for it just before it happened.
00:18:26.260
I have to think about when the last time you and I have been in studio together for a show
00:18:35.180
You talk about influences, these are influences and they're friends of mine, Jack Prusovic.
00:18:43.960
Jack Prusovic back live here, West Palm Beach, Florida, down on business.
00:18:54.060
Folks, got to tell you though, the world in flames.
00:18:56.700
Bidenomics, a complete and total disaster, but it cannot and it will not ruin my day.
00:19:01.220
That's because I start every day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.
00:19:05.040
Yes, even when on location, we know that blackout coffee is 100% America, 100% committed to
00:19:11.340
conservative values, from sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support and
00:19:15.360
shipping, they embody true American values and accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:19:20.560
Yes, even down here, we got Tanya Tay, we brought the blackout coffee.
00:19:24.140
She's making it every morning, it powers me, powers the show, powers the work.
00:19:28.760

00:19:47.080
Roger, we've got Roger Stone in the studio with us, I want to play this clip for you
00:19:51.840
that just came out of the Supreme Court just this morning, Kataji Brown Jackson, there's
00:19:56.880
this case going on regarding the state of Missouri and they've sued regarding the coercion of
00:20:03.000
social media platforms during COVID-19 or using COVID-19 as a premise, the federal government
00:20:09.080
going to these agencies, listen to Kataji Brown Jackson's, it's not even a question,
00:20:18.780
So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government
00:20:25.280
in significant ways in the most important time periods.
00:20:33.580
I've heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech, but in
00:20:38.160
my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don't do it, is not going to get it
00:20:44.340
And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect
00:20:55.180
And you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging
00:21:00.940
or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.
00:21:06.180
So can you help me, because I'm really worried about that, because you've got the First Amendment
00:21:12.900
operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective,
00:21:19.320
and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems.
00:21:25.440
And Your Honor, I understand that incident, and I guess what I'd tell you is...
00:21:28.960
Roger, that's a Supreme Court Justice, Katante Brown Jackson, appointed by Joe Biden, confirmed
00:21:37.920
by the Senate, saying that the First Amendment hamstrings the government in important times.
00:21:44.600
She mentions COVID-19 as a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.
00:21:49.280
She says, the government's adding their speech by telling people their basic safety guidelines
00:21:55.280
isn't enough, that the government must come in to protect the citizens.
00:21:59.720
And then she adds, especially at a time when there is so much threatening misinformation that's
00:22:08.420
I don't think we should be surprised how she's going to rule on this one, but let's just take
00:22:16.620
What does it mean that we have someone on the Supreme Court that's espousing these beliefs?
00:22:22.300
I mean, this is the same woman who, as a nominee to the court, couldn't define what a woman was.
00:22:30.600
What's amazing is her view is that the government and the government's needs are paramount to the
00:22:39.360
There's a reason they call this the First Amendment.
00:22:47.180
So then secondarily is this idea that it's not enough for the government just to put out
00:22:53.600
their narrative, but everything else is kind of deemed disinformation.
00:22:59.360
Who is to say that the views of Jack Posobiec on any given topic or anyone else for that matter,
00:23:06.760
Who is the arbiter of what's true and what's false?
00:23:11.080
If we allow that that's the government, well then we're going to be lied to a lot.
00:23:19.900
Maybe the most important case to come before the court, other than perhaps the immunity
00:23:28.720
And I'd like to thank the Human Events team in there for getting the clips and just kind
00:23:34.780
of going through, parsing through some of these arguments and pulling this out.
00:23:37.820
But again, Jackson over and over saying that she's nudging them back to these concessions,
00:23:44.140
that if there was coercion, that there might be a First Amendment violation.
00:23:48.640
But saying that it's allowable, an allowable violation because of the once in a lifetime
00:23:57.140
And it sounds like she's trying to get back to this yelling fire in a crowded theater,
00:24:02.520
falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater argument that the government can come in, in the name
00:24:09.860
It's always done in the name of protection in order to censor free speech.
00:24:13.460
Well, Lincoln did suspend habeas corpus of that section of the Constitution during World
00:24:25.220
Well, there were some civil liberties violations during World War II as well, if I'm sure that's
00:24:34.580
The point, of course, is that these people see government as supreme.
00:24:39.220
And as far as proclaiming that this was a one-time event.
00:24:46.900
I don't think they plan it to be a one-time event.
00:24:49.780
So look, this is a crucial ruling, but they are the party of censorship, of cancellation,
00:24:59.280
of shadow banning, of attempting to control the narrative, not only for election purposes,
00:25:06.040
but in terms of getting control of the American people.
00:25:11.980
And I think there's no question that this will certainly come into play, not only for...
00:25:18.300
Not only for the future and for this case, but also for the election writ large.
00:25:27.420
I did one with you and General Flynn and Alex Jones.
00:25:33.860
We did one of those where it was Jones and a whole cavalcade of circus folk came on, let's
00:25:45.740
I did one with myself, and then Elon Musk himself hops on.
00:25:50.060
This is the one where Vivek Ramaswamy forgot to put himself on mute, and it was the livestream
00:25:57.800
And I had the opportunity, though, to ask Musk this very question.
00:26:01.120
I said, that's all well and good that you are willing to push back on censorship that
00:26:06.620
took place in 2020, but what are you to do if the FBI or the powers that be come to you
00:26:13.180
now and ask you to censor public and lawful information?
00:26:17.120
I mean, we're not talking about sharing phone numbers and bank records and addresses and
00:26:21.080
this type of thing, but lawful public information.
00:26:27.260
He would ask them to present a wallet, a warrant.
00:26:30.240
And then finally said, I would be willing to go to jail rather than actually take something
00:26:36.020
Do you think we can take him at his word or do you think that's basically the most he's
00:26:41.880
Look, who was the first person who was out there to debunk the so-called blood bath
00:26:50.060
He was probably the single most effective person, also with the largest following on
00:26:58.500
Joe Scarborough posted some crazy post on X claiming that Trump was calling for violence
00:27:05.740
and Elon essentially shamed him into taking it down.
00:27:11.720
In fact, I shudder to think what this skirmish would have been like this weekend over the
00:27:17.660
blood bath video if X were not in operation, if there was no truth social, if Telegram didn't
00:27:25.280
still exist, if there weren't outlets like, well, Real America's Voice.
00:27:32.280
They're hysterical because they're losing their monopoly on mass communications and only with
00:27:41.720
the monopoly on mass communications can they fool the people.
00:27:46.280
Tough to tell people who actually see the price of gasoline that gasoline is low.
00:27:52.520
Tough to tell people who are getting grocery bills that they're having to go to, you know,
00:28:00.400
buy now, pay later or put on a credit card, groceries, then everything's really going
00:28:06.520
We have the highest credit card debt that we've ever had as a nation, right now.
00:28:08.520
Well, but we're also finding that 67% of grocery purchases are being put on these pay now, buy
00:28:25.520
So as we're looking forward to it, do you believe that the advent of this alternative
00:28:31.800
media has, do you think it's moved the needle enough to have an effect directly on the election
00:28:38.720
or still there are too many people or, you know, you're still kind of stuck in that old
00:28:46.300
I think the move of Tucker Carlson from cable television, where he had a very large audience,
00:28:53.300
but perhaps an older audience to over to X, where he has now many, many, many, many more
00:29:01.300
viewers skewing a little lower, demonstrates the power of the new media.
00:29:11.300
They can't silence anyone who disagrees with them.
00:29:15.300
Well, Trump is leading in all the polls today for some reason.
00:29:19.300
It means voters are seeing through the false narrative of January 6th.
00:29:23.300
They're seeing through the false narrative of the so-called documents that he retained.
00:29:32.300
They certainly saw through the case in New York where they literally seek to strip him
00:29:37.300
from his wealth and now put a price tag on the appeal bonds that are so high that it prevents him
00:29:44.300
from appealing an egregious decision made by a judge who says he was guilty before the trial even started.
00:29:51.300
The American people are fair and, frankly, even the mainstream media has had to cover those aspects of the trial.
00:30:03.300
Whether we've reached critical mass or not remains to be seen.
00:30:09.300
And that really is the big question because I'll get these media push-pulls every once in a while
00:30:14.300
saying 60% of Americans believe that Trump should stand trial and 70% of Americans say they won't vote for Trump if he's convicted.
00:30:22.300
And then I look at the actual Trump polls and it doesn't reflect these other artificial media polls that are coming in.
00:30:31.300
But when we're back, I really need to get you to weigh in on, I think, the billion dollar question that is among us.
00:30:38.300
President Trump is running, but he's not going to be running alone.
00:30:42.300
And in all of this fight, the president, as all presidents do on their tickets, needs a wingman, perhaps a wing woman.
00:31:06.300
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad.
00:31:09.300
And these are the guys should be getting Pulisic.
00:31:11.300
All right, Jack Posobiec back live West Palm Beach.
00:31:20.300
Any questions you want for Roger, throw them in in the comments.
00:31:25.300
My biggest question, Roger, the president of the United States, anyone who wants to be president of the United States, I should say, runs but does not run alone.
00:31:34.300
We know that the RNC will be coming up very soon with the primary closed, the convention looming.
00:31:41.300
This is typically the time when the VP process, the VP stakes, as it were, kicks off.
00:31:50.300
We've heard the president go through a number of iterations saying, well, perhaps he's looking at a woman, perhaps looking at an African American.
00:31:58.300
Most recently, we've seen reporting from NBC saying that he perhaps is looking for a candidate who isn't as hard line on the abortion question.
00:32:07.300
Obviously, something that Biden and the Democrats want to use to catalyze the election, given Alabama's recent ruling on IVF and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:32:16.300
That all said, who are you, if you're able to reveal, are hearing are on the short list?
00:32:23.300
And out of that, are there any that seem to have caught your eye?
00:32:26.300
Well, first of all, I think there's a couple of criteria here.
00:32:29.300
First and foremost, the president needs to pick an individual who actually has the experience, the judgment, the temperament to credibly be seen as voters by voters to actually be president.
00:32:42.300
Secondarily, I think he needs someone who, if God forbid anything happen to President Trump, would continue the America first agenda, the MAGA agenda.
00:32:55.300
Then you can start looking at political considerations.
00:33:01.300
Former President Nixon specifically told me that when looking for a running mate for vice president, don't look for someone who can help you.
00:33:20.300
If that were true, then perhaps you'd go to Dr. Ben Carson or someone who would be reassuring to the base, but probably would not get you any votes you don't already have.
00:33:32.300
The other possibility is to look at the polls and say that Trump is below 50 everywhere, even though he's leading Biden.
00:33:42.300
Generally speaking, he's just below 50 and he needs some new votes.
00:33:47.300
So if you look at the three voter groups where he clearly can make additional ground, they are African Americans, Hispanic Americans and women.
00:33:58.300
He's already made substantial gains among Hispanic American voters.
00:34:02.300
It's interesting that most of those gains have been among Spanish speaking voters who get their news in English rather than Spanish speaking voters who get their news in Spanish.
00:34:14.300
There's a strategic piece of advice there in terms of where to advertise to make gains among Hispanics.
00:34:21.300
I would argue that the candidate who's getting you more African American votes is Donald Trump.
00:34:28.300
Trump is the one who it is not only the persecution of Trump, which is a small part of this, but also economic issues driving it, not to mention his record on criminal justice reform,
00:34:40.300
which frankly, I don't think he talked enough about in 2020 and he should talk more about in the upcoming campaign.
00:34:47.300
Also, I would argue that among Hispanic Americans, since there is no kind of obvious Hispanic Republican who would have to be outside of Florida because of the 12th Amendment,
00:34:59.300
there is no logical Hispanic American candidate in the party.
00:35:04.300
But Trump is already breaking 50% among Hispanics, which is historic.
00:35:09.300
Therefore, I argue that where we really need to make gains, and this has been true since 2016, is among women.
00:35:17.300
Now, I obviously have, I'm not endorsing any candidate and not making a recommendation to the president,
00:35:25.300
but I have been intrigued by the possibility of Tulsi Gabbard.
00:35:30.300
And this has gotten quite a reaction, both positive and negative.
00:35:36.300
She's a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
00:35:40.300
She's a combat veteran of both Iraq and Kuwait.
00:35:44.300
She's a former Democrat where we need to win some Democrats.
00:35:48.300
She's on the key issues of war, the Second Amendment, abortion, and the border.
00:36:01.300
Well, Bernie Sanders was the anti-war candidate in a race against Hillary Clinton.
00:36:09.300
She's been a very articulate defender of President Trump in the entire issue of the weaponization of criminal justice.
00:36:20.300
I think she would have an appeal both to women and to millennials.
00:36:26.300
I don't know what the president is going to do.
00:36:32.300
I don't get the impression that he's in a hurry to make this decision.
00:36:42.300
But right now, I don't get the instinct that there is necessarily a front runner.
00:36:49.300
You know, Tulsi Gabbard, when she was still a congresswoman, even long before Trump had ever announced and was, you know, she was still working in the House.
00:37:00.300
I remember her specifically catching my eye by 2013, 2014 for being one of the only Democrats, really only people in Washington willing, number one, because ISIS was a huge issue at the time.
00:37:12.300
She was one of the only people to actually use the phrase radical Islam and talk about what it was as a threat that the United States was facing.
00:37:20.300
It wasn't the lack of democracy in Syria or the lack of democracy in Iraq.
00:37:24.300
It was a specific threat that could be tailored to a specific operation.
00:37:30.300
And then number two, obviously, was the border, a completely out of control border situation.
00:37:34.300
And I remember thinking, who is this this Democrat who's willing to actually talk about these issues more so than the people in our own party in many cases?
00:37:44.300
That's also part of my part of my anxiety or I guess disdain a little bit.
00:37:51.300
Maybe that sustains a bit hard, but part of my issue with the Republicans yesterday going on the talk shows was that they spent the entire time talking about the phrase bloodbath.
00:38:02.300
Rather than actually putting forward talking points of our own.
00:38:06.300
Yeah, no, I think they need to shift back to immigration, which is the number one issue in the country and the impact in terms of crime, drugs, fentanyl, obviously, and also the fiscal crisis that it's causing for cities and counties and states.
00:38:24.300
But I also look weighing against her is the fact that on impeachment.
00:38:33.300
I still think politics is about addition, not subtraction.
00:38:39.300
Therefore, you need a candidate who can bring you some new voters.
00:38:43.300
Would that be your same answer to the fact that she did after dropping out of the 2020 race endorse Biden?
00:38:51.300
I think he's got to explain that, but it's pretty simple.
00:38:54.300
Biden didn't turn out to be anything that we thought he was.
00:38:56.300
Remember, he was talking about bringing civility back to government.
00:39:01.300
He's been talking about steering a more moderate course.
00:39:08.300
So, and there's a bunch of voters out there who voted for Joe Biden last time, but we need to vote for Donald Trump this time.
00:39:19.300
I think she can speak directly to those voters.
00:39:24.300
I think it would be foolish for anyone to discuss the VP race without talking about her.
00:39:29.300
But as you say, we've got a lot of time between now and the convention.
00:39:35.300
This has got to be one of the presidential campaigns that's been, or the primaries that's been locked up as fast as possible that I've ever seen.
00:39:44.300
This is not one of those shootouts that's going all the way to Indiana, like we saw with Ted Cruz.
00:39:49.300
This is definitely not going to a brokered convention, much the chagrin of many.
00:39:54.300
But instead, it looks as though President Trump is in all but name locked up the presidential nomination.
00:40:00.300
And so he himself has the time to really look at these.
00:40:04.300
And I expect that his vetting process, I expect that he's going to look out there to see who's defending him the most in the media, who's actually taking a stand, who's putting points on the board.
00:40:14.300
And that as well fits those criteria that you mentioned.
00:40:17.300
And I think that someone who can, who can step up and lead on day one is something that actually is very important to him.
00:40:23.300
And while so many people focus on the electability question, that's another thing that he looks at as well.
00:40:28.300
We've got about one minute to the break, Roger.
00:40:30.300
I'll say what I won't, I think we will not see.
00:40:34.300
I think you will not see him pick some neocon to satisfy those in the Republican Party who are never for him and are not for him today.
00:40:42.300
I think you will find him picking someone who is solid on the major issues of war, the Second Amendment, abortion and the border and the deep state.
00:40:59.300
Obviously, there's a lot of room in the Republican Party for many issues.
00:41:02.300
But those, safety, economy, that's absolutely clear.
00:41:07.300
Coming back here, Roger Stone live, West Palm Beach.
00:41:13.300
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:41:16.300
All right, Jack Posobiec back live here, West Palm Beach.
00:41:21.300
Roger, one of the questions, by the way, I've got to tell you, the chat is, half the chat is up in arms against you.
00:41:28.300
Half the chat is up in arms with you on the Tulsi Gabbard question.
00:41:33.300
Some people saying, no, no, give her the VA or something.
00:41:36.300
The other half saying, I'd love to see Tulsi in a cage fight against cackling Harris yet again.
00:41:43.300
Anybody who watches that debate, she destroyed Kamala Harris in the debate.
00:41:49.300
I mean, one thing that could be said about Ben Carson, Vivek Ramaswamy, or Tulsi Gabbard, they've all run for president before.
00:42:00.300
They have a much better idea of how the fake news media is trying to trip you up from day one and embarrass you.
00:42:06.300
And surefootedness, again, speaks back to that idea that you choose someone who will do no harm.
00:42:13.300
I'm interested in creative ways to bring in more votes.
00:42:23.300
And I'll be for whoever Donald Trump selects, but I don't think that's going to happen tomorrow.
00:42:28.300
Now, you mentioned the 12th Amendment regarding presidential, this idea of the two candidates being from the same state.
00:42:36.300
That's not something a lot of people understand.
00:42:38.300
I know it came up once with Bush and Cheney because at the time of their running, I think they were both registered out of Texas.
00:42:44.300
And then Cheney changes his residence to avoid the question back to Wyoming, which he had actually represented.
00:42:50.300
So what is the constitutional requirement there?
00:42:53.300
So the 12th Amendment of the Constitution holds that in the Electoral College, the candidate for president and vice president cannot be from the same state unless it is permissible.
00:43:08.300
But if that if you do that, then and you carry the state, in this case, Florida, you would forfeit the Electoral College votes of that state.
00:43:17.300
Well, the Republicans cannot afford to do that.
00:43:23.300
People kept saying, oh, Trump DeSantis is the perfect ticket.
00:43:27.300
That's how we that's how we resolve our inner family fight.
00:43:30.300
Well, that couldn't happen because both of them are legal residents of Florida.
00:43:35.300
Same reason you can't have Donald Trump and Congressman Byron Donalds, who I like very much.
00:43:42.300
Roger, one of the reasons, by the way, that I'm in town and it's been great to be able to see you and spend some time with you,
00:43:47.300
is that we have this Catholics for Catholics event.
00:43:50.300
But it's really turning into a national prayer rally for President Trump tomorrow night, Mar-a-Lago.
00:43:58.300
You, myself, Jim Caviezel, Tim Ballard, Michael Knowles will be stopping by.
00:44:10.300
Why is it important that we are holding this event to pray for the president?
00:44:16.300
And of course, General Flynn, I hope you were remiss not to mention that.
00:44:18.300
Look, because I think prayer is an essential part of our victory strategy.
00:44:23.300
You know, when I went through the Mueller investigation, I hit rock bottom before I finally returned to the Lord and was redeemed in the blood of the cross.
00:44:37.300
I think it was a long time ago when my great-grandson was born.
00:44:45.300
So the people on Twitter say, oh, Stone's not a good Catholic.
00:44:50.300
30 years ago, as a libertarian, I thought, well, the government should not tell a woman what they can do with their body.
00:44:55.300
By the way, so is the Catholic president right now as pro-choice.
00:45:00.300
I don't recall much of the Catholic establishment being upset with him.
00:45:08.300
I don't quite understand this entire attack on us as Christian nationalists.
00:45:16.300
We believe in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
00:45:26.300
We love our country, and we think it was founded on Christian values.
00:45:34.300
But they make it sound like that means you're some kind of terrorist or some kind of radical.
00:45:43.300
They're the ones who are outside of the mainstream.
00:45:50.300
And folks can get more information and see us there.
00:45:57.300
Anyone wants to check it out, we will be there tomorrow night.
00:46:00.300
We'll definitely get video of that for the Real America's audience.
00:46:02.300
Go make sure you check out Roger Stone in the Stone Zone every single day.
00:46:08.300
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, if you have my permission, I'll lay ashore.
