00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:05.380 It's great to have you with us today, folks.
00:00:07.180 Our guest today is the great Roger Stone, weekly guest here on The Great America Show,
00:00:11.900 great American, host of the Stone Zone podcast.
00:00:15.300 You catch him each and every night on Rumble or thestonezone.com.
00:00:19.460 Roger, it's great to have you.
00:00:21.120 I feel like I say this every single week.
00:00:22.620 It's great to have you back with us on The Great America Show.
00:00:25.480 I sometimes often think that we're going to run out of things to talk about, but it
00:00:29.860 seems we're just getting started.
00:00:31.660 President Trump yesterday at the New York Stock Exchange ringing in the bell.
00:00:35.880 I mean, everything's so monumental.
00:00:37.660 Time magazine, person of the year, Roger.
00:00:39.640 The thing that just keeps coming to my mind, and I tweeted this out because it's so, I
00:00:43.660 think, relevant as to right now.
00:00:46.120 The folks who called him Hitler, Roger, for the last nine years, for the last six years,
00:00:50.100 the last four years, are now the same ones parading him as a hero.
00:00:54.440 Mark Zuckerberg giving him a million bucks.
00:00:56.200 Do you think they really believed he was Hitler, or do you think they were just catering to
00:01:01.100 a Marxist audience of people who wanted to hear that?
00:01:04.820 Well, first of all, Zuckerberg is $449 million, because that's what he spent to heist the 2020
00:01:13.420 election. 0.93
00:01:14.300 And nobody should be fooled by these Silicon Valley corporate media frauds who are now sucking
00:01:22.240 up to the man they tried desperately to destroy.
00:01:26.440 But look, we are entering the age of Trump.
00:01:29.920 When they put him back on Time magazine, the only previous president, and he opens the stock exchange,
00:01:37.580 the only previous president having done so being the great Ronald Reagan, because he has
00:01:42.620 such confidence in the Trumpified economy.
00:01:47.460 And this is not like it's pie in the sky.
00:01:50.160 He proved in his first term that he knew how to build what was up until that time the most
00:01:56.360 robust economy we had ever had.
00:01:58.960 And he can do it again.
00:02:00.760 And this has caused a new optimism in the country.
00:02:06.360 I mean, what a great time to be alive, where you can actually see not only us destroy the
00:02:12.980 Marxist left who just erased the U.S. Constitution, particularly our free speech, but to foment the
00:02:20.100 ideas of freedom and the conservative values that will make America enter a golden age of peace
00:02:26.800 and prosperity and security and justice under Donald Trump.
00:02:32.320 You know, it's amazing to me, Roger, because if I hated somebody and I didn't like them,
00:02:36.060 I wouldn't want anything to do with them.
00:02:37.720 I would cover them as I cover them, but I wouldn't want to speak with them.
00:02:40.180 I wouldn't want to meet them.
00:02:40.980 But you see, I mean, we obviously saw Joe and Mika Brzezinski, but you look at now at the
00:02:46.420 stock exchange, I say, Kramer, Jim Kramer, running up to Trump, trying to get an interview with him.
00:02:51.680 This is a man who went on TV every night.
00:02:53.260 He's going to lose. 1.00
00:02:54.020 He's bad for the markets, this, that, blah, blah, blah, all total bullshit. 1.00
00:02:57.420 We know him to be an idiot. 1.00
00:02:58.600 But these people now are trying to get into his inner circle. 1.00
00:03:01.740 I think it's a day late, a dollar short.
00:03:04.720 Do you think President Trump, and we constantly talk about this on the show, Roger, he's far 0.99
00:03:09.080 too nice of a man, but don't take him for a fool. 0.96
00:03:12.780 Do you think he's going to be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of people like Zuckerberg, like 0.97
00:03:20.120 these TV talking heads who really hate him, but are just trying to save themselves now?
00:03:26.260 I doubt it.
00:03:27.260 Look, he's a cold eyed realist.
00:03:29.640 And just because he says something nice to Kramer doesn't mean he's going to sit down and
00:03:34.820 do his show.
00:03:35.640 And if these people want to give millions of dollars to help Donald Trump beat them, I
00:03:43.480 think that'd probably be OK with him.
00:03:45.480 Trump is, you know, he's a pretty shrewd negotiator.
00:03:49.700 And he does intend, of course, to be president of all the people.
00:03:53.860 That includes the Marxist Dems who don't renounce their citizenship.
00:03:58.080 By the way, Robert De Niro said he would leave the country if Trump was elected.
00:04:02.760 I just want to remind him, if he needs a lift to the airport, I am available.
00:04:07.860 I'm not sure he'd get in the car with Roger Stone.
00:04:11.480 It wouldn't be too much fun for him.
00:04:13.980 You know, it's sad.
00:04:15.180 It's sad to see.
00:04:15.800 I see Rosie O'Donnell going out there every single day, and I don't know what she's got 0.98
00:04:20.080 going on, but she's constantly got open wounds on her face and things. 0.80
00:04:23.120 She doesn't look like she's doing well.
00:04:25.060 You look at these people on The View.
00:04:26.280 Can they go another four years of Trump derangement syndrome?
00:04:29.480 I feel like, Roger, you know, at the beginning, I thought it was just like an act that these
00:04:33.200 people hated Trump, but it seems like it's actually affecting their health.
00:04:36.960 Can they go another four years with this hatred in their bones?
00:04:40.800 Well, it's not getting any views.
00:04:42.360 There's no market for this hatred.
00:04:44.480 Last week, I looked at the ratings, and Ari Melber, who is a great Roger Stone hater, had
00:04:52.340 26,000 views.
00:04:53.840 I did five times that on The Stone Zone, just on Rumble alone, never mind the other
00:04:59.320 platforms where my show can be seen.
00:05:02.160 It's over, and I'm not a big fish in this podcast or this netcast world.
00:05:09.300 But one thing is for sure, and that is power has shifted to the independent media.
00:05:14.780 You see people like James Vander Hei, who was a founder of Politico, now owns Axios, grumbling
00:05:22.580 about the fact that he has competition.
00:05:24.520 We're the real journalists.
00:05:26.020 You can't be a journalist.
00:05:27.220 Only we can be journalists, which is like, you know, is like an old man yelling at the 0.99
00:05:32.500 wind.
00:05:33.680 It is over for the numbers at CNN.
00:05:37.100 We're down already.
00:05:38.220 They're down further.
00:05:39.000 The numbers at MSNBC have taken a nosedive.
00:05:42.500 There is no market for the Trump hate.
00:05:44.720 People like this new sense of optimism.
00:05:47.960 They realize the country has serious problems.
00:05:50.560 But I think this new alliance of Trump and Kennedy is vitally important.
00:05:55.680 I really think not only is Robert Kennedy going to focus on our health, including childhood 0.71
00:06:03.280 disease, including the crap that they're putting into our foods to increase their profits, the
00:06:11.620 process by which pharmaceutical drugs are approved to ensure that they're truly safe and effective. 0.73
00:06:17.460 But he's also hopefully going to look at the question of the assassination of his uncle, his
00:06:25.300 father, a presidential candidate, President Ronald Reagan, President Donald Trump.
00:06:32.420 All of these assassinations need to be examined, I think, more closely.
00:06:38.560 Robert Kennedy has been mentioned as potentially heading a commission to do that, declassifying
00:06:44.100 all the documents on all those cases so we can find out what we what the American people
00:06:50.000 deserve to know.
00:06:51.260 You know, a lot of a lot to unpack there.
00:06:53.880 You mentioned the word journalist.
00:06:55.240 Obviously, by trade, I'm not a journalist, but Lou Dobbs made me one.
00:06:59.100 And I'm thankful that I didn't go to school to get a journalism degree because it would
00:07:02.120 have been a waste of money.
00:07:03.500 I'll never forget one of the fierce things.
00:07:05.960 I was at Fox News.
00:07:06.800 Lou came out to our little work area at Fox.
00:07:08.720 There was about seven or eight of us.
00:07:10.060 And he went around asking everybody what they went to school for.
00:07:13.000 And nine out of 10 people, it was journalism.
00:07:15.500 That one person was poli sci.
00:07:16.800 And he comes up to me.
00:07:17.520 He said, what's your degree?
00:07:18.420 And I said, aeronautical engineering.
00:07:20.960 And Lou in front of everybody goes, John's the only one here with a real degree.
00:07:25.280 And it's I mean, it's true.
00:07:26.540 You go to school for journalism, Roger, to learn what?
00:07:28.640 To learn how to write.
00:07:29.600 I never learned how to write.
00:07:30.700 I learned how to write in college.
00:07:31.560 And Lou taught me how to be an excellent writer.
00:07:33.920 I learned what you learn in journalism school, same thing you learn in the mainstream media,
00:07:39.160 which is Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward are two of the greatest investigative reporters that ever lived.
00:07:45.160 Then you begin to look more closely at the great Bob Woodster, Bob Woodward, Robert Woodward of the formula of the Washington Post.
00:07:52.920 And you realize he lies about the identity of Deep Throat and Watergate.
00:07:56.500 He omits substantial facts about Watergate, including the fact that he himself is a naval intelligence officer who briefed General Alexander Haig in the Trump in the Nixon White House.
00:08:08.860 He leaves that part out.
00:08:10.460 We find that he lies in his book about former CIA director Bill Casey, claiming that Casey that he snuck into Casey's hotel hospital room when Casey was in the hospital for a for a brain tumor and that he spoke to Casey.
00:08:30.580 He had appeared that Casey's doctor and his wife say the director had no capacity for speech and the CIA supplied security showed no breach of the room.
00:08:41.700 He just made the whole thing up.
00:08:43.740 The family of John Belushi, he did a hit job book on him.
00:08:47.160 They have all complained about the inaccuracy.
00:08:48.980 So the great Bob Woodward, who they tell you in the journalism schools is this great journalist, one who said that Donald Trump had been had multiple communications with Putin since leaving office,
00:08:58.660 which turned out to be false, that Bob Woodward is who they lionize in the journalism schools.
00:09:05.260 You know, you mentioned Bob Woodward.
00:09:06.780 I haven't heard his name in a long time, but I'm on a plane in from Lisbon, Portugal two weeks ago.
00:09:11.260 I see a guy reading a book and I was trying to see if this man was American or Spanish to see what he was reading.
00:09:15.640 And he didn't have the cover on the book, Roger.
00:09:17.700 So I look at the binding of the book and it was I think it's called War the War.
00:09:21.920 Bob Woodward's latest book on Trump and I sit and I go, these people are even embarrassed to be reading it.
00:09:26.260 You had to take the cover off the book because you don't want anyone to know what you were reading.
00:09:30.140 I mean, Woodward's written a bunch of books.
00:09:32.320 They all belong in the fiction section of Barnes and Noble.
00:09:38.180 I'm going to grab a book that deserves a little.
00:09:40.640 I have a few of them here.
00:09:41.680 The Trump Century by the great Lou Dobbs.
00:09:43.840 I helped Lou write that book some years ago.
00:09:46.540 It's still on sale.
00:09:47.480 You can go ahead and get your copies of it.
00:09:48.940 But, you know, you have so many people now just able to write books, Roger, able to put out whatever the hell they want.
00:09:55.260 And they're getting mad that Elon Musk gives us all a platform to be citizen journalists is what we are.
00:10:00.980 You know, we're obviously not journalists by trade, but we have bigger audiences, Roger, than some of these folks.
00:10:06.940 Paul Krugman, one of the great New York Times columnist, economist, announcing calling it quits after 25 years, putting out his last article this week, his last opinion piece titled Finding Hope in the Age of Resentment.
00:10:19.140 My last column.
00:10:19.940 So it's nice to see some of these people, Roger, are heading off into the sunset and hopefully we never see or hear from them again.
00:10:26.740 But we're still going to have these numbskulls on CNN. 0.99
00:10:30.320 Caitlin Collins.
00:10:31.220 I don't know if you saw, but two weeks ago, Caitlin Collins out to out to lunch with one of President Trump's lawyers, Todd Blanche.
00:10:37.600 Yeah.
00:10:38.040 What was your thoughts on that?
00:10:39.260 I was a little confused.
00:10:40.120 I'm not sure what Mr. Blanche thought could be gained from a meeting with a jackal like like Caitlin Collins. 1.00
00:10:49.640 I knew her when she was at Fox.
00:10:51.780 She's she's she's basically on the make. 0.95
00:10:55.820 And Trump made very short work of her in that town hall was one of the great moments of American television where he didn't put up with any of her on air crap. 0.95
00:11:04.860 Yeah. But look, it is a mistake to think that you can get any of these people to be reasonable. 0.88
00:11:11.040 Yeah.
00:11:11.280 Really there.
00:11:12.440 She's a knife artist and she tried to do a job on Trump and Trump ended up doing a job on her.
00:11:19.440 I'm not sure what Todd Blanche thought was to be gained.
00:11:24.760 Yeah.
00:11:25.220 I'm not sure if Todd Blanche knew he was having lunch with Caitlin.
00:11:28.260 What's her name?
00:11:28.940 Dylan Mulvaney.
00:11:29.540 I often call Caitlin Collins Dylan Mulvaney because she looks just like the Bud Light transgender, but that's for a different story. 1.00
00:11:35.960 There's so much to uncover, Roger.
00:11:37.260 We're going to take a quick break.
00:11:38.120 We're talking with the great Roger Stone.
00:11:39.480 We come back.
00:11:40.580 I want to talk about Joe Biden last week or yesterday issuing the largest day of pardons in history, but he won't tell us who he pardoned.
00:11:48.700 He's saving that.
00:11:49.780 Now, Roger is a recipient of a pardon.
00:11:51.700 I want to get his thoughts on that.
00:11:52.640 I also want to get his thoughts on Christopher Wray, a man who has done so much damage to an institution who Roger has also fallen victim to.
00:12:01.680 Imagine that, folks.
00:12:03.180 You have these institutions that are supposed to be providing truth, justice and the American way.
00:12:09.500 Instead, they've done nothing but the opposite and destroying democracy.
00:12:13.500 We're coming right back with the great Roger Stone.
00:12:15.120 Stay with us.
00:12:15.580 A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving us with a ton of extra MyPillows.
00:12:23.400 But you know what?
00:12:24.620 That's their loss.
00:12:25.760 I'm going to make a year gain.

00:12:37.000 But it gets even better.
00:12:38.620 For a limited time, I'm going to offer my entire classic collection at wholesale prices.

00:13:10.760 We have limited quantities at this price, so limit's going to be $10.
00:13:15.100 And once they're gone, they're gone.
00:13:19.740 We're back, folks.
00:13:20.760 We're talking with the great Roger Stone, our favorite weekly guest here on The Great America Show.
00:13:25.160 Roger, I want to get to you first.
00:13:26.440 Joe Biden yesterday issuing over 1,000 clemencies and 39 pardons, but the White House won't tell us who he's pardoning.
00:13:35.100 Now, for someone who is chastised for receiving a pardon as yourself for doing absolutely nothing wrong, we spoke about this last week.
00:13:42.160 What do you think about that?
00:13:43.860 Why is Joe Biden trying to hide who he's pardoning?
00:13:46.660 Well, he won't ultimately be able to do that because there is a legal process under which documents have to be filed.
00:13:53.400 I also, if you're given a pardon, must accept the pardon and in writing, and that'll all be a public document.
00:14:00.940 Look, as you may recall, after January 6th, I wrote a letter to the president in which I said, prophetically, the left is going to claim anyone who questions the outcome of this election has committed a crime.
00:14:13.800 When we all understand we have a First Amendment right to say that.
00:14:17.560 Therefore, I suggested a blanket pardon for every Republican member of Congress, every member of his staff, every one of his surrogates, every one of his strong supporters, and so on.
00:14:27.260 He chose not to do that.
00:14:29.160 I turned out to be prophetically right.
00:14:30.900 The prosecutions in Georgia, the prosecutions in Arizona, the prosecutions in Washington, D.C.
00:14:36.760 So, and clearly the idea has been floated on the left of a pardon for Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin and the rest of the retinue, maybe even Dr. Fauci, perhaps James Comey or even John Brennan.
00:14:57.620 I would not be shocked to see some sweeping blanket pardon.
00:15:02.160 You do not have to be formally charged with a crime to be pardoned.
00:15:05.720 If you think about it, Richard Nixon had not been charged with any crime when Gerald Ford issued his binding blanket pardon for, quote, any crime he may have committed.
00:15:16.200 As long as it is past tense, that is perfectly legal.
00:15:20.020 So I expect that you'll see a round of pardons, some of them political, some of them may be actually worthy people who have been discriminated against.
00:15:29.160 Look, thanks to the bill that Joe Biden signed, pardon, Joe Biden wrote, the 1994 crime bill that Bill Clinton signed, hundreds of thousands of African-Americans have been unfairly incarcerated over the first-time nonviolent crime of small amounts of drugs for personal use.
00:15:49.200 These people belong in drug treatment programs, not in taxpayer-financed incarceration.
00:15:55.200 They have no previous criminal record.
00:15:57.640 They're not a danger really to anyone but themselves.
00:16:00.160 But thanks to those policies, there are people who have served an unfair prison sentence.
00:16:05.740 They ought to be pardoned or their sentence is commuted.
00:16:08.920 So until we actually see what Biden has done, we won't know.
00:16:13.320 One thing that I am going to urge the president to do is to follow through on his commitment to pardon the January 6th detainees.
00:16:25.100 If they want, in the end, to just pardon those convicted of nonviolent crimes and commute the sentences of those convicted but unduly, longly sentenced and horrifically punished for violent crimes,
00:16:39.280 if they want to just commute those sentences, that, too, would be justice.
00:16:43.480 But I think this is very important.
00:16:45.500 You'll recall the president said that he would pardon Ross Albrecht, the inventor of the dark net, when he spoke to the National Libertarian Convention.
00:16:53.800 I asked him to keep that commitment.
00:16:56.520 So, but clearly, Biden will set the precedent for what the president has pledged just the other day again to do,
00:17:04.120 which is a pardon for those involved in the January 6th fiasco.
00:17:08.380 So, yeah, you know, I'd even quibble with you on the violent crimes because these people were so overcharged.
00:17:13.780 You don't really know if it was a violent crime anyway.
00:17:16.320 How do you categorize a violent crime, Roger?
00:17:18.280 Climbing over a gate?
00:17:19.500 I don't disagree.
00:17:21.460 I thought, you know, for me, I would pardon all of them.
00:17:23.920 But look, I'm not a lawyer and the president's lawyers will advise him he'll do the right thing.
00:17:28.200 The key thing is to get people out of this mold infested, filthy, sewage, stinking gulag in D.C.
00:17:35.200 that they're in that is far worse than the conditions in any British or Russian prison.
00:17:40.180 This makes Rikers Island look like a dream.
00:17:44.820 So the key is to get them out of that horrific facility.
00:17:49.060 You know, there's a reporting that the Justice Department has declared that January 6th,
00:17:52.840 political prisoners who accept a pardon from Donald Trump are making a, quote,
00:17:55.900 confession of guilt in a court filing on Wednesday, federal prosecutors argued that pardons do not erase convictions as historical facts,
00:18:03.400 but rather necessitate an admission of guilt by the recipient.
00:18:06.440 So does that stand true for Hunter Biden?
00:18:09.280 Is that going to stand true when he eventually pardons Jim Biden?
00:18:13.000 It actually stands true for everyone.
00:18:14.720 That's why you have to accept the pardon.
00:18:17.340 Your alternative is an unfair prison sentence.
00:18:20.600 So it's still an act of mercy and justice.
00:18:24.200 In my case, we now know that my trial judge hid exculpatory evidence from my attorneys that absolutely proved my innocence.
00:18:33.640 We know this because of a lawsuit by BuzzFeed who sued the Justice Department for the release of the documents that proved that.
00:18:41.820 So it is I think each one of these things had to be asked to be viewed in vigil.
00:18:46.180 I'm sick of reading Hunter Biden and Roger Stone, Roger Stone and his wife evaded two and a half million dollars in taxes,
00:18:54.240 but they weren't prosecuted.
00:18:55.940 And Hunter Biden is false, not even apples and oranges.
00:18:59.780 I reported every penny, my wife and I, that we ever made and accurately reported our assets.
00:19:05.220 We simply ran out of money.
00:19:07.180 Hunter Biden failed to report tens of millions of dollars worth of income at all to the IRS.
00:19:12.280 Yes, that's tax evasion.
00:19:14.640 Three quarters of what I owe the IRS, two million dollars, John.
00:19:18.340 Seventy five percent of it is interest and penalties.
00:19:21.740 The actual amount of past due tax from 2006 is, I think, less than four hundred thousand dollars.
00:19:27.100 I made payments on it for every year since 2006, 12 months a year.
00:19:32.600 Tell me about tax evasion.
00:19:34.300 It's a joke.
00:19:35.120 Yeah.
00:19:35.400 You know, we were someone we were talking about before the show, a friend of both of ours, Michael Grimm, former congressman.
00:19:40.160 The first and only person, Roger, indicted it in New York City for hiring illegal immigrants at his business, hiring off the books, dishwashers and busboys.
00:19:48.540 I don't agree with it.
00:19:49.540 I don't think it was right what he did, but he was the only person ever indicted in New York City for it.
00:19:54.360 A week prior to his indictment, Bill de Blasio came out and said everyone hiring everyone in New York hiring should hire illegals.
00:20:01.260 Michael owed, I think, seventy five thousand or ninety thousand dollars in taxes on unreported payrolls.
00:20:06.840 He wound up owing a half a million dollars in taxes and penalties and fees.
00:20:11.460 What people don't realize is that when they hear two million dollars or how much money was Roger making.
00:20:16.000 It's total nonsense what these people do.
00:20:18.460 Going back to the January 6th party and Grimm was targeted because he was a conservative Republican congressman from New York City.
00:20:25.160 The only one to meet that description.
00:20:27.200 Right.
00:20:27.640 And he went after John Boehner and he stepped on his toes and Boehner didn't like it.
00:20:31.100 And they didn't like the fact that Grimm could work both sides of the aisle.
00:20:34.380 He was able to get New Yorkers a lot of money for Hurricane Sandy, which the Republicans weren't in favor of because they didn't care about New York.
00:20:40.940 Well, Grimm cared about New York.
00:20:42.060 And it was why he won reelection so many times.
00:20:44.220 It's why he won reelection under federal indictment.
00:20:47.880 That's a different story.
00:20:48.780 But going back to the January 6th pardons, the mainstream media, it seems like they'll do everything they can to try to push Trump away from this.
00:20:56.040 Newsweek put out a piece this week.
00:20:57.800 Trump pardoning January 6th rioters would be unpopular, according to a poll.
00:21:02.520 Where have these people been, Roger, for the last nine years?
00:21:05.060 Do you think they give a damn?
00:21:06.440 Do you think Donald Trump gives a damn what these people think in their Marxist left fake polls?
00:21:11.320 President Trump won over 50 percent of the votes.
00:21:13.320 He told us, Roger, on the stage of the debate that he was going to look at pardoning these people.
00:21:19.460 Do you think they think Trump gives a damn what they say?
00:21:23.120 No, clearly not.
00:21:25.380 The sad part is that despite everything we have learned since then and that we now know that the January 6th committee hearings were a kabuki theater,
00:21:35.460 which utilized perjury, coaching witnesses, hiding videos, hiding some witnesses, ramping up the volume on audios, using AI to make audio and video tracks.
00:21:51.140 This was a made-for-television special.
00:21:53.500 All the evidence of that, of course, has been destroyed by Democrats.
00:21:56.960 But their narrative has fallen apart.
00:21:58.660 Most Americans understand that this was indeed a fed surrection, as Dr. Darren Beatty, I think, the brilliant reporting of the revolver, has proven.
00:22:09.040 Most Americans don't buy that this was the most violent attack on America since Pearl Harbor.
00:22:15.220 And they don't believe that a bunch of police officers died that day, because that's another lie, as you know.
00:22:21.460 And most Americans don't know the full story of Ashley Babbitt, a decorated Air Force veteran, unarmed, harming no one, shot and killed without warning, for no reason whatsoever, for trespassing.
00:22:36.560 Yep.
00:22:37.220 Yeah.
00:22:37.820 Going on pardons, too.
00:22:39.080 Two other people I would love to see pardons, and I want to get your opinion on this, because it's either very popular or it's very unpopular.
00:22:45.180 I don't think there's, like, really any in between.
00:22:47.040 And it's two people that I think know a lot of information that I would like to know.
00:22:52.240 And I'd like them to come to America and tell Congress what exactly they knew and what was happening behind the scenes.
00:22:58.180 Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
00:23:00.220 What's your thoughts on both of them, Roger?
00:23:01.860 I totally agree with you.
00:23:03.680 Julian Assange is a great crime as being a truth teller.
00:23:07.700 He established the he embarrassed the American political establishment, both Republicans and Democrats.
00:23:13.760 He embarrassed the deep state, he embarrassed the neocons, he showed us the falsity and the corruption of their wars, their conduct of government.
00:23:26.260 And for that, he has paid a horrific price.
00:23:29.560 No, he's not a Russian agent.
00:23:31.060 There's never been any evidence of that.
00:23:33.300 The left loves Julian Assange when it was George W. Bush's hump he was busting.
00:23:38.940 But when he started exposing the Clintons and the Obamas, his truth telling became too tough for them.
00:23:47.140 So they destroyed him.
00:23:48.120 Yes, he has been horrifically punished for practicing journalism.
00:23:54.240 He publishes classified documents, really?
00:23:59.400 The Washington Post does that.
00:24:00.720 Maybe you've heard of the Pentagon Papers case with the Washington Post.
00:24:04.740 Or maybe you're familiar with some of the publishings of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
00:24:10.160 That's what real news organizations do.
00:24:13.840 And, of course, Snowden proves to us that our own NSA director, General Clapper, is lying.
00:24:21.840 Clapper says, no, no, under oath.
00:24:23.480 There's no metadata collection program going on against U.S. citizens.
00:24:29.600 But that is disproved, as you know.
00:24:35.320 So had Snowden not come forward, we would not know that.
00:24:39.700 Now, Clapper is not prosecuted.
00:24:42.360 They prosecute me when I actually didn't say anything that hit any underlying crime.
00:24:47.460 In other words, to violate the False Statements Act while testifying before Congress,
00:24:53.620 what you say has to be not only willful but material.
00:24:56.440 In my case, there is no underlying crime to hide.
00:25:00.880 There is no Russian collusion.
00:25:02.360 There is no WikiLeaks collaboration.
00:25:04.260 The government doesn't produce any proof at trial that there is.
00:25:07.940 But in this case, Clapper is not prosecuted.
00:25:11.620 John Brennan lies to a Senate committee about spying on a Senate committee
00:25:16.960 that is investigating his illegal use of torture.
00:25:20.420 But he is not prosecuted.
00:25:22.340 Right.
00:25:22.420 So when they say, oh, this is about retribution, no, it is about readjusting the scales of justice,
00:25:30.940 rebalancing the scales of justice.
00:25:33.540 You know what?
00:25:34.320 The double standard, that's so crazy.
00:25:36.060 And this stuff, Roger, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
00:25:39.200 It all boils down to common sense.
00:25:41.040 If I'm aware of a murder, Roger, we'll use that for example.
00:25:43.600 If I'm aware of a friend of mine who committed a murder and I'm given evidence on it
00:25:47.300 and I have this evidence that my friend committed a murder and I don't say a word about it
00:25:50.920 and the government finds out after they catch him that I knew about it,
00:25:54.080 I go to jail for aiding and abetting a murderer.
00:25:56.640 Correct?
00:25:57.620 Yes.
00:25:57.760 When the federal government breaks the law, Roger, whether you're collecting metadata
00:26:01.700 or whatever you want, you're all of a sudden, you're a criminal if you come out and speak
00:26:07.060 out against the government.
00:26:08.120 I don't know if you're familiar with a man named Russ Ticey.
00:26:10.180 We have him on the show very often.
00:26:11.780 He was the man who blew the whistle on the Patriot Act and told us he was a former NSA senior
00:26:16.040 intel analyst, he's a good friend of this show and I would love to see him in the Trump
00:26:19.300 administration.
00:26:20.880 He was the one who blew the whistle on the Patriot Act and they came out, Roger, and guess
00:26:25.220 what they said?
00:26:25.880 They said he's a Russian asset. 0.78
00:26:27.780 He's an alcoholic. 1.00
00:26:29.300 This guy's a drug addict. 1.00
00:26:31.200 It's the same nonsense over and over again. 1.00
00:26:33.640 When it comes to the federal government, you're committing treason because you're speaking
00:26:38.720 out against the federal government.
00:26:40.520 Isn't that a dictatorship that these Democrats all talk about that they say Donald Trump is
00:26:45.100 trying to do, but it seems like it always is against our favor?
00:26:49.220 Yeah.
00:26:49.780 Look, we have a two-tiered system of justice.
00:26:54.480 I've been a victim of it.
00:26:55.560 General Flynn has been a victim of it.
00:26:57.420 Donald Trump has been a victim of it.
00:27:00.020 There are certain individuals they set out to destroy.
00:27:03.360 One of the inventors of cryptocurrency, Roger Ver, they're trying to extradite to this country
00:27:10.780 to prosecute for failure to pay taxes that he doesn't really owe, and they hate him because
00:27:17.200 he's a longtime supporter of libertarian and free-thinking ideas, as well as cryptocurrency
00:27:24.200 and so on.
00:27:26.040 So, yeah, people get targeted the way they targeted Ross Albrecht, the inventor of the
00:27:31.240 dark web.
00:27:31.880 So, yes, unfortunately, this is why we have to end this weaponization of our criminal justice
00:27:38.840 system.
00:27:39.940 The idea that Kash Patel, who I think is uniquely qualified to clean up a troubled agency with
00:27:47.280 a history of violating people's civil liberties and rights, the FBI, to say that Kash Patel
00:27:55.220 is going to harm the institution is laughable.
00:27:57.380 Andrew McCabe, a man who never even served as a station chief, who became deputy director,
00:28:03.800 says Kash Patel, a veteran federal prosecutor of intelligence crimes, a former member of
00:28:10.100 the NSA staff, a former chief of staff of the Defense Department, that's a pretty big
00:28:15.040 management job, is not qualified to be the head of the, or the chief counsel to the House
00:28:20.380 Intelligence Committee is not qualified to head the agency, is laughable.
00:28:24.640 And when he says we'll take it back, it would take the agency back to its pre-Watergate days.
00:28:30.140 This is, this is, just to point out, this is the FBI of James Comey, who launched an off-the-books
00:28:37.580 operation to infiltrate Donald Trump's campaign with two good-looking women in a honeypot operation.
00:28:44.180 I would have fell for it, Roger.
00:28:45.400 He preceded the opening of a crossfire hurricane, for which there is no legal predicate, because
00:28:53.260 they know the Steele dossier is a fraud.
00:28:56.160 They know that the Russians did not hack the DNC.
00:28:59.480 So they, this is the greatest dirty trick in American political history.
00:29:03.700 This is nothing less than an abusive power in which Obama and Biden, who's in the room,
00:29:10.060 along with, along with Susan Rice and John Brennan and James Comey and others, use the full authority
00:29:17.880 of the United States government and the extraordinary capability of our intelligence agencies to use
00:29:24.200 what they know is falsified evidence in an illegal effort to remove a duly elected president.
00:29:30.200 It's the great, it makes Watergate look like small potatoes.
00:29:33.960 And now they argue no one should pay any penalty for these, for these treasonous crimes.
00:29:39.420 That would be retribution.
00:29:41.200 Well, that's for a grand jury to decide.
00:29:43.200 That's for prosecutors to decide.
00:29:45.300 I've certainly read enough evidence on the public record of egregious treasonous crimes.
00:29:52.280 Yeah, my favorite thing, by the way, you're referring to George Papadopoulos falling for the
00:29:55.820 two women.
00:29:56.500 I'm glad I wasn't in that position because I would have probably fell for it too.
00:30:00.200 But the funniest thing about this whole thing is Liz Cheney comes out and says, oh, if you 1.00
00:30:04.700 lawyers think you're going to come after us on the January 6th committee, just know there'll
00:30:08.360 be penalties to pay.
00:30:09.380 What the hell does that mean?
00:30:10.280 You have no power.
00:30:11.200 Let's be very clear.
00:30:12.740 Liz Cheney went to one of the witnesses for the committee behind that witness's lawyer's 0.91
00:30:19.080 back.
00:30:20.140 Coached that witness.
00:30:21.600 That is, she's a member of the bar.
00:30:23.200 That is a sanctionable action right there.
00:30:26.060 When someone is represented, you cannot go directly to them.
00:30:29.640 You must go to their attorney.
00:30:30.720 So speaking of sanctions, there's somebody who should be sanctioned.
00:30:34.040 Secondarily, she coaches her in perjury. 0.99
00:30:36.660 So in this colloquy between Liz Cheney and witness Cassidy Hutchison for the January 6th
00:30:43.520 committee, former, I think, assistant to Mark Meadows, the White House staff, Hutchison
00:30:49.140 says the president ordered Mark Meadows to call Roger Stone and General Flynn on January
00:30:55.420 5th to find out what would happen on the 6th.
00:30:58.360 And those final words are helpfully supplied by Liz Cheney.
00:31:01.460 In other words, to find out what was going to happen on the 6th.
00:31:04.460 There's never been any such call.
00:31:06.480 There is no record of a call.
00:31:07.680 There's never was such a call.
00:31:08.780 I've never talked to Mark Meadows on the telephone or I don't think in any medium at all.
00:31:13.340 I met him once in a green room.
00:31:15.040 General Flynn didn't speak to him either.
00:31:16.500 So she perjured herself.
00:31:17.900 She later goes on.
00:31:19.380 Hutchison says that Meadows, the president's chief of staff, was headed to a war room in
00:31:26.020 the Willard Hotel to game plan the electoral college certification, I guess, and that she
00:31:33.680 persuaded him not to go.
00:31:34.940 But he later called Stone and Flynn for a download.
00:31:37.980 False.
00:31:38.380 I was never in any war room.
00:31:40.080 I don't know about one.
00:31:41.400 If there is one in the Willard, I was never there and unaware of it.
00:31:44.900 I checked with General Flynn.
00:31:46.060 Either was he.
00:31:47.320 And no such phone call ever took place.
00:31:49.640 No download could take place for a meeting we didn't attend and know nothing about.
00:31:54.460 So those are two examples of perjury.
00:31:57.840 Both, I would argue, at the behest of Liz Cheney.
00:32:02.260 You can take an AI detection software and run all of their videos through it.
00:32:09.520 You'll see that everything has been manipulated.
00:32:11.880 They have people, including me, saying things that we literally never said.
00:32:16.220 It's the playbook of the left, and we see it all the time.
00:32:19.840 Speaking of perjury, I can't wait to see someone who's going to perjure himself, because I don't
00:32:23.180 think we're going to see the end of former, soon to be former FBI director Christopher
00:32:28.020 Wray.
00:32:28.440 We're going to take one more quick break here.
00:32:29.840 We're talking with Roger Stone.
00:32:30.840 When we come back, we're going to take up Christopher Wray.
00:32:33.240 He's leaving the FBI, but he's trying to leave some friends in place before he leaves.
00:32:38.440 We're also going to take up Pete Hegseth.
00:32:39.960 Does he have the final votes to become the head of the Pentagon?
00:32:44.540 And we're also going to take up Tulsi Gabbard, a person of the right who the Democrats say
00:32:49.080 is a Russian asset.
00:32:50.580 I want to get Roger's take on that when we return.
00:32:52.960 Stay with us, folks.
00:32:53.560 We're coming right back.
00:32:55.920 A large retail store just canceled a huge order, leaving us with a ton of extra MyPillows.
00:33:01.980 But you know what?
00:33:03.360 That's their loss.
00:33:04.540 I'm going to make it your gain.
00:33:06.100 For the first time ever, you get standard classic MyPillows for wholesale prices.
00:33:10.400 Only $14.88.
00:33:11.980 I can't believe I'm even saying that.
00:33:13.900 Only $14.88.
00:33:15.700 But it gets even better.
00:33:17.320 For a limited time, I'm going to offer my entire classic collection at wholesale prices.
00:33:22.460 Upgrade to a queen size MyPillow for just $18.88.
00:33:26.500 King size, only a dollar more.
00:33:28.160 Get MyBodyPillows for $29.88 and multi-use MyPillows for only $9.88.
00:33:34.480 So go to MyPillow.com or call the number on the screen.
00:33:37.640 Use your promo code to take advantage of wholesale pricing for the first time ever on TV, including
00:33:43.520 my standard size MyPillow, only $14.88.
00:33:47.240 They've never been offered this low before.
00:33:49.900 We have limited quantities at this price, so limit's going to be 10.
00:33:53.720 And once they're gone, they're gone.
00:33:57.940 Folks, we're back.
00:33:58.860 We're talking with the great Roger Stone.
00:34:00.280 While we were in break, I had something pop up on my Twitter.
00:34:02.780 One of the folks that Joe Biden reportedly glanted clemency to is a CCP agent who had 47,000
00:34:09.240 files of child pornography on his phone.
00:34:12.100 The name is Shanlin Jin.
00:34:13.420 And so I'm looking forward to this list of other folks that we're going to find out
00:34:17.100 were on that list. 0.93
00:34:18.820 January Sixers are a bunch of criminals. 1.00
00:34:20.600 Roger Stone's a criminal. 0.97
00:34:21.680 But 47,000 files of child pornography in some countries, that gets you the death sentence,
00:34:28.320 as it should.
00:34:29.680 Let me point that out.
00:34:31.560 Roger, I want to turn to Christopher Wray, a man who's no friend of you or this country.
00:34:36.460 Sources within the FBI say that Christopher Wray has begun promoting employees among senior
00:34:41.040 executive service, those who serve within the Bureau's leadership.
00:34:43.840 So the people who are the rot, the fish, the rot, the rots at the head.
00:34:49.280 These sources describe this as an effort to burrow establishment figures deep within the FBI.
00:34:54.400 Sources said a plan is being formulated to delay new FBI director's entry into the agency
00:34:58.880 for three to four months.
00:35:00.200 So that being Cash Patel, with the acting director being one of Christopher Wray's good
00:35:07.100 friends, Paul Abate.
00:35:08.420 What's your thoughts on Christopher Wray?
00:35:10.060 Do you think we see the end of Christopher Wray?
00:35:12.160 Or do you think the Republicans will actually do something for a change this time and hold
00:35:16.580 these people accountable?
00:35:18.600 This depends entirely on the Senate confirming Cash Patel.
00:35:22.500 So here's the problem.
00:35:23.520 And that is those who understand the institution and the government and its rules,
00:35:27.600 in the early days, if whoever has authority over them doesn't understand the system, they
00:35:34.540 can be thwarted, they can be stalled, the agenda can be delayed, derailed, demolished.
00:35:43.040 But that won't happen with Cash Patel.
00:35:45.300 He's uniquely qualified.
00:35:46.580 He understands exactly who the bad guys are and he knows what they did.
00:35:50.000 Because he ran, with John Ratcliffe, he ran the Russia collusion investigation.
00:35:55.240 So you have the CIA director and the FBI director completely aware of what the FBI has done,
00:36:02.120 including the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, the 6 a.m.
00:36:06.560 raid on my home for a first-time nonviolent white-collar crime when I could have simply turned
00:36:11.520 myself in.
00:36:12.800 That little extravaganza.
00:36:14.320 Remember that?
00:36:14.980 CNN was conveniently just 25 people in the front door.
00:36:18.460 How convenient.
00:36:19.980 Nobody tipped them off.
00:36:21.040 No, no, it was, they got an award for their intuitive investigative reporting.
00:36:27.700 This is great.
00:36:28.840 So I was arrested at 6.06.
00:36:31.120 At 6.11, a CNN producer texts my lawyer and says, your client has been arrested.
00:36:37.040 And he says, for what?
00:36:38.040 She sends him my sealed indictment.
00:36:40.200 Wow.
00:36:40.600 It wasn't sealed until 11.30 that morning.
00:36:44.360 It has no court stampings or time markings on it.
00:36:46.960 But it does, when you go to the metadata tags, have the initials of the man who wrote it,
00:36:51.160 Andrew Weissman, the most important prosecutor, who obviously, therefore, is the leaker.
00:36:55.880 Leaking an arrest warrant or a search warrant is a felony.
00:37:00.440 But only the left is held, only those on the right are held responsible for things they
00:37:06.580 may or may not have done.
00:37:07.640 But on the left, we have a two-tier justice system. 0.99
00:37:11.320 Yeah.
00:37:11.800 And I'm not sure what Christopher Wray thinks he's going to do with hiding these people.
00:37:15.140 We know who they are.
00:37:16.380 You can look up any federal employee in some states, even state employee, and see where
00:37:20.140 they're at, where their ranks are, how much they're getting paid.
00:37:22.580 I'm not entirely sure what he's going to do.
00:37:23.900 And he's playing games with the wrong person.
00:37:25.400 He's playing games with Cash Patel.
00:37:27.000 Cash Patel is a young guy.
00:37:28.120 He's got plenty of energy to go through with these folks.
00:37:30.700 And I know some of the people Cash is in tune with work-wise.
00:37:36.280 And they're all smart people, triple-digit IQs, not double-digit IQs like these folks who
00:37:41.720 are in the FBI right now.
00:37:43.500 I mean, I really want to see Christopher Wray before a House committee and something done
00:37:47.620 about it.
00:37:48.040 Because things like the raid on your house, you know, Christian Walker asked President
00:37:52.220 Trump in that interview on deface the nation, or meet the press, it was rather, meet the
00:37:56.420 press, meet the depressed is what it should be, or meet the Marxist, whatever you want
00:38:01.620 to call it.
00:38:02.720 And she said, why are you going to fire Christopher Wray?
00:38:04.860 Do you like Christopher Wray?
00:38:06.360 And Trump answered so simply, the man broke into my home and raided my home and approved 0.94
00:38:12.260 agents to go in there with guns.
00:38:13.760 They were a former U.S. president, a leading candidate, and what we all knew, or at least
00:38:17.700 you and I knew, to be the next president of the United States.
00:38:20.520 How does someone, like, get away with something like that, Roger?
00:38:24.020 I mean, look, President Trump said that he hired Christopher Wray because he looked the
00:38:29.280 part.
00:38:29.860 Right.
00:38:30.300 I think the guy looks like he ought to be, you know, at the craps tables in Atlantic City
00:38:34.960 as a dealer, to be honest with you, or maybe 21 if it's illegal there now.
00:38:40.400 This is a man who harassed parents for going to school board meetings to express their concerns
00:38:48.180 about the curriculum being taught to their children.
00:38:50.680 This is a man who harassed people for peacefully protesting the crime of abortion, the outrage
00:39:00.740 of abortion.
00:39:01.920 This is a man who called those who choose to attend the Latin mass domestic terrorists.
00:39:09.100 So the abuses in this agency, to say that the agency would go back to its pre-Watergate
00:39:17.860 days, I say it's much worse than its post-Watergate days.
00:39:21.200 And that's the sad truth.
00:39:22.860 The entire launch of Crossfire Hurricane, James Comey trying to entrap the President of the
00:39:30.460 United States, Rod Rosentine agreeing to wear a wire to entrap the President of the United
00:39:35.700 States.
00:39:36.660 Who do you think would have wired him up?
00:39:38.320 The FBI.
00:39:40.080 So, I mean, it is truly outrageous.
00:39:43.260 This agency is out of control.
00:39:45.360 And the President has nominated precisely the right guy to clean it up.
00:39:50.400 And this is why Ray and his colleagues and so many others on the hard left who know they
00:39:55.880 have broken the law and thought that they would escape consequence forever, beginning to worry
00:40:00.140 about, well, maybe I should be lawyering up.
00:40:02.780 Right.
00:40:03.460 Roger, I don't think he's just the right guy.
00:40:05.380 I think he was the only guy for the job.
00:40:06.920 And we were all sitting there worried when President Trump was maybe thinking about that
00:40:11.040 rhino from Michigan, the guy who wears the wig, Mike Rogers.
00:40:14.600 I think that guy got Romneyed, in all honesty.
00:40:19.540 I'm hoping these stories about Ron DeSantis possibly, first of all, I don't think it's
00:40:24.700 going to be necessary.
00:40:25.320 I think Hegseth is going to make it.
00:40:27.000 I'm 100% for him.
00:40:28.360 I admire his fight.
00:40:30.460 He didn't wither under fire.
00:40:32.920 He's making the case.
00:40:34.840 They're trying to do the full Kavanaugh on him.
00:40:37.220 He doesn't seem to be working.
00:40:38.980 So I'm with Pete.
00:40:40.040 But if Pete should have to withdraw, which I don't foresee, as someone said, well, the
00:40:44.380 president should go to Ron DeSantis.
00:40:46.540 I don't agree with that.
00:40:49.640 There are much, much better candidates.
00:40:51.960 I don't think you should reward treachery.
00:40:54.480 I don't think you should reward disloyalty.
00:40:57.200 I mean, Ron DeSantis would never have been governor but for Donald Trump.
00:41:01.420 And at 42 years old, he could have waited to run for president.
00:41:04.240 Instead, he challenged the man who graciously made him and raised millions for him and dragged
00:41:10.160 him over the finish line and secured him the Republican nomination.
00:41:14.280 It's a stunning and disappointing act of disloyalty.
00:41:17.420 And I don't think it should be forgiven when there are people like Senator Phil Haggerty could
00:41:24.220 serve in the cabinet, for example.
00:41:26.420 But I think the good news is Hegseth is going to make it because he is a fighter, which is
00:41:32.020 precisely why the president chose him.
00:41:34.680 I think Cash is going to make it.
00:41:37.280 This brings us to Tulsi Gabbard.
00:41:39.600 The attacks on her are nauseating.
00:41:41.880 You know, when they post him, when Kinzinger, that little midget, her, you know, in Stalinistic 1.00
00:41:49.940 garb, trying to claim she's not a loyal American, that she's not a patriotic American, simply
00:41:55.620 because she doesn't want to continue to ship billions of dollars to Ukraine. 0.99
00:42:00.020 This is a woman who served her country in combat in Iraq, in Kuwait, putting her life
00:42:06.340 on the line for her country.
00:42:07.520 This is someone who today is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, who she's an accomplished
00:42:13.640 athlete, surfer, shooter, and she completely understands the surveillance state, because
00:42:23.440 when she criticized Kamala Harris, she found herself on a secret domestic terrorist TSA watch
00:42:31.240 list, and she was under surveillance whenever she traveled, which was pretty much every day.
00:42:36.180 How do you rationalize this for a four-term member of Congress who served on the House
00:42:42.480 Foreign Affairs Committee and the Armed Services Committee, and who's still serving their country
00:42:47.800 in the Army National Guard?
00:42:50.280 This is absolutely outrageous, as is any questioning of her patriotism.
00:42:55.920 Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:42:56.880 You mentioned the terror, it's called the SSS, what they put you on, the second service.
00:43:01.780 You know, it's sort of interesting, because when I found out Tulsi was on that, I thought
00:43:06.100 back some years ago, while I was working at Fox, where I got on a flight, and I've worked
00:43:10.120 in the airline industry before, so I've passed background checks.
00:43:12.620 I'm a licensed pilot, Roger.
00:43:14.660 I have FAA certification, so I've passed background checks federally.
00:43:17.580 I go for medical every year, so I passed that.
00:43:19.580 And one day, I go to get on a flight, and I've got SSS on the bottom of it.
00:43:22.760 And it boiled down to they told me that it was because me and my father have the same name,
00:43:27.580 which I knew not to be true, because I have the fourth after my name.
00:43:31.280 I'm John Foster IV.
00:43:32.720 My father doesn't have that.
00:43:34.000 We have two separate Social Security numbers.
00:43:35.740 And how many people in America have the same name as their father and son?
00:43:39.120 I didn't think it was any coincidence.
00:43:41.340 I later find out that my phones were maybe tapped as well.
00:43:45.020 It was a whole litany of things.
00:43:46.300 I don't know what they thought they were getting out of me.
00:43:47.740 I'm a pretty law-abiding citizen, aside from maybe speeding every now and then.
00:43:52.500 You know, I'm not sure what they were wasting their time on me with.
00:43:54.780 But Tulsi Gabbard, you know, it seems to be the one that they've moved on to now
00:43:58.980 because they know they're not getting headset.
00:44:00.740 We saw last week, Roger, they said, you were never accepted into West Point.
00:44:05.520 They gave him a problem about saying he was accepted into West Point.
00:44:08.120 We find out he was accepted into West Point.
00:44:10.340 They never gave Richard Dick Blumenthal any issues when he made up this whole story
00:44:16.280 about being Danang Dick.
00:44:17.440 I mean, the double standard, Roger, is just laughable at this point.
00:44:21.440 You're talking about people with stolen valor as compared to a guy,
00:44:25.880 even if he did say, Roger, he was accepted in there and he wasn't. 1.00
00:44:28.540 Okay, it's a stupid lie. 1.00
00:44:29.940 We now know that's not the case. 1.00
00:44:31.040 He was accepted, but it's a stupid lie. 0.99
00:44:32.680 You have people pretending to be in combat war, Roger, and it's okay. 1.00
00:44:37.580 Like, I can't think of anybody other than say, oh, I don't know, Tim Walz.
00:44:42.400 Right.
00:44:43.060 Look, and this is pretty obvious.
00:44:44.420 There's a famous saying, never send a letter and never throw one away.
00:44:47.580 And I think this is a perfect example of Pete Hegseth quickly producing proof
00:44:53.440 that he not only applied to go to West Point, but he was accepted.
00:44:57.140 So the great smear machine, paid for by our taxpayers, by the way,
00:45:02.040 which is where this particular smear comes from, comes through public broadcasting,
00:45:09.180 it turns out to be yet another lie.
00:45:11.300 Again, it's the full Kavanaugh.
00:45:13.080 Now, because Tulsi Yabbar has expressed extreme concern about the safety of hundreds
00:45:19.980 of thousands of Christians in Syria, where we saw the mass slaughter of Christians,
00:45:27.280 including the crucifixion of five-year-old schoolgirls, the last time Islamic extremists
00:45:33.160 controlled Syria, that does not make her not a patriotic American.
00:45:39.980 It is outrageous.
00:45:41.180 The president is entitled to his cabinet positions.
00:45:43.860 She is highly qualified for this position based on her assignments in Congress
00:45:48.780 and her service to her country.
00:45:51.420 And at the end, I'm confident that she will be confirmed.
00:45:55.280 I read a story, I'm not sure this is accurate, that Bernie Sanders,
00:45:59.380 who is considering supporting her nomination, she supported Sanders over Hillary Clinton 0.99
00:46:04.520 because Sanders was the anti-war candidate.
00:46:06.840 She didn't agree with Bernie Sanders about everything, but when it came to the most important issue
00:46:12.120 in their party at the time, Hillary Clinton was the neo-Khan candidate who took out Gaddafi.
00:46:19.520 How well did that work out?
00:46:20.620 Now the same forces, the CIA and extremist elements with our funding, have taken out the government in Syria.
00:46:29.900 I'm not arguing that Assad was a great civil libertarian, but I'm arguing that there are now
00:46:35.900 hundreds of thousands of Christians whose lives are in danger at this moment, and that does concern me.
00:46:41.720 Yes.
00:46:42.560 Yeah.
00:46:43.040 I hear they're also starting an airline in Syria now, too, which scares the hell out of me if you think about it.
00:46:49.560 You know, you go down the list of things that are really bad.
00:46:52.540 I think the foreign policy, neither of us are foreign policy experts.
00:46:55.400 You're probably a little bit better than I am, but I think the world stage is going to be a lot different.
00:47:00.580 Netanyahu put out a statement this week.
00:47:02.280 He's saying, Tyran, you know, I think peace is coming a lot sooner than you all expect.
00:47:07.400 And I think we will.
00:47:08.480 I think we will maybe see peace in the Middle East for the first time in my lifetime, at least.
00:47:14.660 You know, I want to turn back to politics real quickly as we wrap up here as it comes to these appointments.
00:47:21.500 In 2026, there's no excuses.
00:47:24.180 If these senators and I ask each and every one of you watching the show today to go look at how many Democrats voted against any of Biden's nominees.
00:47:33.220 If you could find one, shoot us an email at infoludobbs.com because I'd love to see it because I haven't found one yet. 0.85
00:47:40.020 If any of these damn Republicans who are in the Senate, who are up for reelection in 2026, think they're going to vote against this or use it as some sort of bargaining chip, we need to hold them accountable because they can't get away with this any longer. 0.65
00:47:51.820 Roger, I want to get your opinion on Mitch McConnell as he takes another fall this week in the Capitol. 0.98
00:47:57.220 Does he run for reelection?
00:47:59.520 Let me say two things.
00:48:00.660 First of all, when Biden became president, Democrats had 50 votes in the Senate.
00:48:06.140 Republicans voted overwhelmingly to give Biden his cabinet, despite the fact that many nominees had blemishes, to say the least.
00:48:14.360 But they will not afford Donald Trump the same courtesy.
00:48:17.940 And our problem are not the Democrats.
00:48:20.260 You expect this kind of obstruction.
00:48:21.500 But there are deluded Republicans out there, maybe three, four, it's all it takes, who somehow think that they can thwart the will of the people in the last election.
00:48:34.900 I think that that is an enormous error on their part.
00:48:37.740 First of all, there's a new sheriff in town.
00:48:39.580 And if a senator from, I don't know, let's take a state, South Dakota, doesn't vote for one of the president's nominees, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert Kennedy, whoever it may be, well, then they will face a stiff primary in 2026 when they come up for reelection.
00:48:54.900 This is not the old Republican Party.
00:48:57.100 This is the new Republican Party of the middle class, of middle America, of the taxpayer, of the party of peace, of the party of prosperity, the party of security, border security particularly, and the party of justice.
00:49:11.060 It is it's an entirely new day, John.
00:49:15.660 Yeah.
00:49:15.980 And we better hold it.
00:49:17.180 We better hold them accountable, Roger.
00:49:18.800 We cannot allow this. 0.99
00:49:19.980 And even the shit that Joni Ernst is pulling, it's like a it's like a it's a it's a negotiating tactic. 0.99
00:49:27.180 But who the hell are you negotiating with? 0.99
00:49:28.680 Who do you think you are? 0.87
00:49:30.020 These senators have a very inflated importance.
00:49:33.360 And, of course, this is her.
00:49:34.960 This is her 15 minutes. 0.90
00:49:36.340 Otherwise, she's been in a national headline in a long time.
00:49:40.200 I think she'll be committing political suicide if she doesn't support the president's nominees. 1.00
00:49:45.220 So, look, I've always had respect for Susan Collins.
00:49:48.740 She does a lot of things that I disagree with, but I've always found her to be open minded.
00:49:53.860 And I would hope that she would give all these nominees a good look.
00:49:58.240 Murkowski, I think, is hopeless.
00:50:00.020 I don't think Collins is necessarily hopeless.
00:50:03.600 She often does the right thing.
00:50:06.080 She does study every issue.
00:50:07.680 I've known her for 30 years.
00:50:10.440 You can have a knee jerk reaction, but I would hope that she will examine the nominations.
00:50:15.220 I don't see us.
00:50:17.920 I think in the end, the president will win, but only through grassroots activism.
00:50:22.160 So when Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma, a state where Donald Trump carried 77 of 77 counties, said that he may not vote for, I believe it was Cash Patel.
00:50:33.900 His constituents went out of their minds.
00:50:35.700 He was flooded with e-mails and text messages and phone calls.
00:50:40.480 And this is what what MAGA people need to do.
00:50:43.500 Contact your senators.
00:50:44.520 You go online, find out how to contact them.
00:50:46.460 Their e-mail is there.
00:50:47.700 Their phone numbers for their district offices, their home state offices, which is why I suggest you register your opinion.
00:50:54.280 Do not use obscenities.
00:50:56.900 Do not yell politely, but firmly tell these senators that you expect them to support the will of the people and support the president's nominees.
00:51:06.040 And if they don't, that they'll be held accountable at the polls in our system.
00:51:10.780 I think that kind of grassroots activism is Mark Wayne Mullen now says he's voting for Cash Patel.
00:51:17.580 Boy, that was fast.
00:51:18.920 Yeah.
00:51:19.220 So I think those kind of things are very important.
00:51:22.200 People need to do it right now.
00:51:23.360 Do it for Pete Henseth today.
00:51:25.500 Do it for Chelsea Gabbard.
00:51:27.420 Do it for Cash Patel.
00:51:29.200 Those are those are the hottest nominations out there.
00:51:32.960 Hopefully some of the president's better appointments.
00:51:36.540 At least Stefanik, who's a bulldog when it comes to fairness and exposing corruption of the FBI going to the U.N.
00:51:45.120 Hopefully this nomination sails through.
00:51:47.520 It's one of the president's best nominations.
00:51:50.480 Yeah, I agree with you, Roger.
00:51:51.520 And for everyone who doesn't want to go online, we'll make it easier for you.
00:51:54.560 202-224-3121.
00:51:57.680 202-224-3121.
00:52:00.680 That's the Capitol Hill switchboard.
00:52:01.920 You just ask to speak to your senator.
00:52:03.620 And if you're in that state, it makes a difference because the senator's offices see where the calls are coming in from.
00:52:08.340 So, in other words, if you're in South Dakota and you're calling, they see that you're calling from South Dakota, it makes a difference.
00:52:13.860 And it does, I think, move the needle a little bit.
00:52:16.540 You look at these rhinos like Mark Wayne Mullen. 0.99
00:52:18.760 Total rhino.
00:52:19.440 I think the guy's got a conservative record of like 51 percent. 0.99
00:52:22.800 Disgusting. 0.99
00:52:23.280 Absolutely disgusting. 1.00
00:52:24.240 Shouldn't even be there in the first place.
00:52:25.580 But it's a conversation for our show next week.
