He is the most consequential American leader of the 21st century, and that's an understatement.
00:00:09.620
President Trump has, here's a list, removed men from women's sports, ended DEI in the
00:00:13.640
federal government and the U.S. military, expanded oil and gas extraction to lower prices,
00:00:18.420
taken steps to end unfair trade practices, secured trillions of dollars in new investments
00:00:23.360
in American manufacturing, deported criminal illegal aliens, stood up for religious liberty,
00:00:28.360
and rooted out anti-Christian bias, combated virulent anti-Semitism on college campuses.
00:00:34.540
The list goes on and on and on. That's just barely scratching the surface. That's in 100 days.
00:00:40.980
Are you folks tired of winning yet? Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:45.520
It's great to have you with us. Thanks so much for joining us on this fine night in America.
00:00:49.760
Today marks 100 days that President Trump has been in office. Now, a programming note,
00:00:54.880
you probably realize and notice that we're live at 5 Eastern today, and that is for one reason.
00:01:00.780
President Trump will be rallying folks at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan,
00:01:06.900
tonight at 6 p.m. If you keep it locked in right here on The Great America Show,
00:01:11.400
right here on Rumble YouTube, Twitter will be carrying the rally live for you,
00:01:16.060
so you don't even have to flinch. Don't have to move your seat. We'll have the link right here for you
00:01:20.080
in the chat, and you'll be able to just click that and stay right here on Lou Dobbs Media.
00:01:25.160
You won't have to go anywhere. You won't have to tune into Fox News or CNN or any of those fake news
00:01:30.400
networks. We got it for you right here on the Lou Dobbs Media channel. So the first 100 days, folks,
00:01:37.400
I'm going to ask you guys, what do you guys think now? Of course, you can't respond to me,
00:01:41.440
but think about it. Are you underwhelmed? Are you overwhelmed? Are you have you expected
00:01:47.440
the first 100 days to be this good? Have you expected them to be bad? We want to know your
00:01:52.220
thoughts. Shoot me a message on Twitter at johnfawcettny, or you can email us at info at
00:01:56.480
Lou Dobbs. I want to know what you guys are thinking and where you guys are at. Let us know
00:02:01.220
right here in the comments section on how you think President Trump is doing in the first 100 days.
00:02:06.820
Now, the MSNBC Marxists were out on the streets of Michigan earlier today and this week asking voters
00:02:14.060
what they thought about President Trump and the job he's doing his first 100 days in office.
00:02:23.940
Tariffs have got everybody scared and I'm willing, I think, to go through a little bit of initial pain.
00:02:32.800
Nobody likes to pay more for anything. I don't. But in the long run, I think it's going to be good.
00:02:41.720
I'm optimistic. I'm really very optimistic. And I know that right now with the tariffs,
00:02:46.960
that there's a little bit of pain. Things are happening right now that right now aren't,
00:02:56.000
Are you willing to accept that pain for the time being?
00:02:59.360
Well, I don't think I'm an instant gratification person. I think that sometimes you have to go
00:03:05.900
through a little bit of the fire to get to the end of the rainbow.
00:03:11.400
Perfectly put by that gentleman, by both those gentlemen in Michigan there.
00:03:17.060
It's as we've been saying on the show, nothing's instant. And some of the things that President
00:03:20.900
Trump and the holes he's had to pull us out of here are not holes that you pull out of immediately.
00:03:25.780
Now, I'm not giving a free pass to Pam Bondi for why she hasn't gotten out the Epstein files,
00:03:32.480
which we're going to take up today with our good friend, the great Roger Stone,
00:03:36.560
our weekly guest here on The Great America Show. I'm not giving her a free pass
00:03:40.120
on why she hasn't been able to do that. But the trade deals, some of these trade deals that these
00:03:46.460
government officials have got us in over the years, they can't be taken out overnight.
00:03:51.120
The tariffs, it's not an overnight thing. Foreign policy, it's not an overnight thing. But
00:03:56.640
for the overwhelming majority, his first hundred days, in my opinion, has been nothing short of
00:04:01.780
monumental. And that is with him being stifled and stopped by Marxist dem rogue judges. There's
00:04:08.800
judges who mean to harm America, who want to control America, and want to do everything they
00:04:14.740
could to subvert you, the voters. It's what it is. But we have a lot to look forward to now for the
00:04:20.740
rest of the year, for the rest of the term, this administration. One thing in particular is those
00:04:27.020
tax cuts, those Trump tax cuts, the corporate tax cuts, the individual tax cuts that are going to be
00:04:31.560
renewed very shortly. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson was at the White House today, and he had this to
00:04:38.480
say about how it's coming along and how it's progressing.
00:04:42.520
It's trade, it's tax and it's deregulation. So we are in the midst of addressing, as Caroline said, these
00:04:54.300
long term trade imbalances. The tax bill is going much better than I would have thought when I took office
00:05:04.680
on January 28th. And that's through President Trump's leadership, that Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune,
00:05:11.820
are united. Speaker Johnson, we had a very good meeting yesterday with somebody called the Big Six,
00:05:19.800
NEC Director Kevin Hassett, myself, Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, Committee Chairman Jason Smith,
00:05:26.400
and Senator Crapo. And the tax bill is moving forward. It is going to give permanence to the
00:05:34.060
2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act, which will, back to the question on certainty, it will give American
00:05:40.600
business certainty, it will give American people certainty, and then President Trump.
00:05:46.540
Scott Besson, probably one of the best Treasury Secretaries I've seen in my lifetime.
00:05:51.840
Brian, brilliant, brilliant man. Once those tax cuts come back and those things are renewed,
00:05:57.900
the markets are going to absolutely soar. There's nothing more that the market's like than tax cuts,
00:06:04.000
especially corporate tax cuts that are coming for these businesses. So we look forward to that.
00:06:09.760
There's so much green road or green grass, I should say, and paved road ahead for this administration
00:06:17.160
that it's going to take some time. And like I said, I'm not giving a free pass to Pam Bondi.
00:06:21.180
And why they're dragging their feet on everything. But as a whole, this administration is off to a
00:06:27.020
rousing start. Hats off to the administration. Now, yesterday, we had on Mark Mitchell, and we
00:06:32.800
talked about the mainstream media, their lies and their polls, these fake polls. They didn't learn
00:06:37.480
their lesson in 2016. They didn't learn their lesson in 2020. They didn't learn their lesson in 2024.
00:06:42.960
And now they're back into 2025 with the same nonsense, the lies, the deceit,
00:06:47.580
and the destruction. It's not just the pollsters, though. We watch CNN on this show here,
00:06:54.420
so you don't have to. Jake Tapper, as I like to call him, fake Tapper, covering a story very
00:07:01.220
interesting. We'll let it roll and we'll explain after.
00:07:05.360
...is approaching its first 100-day mark with a full-court press on the issue of illegal immigration,
00:07:10.840
and they really don't want you to miss it. So they subtly and tastefully deck the White House
00:07:16.780
North Lawn with dozens of yard signs featuring photos of people that the Trump administration
00:07:21.520
claims are in the country illegally. Each poster saying, arrested, enlisting the alleged offensive
00:07:27.440
with which they have been charged. CNN's working to confirm the identities. And if there are actual
00:07:33.020
allegations against these people, until then, we are blurring their identities.
00:07:36.740
I mean, these people are just total liars. Jake Tapper, another one. Total, total liar.
00:07:44.300
Notice how many times he said alleged. Alleged criminals or claims. Well, Jake, the difference
00:07:52.200
between you and your fake news operation that you run and you work at is that the Trump administration
00:07:57.860
has receipts. Don't, as I say here every day, folks, don't take our word for it. Don't take anyone's
00:08:04.200
word for it. There's receipts. Those alleged criminals that were arrested. By the way, this
00:08:10.820
is, if you guys have Twitter, if you're not following me, please be sure to follow me on
00:08:14.440
Twitter, at JohnFawcettNY. Also on YouTube. We're now on YouTube. We're trying to grow our
00:08:20.300
YouTube channel. If you can follow us on YouTube. If you have a YouTube account, The Great America
00:08:25.180
Show, please follow us there. Subscribe, turn on notifications so you know every time we go live
00:08:29.980
there, we'd greatly appreciate it as we're trying to boost that channel up like we have our Rumble
00:08:34.880
channel rolling. So back to what I was saying. The Trump administration has receipts, unlike these
00:08:39.320
Marxist Dems. CNN and MSNBC, they can lie. They can lie. Adam Schiff, they can lie. They get away with it.
00:08:46.560
Nobody holds them. Yesterday, we spoke about accountability. Nobody holds them accountable.
00:08:50.640
So they get away with it and they continue to do as they please. But the Trump administration has
00:08:55.560
receipts. So Jake Tapper, fake Tapper, told you alleged crimes. The Trump administration claims
00:09:03.220
they're criminals. You heard it. You heard the same thing I heard. So as I was saying back to Twitter,
00:09:09.060
rapid response 47 is the Trump administration's, one of their Twitter pages where they rebuff and
00:09:15.420
rebuttal anything the fake news puts out. So if you've got a rapid response 47 on Twitter,
00:09:21.480
their pinned tweet is this quote, meet the scumbags placed on the White House lawn this morning for
00:09:28.740
the world to see the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens sent back where they belong in
00:09:34.360
President Trump's first hundred days. So Tapper, I'm not sure if he was saying allegedly arrested or
00:09:40.040
allegedly criminals, but you can go right here. As I said, rapid response 47. And it has all of these
00:09:47.240
people's names. I'm sorry, they withhold the names, but they have all the crimes and everything
00:09:52.520
they've been accused of, what they've done, their arrest date. And you can go through and you can look
00:10:00.260
and you can see what these people are arrested for. There's no hyperbole here, as CNN would suggest.
00:10:05.900
There's no alleged. This is one of my favorite ones. It's become a meme lately. As you can see,
00:10:14.800
this lady right here, when they arrested her was crying. The arrest of a Dominican Republic
00:10:22.020
national convicted of possessing and distribution of fentanyl ice Philadelphia arrested Virginia
00:10:28.880
Basora Gonzalez, a 36 year old. Oh, I take that back. They did put the names in 36 year old citizen
00:10:34.540
Dominican Republic. Basora has a final order of removal dated for May 4th, 2020. Basora's criminal
00:10:40.820
history includes a conviction for attempted possession with intent to distribute 40 grams
00:10:45.800
or more of fentanyl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Enough grams of fentanyl to kill multiple people.
00:10:53.980
There's no alleged there, Mr. Jake Tapper. There's no claims there, Mr. Jake Tapper.
00:11:01.760
Why don't you report the news? Be honest with the American people on what's going on in this
00:11:07.620
country. The criminals that have flown into this country, the drugs that have poured into this
00:11:12.420
country, the crime that has flourished in this country from illegal immigration. Why don't you be
00:11:20.600
honest with the people? And if you're not going to be honest with the people, why don't you take them
00:11:24.140
to live with you? Why don't you adopt some of them? If they're such good people, take them to live with
00:11:30.960
you in your mansion, your million dollar house, your million dollar apartment, wherever you live.
00:11:35.680
Take them to live with you if they're such good people. It doesn't seem, folks, that the Marxist
00:11:41.440
Dems and these mainstream media outlets are going to stop their deceit and lies anytime soon. Now,
00:11:47.140
thankful for great Americans like you and I, we hold them accountable by not tuning in
00:11:53.240
and giving to their ratings. Eventually, they're going to run out of money. They're going to run
00:11:57.940
out of advertising money. Advertisers aren't going to dump any money into the network. That's how it
00:12:02.240
works. These networks flourish on advertising. The advertisers see a demographic, a number of
00:12:10.920
audience viewers, and they pay based on that. So one of two things happens here.
00:12:17.180
They start cutting down substantially on how much they're spending, how much they're paying for their
00:12:21.500
week viewer numbers, or they cut it out altogether. So there's going to be a day where Jake Tapper's
00:12:28.140
not going to have a job anymore. We've seen the downsizing that CNN has done and MSNBC has done.
00:12:33.860
They're just a few. That's going to happen all across the board. The American people are tired of it.
00:12:38.580
Nobody wants to hear your lies anymore. Nobody wants to hear your deceit.
00:12:43.680
You guys are a threat to democracy, not Donald Trump, not MAGA, nothing compared to what you
00:12:49.260
guys have done over the last 10 years and what you continue to do. So before we bring in our guest,
00:12:55.840
the great Roger Stone, host of The Stone Zone, each and every night, WABC Radio, 8 p.m.,
00:13:02.220
or you catch him on wabcradio.com or thestonezone.com. I want to conclude with this. And also just a
00:13:11.460
reminder, we'll be carrying that Trump rally live from Michigan, Warren, Michigan, right after the
00:13:16.980
show, right here on this channel, in the chat section on Rumble and YouTube. We'll have the link
00:13:22.140
for you to join us for that. In conclusion, President Trump's first hundred days, in my opinion,
00:13:30.140
couldn't be off to a better start. Like I said, with the exception of these rogue Marxist judges,
00:13:36.860
that would be the only exception, in my opinion, where it could have been off to a better start.
00:13:41.700
But it's baked in the cake, folks. That's what these Marxist Dems do. It is what it is.
00:13:47.000
We've lived with it for 10 years. We'll live with it for another four.
00:13:56.280
Joining us now is the great Roger Stone. Roger, it's excellent, as always, to have you back with
00:14:01.140
us here on The Great America Show. President Trump in Michigan tonight. But he's got a little bit of
00:14:05.780
a problem. He's got this freak who wants him impeached. This guy right here.
00:14:10.140
This is Congressman Shri Tenedar. Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy.
00:14:17.000
But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling, that has to be the final straw. It's time we
00:14:24.780
impeached Donald J. Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed
00:14:32.520
to return and receive due process. Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution. He ignored the very
00:14:40.700
checks and balances that keep our democracy intact. I think that's enough, Roger. I don't know where
00:14:48.480
they find these people. That guy is kind of the Indian Al Green. I mean, first of all, he wasn't
00:14:56.980
illegally deported. He was legally deported. He is not a citizen of the United States. He's a citizen of
00:15:04.620
El Salvador. And he is most definitely a member of a violent criminal gang. What we have here in the
00:15:14.860
country is judicial tyranny. Unelected judges going far beyond their authority to try to stop the reform
00:15:25.100
agenda of a president. Yeah, it is a constitutional crisis. But check the Constitution, John. I don't see
00:15:31.540
the part where it says the judiciary is superior to the other two branches. Right. So, I mean,
00:15:38.420
it is a little hard to understand. There is no grounds to impeach Donald Trump. That guy just got
00:15:45.700
his 15 minutes. He is going to give rise to 100 Saturday Night Live skits. But Donald Trump is not
00:15:53.860
going to be impeached anytime soon. Why can't they find a normal looking person, Roger? I'm not just
00:15:59.860
saying because he's Indian. He's just a weird dude. I mean, none of these people in the Democratic
00:16:05.700
Party like the Republicans are just as bad. I mean, we have our own full of weirdos, Roger. But
00:16:11.060
I mean, first, it's Al Green. Then you've got this guy. I mean, who's next? Is it going to be the
00:16:17.300
transgender from Delaware? It's it's mind blowing to me. So Donald Trump's in Michigan tonight, which
00:16:22.020
folks, by the way, if you keep it here after the show, we'll we'll be bringing you the rally right
00:16:26.300
here on this channel in Michigan tonight to talk about his first 100 days. How do you think
00:16:33.100
would would you grade his first 100 days in office? Are you underwhelmed, overwhelmed your thoughts?
00:16:40.300
I would give him, you know, an A minus perhaps. Look, this is like turning around an ocean liner.
00:16:48.620
I think a lot of people are unrealistic about how much he is able to do virtually overnight.
00:16:56.220
But we we I do know this. When I went to buy eggs last Sunday, they were five dollars and 50 cents
00:17:03.660
a dozen. Last time I bought them, Joe Biden was president. They were eight dollars and 90 cents a
00:17:09.660
dozen. Gas prices are down. Interest rates are down. Inflation is actually holding steady while we've just had the
00:17:18.220
largest single increase in tariff revenue. Fifteen billion in April, projected to be even more in
00:17:26.780
March. So I recognize that people want want the president to do everything overnight. But I don't
00:17:37.100
think that is possible. That said, I've expressed here on this show my frustration with the fact that I
00:17:44.860
don't believe all the Kennedy assassination documents have been released. I think that there are deep
00:17:51.660
state actors who have withheld a lot of vital information. I now don't think all of the principal
00:17:59.020
documents, videos, audios and so on pertaining to the murder of Robert F. Kennedy have been released now
00:18:08.540
that I've seen what has been released. So just to give you a couple of examples where the president
00:18:14.060
has kept his his promise. But I do think that there are there are deep state bureaucrats who are trying
00:18:20.700
to thwart his endeavors. The most important thing I think we all understand will be the economy. And
00:18:29.420
Trump has a stunning, I would say, risky gambit here, where he is betting that he can use the cudgel of
00:18:44.140
sheriffs to get our many trading partners to give us a fair trading deal. But he also has to renew the tax
00:18:53.420
cuts in January. And we have to have very real spending reform, spending cuts. If nothing else,
00:19:02.140
Elon Musk has shown the way. Now, that's a lot to get done. But if the president does do it, I do think,
00:19:09.100
as he said in the campaign, the economy will be revitalized. The mainstream media and their Trump
00:19:18.300
derangement syndrome seems to be at an all time high. This White House correspondence dinner,
00:19:25.980
where everyone in the place collectively knew about the cognitive decline of Joe Biden, and all of them
00:19:32.380
hit it, covered it up. And then they gave an award to the one guy who had the cojones to write about it
00:19:38.860
as if they weren't complicit in the cover up. Absolutely unbelievable.
00:19:43.020
Just going back, you go to the grocery store and buying eggs. I can't picture Roger Stone walking
00:19:49.820
down the aisle of a grocery store throwing some yogurts in the cart, some eggs.
00:19:56.460
I've got to wear a pair of my hat and sunglasses. But yeah, I do it.
00:20:00.700
Oh, it's great. So he is running. So before I get into that, I want to discuss because I agree
00:20:08.860
with you wholeheartedly what you said, that he is one man and there's only so much he can do.
00:20:12.700
Right. There's things like trade agreements, Roger, which you can't fix overnight. OK,
00:20:17.260
because they're years of just garbage that our politicians have put us into.
00:20:21.740
There's manufacturers that have left America. That's not coming back overnight. It will with
00:20:25.980
due time, but not overnight. A stock market is going to take some time to rebound. OK,
00:20:30.140
but there are some things that you mentioned that can be done overnight. And it's not incumbent
00:20:34.460
upon President Trump because he's already ordered his Department of Justice, his attorney general,
00:20:39.740
to declassify it. Pam Bondi. OK, now there's so many people who are saying just give some time,
00:20:45.900
just give some time, just give some time. I agree with giving time, Roger, but we knew for four years
00:20:51.260
that we wanted the Epstein documents. We knew for four years that we wanted the JFK documents. We
00:20:55.420
knew for four. It's not even four years. We knew for eight years because Donald Trump wanted him out
00:20:58.940
the first time. The RFK and the list goes on and on and on. What is the holdup with Pam Bondi
00:21:05.340
that she can't seem to get on message with President Trump? You know, I honestly don't think that
00:21:11.340
because she's not well versed in this, she knows where all the documents are. There's an excellent
00:21:17.260
letter sent to her by Congressman Tim Burchett that outlined the fact that the president's
00:21:23.660
order pertained narrowly to the National Archives JFK assassination records collection. That's great,
00:21:32.860
but there are still documents at the FBI, at the IRS, at the CIA, the Department of State,
00:21:39.100
the Department of Defense. There are documents that we know that the Assassination Records Review Board,
00:21:46.860
not just documents, but also audios and videos that were reviewed by that governmental entity back in
00:21:53.180
the 90s that are not included in the material that has just been released. And then you'll remember
00:21:59.820
the House Select Committee on Assassinations, after doing an exhaustive investigation, concluded that
00:22:07.180
organized crime was deeply involved in John Kennedy's murder, yet none of the documents they have turned
00:22:13.820
over would indicate that or reflect that. So, look, I think Anna Paulina Luna has done a good job,
00:22:21.260
but I do think she has to keep pushing because everything is not out there. And as far as Epstein is
00:22:28.300
concerned, this is interesting to me because I interviewed Virginia Giffray. I have 12 hours of audio tape.
00:22:36.620
I interviewed her for my 2015 book, The Clinton's War on Women. If you go to that book, John,
00:22:43.820
the longest chapter in the book is the expose on Jeffrey Epstein. After Nick Bryant, an investigative
00:22:51.580
journalist, I was probably the second author in the country to fully expose what Epstein was doing. I read
00:23:00.380
every bit of Virginia Giffray's sworn testimony. In all honesty, I find it very hard to believe
00:23:09.020
that she committed suicide. Yeah. And it's it's not just her. I mean, you've got this other girl
00:23:14.300
that has come out. You've got Epstein himself. How many more people need to drop dead? How many more
00:23:19.580
people need to get hit by a car? And that's very literally because a month ago, Virginia Giffray was
00:23:24.780
hit by a bus. How many more people need to hang themselves in their own cell with nobody watching,
00:23:31.340
with no cameras on, with no guards in sight before we get the news? And the interesting thing apart
00:23:36.940
about it, Roger, we spoke about this last week with regard to somebody else. It wasn't about Epstein.
00:23:41.740
It was about somebody else being a rat snitching and getting no jail time. But Jelaine Maxwell sitting
00:23:48.620
in a jail cell right now. Right. What I was told, Roger, was they have so much information on Jeffrey
00:23:53.580
Epstein that they didn't even need Jelaine Maxwell to flip. They didn't need her testimony. They
00:23:58.460
didn't need anything, which is why no plea deal was cut, which is why she's still sitting in jail.
00:24:03.020
That troubles me. Does it not trouble you? Well, you know, I think the real problem here is not
00:24:08.220
Pam Bondi. I think the real problem here is the Southern District of New York. That U.S. Attorney's
00:24:14.220
District thinks that they are a law unto themselves. Even though the president has fired the people at the
00:24:21.660
top and recently appointed Jay Clayton as the interim U.S. attorney, virtually everyone below
00:24:29.340
him is a hardcore partisan Trump hater. It's going to be very interesting, for example, to see whether
00:24:36.780
they honor this memo from the Justice Department that lays out the guidelines as to how certain
00:24:44.060
cryptocurrency cases that were brought by the Biden administration but will not be brought by the
00:24:51.340
Trump administration are handled. That place needs to be cleaned out. I suspect the holdup lies in New
00:24:59.340
York, not in Washington, when it comes to the Epstein material. And then, John, in all honesty,
00:25:05.260
they got from Epstein's home in New York, from his island, the Little St. James and the Virgin
00:25:12.940
Islands, from his apartment in Paris, from his ranch in New Mexico, hard drives and DVDs. But why do we
00:25:21.100
believe that those still are in existence? Why do we believe that those who were very powerful in two
00:25:26.940
two previous administrations who had a great interest in that material and never seeing the
00:25:32.860
light of day didn't have it destroyed? But wouldn't it be in Pam Bondi's best interest,
00:25:38.460
Roger, to come out and blow the whistle and say, we got here. There's no tapes. We know there was 15
00:25:43.900
gigabytes on this hard drive. We know there was this taken out of here. It's not here. It's nowhere to be
00:25:48.620
found. Wouldn't it be in her best interest to be transparent with the American people after promising the
00:25:53.100
world and delivering a stale piece of bread and say, this is where we're at right now? There's
00:25:59.820
nothing national security about this. Now, I understand there's some situations where you need
00:26:03.740
to to act in silence. Everyone's dead, Roger. Everyone's dead. I mean, who are they protecting?
00:26:09.660
Well, first of all, we don't know that there's no national security issues because when
00:26:14.780
that we know of when. Yeah. Well, let me say this. When Alberto Acosta,
00:26:21.100
the U.S. attorney for Miami, who basically rubber stamped Epstein's state conviction on
00:26:29.820
on sex crimes after pleading them way, way down, the state attorney did, when Acosta was appointed
00:26:37.900
labor secretary and those preparing him for his confirmation hearings, asked him what he was going
00:26:45.020
to say if he was asked in the hearings why he had essentially given Epstein a slap out of the wrist.
00:26:52.060
He said, well, I'm going to tell the truth, which was he was working for the CIA and that's what I was
00:26:56.700
told to do. So that would indicate that there are perhaps national security issues, but that's not a
00:27:03.420
reason not to release this material. John, if you go to my 1950, 2015 book, the man, pardon me,
00:27:11.820
the Clinton's war on women. There's more information there that has been released by the Justice
00:27:18.140
Department. That's the problem we have in this country, Rogers. Nobody wants to tell the truth.
00:27:22.860
I want to turn to Roger, the Republicans as a whole. We're finding out this week that Rand Paul
00:27:34.700
in the Senate is very against Trump's tariffs. He's so much against them that he wants them to make an
00:27:39.420
embarrassment of Donald Trump and an embarrassment of the Republican Party and get votes. And he
00:27:43.900
apparently has the votes in the Senate right now. Get the votes in the Senate to repeal Donald Trump's
00:27:48.380
tariffs. Now, there's one problem. And Rand Paul knows this because he's a constitutionalist.
00:27:51.740
Donald Trump could go ahead and veto that. Why even cause this upfighting in the Republican Party
00:27:57.820
and embarrass ourselves? Well, first of all, there has been a schism between Senator Paul and the
00:28:04.160
president for some time, even after Mitch McConnell threw in the towel and endorsed Donald Trump for the
00:28:10.900
2024 nomination. Rand Paul did not. I understood that he told the president that there were conditions
00:28:19.880
for his endorsement. At that point, Trump had the nomination wrapped up. I don't think he was going
00:28:26.300
to be nominated or elected because of the endorsement of Rand Paul. So, look, I think maybe for him,
00:28:33.000
it is a matter of principle. I understand that, but it is not helpful to the country. And you're right.
00:28:38.860
This is Donald Trump's Republican Party. This is no longer the party of Wall Street or the financial
00:28:45.560
elites or the billionaires. This is the party of working people. And Trump is committed to bringing
00:28:52.000
manufacturing and jobs back to this country. And that means we must have the ability to sell our
00:28:58.220
products abroad. The people get it. The other thing that's going on here, John, that's interesting,
00:29:04.040
is amazingly the same polls that told us that Kamala Harris was going to beat Donald Trump are now
00:29:12.720
telling us that Donald Trump is unpopular with the American people. Please give me a break. This is
00:29:19.560
yet another psyop. You know, as well as I do, that any poll can be manipulated by the wording of the
00:29:28.800
question, by the order of the question, by the size of the sample. I just don't put much stock in it.
00:29:35.780
The surveys I have looked at, particularly surveys by Tony Fabrizio, who I have enormous respect for,
00:29:43.360
and John McLaughlin, for that matter, show that the president's doing just fine. He's taking a lot of
00:29:50.260
attacks from the mainstream media. And I think to the extent that there is any dip in his support,
00:29:56.420
it's understandable. He's in the middle of a fight. And there's a huge amount of disinformation.
00:30:02.920
Oh, he's shipping this Maryland man illegally to El Salvador. No, he's not a Maryland man. He's an
00:30:10.760
El Salvador resident. This is insanity. Yeah, I'm gonna actually pull up some of those approval
00:30:16.540
polls because we I was talking about them yesterday with my friend Mark Mitchell. I have on the show
00:30:21.640
pretty often. It's unbelievable to believe that this is what these people think. And just looking
00:30:29.260
over some of these polls, you've got NPR Marist lied, Roger, in the 2024 election. They lied in the
00:30:35.460
2020 election. ABC Washington Post, they lied the entire election. They came out a week before the
00:30:40.300
election. They put out a new poll. CNN, the same thing. New York Times, CNN, Roger. If you ever have
00:30:45.620
some fun time, go back and look at their 2020 polling, their final polling, Roger, they had
00:30:51.080
Biden winning Michigan by 11 or 12 points. I mean, they missed Roger by eight, nine points. That's no
00:30:58.560
accident. So I want to go down to two particular polls, because these are two people who got 2024,
00:31:05.480
either spot on or within the margin of error within point five. And it's Qantas Insights,
00:31:11.540
who I met the fellow who does the polling. Very nice, honest guy. And Rasmussen polls,
00:31:16.300
Mark Mitchell. They have President Trump's approval at 47, 48. RMG, also another one at 49. Yet you
00:31:22.860
have all these other people, Roger. Why have they still not learned their lesson with lying to the
00:31:27.940
American people? Nobody buys their BS anymore. Nobody buys the bunkum that Donald Trump is underwater
00:31:33.700
in any sense of the imagination to put Fox News. Why would they do this to themselves, Roger,
00:31:40.000
and embarrass themselves? Because it is it is part of their effort to mislead the American people.
00:31:46.660
Polls have a great tradition. But with the advent of the cell phone in the computer, you know,
00:31:55.260
in the beginning, pollsters had to go to the door. Gallup and Harris had to go to the door of the people
00:32:02.360
they were polling. Now you have to get, to be accurate, the right mix of internet respondees,
00:32:10.180
cell phone respondees, personal respondees. It's a much more complicated science. And I think with
00:32:18.460
the general distrust of politicians, politics, government institutions, there are a lot of people
00:32:26.580
who love Donald Trump. We're not going to tell that to a pollster. They're just they don't want
00:32:31.680
to be harassed. They don't want to be hassled. They certainly don't want to be targeted.
00:32:36.960
Yeah, when they call me, Roger, which I get a call every now and then, I lie. I tell them I'm a
00:32:41.760
Hispanic female. I'm 50 over 55 years old. So I'm probably part of the problem. But I'm not playing
00:32:47.760
their bullshit, because I know it's a lie anyway. And the craziest part about it all, Roger, that nobody
00:32:52.520
questions is there's something called cross tabs, which you know, in there, and it's how you got your
00:32:56.120
information. None of them ever released it. So they can literally just plug and play whatever
00:33:00.400
numbers they want. What I was told is all it has to do is equal 100%, which is even for a Democrat,
00:33:06.680
not very hard to do. You know, this new New York Times poll shows that 37% of the people voted for
00:33:12.260
Donald Trump in the poll. So therefore, de facto, the survey is incorrect. Yeah, yeah, you would think
00:33:19.560
that enough with the lies in the seat. Let's turn to what happened in Canada last night.
00:33:26.180
choosing to go further Marxist, further socialist. And that's what Donald Trump called for. You know,
00:33:30.280
I was talking with someone last night after the election. They said Donald Trump screwed this
00:33:33.740
thing up. We could have had a conservative in there. And Donald Trump said it perfectly right.
00:33:38.440
He didn't want to deal with a conservative. He wants to deal with someone that we're going to get a deal
00:33:41.700
done through and a conservative, you know, would be, you know, just a piece of a milk toast. Whereas
00:33:47.740
a liberal socialist, he's going to go to war with and he's probably going to win.
00:33:54.440
Well, first of all, Canada is very much like the United States in the sense that their conservative
00:34:00.360
party, there's nothing conservative about their conservative party. So those would be the rhinos
00:34:07.440
in our system. Doug Ford is not in any way a conservative. I think Pierre Povert is, he's
00:34:17.160
interesting, he's very funny. But let's also point out that internet and broadcast censorship
00:34:24.400
is far greater in Canada than in the United States, as in many states, countries in the world.
00:34:33.040
We have one broadcast entity. It's the government. It would be like if we just had PBS, for example.
00:34:41.020
And internet censorship is much, much more aggressive, very much like it was back in 2020
00:34:47.680
during that election. So I think that played a major role in the outcome of this election.
00:34:55.360
I also think candidly, Donald Trump's trolling the Canadians. It is understanding how that
00:35:02.620
understandable how that might upset some Canadians, but to blame the loss on Donald Trump, I think it's
00:35:09.680
a bit much. One correction there, Roger, you said Canadians and Americans are Canadian. Canada
00:35:15.820
and America is very like, there's one difference. The men are not the same. There's a, I don't think
00:35:21.600
there's a sense of any alpha in, in that country. And I say this, my brother-in-law is from Canada
00:35:26.480
and I tell him the same exact thing. No, no, they're, they're brittle, they're weak, they're
00:35:30.900
effeminate. I mean, there's nothing worse than a Canadian liberal. I mean, it could be, they don't
00:35:34.960
have their, they don't have a military. None of them go to the military to, to, to man up. You know,
00:35:40.520
I don't know what it is, but there's this sort of a, this, and I get this from like 99% of Canadians.
00:35:46.380
There's this passive aggressiveness in them where they want to kill you, but they'll never
00:35:51.260
tell you they want to kill you because they're terrified. They want to kill you. That's what I
00:35:55.800
get from it. But so do you think now with Donald Trump negotiating with this socialist, we get
00:36:03.600
something done because we already see now, Roger, over in Asia, apparently Donald Trump and Xi Jinping
00:36:09.380
are supposed to meet in May. He's working a deal with Japan. They have a framework for a deal in
00:36:13.820
India. Everything is coming together, right? And this is faster than I could have ever imagined
00:36:18.180
with the major countries, right? We really only need to make deals in my opinion with
00:36:23.720
Canada, with China, China. I don't care. Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, and India. And if the European
00:36:31.340
union wants to play ball, come on and play ball. If you don't eat the tariffs. And most of those
00:36:36.860
countries I just named, he's already has framework in place, Roger. And this is like less than a
00:36:43.280
Also Mexico, where the Mexicans have essentially folded. The president put this best the other day
00:36:50.620
when he said, there's really nothing in Canada that we need. We can build our own cars here. We
00:36:56.220
don't need Canada. That's a pretty strong position to go into the negotiation with. I think they need
00:37:02.480
us more than we need them. Look, I actually don't think Trump likes tariffs. I think he likes using
00:37:08.800
them as a club. If he could have zero tariffs across the board, that would be his preference. I mean,
00:37:14.260
I think he is actually at heart, he's a free trader, but we haven't had free trade in this country for 100
00:37:20.560
years. What we have are these big, one-size-fits-all international trade deals, which seem to be highly
00:37:29.340
beneficial for our trading partners, but not very beneficial for us.
00:37:33.960
Yeah. As Lou Dobbs used to say, free trade is just a term that's used as a guise for them to
00:37:39.760
screw us over. It's fair trade is what we need. And like you just said, there's nations where we're
00:37:46.960
not buying as much as they're buying and vice versa. Canada is one of them. Vietnam is another one. For
00:37:53.260
every $1 they spend, we spend $15. So there's situations, Roger, where you're not going to be
00:38:00.040
able to balance it out completely, but you need to make it make sense, in my opinion.
00:38:11.680
I want to turn to Roger Tish James. If you have an update for us, last time you and I sat down,
00:38:19.700
we made some news. We spoke about some Republicans, and we're going to get to that because I got so
00:38:25.620
much hate, Roger, after you and I sat down in Florida last week for talking about, what's his
00:38:32.680
name down in Florida? Ron DeSantis in Florida for talking about Steve Bannon. And I simply came on
00:38:37.360
the show the next day, Roger. People were writing hate mails to me telling me they'll never tune in
00:38:41.060
again. And I said to the audience, I said, very respectfully, if you don't think it's incumbent
00:38:46.680
upon me as a journalist to cover that Steve Bannon was prepping Jeffrey Epstein for depositions,
00:38:53.320
or recorded a 15-hour film with him for depositions, then this is not the show for you.
00:38:58.280
If you don't think it's incumbent upon me to speak about Ron DeSantis transferring $10 million in
00:39:02.840
Florida state funds to his wife's charity, then this is not the show for you. This is about truth,
00:39:07.240
justice, and the American way. I don't care if you're Republican or not. I don't protect pedophiles.
00:39:11.560
I don't protect crooks. It's not the show for you. So that's what I pretty much came out here and
00:39:16.040
said the next day, because that's what it is, Roger. I care about truth, justice, and the American way.
00:39:21.020
I don't give a shit about Republicans or Democrats at the end of the day. I'm an American and I'm
00:39:26.560
Well, as you know, Letitia James has retained Abby Lowell. I'm familiar with Mr. Lowell. He
00:39:34.880
represented former New York Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, who was a great man and a very good friend
00:39:42.200
of mine. Bruno was, I think, wrongfully charged with corruption. He was convicted on all counts with
00:39:48.320
Abby Lowell as his lawyer. Then when the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that conviction, strangely
00:39:55.280
enough, the Justice Department decided to retry him. He fired Abby Lowell, hired a pit bull local
00:40:02.960
criminal defense attorney in Albany, and he was acquitted on all charges. I have here Abby Lowell's
00:40:09.900
letter to the Justice Department, which he thoughtfully gave to the New York Times. And he actually
00:40:15.580
says that these discrepancies, these falsehoods, these problems with her various mortgages,
00:40:27.180
acts that you and I would go to jail for, if we did, that they are political retribution.
00:40:34.540
They quote Trump as saying, I am your warrior. I am your justice. I am your retribution. If you go
00:40:40.580
after me, I'm coming after you. Letitia James ran for attorney general on a platform of putting
00:40:47.640
Donald Trump in jail before she had identified any crime by Donald Trump. And then she had to invent
00:40:53.840
two crimes by Donald Trump. The idea under a law that had never been used before, that Trump inflated
00:41:02.420
his assets in order to get commercial real estate loans, all of which he paid back on time.
00:41:10.140
And the lenders made $40 million in interest. And every one of them said they would do the deal
00:41:16.240
again tomorrow. That's what they tried him for. Now, she, I think, if you want to be clear about this,
00:41:23.740
no, these, these, these, these claims are not trivial. Uh, I learned about them by going to
00:41:30.100
whitecollarfraud.com, whitecollarfraud.com. All of the actual documents are there. You can look for
00:41:37.940
yourself. I saw Errol Lewis on New York one saying that this was trivial. This was insignificant,
00:41:45.720
uh, that, that Letitia James did nothing wrong. The last politician he said that about was Elliot
00:41:52.340
Spitzer. Oh no, no. For those folks not living in New York one, I spent a fair amount of time there
00:41:59.080
working for New York politicians. I mean, it's a fraud operation. It's a very, uh, terrible place
00:42:04.920
for local news. Errol Lewis. I don't know if you know this, uh, Roger, but he used to be a daily
00:42:09.980
news columnist and he was on Lou Dobbs, his show like once or twice a week. Lou actually liked this
00:42:15.280
guy. I got to know Errol and I'm like, Lou, you don't really like Errol. And it was before he got
00:42:20.040
decided he wanted to be a political justice warrior. I mean, it's, it's, it's a total disgrace
00:42:24.980
that we can't get fair news. What they did to Donald Trump, they had no problem reporting it,
00:42:29.660
right? The guys are convicted felon, mugshot him, fingerprint them, put it up everywhere,
00:42:33.860
but they don't, I don't see this story covered anywhere, Roger. I see it in the New York post.
00:42:39.000
Um, I see it on the gateway pundit, but that's about it. Nobody's reporting on it. The double standard
00:42:45.060
in this country is beyond laughable, Roger. Well, you have a couple other things here. There
00:42:49.960
is a pending lawsuit, uh, in which a state employee claims that the teacher James chief of staff
00:42:57.020
sexually assaulted her, uh, and that James, uh, turned a blind eye to it. Now, recently the appeals
00:43:05.500
court, all Democrats, uh, separated, uh, James from that case. The case goes forward, but James
00:43:13.720
was dropped from it. Uh, the woman's lawyer tells me that's going to be appealed. Now, isn't this
00:43:20.160
exactly what she took Andrew Cuomo out for? And by the way, I have reason to believe that this is not
00:43:26.320
the only example of recovering up sexual harassment and assault. Uh, we also have the issue of the
00:43:34.340
financing of her campaign for attorney general. Now it takes an enormous amount of work. We're,
00:43:39.720
we're fully aware of the act blue scandal, the burgeoning act blue scandal. Uh, but I think
00:43:47.300
what you're going to find when all the research is done is that Letitia James took in millions of
00:43:53.080
dollars from donors who either don't really exist or who tell you they didn't give to Letitia James
00:44:00.860
and they don't know what you're talking about. So, uh, I think these mortgage issues, all of which
00:44:06.100
are quite serious, all of which would send you or I to jail if we did them, uh, that's just the tip
00:44:12.540
of the iceberg. Jail, forget about it. Roger, you'd be sent to the electric chair. Roger Stone's a
00:44:18.160
mortgage frauder. He's a insurance frauder. They'd come and come to your house at six o'clock in the
00:44:23.940
morning. Uh, they'd scare your wife. I mean, what they did to you, they don't do to anybody else,
00:44:30.720
right? Letitia James, I hope to high heavens that this woman gets the book thrown at her, but
00:44:36.300
do I have confidence in the justice system? Absolutely not. Because we have no reason to
00:44:40.640
believe that anybody other than Roger Stone or Paul Manafort or Peter Navarro gets the book thrown
00:44:47.300
at them, Roger. Well, we saw Andrew McCabe on CNN this week, or maybe it was MSN saying that it was
00:44:55.580
outrageous, uh, that the Trump justice department and ice did not extend a courtesy to the judge
00:45:02.680
who was trying to help, uh, an illegal, uh, immigrant escape. What kind of courtesy did they
00:45:09.820
extend to my, uh, my, uh, hearing impaired wife who, who woke up on January 25th, 2019, looking down the
00:45:18.900
barrel of two polio automatic assault weapons. What kind of courtesy was extended to me? I was charged
00:45:25.460
wrongfully, uh, with a first time nonviolent process crime. Uh, normally in such situations,
00:45:32.340
you would contact my lawyer. In fact, uh, Robert Mueller's office spoke to my attorney the day
00:45:37.580
before we turned over 30 pages of text messages that essentially proved that I was telling the truth
00:45:43.080
and that their indictment was a piece of crap. Uh, but rather than say, by the way, you're, we're
00:45:49.020
charging your client tomorrow. He should turn himself in. They staged this elaborate 1.1 million
00:45:55.360
dollar rate. So what kind of courtesy was I afforded? It's outrageous. Yeah, it's, it's pathetic,
00:46:03.180
but it's nice to see though, that this is the retribution that Donald Trump spoke about Roger.
00:46:07.560
And this is the retribution that I'm happy that we're seeing, uh, going after people who actually
00:46:12.460
committed crimes, teach the Letitia James actually committed a crime. This judge in, uh, Wisconsin
00:46:18.440
actually committed a crime. This is the kind of retribution that, that the American people wanted.
00:46:23.700
The Democrats are kings and queens at gaslighting, Roger. Uh, and Americans have had enough of it.
00:46:29.900
They've had enough of the lies. They've had enough of the, of the deceit, um, of what they've done.
00:46:35.000
Before we wrap up here, I want to get your take on this and see if you can confirm or deny.
00:46:39.580
Somebody sent me this picture that you were in Italy last week. Is this you? Is this somebody else?
00:46:46.420
Is this a deep fake, Roger? Uh, uh, AI is a great thing, isn't it? Uh, no, look, I've written a couple
00:46:52.660
of, uh, analysis pieces, uh, you know, kind of handicapping the horse race for Pope because anyone
00:47:00.200
who thinks this isn't political doesn't get it. I have a new, I have a second one publishing today.
00:47:05.800
I did, I've done two so far. Uh, and there are developments, for example, uh, uh, uh, Cardinal
00:47:12.200
Pizza Bala of, uh, who has the, uh, uh, heads of the church in Jerusalem. He's kind of emerging now
00:47:18.700
as a dark horse. Uh, my first choice would be Cardinal Sarah, uh, or Cardinal Erdo from, uh, uh,
00:47:26.320
from Hungary. It's going to be very, very difficult, John, because Pope Francis, a globalist,
00:47:31.780
uh, who reached accommodation with the communist Chinese party. He actually let the Chinese
00:47:37.520
communist party have veto power over who could be a bishop or a priest in China. Now I think
00:47:44.960
accommodation with evil is evil. The Chinese communist regime is probably the most brutal and vicious in
00:47:53.340
the history of the world. They, they kill people who practice a certain type of, uh, Buddhism called
00:47:59.980
Falun Gong and they harvest their organs. Uh, that's the kind of evil we're talking about. Uh, also,
00:48:07.060
uh, he accepted, uh, he, the Pope accepted a, uh, a crucifix, uh, with the hammer and sickle on it,
00:48:15.880
uh, from, I think it was, uh, the Pope, uh, in Australia. Uh, he brought back pedophiles like, uh,
00:48:24.100
uh, Cardinal, uh, McCarrick, uh, who was completely discredited, but then the, the Pope brought him
00:48:31.360
back as a special counselor to Pope Francis. Uh, he was ultimately defrocked when the evidence
00:48:39.300
of his, uh, uh, pedophilic activities became so bad that they couldn't keep him.
00:48:44.960
The problem was Roger, his pedophilia. I, I did a lot of research on this guy who's now dead,
00:48:49.820
by the way, uh, that goes back to 1980, Roger. He let this guy hang around for 40 years
00:48:57.580
after allegations of pedophilia. I mean, a friend of Joe Biden, how do you let that happen?
00:49:04.200
Well, and he is a Pope Francis never denounced the mass murder of Christians in Syria. He's had no
00:49:12.120
criticism of radical Islam. Let's be very clear. The precept of their religion is that we must all be
00:49:19.640
killed because we don't agree with them. How do you reach accommodation with such people? How do you
00:49:24.940
say that that's a religion of peace? Because it isn't, uh, look, I grew up in the church of
00:49:30.620
Fulton Sheen and, and, uh, uh, when the Catholic church was a bulk work of anti-communism, uh, and, uh,
00:49:39.800
the, the, uh, uh, the key role the Catholic church played in Russia, in China, in Poland. Um,
00:49:47.440
now it has become just a globalist, uh, uh, front, uh, and, um, it is true that Pope, uh, uh,
00:50:00.080
Francis appointed 80% of the cardinals who will be voted. So, uh, I would like to be more optimistic
00:50:08.060
that we could elect a more traditionalist or conservative Pope, uh, but I think the odds are
00:50:14.360
against it. And lastly, I still, among those who believe that the resignation of Pope Benedict was
00:50:22.520
extraordinarily suspicious. He resigned for reasons of health and then he lived for 10 more years.
00:50:29.560
So I think he was forced out. Uh, I questioned whether Pope Francis was legitimate from the
00:50:35.760
beginning, but he's, he denounced private property rights. He embraced Marxism. Sorry, this is not my
00:50:42.100
Catholic church. I think you could have a schism in the church. This could become known historically
00:50:47.840
as the period of two popes. We shall see. Yeah. I was born, raised a Catholic. Roger received all
00:50:53.880
my sacraments, but I, uh, over the last few years have grown away from the Catholic church and really,
00:50:58.640
uh, want no part of it, no piece of it. Uh, the fact that the pedophilia thing, Roger, to me,
00:51:03.780
it really, uh, doesn't sit right. Anyone who protects pedophiles, anyone who inhibits pedophiles,
00:51:08.700
anyone who allows that garbage, uh, is the devil in my opinion. And the opinion of most people,
00:51:14.340
especially the victims. And it's just disgusting that the Catholic church has allowed this, this
00:51:19.620
stuff to happen, um, under our, um, watchful eye. You're absolutely right. Uh, on the resignation of
00:51:26.400
the last Pope, he knew something, he saw something, he didn't like something and he was going to say
00:51:31.300
something and he got the hell out of there. He was pushed out of there. Uh, and then they somehow
00:51:36.180
bring in this guy, Roger, who's this globalist socialist. Now I don't want to talk bad about
00:51:40.420
the dead, but it's what it was. Uh, he wanted open borders except for the Vatican. Judgment on
00:51:46.880
Pope Francis has moved up to a much, much higher authority than you and I, John. Yep. You're
00:51:52.420
absolutely right. Roger, before we wrap up, uh, president Trump taking the stage in just a few
00:51:56.660
moments here, as I said, we're going to be carrying the rally right here, uh, on this channel. Uh,
00:52:01.600
the link is in the, uh, the comment section. Um, what do you expect to hear out of president
00:52:06.320
Trump in just a few moments as he rallies folks in, in Michigan on his first hundred days in office?
00:52:12.860
Does he take aim at anybody specifically? Maybe your good friend, JDB Pritzker, who's been out on
00:52:18.020
the trail lately. Let me know. This guy is so fat when he walks down the street, the cops say,
00:52:24.400
break it up. I mean, it's just, it's, it's beyond belief. And frankly, if any Republican
00:52:30.760
said what he said this week, uh, visiting New Hampshire, where he evidently thinks he's a
00:52:36.700
potential presidential candidate, if any Republican said, we can't give these Republicans a moment of
00:52:43.680
peace, essentially calling for insurrection. Uh, I remember after January 6th, if in a speech,
00:52:50.640
you use the word fight as in fight for America, fight for freedom, you were accused of fomenting
00:52:57.040
violence. Uh, I think Pritzker, uh, I think he advocated violence. I think he advocated sedition.
00:53:04.100
Of course he will not be held responsible. Uh, Trump, uh, I'll say this, he'll be funny that you do
00:53:12.660
know. He'll be entertaining and he'll be funny. Uh, he's going to talk about the, uh, the, both the
00:53:18.700
high points of the first hundred days, but he's also, I think, could be quite honest about the
00:53:23.160
challenges that lie ahead. The most important thing about this rally, my opinion is his safety
00:53:29.480
at the rally. That's the most important thing I pray over. Yeah. Especially Roger. The fact that
00:53:35.840
we still don't know anything about the two shooters of president Trump, uh, the silver lining and J.B.
00:53:41.100
Pritzker running for president Rogers, they get them the hell out of Illinois. I hope, uh, that
00:53:46.260
someone like Rod Blagojevich decides to look at taking a run at something once again, because,
00:53:52.240
uh, of what they did to him. Not enough people, I got to actually call him. Not enough people know
00:53:56.720
about what they did to him. Um, that guy needs a second chance and he's got. Right now, John,
00:54:01.940
it would actually require a law. So they passed a law in Illinois. They said convicted felons can run
00:54:10.020
for public office unless their name is Rod Blagojevich, in which case they cannot. I kid you
00:54:16.140
not. No, I know. And that's what I'm saying. If anyone didn't realize, you know, Roger, real
00:54:21.060
quickly, when I remember that whole trial playing out, uh, when I was young, I was young at the time,
00:54:26.560
but I remember seeing Rod on TV and he looked like, uh, like a villain out of a, out of a movie.
00:54:32.060
And I'm like, this guy's guilty as hell. I mean, just look at him. He's guilty as hell.
00:54:35.980
And it wasn't up until a few years ago where I read into this thing, Roger. And I see that
00:54:40.660
in the first trial that, that he was, uh, that they had a hung jury on every count. And then 15
00:54:46.360
minutes later, they come back and do it. And I don't know if people know about what they did to
00:54:49.520
that man. Uh, he deserves a second chance at life. Uh, I agree entirely. First of all,
00:54:55.840
he's one of the most talented political leaders I've ever met. Uh, and try walking down the street
00:55:00.680
with him in Chicago. He's absolutely beloved. This is really simple. The government
00:55:05.380
claimed that they had a wire chapped audio tape of a conversation, which he solicited a bribe.
00:55:11.860
They never played the tape in court. Uh, his defense was quite simple. Roger's defense was
00:55:19.880
play the tape. If I said that play the tape, they managed to convict him without ever presenting him
00:55:26.680
with the evidence of his crime. It's really outrageous. It is the, probably the first example
00:55:32.120
of weaponization of the criminal justice system. Yep. I have a tremendous, uh, the first day I met
00:55:38.220
him, I introduced myself and he told me the first thing he said to me was he apologized for Lou's
00:55:42.820
passing. I was with Lou's wife at the time. And, uh, he said Lou Dobbs was Donald Trump before Donald
00:55:48.340
Trump was Donald Trump. And it gave me chills because you know, he's not the only person I've
00:55:52.300
said that Roger, you get the last word here as always. It's, it's, it's always fascinating and
00:55:57.480
a great deal of fun, uh, to talk with you on the show. By the way, this sits on my desk, Roger,
00:56:02.360
um, in my studio here every day. Now, uh, you get the last word here as we wrap up until next week.
00:56:10.600
Yeah. I made a few calls last night. This, this, uh, rampant rumor that Pete Hegseth is on the verge
00:56:17.900
of resigning. He's leaving. He's on his way out. That's complete bullshit. It's not true. Uh, and,
00:56:24.200
uh, I guess my other message to everybody out there is don't be a panic in the course.
00:56:31.740
