The StoneZONE with Roger Stone

00:00:00.000 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:00:14.620 People love him and respect him.

00:00:16.080 Roger Stone.

00:00:17.420 Now, get him his own.

00:00:19.260 It's the Stone Zone.

00:00:21.320 Here's Roger Stone.

00:00:24.160 You know, it always amazed me the way that mainstream media colluding with their Democrats

00:00:29.980 allies shut down any legitimate questions about the 2020 election.

00:00:36.360 They told us endlessly that more than 60 federal lawsuits filed by Donald Trump challenging

00:00:42.840 the 2020 election results had been decided against him, when in fact, that's entirely

00:00:49.460 false.

00:00:50.140 Virtually none of them were ever actually heard on the merits.

00:00:53.520 The evidence of voter fraud and irregularities is overwhelming.

00:00:59.420 But almost all of those cases were thrown out on some technicality.

00:01:05.100 And if you went on to social media and you expressed your First Amendment right to point

00:01:11.340 out, for example, that 205,000 more votes had been cast in the state of Pennsylvania than

00:01:17.220 were registered to vote, or that in the Keystone State, 1.5 million fraudulent votes were counted,

00:01:24.320 and that the statewide spread was less than 82,000 votes between Trump and Biden,

00:01:30.780 or that votes were counted in that 1.5 million included dead voters, ballots that were received

00:01:38.220 before they were supposedly mailed out, based on the postmarks, not possible.

00:01:42.520 330,000 electronic spikes in the voting machine, sudden increases for Joe Biden without explanation,

00:01:50.600 682 ballots that were illegally processed without any oversight whatsoever.

00:01:56.340 You would soon find yourself canceled.

00:01:59.520 And the media continue to insist, keep moving.

00:02:03.040 There's nothing there.

00:02:03.900 Clearly, Donald Trump is now committed to reexamining all the evidence of voter fraud, whether it

00:02:10.360 was in Pennsylvania or in Georgia, where last week the FBI raided a warehouse used by the

00:02:19.280 Fulton County Board of Elections.

00:02:21.420 This was after two formal requests from the Department of Justice for these records and a third request

00:02:27.280 from the FBI, ultimately the FBI moved in as part of a criminal probe to seize that material.

00:02:36.020 Present and overseeing that raid was the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,

00:02:42.400 and now she is setting the record straight after Democrats went crazy over the fact that she was present 0.93

00:02:48.320 at the FBI search of the Fulton County Election Hub in Georgia.

00:02:52.740 In a letter addressed to Congressional Intelligence Leaders Director Gabbard,

00:02:57.280 confirmed she attended the search at the direct instruction of President Donald Trump,

00:03:03.020 but emphasized that neither she nor the president issued any directives to agents.

00:03:07.960 White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt confirmed that this was the case during a press

00:03:12.840 conference on Tuesday.

00:03:14.540 Leavitt said Tulsi Gabbard has been tapped by the President of the United States to oversee

00:03:19.480 the sanctity and security of our American elections.

00:03:22.160 She's working directly alongside the FBI Director, Kash Patel.

00:03:25.680 This is a coordinated whole-of-government effort to ensure that our elections, again,

00:03:30.780 are fair and transparent moving forward.

00:03:33.380 There is nothing wrong with the president tasking a cabinet member with an issue that most Americans

00:03:38.120 want to see solved.

00:03:39.280 Maybe you don't, but I know many Americans do want to make sure our elections are protected,

00:03:44.260 and that is what Tulsi Gabbard has been directed to do.

00:03:47.020 Gabbard's role, she explained in a letter herself, fell well with under her statutory authority

00:03:53.100 to coordinate intelligence tied to election security, an issue that patriots have been

00:03:58.760 demanding be addressed before what I think was the dubious and illegitimate 2020 election.

00:04:05.860 The idea that Joe Biden, a candidate who was a veritable vegetable, got 81 million votes

00:04:10.940 is not plausible.

00:04:11.940 The idea that he ran an average of 20% stronger in the African-American precincts in Detroit

00:04:18.200 and Philadelphia and Milwaukee and Miami is not likely, given the historical nature of Obama,

00:04:28.220 regardless of what you may think of him.

00:04:30.480 So Gabbard is reportedly looking at both sides of the election equation.

00:04:37.020 In other words, she is examining the security and the reliability and the manipulability of

00:04:46.300 electronic voting machines.

00:04:48.380 There is substantial evidence.

00:04:51.380 It's interesting the extent to what AI goes to try to debunk this without foundation, that

00:04:57.140 both the Venezuelan company, Systematic Dominion, as well as Chinese actors working through a

00:05:05.340 company called Connect, may have been directly involved in changing votes in the electronic

00:05:11.560 voting machines.

00:05:12.920 But also, mail-in ballots have to be examined.

00:05:15.860 Bill Barr, of all people, who was the attorney general, said in an interview with Wolf Blitzer

00:05:22.460 on CNN that mail-in ballots were an invitation for fraud.

00:05:26.760 But then later, when the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia told Attorney General Barr that he had very substantial

00:05:33.380 evidence of election fraud in multiple counties in Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia County,

00:05:40.360 Delaware County, and others, he was told to kill the case.

00:05:46.020 So this is going to be a complete re-examination.

00:05:49.700 The FBI obviously was operating under a lawful warrant, and at the scene, they seized boxes

00:05:55.560 containing ballots and election-related records from the heavily Democratic county.

00:06:00.000 The question now is, who in the government will examine that material?

00:06:04.980 The FBI is not expert on election technology, and it would be very useful if those who were

00:06:14.540 examined that evidence, in my view.

00:06:17.000 While critics have rushed to publicize this move, Director Gabbard pointed to credible intelligence,

00:06:22.780 indicating electronic voting machines have, in fact, been vulnerable, as I say, to exploitation,

00:06:27.740 raising the specter of potential foreign interest from countries like Venezuela and China,

00:06:33.280 and underscoring the urgent need to safeguard America's Democrat process.

00:06:37.400 Democrats, of course, immediately accuse us of election interference.

00:06:41.540 You see, that's the thing about the Marxists.

00:06:43.380 They all play by something called Alinsky's rule.

00:06:47.080 Saul Alinsky was a communist operative, provocateur, and troublemaker who said,

00:06:54.120 always accuse your opponent of exactly that which you yourself are doing.

00:06:59.120 The worst thing you are doing, accuse them of that.

00:07:02.200 They are the ones who have interfered in our election.

00:07:05.300 Democratic officials, including Tim Kaine, remember him?

00:07:08.100 He ran for vice president with Hillary Clinton, senator from Virginia.

00:07:11.800 He attacked Tulsi Gabbard, saying that her presence was somehow outside her purview.

00:07:19.660 But protecting elections from foreign manipulation has ramifications for the entire nation,

00:07:24.940 and is actually something, in my opinion, as it is hers, should be at the top of the intelligence

00:07:30.120 community's priority list.

00:07:31.500 There are certain elements within our government today who probably do not want to examine

00:07:37.620 whether these electronic voting systems can be manipulated because there's strong evidence

00:07:42.120 that some in the central intelligence agencies may have used them to manipulate elections abroad.

00:07:49.080 There may even be evidence that they were involved in the heist in 2020.

00:07:53.600 Director Gabbard has made it clear that she's not afraid to flout the supposed norms,

00:07:59.020 the deep state bureaucracy, in order to get answers.

00:08:02.300 Let's remember that it was Tulsi Gabbard, not the previous director of national intelligence,

00:08:08.200 John Ratcliffe, now the CIA director, who could have declassified the Russian collusion documents

00:08:15.080 at the end of President Trump's second term, did not do so.

00:08:18.600 Rick Grinnell got a lot of this information to the public by declassifying it as the acting

00:08:24.960 national security advisor, one of the greatest things that Rick ever did.

00:08:30.020 Rick is a patriot and a friend.

00:08:33.640 Director Gabbard clearly did very recently what Ratcliffe would not do in the first term,

00:08:40.960 which is to say declassify all of the records pertaining to the 2020 election and to examine them.

00:08:52.060 So I think that despite some bureaucratic roadblocks, Tulsi Gabbard is a woman of fortitude.

00:08:58.460 She's extraordinarily sure-footed.

00:09:01.620 She works well within the parameters of the law.

00:09:03.920 But she's a woman of action based on her performance in declassifying the Russian collusion hoax

00:09:09.380 and demonstrating to the American people that there was one seditious conspiracy, as she said,

00:09:16.320 run by Barack Obama that begins in July of 2016 in the Oval Office,

00:09:23.160 manifests itself in the spying on Donald Trump's campaign, the entire Russian collusion hoax,

00:09:28.380 the false elevation of the Steele dossier, which we learned last week was originally ironically paid for

00:09:34.920 by patrons for Marco Rubio and then resold to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

00:09:41.040 You've got to hand it to these guys at Fusion GPS.

00:09:43.300 They resold the same bogus dossier to two different quote-unquote clients.

00:09:50.440 Amazing that Marco Rubio, who also has a member of the Senate,

00:09:54.780 signed the Senate Intelligence Committee report that claimed Russian collusion.

00:09:59.240 That report, largely engineered by Senator Mark Warner, but also Trump-hater Richard Burr,

00:10:07.420 no longer in the Senate, didn't run for re-election because Trump would have taken him out,

00:10:12.060 claimed Russian collusion based on a pasted-together bunch of clippings,

00:10:17.180 several sections in there on me, all of them wrong.

00:10:19.920 When you ask them for the evidence, they say,

00:10:21.740 oh, well, the Huffington Post reported this, so that makes it a fact.

00:10:26.040 I kid you not.

00:10:29.800 You remember, Tosie Gabbard was stripped of her security clearances 0.99

00:10:34.840 when she spoke out against the Bidens and the Clintons.

00:10:39.100 She was put on a secret watch list.

00:10:41.080 This is a four-term Democrat member of Congress who is still a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard,

00:10:49.460 the U.S. Army.

00:10:50.980 She still does reserve duties to someone who served her country with distinction in Afghanistan.

00:10:58.840 So the president, in my opinion, has tapped the right person to look into this fraud.

00:11:04.000 Coming up a little bit later on the Stone Zone, I want to talk about my good friend,

00:11:10.240 the president of Argentina, Javier Millet,

00:11:14.400 who is turning that country away from authoritarian communism and socialism

00:11:20.060 because he correctly figured out that communism doesn't work,

00:11:23.740 and capitalism and austerity and cutting is working to turn around that nation.

00:11:29.920 They once called it the, Venezuela was considered the Paris of South America.

00:11:36.400 My good friend Javier Millet is returning to that country.

00:11:40.880 He's making Argentina great again.

00:11:43.600 Here to talk about it, Augustin Roma, who is a state congressman from the party of President Millet,

00:11:50.340 representing Buenos Aires province in Argentina.

00:11:53.320 He's also president of Labrador Avanza, pardon my Spanish, block in the Chamber of Deputies.

00:12:03.420 He's a hardline supporter of Javier Millet and a shrewd political analyst.

00:12:08.400 We'll talk about the situation in Argentina,

00:12:11.600 where you see this happening across South and Central America.

00:12:16.360 You saw it in Costa Rica yesterday.

00:12:18.700 You saw it in Honduras.

00:12:20.360 You saw it in Bolivia.

00:12:22.720 You saw it in Chile.

00:12:24.520 The forces of freedom are on the march.

00:12:27.500 You saw it in Panama.

00:12:29.620 The forces of freedom are on the march in this hemisphere.

00:12:32.440 And President Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have made it very clear

00:12:36.540 that they won't tolerate Marxist narco-terrorism in this hemisphere.

00:12:43.940 When they say that the Venezuelan action by Trump to arrest Maduro was all about oil,

00:12:49.960 they're not wrong.

00:12:51.220 The president has very wisely denied oil to Cuba and China.

00:12:55.820 This is brilliant.

00:12:57.120 So not only are we getting the oil, but our two deepest enemies,

00:13:02.140 the Chinese who were getting 80% of the Venezuelan production,

00:13:06.160 are denied this oil that they can't find elsewhere at this price.

00:13:10.840 It was being sold to them extraordinarily cheaply.

00:13:13.580 But it has also put extraordinary pressure on the Cuban regime.

00:13:18.180 Now, Mexico has at least temporarily, I think in violation of good faith of the United States, 0.88

00:13:25.000 Mexico is supplying oil to Cuba.

00:13:27.580 But this is a blow to the Cuban regime.

00:13:31.140 It's very clear that the New York Times is right when they reported months ago

00:13:34.580 that the dream of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is, let's face it, a new man.

00:13:39.460 I think we'll go down as one of the great secretaries of state, carrying out the plans of Donald Trump.

00:13:45.400 The dream is to bring the regime down.

00:13:48.220 And I think there have to be some very nervous people in Havana right now.

00:13:55.020 Meanwhile, they inaugurated Tito Asfura as the president of Honduras,

00:14:01.200 despite an attempt by Libre to somehow stall the results of that Democrat election.

00:14:07.040 That is good news.

00:14:08.200 There's still epic corruption in Guatemala.

00:14:10.860 I've written about it.

00:14:11.900 We're going to talk about it more, not today, but later on in the Stone Zone shows.

00:14:17.560 It is extraordinary the way democracy is on the march in this hemisphere

00:14:24.060 and how Donald Trump has taken what was the Monroe Doctrine and renamed it the Donro Doctrine.

00:14:31.640 We'll be right back.

00:14:33.820 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:14:37.100 And he's a great, great person.

00:14:39.400 Roger Stone.

00:14:41.140 The Stone Zone.

00:14:42.880 The Stone Zone.

00:14:43.240 This is the Stone Zone.

00:15:04.800 Now, get in the zone. 0.94

00:15:06.720 It's the Stone Zone.

00:15:08.240 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.

00:15:15.800 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:15:18.240 Roger Stone.

00:15:19.300 Where's Roger Stone?

00:15:20.540 Here's Roger Stone.

00:15:22.160 Well, well, former President Bill Clinton and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have agreed finally to testify before the House Oversight Committee answering a subpoena as part of its investigation into the sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

00:15:39.720 The agreement follows mounting pressure from the Congress, including the threat of a contempt proceeding, which would be voted on by the full House.

00:15:49.320 They were subpoenaed last August along with another of other high-profile figures.

00:15:56.580 Now, as we noted, when Peter Navarro refused to testify, he was arrested, he was put on trial, he did time.

00:16:05.420 So the question here is whether we have a two-tier justice system or a one-tier justice system.

00:16:10.300 I think Chairman Comer made it clear his patient was running thin and the Clintons realized the Republicans weren't kidding around.

00:16:16.740 But just to be clear, spokesman continues to insist falsely Clinton only flew on Epstein's plane for a few Clinton Foundation trips in the early 2000s.

00:16:25.580 In fact, the FAA records show him on the Lolita Express 27 times, one time when he went with Epstein to pick up a massive check from another well-known pedophile, the Sultan of Brunei and his brother, epically famous for their underage harem.

00:16:43.640 Epstein clearly both socialized and gave massive contributions for the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, Hillary's Senate campaign, Hillary's presidential campaigns up until he was busted again in 2019.

00:17:03.300 It's very dubious because in the emails and the photos that have been released, it's far more evident that the Clintons have greater culpability here.

00:17:16.920 The claim by Bill Clinton that he was never on the island is provably false based on the testimony of Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

00:17:26.060 Her sworn testimony testifies about seeing Bill on Epstein's, in Epstein's island at a party in which two 17-year-old twins had been flown in for Bill's amusement.

00:17:41.500 I'm glad to see the Republicans in the House showing some courage, some grit, and holding Bill and Hillary Clinton, the penicillin-resistant syphilis of the American body politic to justice. 0.59

00:17:55.900 I'm Roger Stone. I'll be right back.

00:17:58.160 This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:18:12.920 Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest political minds.

00:18:16.840 Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.

00:18:21.160 Now, get in the zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.

00:18:26.540 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:18:30.500 One of the world figures that I admire the most in the country is Javier, in the world, is Javier Malay, the president of Argentina,

00:18:39.320 who I finally, after a pen pal relationship on the Internet, who I finally met during President Trump's inauguration.

00:18:46.960 We became friendly originally on social media when he was just kind of thought to be an eccentric economist who understood the free market and the fact that communism and socialism had failed.

00:19:04.840 He used words about them that you can't use on a family radio show.

00:19:08.800 And he came out of nowhere to win the president of Argentina, defeating the Peronists. 0.95

00:19:16.080 Peronism is a political culture with both right and left wings.

00:19:20.660 It's kind of hard to explain.

00:19:22.500 A lot of people who claim that they were adherents to Juan Perón, the founder of Peronism, have wandered far from what he was.

00:19:30.560 Because ideologically, he was neither right nor left.

00:19:33.780 He kind of used techniques of both to govern.

00:19:36.680 And then after him, Peronism has a right and left wing.

00:19:40.400 But both of the Peronists drove the country economically into the ground. 1.00

00:19:45.160 They destroyed what was once the strongest economy in South America.

00:19:50.580 And Buenos Aires, which is a beautiful city, was considered the Paris of South America.

00:19:55.700 Now, under Javier Millet and his adherence to free market principles, Argentina is having a renaissance.

00:20:04.220 He is making Argentina great again.

00:20:07.160 With me today is one of his stoutest allies in the Congress there in Argentina.

00:20:15.800 He is Augustin Romo.

00:20:17.820 He's the state congressman for Buenos Aires province in Argentina.

00:20:21.760 He's also president, essentially, of La Libertad Avanza Bloc, which is kind of like our hard liners in the House.

00:20:34.140 And he's a very talented young political leader.

00:20:37.940 Many people think he'll be president of Argentina someday.

00:20:41.680 You know, with Jesus Christ, all things are possible.

00:20:45.040 But he's here to talk to me about Argentina.

00:20:47.600 Augustin, welcome and welcome into the Stone Zone.

00:20:50.600 Thank you, Roger, for having me.

00:20:52.400 It's a great honor to be here.

00:20:53.560 Obviously, I'm on your left and you're on the right.

00:20:57.940 It's very appropriate.

00:20:59.980 So, first, tell us about you a little bit.

00:21:02.000 How did you get involved in politics and how did you first meet Millet?

00:21:05.340 I met him online and we clicked immediately.

00:21:08.140 I saw potential greatness in him.

00:21:10.420 But how did you meet him?

00:21:11.480 The first time I noticed that Javier Millet was on TV and he was saying everything we want in Argentina to politicians do.

00:21:23.780 And nobody was doing.

00:21:25.360 Nobody was talking to young people that socialism was bad and capitalism was good and all basic stuff.

00:21:32.160 And we got a great disappointment with President Macri.

00:21:36.840 We thought Macri was a right-wing president and he didn't break down taxes and break down social securities for the poor people and the government ways.

00:21:52.740 So, then come the Peronist again and Millet was in the campaign to being the congressman, to Congress.

00:22:00.180 He was running for Congress and we started saying, like, we want this guy to run for Congress.

00:22:05.880 We want this guy to run for Congress.

00:22:07.900 And we were in social media, like, very vocally supporting Millet.

00:22:12.020 And they contact us and we start working in the campaign in the early beginnings of Javier Millet, like, political career.

00:22:18.400 So, in many ways, Millet is an Internet-based phenomena.

00:22:23.280 Given the way Internet communications changed after Elon Musk bought Twitter and set it free, he not only bought it, he then made public all the records of the Biden administration's manipulation and the Obama administration's manipulation of the content,

00:22:41.720 canceling anybody who questioned the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations, who questioned whether Hunter Biden's laptop was real or whether it was, quote-unquote, Russian disinformation.

00:22:58.000 If you questioned any of those things pre-Elon, you had no platform.

00:23:04.580 Now, there's still extensive censorship on Facebook, extensive censorship on YouTube, extensive censorship on Instagram.

00:23:13.020 They also play with you in terms of the manipulation of the algorithms, as you know.

00:23:18.220 But do you think Javier Millet could have been elected without the Internet?

00:23:21.760 No, Javier Millet couldn't get elected president without the Internet or congressmen, because at the first time he was elected for Congress.

00:23:30.840 And in the 2021, in the election, he gets his Congress seat, tweet.

00:23:37.060 We were working on the campaign very vocally in social media, especially in Twitter, and we get our accounts banned, like the account of the best friend of mine, Daniel Parisini, El Gordo Dan, gets banned three or four days before the election.

00:23:51.100 And then after the election, and when Javier Millet was already congressman-elect, we had assumed with Twitter, with Twitter Latino America, and they told us,

00:24:04.180 we banned your accounts because you are manipulating the algorithm, and we are not manipulating the algorithm.

00:24:09.960 We are real people saying these things.

00:24:11.860 That's why the things are getting into the first trending topics of the country.

00:24:15.420 And then with Elon Musk, by Twitter, we can, the censor stopped, and we start, like, controlling the totality of the...

00:24:26.720 So there is the proof.

00:24:28.040 Just as they tried to manipulate, successfully manipulated the 2020 election by taking the voices that were pro-Trump off the air,

00:24:36.020 they took key operatives working from the left, key communicators, key influencers off the air in an attempt to manipulate the article.

00:24:48.060 But now let's talk about Argentina and the tremendous prophecy.

00:24:53.320 I have one thing to add to the 2020 election.

00:24:55.660 Yes.

00:24:55.920 We, the first trending topic of the world was Argentina supports Trump.

00:25:02.560 We were making that trending topic, and our accounts get permanently suspended because of that trending topic on the night of the 2020 election.

00:25:11.640 I mean, there you have it.

00:25:12.920 I mean, so just the use of Trump's name gets you suspended.

00:25:16.480 So when my friend Alex Jones says we're in an info war, he's not wrong.

00:25:22.160 And people who think just it's true that, in my view, Elon Musk is probably the single most important voice and advocate for the First Amendment since the founding fathers.

00:25:32.140 He strikes a huge blow by paying a heavy price for X but doing his very best to clean it up and returning voices to many, many people, myself included.

00:25:41.720 And, of course, then there is a true social, which is great for talking to the base.

00:25:47.440 It's a great, great way to communicate it.

00:25:50.380 But I do want to talk about a problem we have here in the United States, and that is we have a terrific shortage of beef.

00:25:57.480 Because of the radical environmental policies of Joe Biden and before Barack Obama, the herd, which is 162 million cows, down to like 26.

00:26:05.540 We used to buy additional beef, high-quality beef, from Mexico, but Mexico has been struck with a screw-worm epidemic, which we cannot let into the country.

00:26:15.700 It's a very dangerous agriculture department, as is working on it.

00:26:19.960 There is still some beef in southern Mexico that could be perfectly fine, but they haven't found a method yet to test it.

00:26:27.940 The president of the United States, reaching out and talking to Malay, makes a terrific deal to increase the quota of fine Argentine beef, the greatest beef on the planet, Argentine beef, in the United States, an 18 percent increase in the quota, which is very good for Argentina and very good for America.

00:26:47.640 Because pretty soon the price of hamburger in your local grocery store is going to be off the charts.

00:26:54.140 There is a shortage.

00:26:54.900 The U.S. cattlemen cannot solve this problem.

00:26:57.940 They oppose the Argentine beef.

00:27:00.080 This is a big win, but it seems to be delayed.

00:27:03.140 Tell me what's going on here.

00:27:04.740 Well, I don't know what is going on in America of that, but in Argentina, we really want to export all the beef we can to the American markets because we think we have the best beef in the world.

00:27:15.960 And I think President Malay is looking forward to this deal, and he is going to accept the terms of the United States to buy the beef of the Argentine producers in our country.

00:27:27.240 We export, like, I think it's 700,000 tons of beef the last year, so we are looking forward for that, for sure.

00:27:39.340 And I have visited Buenos Aires, and I have eaten steak there, and I must tell you.

00:27:43.480 Have you drank wine?

00:27:44.380 I drank wine as well.

00:27:45.940 Too much wine.

00:27:46.960 And then I went out to all the antique shops looking for memorabilia pertaining to Juan and Evita Perón, of which I found a lot.

00:27:55.280 They put their pictures on a lot, kind of like Chairman Mao.

00:27:57.940 Chairman Mao put his picture on everything.

00:27:59.380 You can get teapots with his picture.

00:28:01.460 You can get beer mugs with his picture.

00:28:05.340 The first person who understood that kind of branding was Napoleon.

00:28:08.420 So when you were in the army, you were given a marble bust to the emperor when you joined the army, and you were given a medallion with his picture.

00:28:15.800 They were highly prized.

00:28:17.340 Napoleon put his image or his N on everything.

00:28:20.920 He was one of the first guys in the world when it came to branding.

00:28:24.700 He was the first marketer, and he was the first brander.

00:28:28.780 And the giant hat and the gray greatcoat, that's all part of branding, the little corporal, they called him.

00:28:37.580 Of course, Napoleon was not French.

00:28:39.420 People don't realize that.

00:28:40.740 Napoleon was a Corsican, born in Corsica.

00:28:43.260 Corsica was owned and controlled by the Italians at the time of his birth.

00:28:46.900 Napoleon did not speak French until he was either 10 or 12.

00:28:51.240 He was from a relatively aristocratic but poor family.

00:28:54.700 In Corsica, he would ultimately become the emperor of France and take over half the world.

00:29:02.260 In the end, come back once from exile.

00:29:07.940 So I think this is my favorite Napoleon story.

00:29:10.920 But Napoleon, obviously, at the end of the French Revolution, he realizes that the mayhem and all of the bloodshed is just chaotic.

00:29:20.280 He stages a coup, takes control of the company, and he transforms France. 0.84

00:29:25.720 He writes them a civil code.

00:29:27.540 He lays out the cities of Paris, and he lays sewers and esplanades.

00:29:35.440 He gives them the code to Napoleon.

00:29:38.380 He sets up schools teaching architecture, and he rebuilds the military.

00:29:44.740 He really renovates the country.

00:29:48.420 And then, of course, he begins his foreign adventures, and he captures most of Europe, only essentially to be defeated by the British.

00:29:55.840 They send him first into exile in Elba, an island.

00:30:00.400 So they don't execute him.

00:30:01.440 They send him where he's lightly guarded and in touch with his confederates.

00:30:05.920 The Bourbon kings return to France.

00:30:08.740 Things don't get any better.

00:30:10.260 It's still chaotic.

00:30:11.560 And then one night, in the dark of night, Napoleon, with 300 men in longboats, they row to the south of France where they land.

00:30:21.420 There's 300 of them.

00:30:22.880 Napoleon marches for Paris, and by the time he gets there, he has an army, I checked this, of 150,000 men.

00:30:30.680 150,000.

00:30:32.220 I thought the number was 50.

00:30:33.580 It's 150,000 men.

00:30:35.820 The kings and those in government just flay.

00:30:38.580 When Napoleon gets to Paris, he walks into his old office, and he's back in power.

00:30:43.860 Ultimately, his overreach in Russia was the thing that undid him.

00:30:49.820 But it extends to reason that he's an Italian, because I don't think any Frenchman could conquer the world. 0.99

00:30:55.820 I used to drive a Citroën, which was the bane of my existence.

00:31:00.220 I didn't want a car that looked like everybody else, so I had these two Citroën DS.

00:31:04.380 It was kind of like a spaceship.

00:31:06.460 It's a very forward, modern car.

00:31:08.440 It drove on an air suspension, went up and down.

00:31:10.780 So when you turned on the car, it went up.

00:31:12.540 When you turned off the car, it would level out.

00:31:15.420 I had the station wagon and a four-door sedan.

00:31:19.360 They were very, very innovative cars.

00:31:21.500 They had a center spoke, a steering wheel, but they were made by the French. 1.00

00:31:27.040 You couldn't find anybody to work on them, but the French had been being in Indochina.

00:31:31.140 So by the 70s, they had withdrawn from the U.S. market.

00:31:34.900 If you were going to find a mechanic to work on, they had to be the Vietnamese or from Indochina. 1.00

00:31:40.300 I finally gave up on them.

00:31:41.940 But it was a French nightmare. 1.00

00:31:43.680 It was a thing of beauty, but it didn't work very well.

00:31:46.460 Well, talking about that, I think that one of the greatest problems of the Argentinian education system in schools

00:31:55.300 is that they teach us the French Revolution instead of the American Revolution,

00:32:00.880 that this is the Freedom Revolution, I think.

00:32:02.500 Yeah, I think that was a very interesting point you made to me.

00:32:05.900 I'm going to tell my friend Nick Adams.

00:32:07.780 Nick Adams has a foundation which teaches patriotism,

00:32:12.900 teaches the Constitution and Declaration of Independence,

00:32:16.040 teaches the history of the American Revolution.

00:32:17.920 I think it's not surprising that the leftist teachers would teach the French Revolution,

00:32:26.140 which is really hard to draw a conclusion from because the Bourbon kings were brutal.

00:32:32.360 Yes.

00:32:32.500 But the people who were cutting off people's heads at the beginning of the revolution,

00:32:35.520 by the end of the revolution, they themselves were getting their head chopped.

00:32:39.020 It just became a bloodbath, which everybody was accused falsely of being a secret agent of the Bourbons.

00:32:45.420 And society essentially collapsed.

00:32:49.720 The French Revolution gave way to the Republic as set up by Napoleon

00:32:54.140 and continued from that period forward.

00:32:58.020 The French Republic later obviously led quite ably by Charles de Gaulle.

00:33:04.060 It's a great story about how a Citroën, the car, saved de Gaulle's life.

00:33:08.360 I'll tell you that on the other side.

00:33:10.280 We're talking to Augustin Romo.

00:33:11.900 He is a congressman from Buenos Aires, a strong supporter of my good friend Javier Malay,

00:33:17.320 one of the leaders of his party.

00:33:19.460 Many people say that Augustin himself will be president of Argentina someday.

00:33:24.360 So from my mouths to God's ears.

00:33:26.620 We'll be right back.

00:33:27.600 You're listening to The Stone Zone right here on the Red Apple Audio Networks,

00:33:32.340 where we talk politics, news, history, style, fashion.

00:33:37.220 Today we even talked a little bit about state.

00:33:39.320 We'll be right back.

00:33:40.520 This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.

00:33:44.220 And he's a great, great person, Roger Stone.

00:33:48.100 The Stone Zone.

00:33:49.780 The Stone Zone.

00:34:10.520 This is The Stone Zone.

00:34:13.220 Now, get him a zone.

00:34:15.580 It's The Stone Zone.

00:34:17.220 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.

00:34:24.660 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.

00:34:27.100 Roger Stone.

00:34:28.140 Where's Roger Stone?

00:34:29.380 Here's Roger Stone.

00:34:31.020 If you're just tuning in, we're talking to Augustin Romo.

00:34:35.040 He's a congressman representing Buenos Aires in the party of my good friend, Javier Malay, the president of Argentina.

00:34:43.020 And I want to talk a little bit about the improvements in the economy under Malay.

00:34:51.960 I mean, he said from the beginning, communist doesn't work, socialism works, capitalism works, we've got to cut spending, we've got to cut taxes, we've got to cut regulations.

00:35:01.200 He's done all of that, and it doesn't happen immediately, but like an ocean liner, it is turning around.

00:35:09.060 Well, in the last government of the Peronist coalition, they had an inflation in four years of 1,000%.

00:35:16.720 In four years, they had 1,000% of inflation.

00:35:20.480 And in the last year, the inflation rate was 211%.

00:35:24.200 211%, and within the, right now, in 2025, the inflation rate is, in the whole year, 35% in our government.

00:35:35.280 Also, the poverty was 54%, and now the poverty is 32%, and in some new studies, it's 29%.

00:35:45.800 So these are pretty big.

00:35:48.220 Yeah, I mean, the point, of course, is that he's bringing prosperity and opportunity.

00:35:52.440 People who are not unemployed are employed.

00:35:56.180 Those below the poverty line went from more than half to less than a third, close to a third, which is a huge significance.

00:36:06.480 And you won the midterm elections.

00:36:08.340 Yeah, we won the midterm elections, I think, because of these great economic results.

00:36:11.820 And also, we got a lot of government waste.

00:36:16.860 We closed a lot of secretaries and ministers, and we, like, get rid of 100,000 public employees that were doing nothing.

00:36:27.660 They're just cashing out their checks and nothing.

00:36:30.860 Exactly what President Trump needs to do and is doing.

00:36:34.340 Well, you guys ran a textbook, modern, data-based, Internet-based campaign.

00:36:39.820 I'm a big fan of your campaign chief, Santiago.

00:36:44.700 He's a good man.

00:36:46.140 Yeah, he is.

00:36:47.200 And you guys ran a great, great campaign.

00:36:49.520 And you are making America great.

00:36:53.940 So, please give my regards to Santiago Caputo.

00:36:57.260 I hope to see the President Malay here in a few weeks at a Hispanic Latinos for Trump event here in Palm Beach.

00:37:06.500 I look forward to seeing your president.

00:37:08.220 He's a great man.

00:37:09.440 And I salute you for the role that you played in his election and now standing up as the leader of the Liberdad Avanza block in the Chamber of Deputies,

00:37:20.700 which is kind of like what we call our caucus.

00:37:26.260 The leader of the MAGA bloc.

00:37:27.640 The leader of the MAGA bloc.

00:37:29.360 I'm like in the state congress, I'm like the minority leader.

00:37:33.040 There you go, the minority leader.

00:37:34.700 All right.

00:37:35.340 Guy, thank you and God bless you for joining us today in the Stone Zone until tomorrow.

00:37:41.360 God bless you.

00:37:41.920 Thank you very much.

00:37:42.520 And Godspeed.

00:37:50.700 We'll be right back.

00:38:20.700 We'll be right back.
