Stone and Frato also discuss Iran's role in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the possibility that it could be the work of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Joint Improving Relationships Initiative (JIRI), a group of Iranian-American intelligence officers tasked with carrying out counter-espionage and spying on the Trump campaign and other high-level officials in the administration. They also discuss how the Iranians could have hacked the DNC and other Democratic targets, and whether they could be responsible for the attacks on Israel by the Israeli government on the Iranian nuclear plant in Cazenovia, Iran's nuclear facility in the region of the West Bank, and the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, and other targets around the Middle East, including the embassy in the capital, as well as the attacks against the Palestinians and their nuclear facilities in the Gaza Strip, which are all part of the Iran plan to build a nuclear weapon plant in order to deliver humanitarian aid to their own people, the Iranians are alleged to have been carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, the IRGC and the Iranian intelligence agency, the Revolutionary Guards Organization. Roger Stone answers a question from a supporter of Donald Trump's campaign about whether the Iranians hacked Trump s emails. and why they should be blamed on the Russians, and if so, who did it.

Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:07.120 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.140 He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:16.780 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:22.160 and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:27.180 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:33.180 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:41.100 Welcome. I'm Roger Stone. And yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:47.020 Joining us later today is Johnny Frato.
00:00:50.640 He is an America's first Republican candidate for Congress in the 26th District of Florida,
00:00:58.540 running an uphill race against Grino Mario Diaz-Balart.
00:01:04.760 But before we get to that, there are many, many questions today,
00:01:09.480 and therefore I thought it would be best if we go to a very popular segment that we call Ask Stone.
00:01:17.080 This is where I answer your questions.
00:01:21.280 You can email me your questions by going to stone at stonezone.com,
00:01:29.040 and we'll try to get to as many of them as we possibly can.
00:01:34.280 The first question actually came in last night.
00:01:38.740 It is quite simply, what about these stories regarding your email being hacked by the Iranians?
00:01:49.980 Well, first of all, that's inaccurate in the question.
00:01:54.240 I was approached by Microsoft several months ago to tell me that my email,
00:02:02.380 an old Hotmail account that I really don't use anymore but is still active,
00:02:09.580 had been compromised, they said, by the Iranians.
00:02:16.080 I didn't think much of this because I don't use the account,
00:02:20.620 but they explained that the reason for this intrusion was to send emails to high-level officials
00:02:30.280 that the Trump campaign that would appear that they came from me
00:02:36.080 but would include malicious links that, if clicked on,
00:02:42.680 would give the perpetrator access to the Trump campaign computers.
00:02:49.280 I didn't think much of this,
00:02:51.440 but I did see stories on Fox about the FBI announcing that there would be an effort by the Iranians
00:03:00.040 that they were tracking to interfere with and infiltrate Donald Trump's campaign.
00:03:06.700 Then, roughly a month ago, I was contacted by the FBI,
00:03:13.000 who told me that my Gmail account had been compromised,
00:03:18.320 and, again, that the purpose, they believed, for this compromise
00:03:23.840 was to send outgoing emails to high-level officials in the Trump campaign
00:03:31.700 that would appear to have come from me or been written by me,
00:03:37.280 again, with the purpose of including a malicious link
00:03:42.400 that would allow anyone who clicked on it to have their computer infiltrated.
00:03:50.540 That's really all I know.
00:03:52.940 Going to the send file, I couldn't find any emails that met that description,
00:03:59.560 and, no, I never clicked on any phishing software,
00:04:05.560 contrary to what the retards at the New Republic or the Daily Beast say.
00:04:14.380 Has this, in fact, been done by the Iranians?
00:04:18.500 Well, that's what the FBI claims.
00:04:21.420 Could it have been done by someone else?
00:04:23.840 I lived through two years in which the falsehood
00:04:27.960 that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee
00:04:32.760 was promulgated by the FBI.
00:04:36.640 We now know definitively that that never happened.
00:04:41.560 Forensic evidence and expert examination of the servers of the DNC
00:04:48.240 prove that, A, the FBI never inspected
00:04:52.600 the Democrat National Committee servers,
00:04:55.420 and, secondarily, CrowdStrikes,
00:04:59.680 the independent third-party but left-leaning IT firm
00:05:05.000 that allegedly supplied a memorandum to the DNC
00:05:11.520 claiming the Russians had hacked the DNC,
00:05:15.760 was completely discredited when Sean Henry,
00:05:20.080 the head of cybersecurity for CrowdStrikes,
00:05:23.800 testified before the House Intelligence Committee under oath
00:05:28.040 that, in fact, CrowdStrikes' draft report
00:05:32.160 contained no proof that the Russians ever hacked the DNC.
00:05:37.600 Now, I'm cooperating with this investigation.
00:05:42.440 It does make perfect sense as to why the Iranians
00:05:46.920 would want to undermine Donald Trump's campaign
00:05:50.040 because, during the Trump presidency,
00:05:53.520 the sanctions he put in place against Iran
00:05:56.620 were so strict and so harsh
00:05:59.520 that they were virtually bankrupt.
00:06:02.240 They had no money to finance the further development
00:06:07.100 of their nuclear weapons development program.
00:06:10.780 They had no funds to subsidize Hamas and Hezbollah
00:06:17.660 and, therefore, the attacks on Israel.
00:06:21.040 So, I could understand why this could, in fact, be the Iranians.
00:06:27.020 As I said, I'm cooperating in the investigation,
00:06:31.060 and it remains to be seen how this all plays out.
00:06:35.720 But I'm anxious to have the opportunity to correct the record.
00:06:41.140 No, I never was phished that I'm aware of.
00:06:46.780 Again, both Microsoft and the FBI said my email had been compromised.
00:06:54.740 They didn't say it had been hacked.
00:06:57.320 Therefore, the headline in The New Republic
00:07:00.820 and the headline in a number of these fake news media outlets,
00:07:07.000 who, at this point, just include my name for clickbait,
00:07:10.500 because, you see, they make money
00:07:12.720 anytime anyone clicks on their story.
00:07:16.140 So, putting my name in the headline,
00:07:19.620 knowing that I am controversial,
00:07:22.160 is a way for them to make money.
00:07:25.280 It's very cheap.
00:07:27.120 Let's see.
00:07:29.580 Joey from Astoria, Queens, says,
00:07:33.940 what do you think of Robert F. Kennedy
00:07:36.160 being knocked off the ballot in New York State?
00:07:40.060 Look, I'm a supporter of Donald Trump,
00:07:42.760 but I think this is outrageous.
00:07:45.780 First of all, it is the Democrat Party
00:07:48.340 that has challenged Kennedy's access to the New York ballot,
00:07:53.600 and I can't think of anything more anti-democratic.
00:07:59.960 The Democrats claim in their successful lawsuit
00:08:04.160 that RFK is not a New York State resident.
00:08:09.380 Well, he owns a home there.
00:08:12.180 He votes there.
00:08:14.240 He has his law license there.
00:08:18.520 I would say he's a New Yorker.
00:08:21.480 As I said, I'm strongly for President Trump.
00:08:27.240 I'm certainly not supporting Robert Kennedy,
00:08:30.080 although he has a few admirable issue positions.
00:08:34.600 But I think it is outrageous
00:08:36.200 that the people are not being allowed to choose.
00:08:40.940 And therefore, I think he should be on the ballot
00:08:42.860 in New York State.
00:08:44.460 And I'm actually hopeful
00:08:46.180 that he will win his appeal.
00:08:49.220 Thank you, Joey, for your question.
00:08:54.160 Here's another one from Tim.
00:08:56.940 I'm glad to do this one.
00:08:59.300 Tim says,
00:08:59.820 I've read a lot about your book
00:09:02.480 on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
00:09:07.860 I'd like to know more.
00:09:10.280 What is your theory and where can you get it?
00:09:13.980 All right, this is pretty simple.
00:09:15.300 I wrote a book in 2015 entitled
00:09:20.440 The Man Who Killed Kennedy,
00:09:22.980 The Case Against LBJ.
00:09:25.740 Now, in this very, very heavily documented book,
00:09:29.920 I make the case that it was Lyndon Johnson
00:09:33.500 who was at the helm of a plot
00:09:36.220 to kill John F. Kennedy.
00:09:38.040 This plot, I believe, and document,
00:09:42.360 included the Central Intelligence Agency,
00:09:46.760 the organized crime,
00:09:50.200 Big Texas Oil,
00:09:52.660 the Secret Service,
00:09:54.800 who I documented clearly stood down on JFK
00:09:58.920 on the day of his murder,
00:10:01.360 international interests,
00:10:03.380 and banking interests.
00:10:05.380 Now, each one of them had their own individual motive
00:10:10.240 for the murder of John F. Kennedy,
00:10:12.980 but nobody's motive was more acute
00:10:15.520 than Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:10:17.840 Johnson was under investigation
00:10:20.340 in two very big corruption scandals,
00:10:24.800 the Bobby Baker scandal.
00:10:27.420 Bobby Baker was the Secretary of the Senate
00:10:30.420 and was essentially Lyndon Johnson's bag man.
00:10:34.040 No major defense appropriation
00:10:36.860 passed the U.S. Senate in the 1950s
00:10:39.460 without a payoff to LBJ,
00:10:43.180 passed through Bobby Baker.
00:10:45.900 But the other scandal
00:10:48.000 that threatened to take Johnson down
00:10:50.620 was the Billy Sal Estes scandal.
00:10:54.480 Billy Sal Estes was a flamboyant
00:10:57.320 Texas Wheeler dealer.
00:11:00.080 Johnson had arranged for Sal Estes
00:11:02.720 to get several multi-million dollar
00:11:05.880 agricultural contracts,
00:11:09.100 and he was kicking back to good old LBJ.
00:11:13.200 Now, what's interesting is that Robert Caro,
00:11:17.000 who won a Pulitzer Prize
00:11:18.700 for his multiple-volume biography of LBJ,
00:11:24.960 while he does cover the Bobby Baker matter,
00:11:27.700 there's no mention whatsoever
00:11:30.080 of Billy Sal Estes.
00:11:33.240 That's because Billy Sal Estes,
00:11:35.780 who was later convicted and sent to prison
00:11:39.180 upon his release from prison,
00:11:43.640 testified under oath
00:11:45.220 that he was actually involved
00:11:47.220 in meetings with Lyndon Johnson
00:11:50.500 where the murder of John F. Kennedy
00:11:53.240 was planned.
00:11:55.080 If you're interested in history
00:11:57.100 and you are fascinated by this subject,
00:12:00.960 as many Americans are,
00:12:03.880 you can get your copy
00:12:05.460 of The Man Who Killed Kennedy,
00:12:07.620 The Case Against LBJ,
00:12:10.340 by going to
00:12:11.560 themanwhokilledkennedy.com.
00:12:15.140 That's right,
00:12:15.800 themanwhokilledkennedy.com.
00:12:18.900 Now, if you go to themanwhokilledkennedy.com,
00:12:23.820 two things.
00:12:24.760 One, you will get the paperback version of the book,
00:12:28.780 which has three additional chapters.
00:12:32.440 You'll also get a signed copy,
00:12:34.820 and in fact,
00:12:35.500 I can even personalize it to you
00:12:38.180 for a birthday or an anniversary
00:12:40.660 or for any other salutation you may want.
00:12:44.620 So please go to themanwhokilledkennedy.com
00:12:48.340 and you can get your copy
00:12:50.440 of my New York Times bestselling book.
00:12:55.360 Tim, I thank you very much for your question.
00:12:58.700 You saved me from doing a commercial.
00:13:02.520 Here is a question from Sue in Boca Raton
00:13:07.360 who writes,
00:13:08.640 oh, this is very nice.
00:13:09.680 I read that your wife has survived stage four cancer.
00:13:19.140 This is great news.
00:13:20.980 God bless her.
00:13:22.180 How is she doing?
00:13:24.860 I really appreciate the question.
00:13:27.860 Mrs. Stone is doing extraordinarily well.
00:13:32.020 This has been a very long haul.
00:13:35.080 She chose a combination
00:13:36.900 of both conventional Western medicine
00:13:39.840 and a number of alternative treatments for cancer,
00:13:45.740 including large intravenous injections
00:13:50.600 of vitamin C, vitamin D, B17, cumin,
00:13:57.220 and she used a legally available drug
00:14:02.560 called benazole.
00:14:04.940 I sometimes mispronounce that.
00:14:07.060 It may be benazole.
00:14:08.900 In any event, she's doing extremely well.
00:14:11.940 She recently had surgery
00:14:14.820 to alleviate the discomfort in her left arm
00:14:18.340 caused by lymphedema.
00:14:20.100 That has also been extraordinarily successful.
00:14:24.680 She accompanied me
00:14:25.720 to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
00:14:29.220 She had attended the 1980 and 1984 conventions
00:14:35.740 when she was working as a photographer
00:14:38.500 for President Ronald Reagan
00:14:41.280 and she had the time of her life.
00:14:45.180 So, look, I believe that she was healed
00:14:47.740 only through the power of Jesus Christ and prayer.
00:14:51.600 I'm most grateful that she's doing well
00:14:54.080 and Sue, I very much appreciate your question.
00:14:58.040 Here is a question from Eric,
00:15:03.000 who is in Sandusky, Ohio.
00:15:05.740 Eric asks,
00:15:07.440 I read that Kellyanne Conway
00:15:10.740 wants to join the Trump campaign staff
00:15:15.500 and essentially take over the direction
00:15:18.480 of the campaign.
00:15:20.080 What do you think?
00:15:21.500 Well, I know Kellyanne Conway.
00:15:25.120 I've probably known her for 30 years.
00:15:28.340 But I think this is problematic.
00:15:30.620 First of all, she's a registered agent for Ukraine.
00:15:35.120 Therefore, I think she has a conflict of interest
00:15:37.780 when it comes to the president's views
00:15:40.200 on the war between Ukraine and Russia.
00:15:44.720 Secondarily, she's a registered lobbyist for TikTok.
00:15:48.240 Therefore, she's representing a company
00:15:51.360 that is principally owned by the communist Chinese.
00:15:55.420 Let me also say that despite the fact
00:15:58.180 that there may be some grousing,
00:16:00.120 I have a very high regard for Susie Wiles,
00:16:05.140 for Chris LaCivita,
00:16:07.640 and for one of my oldest friends,
00:16:10.120 Tony Fabrizio.
00:16:11.220 They are three of the most talented people in politics.
00:16:15.700 And I frankly think that they have brought order
00:16:19.040 out of chaos
00:16:20.060 and that they're running a very good campaign.
00:16:23.840 And therefore, I don't think change is necessary.
00:16:27.820 Yes, I want to see aggressive election integrity activities.
00:16:33.400 I think that's going to happen.
00:16:35.220 Yes, I want to see a successful effort
00:16:38.020 to find, register, and turn out
00:16:41.480 as many Trump voters as humanly possible.
00:16:46.040 But let's be very clear.
00:16:48.820 Donald Trump is not your typical politician.
00:16:52.580 In fact, he's not a politician at all.
00:16:55.580 He's a political figure.
00:16:57.280 He's the head of a political reform movement.
00:17:00.580 But he doesn't operate like your normal politician.
00:17:06.220 In other words, he's not handled.
00:17:08.840 He's not managed.
00:17:10.400 He's not scripted.
00:17:12.520 In other words, he's not phony.
00:17:14.280 He's authentic.
00:17:15.860 He's genuine.
00:17:17.820 What you see is what you get.
00:17:20.040 He's very much his own man.
00:17:23.000 He's on track to win this race.
00:17:26.120 I believe with all my heart,
00:17:28.000 he is going to win this race,
00:17:29.980 despite the fact there are many obstacles.
00:17:33.160 But no, I'm happy with the campaign leadership
00:17:36.820 as it is currently constituted.
00:17:39.720 And their ground game is far more extensive
00:17:43.980 and far better organized than perhaps is public.
00:17:49.460 I have a high confidence that we are going to run
00:17:52.780 the same kind of excellent campaign
00:17:55.740 that Donald Trump ran for the nomination
00:17:58.680 in which he actually set records
00:18:01.780 in some of the early primaries and caucus states.
00:18:05.540 So, again, I thank you for your question.
00:18:11.080 This kind of fits.
00:18:12.880 This is Barry from Saskatchewan.
00:18:16.620 We have some viewers in Canada.
00:18:18.620 That's good to know.
00:18:20.020 Barry wants to know,
00:18:21.240 is Donald Trump now behind in the presidential race?
00:18:24.560 No, I absolutely don't think so.
00:18:28.300 What you see going on right now
00:18:30.300 is largely a mainstream media-operated PSYOP.
00:18:36.120 First of all, most of the polls,
00:18:39.120 virtually every poll,
00:18:40.900 that now shows Kamala Harris surging or pulling ahead,
00:18:45.280 if you will study the cross-tabs,
00:18:48.560 the internal numbers,
00:18:50.980 you will see in almost every case
00:18:53.460 that they have purposely oversampled Democrats
00:18:57.340 to jigger the results
00:19:00.080 and show that Kamala Harris is ahead.
00:19:07.020 Secondarily, I'm sorry you can joke about this,
00:19:10.680 but yes, her campaign is using AI to create these images
00:19:15.720 that the turnout at her rallies or public appearances
00:19:19.880 is much, much, much larger than it actually is.
00:19:25.400 Pretty clear she has trouble gathering the kind of crowds
00:19:29.580 that Donald Trump is still setting records with at his rallies.
00:19:34.340 And then, of course, there's the question of her fundraising.
00:19:40.680 They tell us that she's raised in excess of $300 million,
00:19:46.200 but the vast majority of that money
00:19:49.300 is coming through a payment processing company called ActBlue.
00:19:55.360 And there is, beginning in 2022,
00:19:58.760 and again today,
00:20:00.320 an extraordinary amount of evidence
00:20:03.340 that the donors who are allegedly giving
00:20:07.340 to these Democrat candidates,
00:20:09.480 including Kamala Harris,
00:20:11.980 don't even exist,
00:20:14.240 or donations are being made on a serial basis
00:20:19.340 in the name of people
00:20:21.060 who may have given a small donation
00:20:23.100 to a Democrat candidate once.
00:20:26.480 James O'Keefe has done excellent work in this area.
00:20:29.660 Others, such as Chris Nelson here,
00:20:33.820 not Chris Nelson, pardon me, Chris Gleason,
00:20:36.360 here in Florida,
00:20:38.400 have done excellent work in exposing
00:20:40.880 what is really widespread money laundering.
00:20:45.260 So this is really nothing less
00:20:48.140 than the creation of a PSYOP
00:20:51.820 to create the idea
00:20:54.600 that Kamala Harris is somehow surging.
00:20:58.080 This I know.
00:21:00.560 You can't get elected president
00:21:02.380 if you don't engage in press conferences,
00:21:07.460 if you don't give interviews,
00:21:10.420 if you don't debate.
00:21:13.240 As much as Kamala Harris says she wants to debate,
00:21:17.960 I don't think she really does want to debate
00:21:20.680 because I think it's abundantly clear
00:21:23.480 that she cannot speak contemporaneously.
00:21:26.760 She cannot speak without a teleprompter.
00:21:30.060 I think she is virtually devoid of substance.
00:21:35.660 Now, of course, she's trying to reinvent her record
00:21:39.120 with the assistance of the mainstream media.
00:21:42.660 Amazing.
00:21:43.420 All of a sudden,
00:21:44.680 she's come up with this brilliant idea
00:21:47.340 of not having taxes on tips for service workers.
00:21:52.300 The problem, of course,
00:21:53.620 is that Donald Trump proposed this weeks ago
00:21:57.700 around the time of the Nevada primary and caucuses.
00:22:02.660 And he did so because of a conversation
00:22:06.020 he had with a waitress there
00:22:07.680 who complained about how hard it was
00:22:10.500 to make ends meet
00:22:12.160 because although she was being paid a base salary
00:22:16.000 for her job as a waitress,
00:22:18.380 the vast majority of what she made
00:22:20.660 came in the form of tips,
00:22:22.280 and those tips were being taxed
00:22:25.120 by the federal government, by the IRS.
00:22:27.340 Now, technically, a tip is not a sale.
00:22:33.600 A tip is a gift.
00:22:36.420 The employee, the waitress,
00:22:38.420 is being paid for the job of serving customers,
00:22:43.440 and she's paying taxes on this.
00:22:46.260 So it's a brilliant idea from Donald Trump.
00:22:50.080 He's really, I think,
00:22:51.760 helped him enormously in the state of Nevada
00:22:54.300 with its large hospitality and entertainment industry
00:22:58.320 through the casinos.
00:23:00.940 And now Kamala Harris seeks to steal it
00:23:05.140 like a hot stove.
00:23:07.480 What's next?
00:23:08.460 Donald Trump has proposed
00:23:10.600 ending the taxation on Social Security payments
00:23:14.760 to our senior citizens.
00:23:17.040 It's a very good idea.
00:23:19.000 How soon before Kamala Harris claims that it's hers.
00:23:23.080 And then I heard yesterday that Kamala,
00:23:28.160 who, I'm sorry, John Carl,
00:23:31.100 was put in charge of our southern border,
00:23:34.180 is now in favor of hiring hundreds more
00:23:37.880 new border patrol agents
00:23:40.980 and sealing our border.
00:23:44.240 This has no credibility.
00:23:46.400 She is in office today, as is Joe Biden.
00:23:49.860 Why don't they end the tax on Timps now?
00:23:53.960 Why don't they cut taxes
00:23:56.560 on Social Security recipients now?
00:24:01.020 Why don't they seal our border now?
00:24:05.060 They have no intention of doing these things.
00:24:07.960 They're trying to erase the issue advantage
00:24:11.180 that Donald Trump has.
00:24:13.680 Frankly, I don't think it's going to work.
00:24:18.620 Thank you very much, though, for your question.
00:24:23.420 Here is a question from Alex.
00:24:27.180 Alex is in Yorba, Linda, California,
00:24:30.780 hometown of one Richard M. Nixon,
00:24:33.440 native town of Reverend Richard Nixon,
00:24:35.520 who says,
00:24:36.820 Richard Nixon resigned 50 years ago last week.
00:24:40.800 How do you feel about that?
00:24:42.320 Well, to be quite honest,
00:24:45.660 I don't think that if the Internet
00:24:49.460 had existed in 1974
00:24:52.600 that Donald Trump would,
00:24:56.080 pardon me,
00:24:56.460 that Richard Nixon would have had to resign.
00:25:00.700 The problem was that you had a monolithic
00:25:03.980 and extraordinarily powerful
00:25:06.080 mainstream media then.
00:25:08.300 Now it was more limited.
00:25:09.440 You had only three television networks.
00:25:13.600 You had no real national newspapers,
00:25:18.100 but you did have extremely influential
00:25:21.240 regional newspapers
00:25:23.160 like the Washington Post
00:25:24.820 and the New York Times,
00:25:26.660 the Boston Globe,
00:25:27.940 but the L.A. Times.
00:25:29.980 We had no Internet.
00:25:31.440 You also had these very powerful news magazines
00:25:36.520 such as Newsweek and Time,
00:25:39.700 Life,
00:25:41.220 Look,
00:25:42.300 and others.
00:25:43.400 They no longer exist.
00:25:46.340 By the way,
00:25:47.160 the Newsweek logo
00:25:49.600 and brand
00:25:51.860 was sold to the Daily Beast.
00:25:55.280 So when you see Newsweek online,
00:25:58.320 that's not the Newsweek you remember.
00:26:00.660 That's a left-wing propaganda front.
00:26:04.680 In any event,
00:26:06.320 I think if Nixon had had a forum
00:26:08.780 from which to launch a counterattack,
00:26:12.880 a defense and a counterattack,
00:26:15.320 I think he would have survived.
00:26:17.940 But that was not the case.
00:26:20.320 And it took over a year and a half
00:26:24.260 of cumulative attacks on him
00:26:27.080 before he lost the necessary support
00:26:32.240 in Congress
00:26:33.100 to defeat an impeachment.
00:26:35.920 And therefore,
00:26:37.060 for the good of the country,
00:26:38.420 he chose to resign.
00:26:41.520 There's an excellent piece on this
00:26:43.820 in the Wall Street Journal
00:26:45.260 by Ken Kachigian,
00:26:47.820 an old Nixon and Reagan hand,
00:26:50.400 one of the smartest guys I know.
00:26:52.660 Strongly recommend you check it out

00:28:57.420 Here is a question
00:28:59.440 from Terrence
00:29:01.540 in Chicago, Illinois,
00:29:03.460 who says,
00:29:04.860 will you really be speaking
00:29:06.460 outside of Chicago
00:29:08.020 the Sunday
00:29:10.080 before the Democratic National Convention?
00:29:13.120 The answer is yes.
00:29:14.800 I am going to be speaking
00:29:16.740 at a Trump Now
00:29:19.100 Save the American Dream rally
00:29:22.040 on Sunday,
00:29:24.040 August 18, 2024.
00:29:27.800 Starts at 1230,
00:29:29.200 goes to 6 o'clock.
00:29:30.480 General Michael Flynn
00:29:32.240 is also speaking.
00:29:34.100 My good friend Mike Lindell
00:29:36.040 will be speaking.
00:29:38.240 Charlie Kirk will be speaking.
00:29:41.280 And a number of other
00:29:42.980 important pro-Trump voices.
00:29:46.480 There may, in fact,
00:29:47.660 be some surprise speakers.
00:29:50.040 So you're going to want to attend.
00:29:53.460 You can,
00:29:54.840 we'll actually post
00:29:56.800 where you can get more details.
00:29:59.300 This is going to be held
00:30:00.940 at the McHenry County Fairgrounds
00:30:04.060 in Woodstock, Illinois.
00:30:07.040 That's from 1230 p.m.
00:30:09.780 to 6 p.m. Central Time
00:30:12.700 right outside of Chicago.
00:30:15.800 Yes, it's going to be a great event
00:30:17.680 and you don't want to miss it.
00:30:20.940 Excellent question
00:30:22.500 and I appreciate it.
00:30:24.800 Here's one more question.
00:30:26.500 Do we have Johnny Frotto
00:30:27.820 in the house yet?
00:30:28.800 Oh, great.
00:30:33.060 Terrific.
00:30:33.500 So our guest is with us.
00:30:34.640 One more question
00:30:35.460 before we go to him.
00:30:37.260 I've been asked
00:30:38.200 how I intend to vote
00:30:39.620 on Amendment 3,
00:30:42.160 which is a constitutional amendment
00:30:44.400 on the ballot
00:30:45.440 in my home state of Florida.
00:30:48.240 Now, I am a long-time supporter
00:30:51.840 of the legalization of cannabis.
00:30:55.560 The reason for this is because
00:30:58.200 when my father was dying of cancer,
00:31:02.580 the doctors prescribed opioids,
00:31:06.880 which I think actually made him sicker.
00:31:10.500 It destroyed his digestion.
00:31:13.100 He had no appetite.
00:31:14.920 He was down to about 120 pounds.
00:31:20.300 He was also in horrific pain.
00:31:24.020 My sister suggested that we might try marijuana.
00:31:29.240 We might try cannabis.
00:31:31.360 And I have to tell you
00:31:32.600 that it not only gave him an appetite,
00:31:35.320 he began to put weight on,
00:31:37.240 but more importantly,
00:31:38.280 it allowed him to manage his pain.
00:31:42.120 He told me at one point
00:31:43.360 that miraculously,
00:31:45.120 he was pain-free.
00:31:47.020 Now, Florida has a medicinal marijuana program.
00:31:54.000 That's because a very well-known trial attorney,
00:31:59.380 John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan,
00:32:02.920 put together a constitutional amendment
00:32:06.160 which made medicinal marijuana legal in Florida.
00:32:11.060 He went the constitutional amendment route
00:32:14.460 because the Republican state legislature
00:32:17.160 refused to put the question on the ballot.
00:32:20.100 And they also refused to legalize
00:32:22.860 medicinal marijuana by statute,
00:32:25.640 which of course they could have done.
00:32:28.980 John Morgan is a man who puts his money
00:32:32.020 where his mouth is.
00:32:33.820 It took him two attempts.
00:32:36.300 The first constitutional amendment
00:32:38.100 failed very, very narrowly.
00:32:41.680 I think even he would concede
00:32:43.260 it wasn't as well-drafted
00:32:45.520 as it could have been.
00:32:46.840 The second constitutional amendment
00:32:49.800 was overwhelmingly passed
00:32:52.340 by the people of Florida.
00:32:54.720 And that legalized medicinal marijuana
00:32:58.160 in the Sunshine State.
00:33:00.060 Then, however,
00:33:01.980 the Republican legislature
00:33:03.520 and Governor Ron DeSantis
00:33:05.680 set up the medicinal marijuana program,
00:33:10.540 which is highly restrictive
00:33:12.920 which is cumbersome,
00:33:16.080 which is bureaucratic,
00:33:19.180 which is exceedingly expensive,
00:33:23.320 is very restrictive in the sense
00:33:25.600 that you can only get a prescription
00:33:28.680 for medicinal marijuana
00:33:30.400 for certain illnesses,
00:33:32.580 but not others.
00:33:34.340 And frankly, the system does not work.
00:33:37.900 Talk to too many veterans
00:33:39.480 who use cannabis
00:33:41.320 to treat their PTSD
00:33:43.060 instead of opioids,
00:33:45.680 and they simply cannot afford
00:33:47.740 the time-consuming
00:33:50.080 and expensive
00:33:51.080 medicinal marijuana program
00:33:54.320 in Florida.
00:33:55.440 And therefore, yes,
00:33:57.120 I will vote yes
00:33:59.300 on Amendment 3
00:34:00.640 for broader legalization
00:34:03.160 of cannabis in the state.
00:34:05.140 Alcohol is legal in Florida.
00:34:09.260 Far more people die
00:34:10.740 from the abuse of alcohol
00:34:12.640 than have ever died
00:34:14.380 from the abuse of cannabis.
00:34:16.920 Thank you very much
00:34:18.320 for that question.
00:34:19.840 We're going to take
00:34:20.560 a quick commercial break
00:34:22.420 because, well,
00:34:23.820 one of the things
00:34:24.400 that I worry about
00:34:25.420 is a total shutdown
00:34:26.760 of the U.S. electric power grid.
00:34:30.060 I've seen testimony
00:34:31.640 by the FBI director
00:34:33.400 and other FBI officials
00:34:34.900 who say that our power grid
00:34:37.420 and therefore our cellular
00:34:39.260 telephone systems
00:34:40.520 are extremely vulnerable.
00:34:43.100 Let's take a quick look.
00:34:45.220 This is Roger Stone.
00:34:47.220 Remember when AT&T's
00:34:48.980 cell phone outage
00:34:49.980 left millions,
00:34:51.040 including me,
00:34:52.260 stranded without a means
00:34:53.380 to communicate
00:34:54.040 with loved ones,
00:34:55.660 business associates,
00:34:56.540 or even for emergency services?
00:34:58.560 You see, cellular networks
00:35:00.340 are particularly vulnerable,
00:35:01.960 big targets
00:35:02.580 for hackers and terrorists,
00:35:04.440 as well as vulnerable
00:35:05.520 to hurricanes
00:35:06.280 and other natural disasters.
00:35:08.800 So if your cell phone
00:35:09.960 goes down,
00:35:11.060 how will you communicate?
00:35:13.440 That's why I got
00:35:14.780 the Iridium 9555
00:35:16.580 satellite phone and service.
00:35:19.420 I'm using the proprietary
00:35:20.760 Iridium satellite service.
00:35:23.540 Cell networks only cover
00:35:24.900 about 7% of the Earth,
00:35:26.720 while the Iridium system
00:35:28.080 covers 100% of the Earth.
00:35:30.700 You can call or text
00:35:31.740 from any place
00:35:32.520 you can see the sky.
00:35:34.420 These are trusted
00:35:35.140 by U.S. military
00:35:36.280 and government officials

00:35:43.720 It's the reason
00:35:44.420 the U.S. military
00:35:45.340 uses Iridium phones,
00:35:47.260 and the U.S. Senate
00:35:48.260 uses satellite phones
00:35:49.540 for their secure phone calls.
00:35:51.680 You, too,
00:35:52.480 can ensure your privacy

00:36:05.880 No one will ever
00:36:06.460 read your text
00:36:07.240 but the person
00:36:07.900 you're sending them to.
00:36:09.220 And more importantly,
00:36:10.320 big tech cannot steal

00:36:47.900 phone charged
00:36:48.820 in the event
00:36:49.860 of an electrical

00:37:06.520 phone

00:37:10.160 Welcome back.
00:37:11.580 Please check out
00:37:13.020 the Iridium
00:37:14.260 phone system.
00:37:15.220 I think you'll be
00:37:15.900 very, very glad
00:37:17.120 you did.
00:37:18.400 My guest now
00:37:19.560 is Johnny Frotto.
00:37:21.400 He is running
00:37:22.580 an uphill
00:37:23.920 insurgent campaign
00:37:25.340 for Congress
00:37:26.720 in the state
00:37:27.600 of Florida
00:37:28.100 in the 26th
00:37:29.760 district.
00:37:31.180 He is one of the
00:37:32.240 hardest working
00:37:32.980 candidates I've
00:37:34.140 ever met.
00:37:35.360 He's also
00:37:36.880 100%
00:37:38.440 MAGA,
00:37:39.760 100%
00:37:40.920 America
00:37:41.720 first.
00:37:43.140 He is challenging
00:37:44.380 Mario
00:37:45.460 Diaz-Balart,
00:37:47.040 who is
00:37:48.640 by any
00:37:49.580 definition
00:37:50.260 a
00:37:51.220 rhino,
00:37:52.860 a go-along
00:37:53.880 to get-along
00:37:54.960 Republican.
00:37:55.860 Now,
00:37:56.160 the Diaz-Balart
00:37:57.900 family is very
00:37:58.760 prominent
00:37:59.420 in
00:37:59.980 the Miami-Dade
00:38:03.000 portion
00:38:03.540 of this
00:38:04.060 district,
00:38:05.200 but almost
00:38:06.440 40-plus
00:38:07.320 percent of the
00:38:08.080 district is in
00:38:09.160 Collier County,
00:38:11.320 a county where
00:38:12.680 Mario has only
00:38:13.860 been on the ballot
00:38:14.680 one time,
00:38:16.260 and that was
00:38:17.020 against nominal
00:38:18.480 opposition.
00:38:20.320 Now,
00:38:20.840 the Diaz-Balarts
00:38:22.080 have dined
00:38:23.100 out on their
00:38:24.400 opposition to
00:38:25.740 Fidel Castro
00:38:26.660 for many years.
00:38:28.400 It's raised
00:38:29.300 them a lot
00:38:30.160 of money.
00:38:31.160 But here's
00:38:31.820 what I don't
00:38:32.460 understand.
00:38:34.240 Mario
00:38:34.840 Diaz-Balart
00:38:36.720 cast the
00:38:38.140 tie-breaking
00:38:38.980 vote
00:38:39.640 to renew
00:38:41.280 the FISA
00:38:42.440 program.
00:38:43.420 That's the
00:38:43.920 secret
00:38:44.420 program
00:38:45.300 that the
00:38:46.120 government
00:38:46.520 has
00:38:47.260 in which
00:38:48.340 they can
00:38:48.760 spy on
00:38:49.660 Americans
00:38:50.300 without a
00:38:51.700 warrant
00:38:52.260 from a
00:38:53.060 judge.
00:38:54.060 By the way,
00:38:54.980 this is the
00:38:55.520 kind of thing
00:38:56.200 that the
00:38:56.760 Castro
00:38:57.280 regime does.
00:38:59.300 So how
00:38:59.940 is Mario
00:39:00.960 Diaz-Balart
00:39:02.400 different
00:39:03.340 than
00:39:03.960 Fidel Castro?
00:39:06.880 He's not
00:39:07.500 different than
00:39:07.900 Fidel Castro
00:39:08.420 at all.
00:39:08.840 In fact,
00:39:09.600 look,
00:39:09.980 all I want
00:39:10.500 with this
00:39:10.820 guy is a
00:39:11.540 debate.
00:39:12.320 I approached
00:39:12.940 him the
00:39:13.280 other day
00:39:13.600 and Ave
00:39:13.900 Maria.
00:39:14.320 He was
00:39:14.500 having a
00:39:14.820 meet and
00:39:15.060 greet.
00:39:15.620 I went
00:39:16.020 up to
00:39:16.260 him with
00:39:16.500 his entire
00:39:16.920 voting record
00:39:17.500 in my
00:39:17.980 hand.
00:39:18.400 I said,
00:39:18.700 Mario,
00:39:19.380 why is
00:39:19.720 your voting
00:39:20.060 record such
00:39:20.600 crap?
00:39:21.440 He had
00:39:21.660 nothing to
00:39:22.200 say except
00:39:22.540 for you're
00:39:22.880 a socialist
00:39:23.340 from California.
00:39:24.860 But this
00:39:25.440 is what they
00:39:25.880 do.
00:39:26.160 This is
00:39:26.400 classic.
00:39:27.300 And I've
00:39:27.560 hung out
00:39:27.940 now with
00:39:28.580 a lot of
00:39:29.200 people that
00:39:30.100 were political
00:39:30.660 prisoners from
00:39:31.340 Cuba.
00:39:32.340 You know,
00:39:32.940 people from
00:39:33.340 Cuba, people
00:39:33.900 from South
00:39:34.320 America,
00:39:34.740 Central
00:39:34.960 America,
00:39:35.280 and they
00:39:35.560 all say the
00:39:36.140 same thing.
00:39:37.020 When they
00:39:37.280 talk about
00:39:37.720 communism,
00:39:38.640 it's the
00:39:39.020 exact way
00:39:43.600 Casa
00:39:43.980 Marin over
00:39:44.800 in Hialeah,
00:39:45.500 very popular
00:39:46.240 spot.
00:39:47.080 I talked to
00:39:47.840 the owner
00:39:48.160 of the
00:39:48.400 place.
00:39:48.960 The guy
00:39:49.280 was about
00:39:49.780 me, said
00:39:50.160 he did
00:39:50.500 not like
00:39:51.000 Mario, put
00:39:52.040 my signs
00:39:52.520 up everywhere.
00:39:53.640 Well, guess
00:39:53.980 what?
00:39:54.640 A week
00:39:55.020 later, I
00:39:55.440 went in,
00:39:56.320 all my
00:39:56.700 signs were
00:39:57.120 gone, and
00:39:58.380 I saw
00:39:59.080 Marin sitting
00:39:59.880 there.
00:40:00.360 The minute
00:40:00.820 he saw me,
00:40:01.380 he got up
00:40:01.780 and left.
00:40:02.540 I was told
00:40:03.520 that he had
00:40:04.940 a talking to
00:40:05.640 and he took
00:40:06.560 all my stuff
00:40:07.080 down.
00:40:07.600 That sounds
00:40:08.020 pretty communist
00:40:08.680 to me.
00:40:09.720 You know,
00:40:10.220 this guy,
00:40:10.960 Mario Diaz-Balart,
00:40:12.240 you know,
00:40:12.660 he rules Hialeah
00:40:13.440 with an iron
00:40:13.920 fist, it
00:40:14.400 seems, and
00:40:14.760 everybody's
00:40:15.180 scared of
00:40:15.520 him, but
00:40:16.160 I'm not.
00:40:17.260 And I'm
00:40:18.180 truly America
00:40:18.800 first, and
00:40:20.120 you know, we
00:40:20.740 all know what
00:40:21.160 he stands
00:40:21.500 for.
00:40:21.740 He's an
00:40:21.940 establishment
00:40:22.380 rhino,
00:40:23.000 globalist,
00:40:24.040 new world
00:40:24.500 order guy.
00:40:25.400 That's not
00:40:25.980 me.
00:40:27.320 So, yeah,
00:40:28.120 I mean,
00:40:28.360 there's no
00:40:28.640 difference
00:40:28.900 between the
00:40:29.340 two.
00:40:30.240 You know,
00:40:30.780 I think the
00:40:31.260 single biggest
00:40:31.840 issue in
00:40:32.720 your race,
00:40:33.340 Johnny, is
00:40:34.040 that I
00:40:34.920 believe Mario
00:40:35.780 has voted
00:40:36.760 to send
00:40:37.500 in excess
00:40:39.460 of $100
00:40:40.180 billion to
00:40:42.280 Ukraine.
00:40:43.440 Now, I
00:40:44.040 checked.
00:40:45.880 There's as
00:40:47.120 many as
00:40:47.740 3,000
00:40:48.800 homeless
00:40:49.260 veterans in
00:40:50.140 your district.
00:40:51.720 Isn't that
00:40:52.660 how we should
00:40:53.200 be spending
00:40:53.800 our money
00:40:54.560 rather than
00:40:55.220 shipping it
00:40:55.860 to a
00:40:56.360 losing war
00:40:57.800 effort in
00:40:58.620 Ukraine where
00:40:59.460 our inherent
00:41:00.800 national interests
00:41:01.760 are not even
00:41:02.720 clear?
00:41:03.780 I mean,
00:41:04.220 the entire
00:41:05.120 rationale for
00:41:06.500 the war in
00:41:07.400 Ukraine is
00:41:08.580 false.
00:41:09.040 It's not
00:41:10.040 about the
00:41:10.680 territorial
00:41:11.640 ambitions of
00:41:13.180 Vladimir Putin.
00:41:15.240 It's about
00:41:16.560 our breaking
00:41:18.260 two different
00:41:19.120 treaties,
00:41:19.700 which we
00:41:20.080 signed,
00:41:21.220 the Budapest
00:41:22.660 Memorandum
00:41:23.480 and the
00:41:23.920 Minsk Accord,
00:41:25.280 in which we
00:41:26.040 agreed not to
00:41:27.060 push Ukraine
00:41:28.220 into NATO.
00:41:30.040 In other
00:41:30.500 words,
00:41:31.320 not to put
00:41:32.540 U.S.-funded
00:41:34.040 NATO missiles,
00:41:35.820 offensive missiles
00:41:37.300 in Ukraine
00:41:38.800 aimed at
00:41:40.140 Russia.
00:41:41.280 Now, we
00:41:42.020 as Floridians
00:41:42.920 can understand
00:41:43.640 this issue
00:41:44.360 because in
00:41:45.500 1962, the
00:41:47.420 Russians put
00:41:48.200 missiles in
00:41:49.900 Cuba, 90
00:41:51.240 miles from
00:41:51.940 our shore,
00:41:52.640 90 miles from
00:41:53.500 your district,
00:41:54.820 and we
00:41:56.040 didn't like
00:41:56.480 that much.
00:41:57.120 President John
00:41:57.800 F.
00:41:58.120 Kennedy and
00:41:59.340 his brother
00:41:59.880 ultimately
00:42:00.760 negotiated a
00:42:02.760 settlement,
00:42:03.580 the terms of
00:42:04.580 which were
00:42:04.900 not made
00:42:05.640 public for
00:42:07.160 at least
00:42:07.480 40 years,
00:42:08.500 but what
00:42:09.020 really happened
00:42:09.780 is the
00:42:10.960 Kennedys
00:42:11.560 secretly
00:42:12.300 agreed to
00:42:13.300 remove our
00:42:14.160 missiles from
00:42:15.320 Turkey and
00:42:16.320 Italy, NATO
00:42:17.320 missiles, in
00:42:18.620 return for a
00:42:19.700 pledge from
00:42:20.600 Nikita Khrushchev
00:42:21.800 to remove the
00:42:23.200 Russian missiles
00:42:24.460 from Cuba.
00:42:26.860 Some say
00:42:28.000 that World
00:42:28.820 War III was
00:42:30.000 narrowly
00:42:32.740 averted.
00:42:33.280 Mario
00:42:35.100 Diaz-Balard
00:42:36.800 has already
00:42:37.680 voted to
00:42:38.340 send billions
00:42:39.140 to Ukraine
00:42:40.180 when I
00:42:41.120 think we
00:42:41.420 have problems
00:42:42.220 here in
00:42:43.440 America.
00:42:44.920 The open
00:42:46.080 borders policy
00:42:47.240 has given
00:42:49.420 us a
00:42:50.120 fentanyl
00:42:50.580 crisis, a
00:42:52.000 crime
00:42:52.360 crisis, a
00:42:53.920 fiscal crisis
00:42:54.900 because many
00:42:56.380 states are
00:42:57.700 required to
00:42:58.800 pay for
00:42:59.800 social services
00:43:00.840 for those
00:43:01.380 who are
00:43:01.620 here illegally,
00:43:03.080 even if it
00:43:03.740 means cutting
00:43:04.500 services on
00:43:05.660 U.S.
00:43:06.360 taxpayers.
00:43:07.660 Johnny, I'm
00:43:08.380 interested in
00:43:09.020 your views on
00:43:10.720 the Ukraine-Russian
00:43:12.660 conflict and
00:43:14.020 whether you would
00:43:14.780 vote for more
00:43:16.120 money for Ukraine.
00:43:18.220 Heck no.
00:43:18.980 Look, we've got to
00:43:19.760 keep all of our
00:43:20.240 money right here in
00:43:20.820 the United States.
00:43:21.440 It's like you
00:43:21.860 said.
00:43:22.420 There's 370,000
00:43:23.760 homeless vets in
00:43:24.460 America, 3,000 in
00:43:25.420 my district in
00:43:26.000 Collier alone.
00:43:27.420 That is
00:43:28.080 unconscionable.
00:43:29.800 How can we
00:43:31.040 treat our vets
00:43:31.620 like that?
00:43:32.040 People that went
00:43:32.560 overseas, fought
00:43:33.280 for us, fought
00:43:33.840 for our freedoms,
00:43:34.720 and they're sleeping
00:43:35.400 homeless on the
00:43:36.060 streets while
00:43:36.640 illegal immigrants
00:43:37.600 are coming in
00:43:38.140 getting $2,200 a
00:43:39.460 month and so many
00:43:40.140 other benefits.
00:43:40.800 It's crazy.
00:43:41.820 Why are we
00:43:42.340 protecting Ukraine's
00:43:43.540 border when our
00:43:44.280 borders are being
00:43:44.940 overrun?
00:43:45.620 It makes no sense
00:43:46.680 to me.
00:43:47.400 But I'll tell you
00:43:48.040 this.
00:43:48.820 It actually makes
00:43:49.460 complete sense from
00:43:50.280 their side because we
00:43:51.640 know what they want.
00:43:52.400 They're war hawks.
00:43:53.540 How is it that,
00:43:55.380 and you know well,
00:43:56.180 look, under the
00:43:57.640 Bush administration,
00:43:58.860 the Clintons, the
00:43:59.980 Obamas, and now
00:44:01.740 Joe Biden and
00:44:02.700 Kamala Harris, we
00:44:03.960 have war.
00:44:04.860 Under President
00:44:05.460 Trump, no war.
00:44:06.800 Well, guess what?
00:44:07.500 What it looks like to
00:44:08.360 me is they're just
00:44:08.900 poking the bear.
00:44:09.800 They want World War
00:44:10.860 III.
00:44:11.400 That's what they want
00:44:12.100 more than anything
00:44:12.700 because that money
00:44:13.460 machine just can keep
00:44:14.400 printing that way.
00:44:15.500 They can keep
00:44:15.860 laundering their
00:44:16.420 money.
00:44:16.720 Zelensky can keep
00:44:17.620 buying mansions and
00:44:18.520 yachts and Bugattis,
00:44:19.900 and Americans, you
00:44:21.400 know, are suffering.
00:44:22.440 We can't pay for gas.
00:44:23.720 We can't pay for rent.
00:44:24.620 We can't pay for
00:44:25.680 basic necessities.
00:44:26.840 We can't send our
00:44:27.540 children to school, but
00:44:28.820 these people get to
00:44:30.200 just steal our money
00:44:31.700 and keep us in a
00:44:33.500 perpetual state of
00:44:34.260 war, and this is
00:44:35.280 what Mario Diaz-Balart
00:44:36.260 and the other
00:44:36.640 rhinos vote for, and
00:44:37.620 it's disgusting.
00:44:38.780 So absolutely not.
00:44:40.020 I would never send
00:44:40.680 one.
00:44:41.020 I don't want to send
00:44:41.600 any of our dollars
00:44:42.200 overseas anywhere, to
00:44:43.060 be honest with you,
00:44:44.140 unless it was, I
00:44:45.220 mean, if somebody
00:44:46.000 comes and attacks
00:44:46.660 America in our
00:44:48.020 borders, fine.
00:44:48.580 Let's take it to
00:44:49.240 them.
00:44:49.780 But look, we
00:44:52.200 shouldn't be sending
00:44:52.800 money out anywhere to
00:44:53.640 help anybody else but
00:44:54.440 America first.
00:44:56.060 If America falls, we
00:44:57.220 all fall.
00:44:57.780 The whole world
00:44:58.300 falls.
00:44:59.860 Well, Congressman
00:45:01.380 Mario Diaz-Balart is
00:45:03.680 also throughout his
00:45:04.880 career voted for
00:45:06.220 amnesty for those
00:45:08.520 who are in the
00:45:09.980 country illegally.
00:45:11.540 Now, I agree, and I
00:45:12.620 think you agree with
00:45:14.000 President Trump that
00:45:16.200 those who are in the
00:45:17.340 country illegally should
00:45:18.500 be deported.
00:45:19.180 I mean, there is a
00:45:20.720 way to come into the
00:45:21.600 country legally.
00:45:22.860 We are a country of
00:45:24.180 immigrants.
00:45:24.740 My people came from
00:45:25.640 Italy.
00:45:26.200 Your people came from
00:45:27.400 Italy.
00:45:28.440 But they came here
00:45:29.640 legally.
00:45:30.940 And I think it
00:45:31.940 cheats the people who
00:45:33.940 are seeking to come
00:45:35.040 here legally through
00:45:36.500 the system and who
00:45:37.640 have to wait because
00:45:38.700 it does take time when
00:45:40.560 we just let anybody we
00:45:42.500 want walk over our
00:45:44.260 southern border.
00:45:45.440 So it's yet another
00:45:48.900 example of how Mario
00:45:51.900 Diaz-Balart is out of
00:45:54.580 step with the people in
00:45:56.100 his district.
00:45:57.260 By the way, he was a
00:45:58.980 Democrat right up until
00:46:00.760 the moment he filed to
00:46:01.980 become a Republican
00:46:03.260 candidate for Congress.
00:46:06.560 That's right.
00:46:07.340 He was ahead of the
00:46:08.360 Miami-Dade Young
00:46:09.880 Democrats, which I think
00:46:12.260 tells you where he
00:46:14.020 really stands.
00:46:15.080 It is, sadly, in
00:46:19.800 Miami-Dade politics,
00:46:21.720 with which I'm fairly
00:46:23.500 familiar, many
00:46:26.480 politicians have
00:46:27.560 dined out on their
00:46:28.760 opposition to Fidel
00:46:30.860 Castro.
00:46:31.700 It's a great fundraising
00:46:32.980 tool.
00:46:34.660 But how has life
00:46:35.740 gotten better for the
00:46:36.860 people in Cuba?
00:46:38.520 How has anything
00:46:39.500 changed?
00:46:40.880 Zero.
00:46:41.980 Zero.
00:46:42.360 So it's great.
00:46:45.080 rhetoric, but what
00:46:47.720 we're doing is not
00:46:49.220 working.
00:46:49.760 Now, I'm not
00:46:50.500 recommending lifting
00:46:52.400 the embargoes, but
00:46:54.660 the embargoes are not
00:46:55.720 as effective as they
00:46:57.280 were.
00:46:58.560 The embargoes worked
00:46:59.620 extremely well after
00:47:01.180 the fall of the
00:47:02.380 Soviet Union and
00:47:04.140 after the Russians
00:47:05.000 could no longer
00:47:05.860 subsidize Cuba.
00:47:07.260 But unfortunately,
00:47:07.960 there's a new bad
00:47:09.480 guy in town.
00:47:10.580 The Chinese are now
00:47:12.540 subsidizing Cuba.
00:47:14.560 And here's the most
00:47:15.540 troubling part.
00:47:17.020 It's absolutely
00:47:17.840 clear that the
00:47:20.020 Chinese have
00:47:21.000 established a
00:47:22.020 spy station
00:47:23.120 in Cuba
00:47:24.260 that is,
00:47:25.720 at a minimum,
00:47:26.780 conducting
00:47:27.180 surveillance in
00:47:28.940 the United
00:47:29.380 States.
00:47:29.940 Some military
00:47:32.320 experts I know
00:47:33.920 believe that they
00:47:34.900 have already also
00:47:35.980 mounted missiles
00:47:37.640 in Cuba,
00:47:39.520 the Chinese
00:47:40.520 pointed at the
00:47:42.140 United States.
00:47:43.500 I did a quick
00:47:44.700 search this
00:47:45.520 morning.
00:47:46.600 Mario Diaz-Balard
00:47:47.920 has said nothing
00:47:49.360 whatsoever on
00:47:51.180 this subject.
00:47:52.280 So, Cuba is
00:47:56.120 a danger again
00:47:57.700 now that they're
00:47:58.580 getting money
00:47:59.780 from the
00:48:00.300 communist Chinese.
00:48:02.200 And it's
00:48:03.020 unacceptable
00:48:03.740 for them to
00:48:05.860 spy on us
00:48:07.300 in this way.
00:48:09.340 Again, an issue
00:48:10.660 that your
00:48:11.640 opponent has
00:48:13.400 not raised.
00:48:15.080 Now, Johnny,
00:48:16.300 it is very
00:48:17.280 expensive to
00:48:18.180 run for
00:48:18.780 Congress, as
00:48:19.700 you know.
00:48:20.800 Your district
00:48:21.880 is actually
00:48:22.800 in two
00:48:23.480 different media
00:48:24.780 markets, the
00:48:26.100 Miami-Dade
00:48:26.920 market, as
00:48:28.860 well as the
00:48:29.620 Fort Myers
00:48:30.540 market, which
00:48:31.520 covers the
00:48:32.720 Collier part of
00:48:34.040 your district.
00:48:35.480 Naples.
00:48:36.220 Yeah.
00:48:36.980 Naples,
00:48:37.540 pardon me.
00:48:37.840 Yeah.
00:48:38.800 I misspoke.
00:48:40.360 And,
00:48:41.080 therefore, I
00:48:43.040 want you to
00:48:43.700 tell people
00:48:44.340 where they
00:48:45.320 can go to
00:48:46.360 send you a
00:48:47.660 contribution for
00:48:48.940 this campaign.
00:48:50.740 Anybody can
00:48:51.580 go to
00:48:51.860 frattoforflorida.com
00:48:53.180 or to make
00:48:53.540 it really
00:48:53.880 simple,
00:48:54.580 johnnyfrotto.com.
00:48:56.200 You can go to
00:48:56.860 the website.
00:48:57.580 There's a
00:48:57.840 donation link
00:48:58.460 there.
00:48:59.080 And anything
00:48:59.740 that I can
00:49:00.320 get would be
00:49:00.680 greatly appreciated.
00:49:02.400 But, you
00:49:03.020 know, even
00:49:03.320 more than
00:49:03.700 that, more
00:49:04.220 appreciated is
00:49:04.900 your vote.
00:49:05.420 So, you
00:49:06.020 know, right
00:49:06.900 now early
00:49:07.320 voting is going
00:49:07.920 on.
00:49:08.240 So if you're
00:49:08.560 going to do
00:49:08.820 that, go
00:49:09.180 out and vote
00:49:09.580 for me.
00:49:10.980 And if you're
00:49:12.080 going on August
00:49:12.880 20th, that's
00:49:13.560 the day.
00:49:14.540 So make sure
00:49:14.980 on August 20th
00:49:15.740 you go there,
00:49:16.400 make sure you
00:49:16.880 vote for me,
00:49:17.660 make sure you
00:49:18.100 vote against
00:49:18.520 communism.
00:49:18.920 I mean, I
00:49:20.300 am the true
00:49:20.960 America first
00:49:21.540 candidate, no
00:49:22.140 matter who
00:49:22.580 President Trump
00:49:23.180 endorsed, believe
00:49:23.800 me.
00:49:25.200 You know, I
00:49:26.420 think that's a
00:49:27.460 very key point.
00:49:28.940 Look, since I
00:49:29.800 met you, you
00:49:30.440 made it very
00:49:31.060 clear that you
00:49:32.560 understood that
00:49:33.520 you were taking
00:49:34.080 on a political
00:49:34.800 dynasty, that
00:49:36.680 they were a
00:49:37.700 wash.
00:49:38.280 I think Mario
00:49:39.020 has $1.7
00:49:41.220 million worth
00:49:42.240 of special
00:49:42.940 interest money,
00:49:44.460 lobbyist money.
00:49:46.340 It's never
00:49:47.040 easy to beat
00:49:47.880 an incumbent.
00:49:48.420 Yet, you're
00:49:50.140 a pretty young
00:49:50.640 man, and
00:49:51.680 therefore you've
00:49:52.200 already told me
00:49:52.860 regardless of
00:49:53.960 the results on
00:49:54.940 the 20th, because
00:49:56.200 you started late
00:49:57.080 and it's an
00:49:57.700 uphill insurgent
00:49:59.180 campaign that
00:50:00.800 you're going to
00:50:01.520 run again.
00:50:03.060 And I think
00:50:03.780 that's smart,
00:50:05.600 because I
00:50:06.640 respect people,
00:50:07.720 you know, who
00:50:08.500 get in the
00:50:09.100 arena, not the
00:50:10.060 people who stand
00:50:10.740 on the sidelines
00:50:11.860 and point out,
00:50:13.240 well, Johnny
00:50:13.620 could have done
00:50:14.160 this better, he
00:50:15.060 could have done
00:50:15.560 that better, he
00:50:16.680 maybe should have
00:50:17.320 done this, maybe
00:50:18.020 he should have
00:50:18.420 done that.
00:50:18.960 No, you've
00:50:20.040 had the courage
00:50:20.640 to put your
00:50:21.200 name on the
00:50:21.840 ballot.
00:50:22.780 I know you
00:50:23.560 and your
00:50:24.060 great wife are
00:50:24.860 working very
00:50:25.820 hard, and
00:50:27.260 your aunt, who
00:50:28.000 I love, by
00:50:28.620 the way, working
00:50:30.180 very hard to
00:50:32.200 get your
00:50:32.740 message to the
00:50:33.500 people.
00:50:34.540 You don't have
00:50:35.280 millions of
00:50:35.860 dollars, unlike
00:50:36.740 the special
00:50:37.800 interest-funded
00:50:39.120 incumbent.
00:50:40.520 So, first of
00:50:41.580 all, I want to
00:50:41.960 wish you luck, but
00:50:43.220 I also want to
00:50:43.940 tell you that
00:50:44.980 miracles do
00:50:45.800 happen in
00:50:46.620 politics, and
00:50:48.620 my friends over
00:50:50.440 in Collier, they
00:50:52.180 never see Mario.
00:50:53.700 In fact, many
00:50:54.480 of them don't
00:50:54.940 even know what
00:50:55.960 he looks like.
00:50:57.400 He's been
00:50:58.000 there, how
00:50:58.980 many years?
00:51:00.660 In Collier, I
00:51:01.920 think four.
00:51:03.340 But he's been
00:51:04.120 in Congress, how
00:51:04.960 many years?
00:51:05.760 Oh, 20, this
00:51:06.660 is his 11th
00:51:07.260 term, 22
00:51:07.700 years.
00:51:08.500 22 years.
00:51:09.300 Well, 22
00:51:09.800 years is
00:51:11.140 enough.
00:51:12.500 So, folks, I
00:51:13.920 ask you to, if
00:51:16.160 you live in this
00:51:16.720 district, the 26th
00:51:17.880 district, send
00:51:19.800 Johnny a few
00:51:20.440 bucks for his
00:51:21.040 campaign.
00:51:22.320 Early voting
00:51:23.120 has started.
00:51:24.020 You can vote
00:51:24.760 for him today,
00:51:26.060 but make sure
00:51:27.000 you vote for
00:51:27.860 him on primary
00:51:28.520 day, August
00:51:29.480 20th.
00:51:30.760 All right, Johnny,
00:51:31.360 I'm going to
00:51:31.620 give you the
00:51:32.060 last word.
00:51:34.320 Well, first of
00:51:35.760 all, I want to
00:51:36.180 thank you for
00:51:36.800 all your help,
00:51:37.340 Roger.
00:51:37.600 I mean, you've
00:51:37.940 been incredible,
00:51:38.400 and I'll tell
00:51:38.880 you, I'm
00:51:39.280 Mario, the
00:51:39.840 thing I love
00:51:40.420 is that, you
00:51:41.000 know, I'm
00:51:41.260 fighting a
00:51:42.340 battle that
00:51:43.660 Mario doesn't
00:51:45.020 know how to
00:51:45.440 fight.
00:51:45.700 When we make
00:51:46.220 music videos
00:51:46.840 like we did,
00:51:47.460 and you came
00:51:47.900 into it, and
00:51:48.280 you danced, and
00:51:49.280 you did all
00:51:49.640 that stuff, I
00:51:50.040 mean, that was
00:51:50.380 incredible.
00:51:51.080 That got me so
00:51:51.780 much mileage, I
00:51:52.540 can't tell you,
00:51:53.120 and everybody's
00:51:53.680 loving it, and
00:51:54.380 it really got me
00:51:55.060 known.
00:51:56.000 And now, it's
00:51:57.160 like I'm saying,
00:51:57.660 I'm just going to
00:51:58.020 keep hitting him
00:51:58.460 in ways that he's
00:51:59.780 not expecting,
00:52:00.580 because to win on
00:52:01.500 his battlefield is
00:52:03.160 difficult, but if
00:52:04.540 I hit him in
00:52:05.040 ways that he's
00:52:05.480 not even
00:52:05.800 expecting, that's
00:52:07.060 the way we're
00:52:07.420 going to do
00:52:07.720 this.
00:52:08.360 But like you
00:52:09.100 said, miracles
00:52:09.660 happen.
00:52:10.200 I'm praying on
00:52:10.820 the night of
00:52:11.960 August 20th, I
00:52:12.640 find out I'm
00:52:13.160 the winner.
00:52:13.760 If not, I'm
00:52:14.420 going right back
00:52:15.000 at it.
00:52:15.440 In 2022, we
00:52:17.540 will beat him
00:52:18.080 for sure.
00:52:19.700 All right.
00:52:20.480 This is...
00:52:21.140 I mean, 2026,
00:52:22.200 2022, what am I
00:52:23.020 talking about?
00:52:23.500 Geez, I'm going
00:52:23.860 back in time.
00:52:24.900 Boy.
00:52:26.960 At this
00:52:28.120 juncture, you
00:52:28.560 have every right
00:52:29.580 to be tired.
00:52:30.920 You're working
00:52:31.460 like a dog.
00:52:32.620 Never seen a
00:52:33.380 harder working,
00:52:34.660 engaging candidate.
00:52:35.840 Lisa and I
00:52:37.420 bought our
00:52:37.920 campaign car
00:52:38.680 on Christmas
00:52:40.340 Eve, brand
00:52:41.440 new with seven
00:52:41.960 miles on it.
00:52:42.860 It now has, in
00:52:43.660 six months, 21,300
00:52:45.460 miles.
00:52:46.300 That's how much
00:52:46.900 I'm driving across
00:52:47.600 the alley, because
00:52:48.360 it's both sides.
00:52:49.040 I mean, it's
00:52:50.700 tiring, man, but
00:52:51.380 I love it.
00:52:53.020 Well, look, I
00:52:54.260 don't endorse that
00:52:57.080 many candidates,
00:52:58.060 many, many
00:52:58.600 Republican
00:52:59.120 candidates, because
00:53:00.180 of my long
00:53:01.500 loyalty and
00:53:02.380 personal friendship
00:53:03.140 for Donald
00:53:03.660 Trump, ask
00:53:05.080 for my
00:53:05.460 endorsement.
00:53:06.700 And I just
00:53:07.260 don't have time
00:53:08.020 to vet and
00:53:09.200 study the
00:53:09.980 dynamics of
00:53:10.860 every race.
00:53:12.480 But I will
00:53:12.900 tell you this.
00:53:14.200 I don't only
00:53:15.760 endorse candidates
00:53:16.780 who I know are
00:53:17.940 going to win, so
00:53:19.140 I can later
00:53:20.260 point at a
00:53:20.980 track record and
00:53:21.780 say, oh, I
00:53:22.260 had 90%
00:53:23.260 winners.
00:53:24.560 I endorse good
00:53:26.220 men and women
00:53:27.260 who I think
00:53:28.120 belong in
00:53:28.920 Congress because
00:53:30.480 they believe in
00:53:31.240 something.
00:53:31.600 And here's
00:53:32.700 the thing
00:53:33.000 about Johnny
00:53:33.680 Fracho.
00:53:34.540 He's not
00:53:35.140 running for
00:53:35.700 Congress because
00:53:36.340 he wants a
00:53:36.920 title.
00:53:37.880 He's not
00:53:38.340 running for
00:53:38.800 Congress because
00:53:39.420 he wants a
00:53:40.000 big, fancy
00:53:40.860 office.
00:53:42.200 He's not
00:53:42.560 running for
00:53:43.080 Congress because
00:53:43.720 he wants people
00:53:44.420 to kiss his
00:53:45.160 ass.
00:53:46.080 No, he's
00:53:46.540 running for
00:53:46.980 Congress because
00:53:47.680 he wants to
00:53:48.360 do something
00:53:49.280 for the
00:53:50.080 American people.
00:53:52.020 He's decided
00:53:52.860 to essentially
00:53:54.140 liquidate
00:53:55.240 everything he
00:53:56.040 has and
00:53:56.760 throw 100%
00:53:58.440 of his energy
00:53:59.480 into this race
00:54:00.760 for Congress.
00:54:02.360 And folks,
00:54:02.760 he's going to
00:54:03.200 be a
00:54:03.500 congressman.
00:54:04.380 Can I say
00:54:04.980 one more
00:54:05.360 thing?
00:54:06.100 Certainly.
00:54:06.860 I'm sorry,
00:54:07.300 Roger.
00:54:07.800 I always love
00:54:08.680 to do this
00:54:09.120 because I
00:54:09.340 want to show
00:54:09.720 people my
00:54:10.280 commitment.
00:54:10.960 And this is
00:54:11.300 my commitment.
00:54:12.140 I've had the
00:54:12.620 same phone
00:54:13.040 number for
00:54:13.460 25 years.
00:54:14.900 I'm going to
00:54:15.380 give it out on
00:54:15.900 your show.
00:54:16.280 I give it out
00:54:16.720 on every show
00:54:17.280 because I want
00:54:17.840 people of my
00:54:18.660 district, people
00:54:19.240 in America to
00:54:19.820 call me, to
00:54:20.840 tell me their
00:54:21.500 problems, to
00:54:22.040 tell me their
00:54:22.380 problems with
00:54:22.740 Mario.
00:54:23.360 And I'm going
00:54:23.840 to keep this
00:54:24.220 phone number for
00:54:24.680 the rest of my
00:54:25.140 life.
00:54:25.940 Even no matter
00:54:26.780 where I go in
00:54:27.420 politics, it's
00:54:27.940 always going to
00:54:28.240 be the same.
00:54:28.680 So get ready.
00:54:30.100 310-926-7792.
00:54:34.280 If you want to
00:54:34.700 call me, I will
00:54:35.380 pick up.
00:54:35.920 I will text back.
00:54:36.820 I got so many
00:54:37.400 phone calls the
00:54:38.000 other day after I
00:54:38.620 did a show on
00:54:39.140 Spanish radio, La
00:54:40.000 Padarosa.
00:54:40.500 It was great.
00:54:41.980 And like I said,
00:54:42.860 I'm going to
00:54:43.160 always do that.
00:54:43.800 That's my
00:54:44.160 commitment to the
00:54:44.740 people.
00:54:45.680 And I really
00:54:47.620 appreciate you for
00:54:48.320 having me on today,
00:54:49.040 Roger.
00:54:49.340 I mean, it's been
00:54:49.740 incredible.
00:54:50.160 And your words, I
00:54:51.040 mean, look, you're
00:54:51.440 a living legend.
00:54:52.640 And to have you
00:54:53.280 even, you know,
00:54:54.260 endorse me and to
00:54:55.220 be as good to me as
00:54:56.580 you have been, it's
00:54:57.400 just been incredible.
00:54:58.360 It's been really a
00:54:59.500 dream for me.
00:54:59.980 I'm not going to
00:55:00.420 lie.
00:55:01.360 Well, I'm proud to
00:55:02.120 stand with you,
00:55:02.840 Johnny.
00:55:03.260 Look, you're very
00:55:04.400 proud of your
00:55:05.080 Cuban heritage.
00:55:06.480 You're very proud of
00:55:07.340 your Italian heritage.
00:55:09.120 You're a great
00:55:09.640 candidate.
00:55:10.080 You're a great
00:55:10.940 guy.
00:55:12.040 You're doing this
00:55:13.100 again.
00:55:14.260 It's not about you.
00:55:15.420 It's not even about
00:55:16.400 you.
00:55:17.080 It's about the
00:55:17.900 people.
00:55:18.860 I have nothing but
00:55:19.880 admiration for you.
00:55:21.100 I hope folks will
00:55:21.820 send you a few
00:55:22.520 bucks because, well,
00:55:23.820 running for Congress
00:55:24.680 is extraordinarily
00:55:25.660 expensive.
00:55:29.040 But I'm going to
00:55:30.720 be doing an
00:55:31.380 endorsement video
00:55:32.440 before August 20th
00:55:34.560 to get the word
00:55:35.460 out there.
00:55:36.580 There's really
00:55:37.280 only one MAGA
00:55:38.420 candidate in this
00:55:39.580 race.
00:55:40.700 There's only
00:55:41.220 really one
00:55:42.360 America first
00:55:44.000 candidate in
00:55:45.120 this race.
00:55:46.580 Mario suddenly
00:55:47.960 decided he's a
00:55:49.140 Trump Republican,
00:55:50.280 which doesn't
00:55:51.360 match all the
00:55:52.600 attacks that he's
00:55:53.580 made on Donald
00:55:54.300 Trump over the
00:55:55.940 years.
00:55:57.080 So, Johnny just
00:55:57.880 gave you his
00:55:58.440 cell phone number.
00:55:59.760 If you have
00:56:00.380 questions on any
00:56:01.620 issue, Johnny, I'm
00:56:02.980 going to let you
00:56:03.400 blurt that out one
00:56:04.260 more time so folks
00:56:05.180 can reach you.
00:56:05.720 Tell us again.
00:56:06.320 It's 310-926-7792.
00:56:11.020 All right.
00:56:12.760 There you go.
00:56:13.300 If you have a
00:56:13.660 question for Johnny
00:56:14.740 about any issue in
00:56:16.380 the campaign or if
00:56:17.400 you want to talk
00:56:18.640 about the lack of
00:56:20.020 constituent service by
00:56:21.500 Mario Diaz-Balart or
00:56:23.940 any issue whatsoever,
00:56:24.940 or maybe you want to
00:56:26.600 volunteer or perhaps
00:56:28.440 you'd like to send a
00:56:29.760 check, please call
00:56:30.980 Johnny.
00:56:31.800 He needs your
00:56:32.560 help.
00:56:33.080 He deserves your
00:56:33.920 help.
00:56:34.700 I'm proud to
00:56:35.660 endorse him.
00:56:36.300 Johnny, thanks for
00:56:37.020 joining us today.
00:56:38.540 Thank you so much.
00:56:41.260 It's been an honor.
00:56:42.040 I mean, really
00:56:42.540 amazing.
00:56:44.420 Great.
00:56:44.780 Many thanks.
00:56:45.520 Wonderful.
00:56:46.040 All right, man.
00:56:47.180 All right.
00:56:47.660 That's Johnny
00:56:48.820 Frotto, folks,
00:56:50.740 endorsed by me,
00:56:52.940 endorsed by my
00:56:53.800 good friend,
00:56:54.640 George Papadopoulos.
00:56:56.560 Remember that name
00:56:57.840 if you live in
00:56:59.200 Collier County or
00:57:01.460 that portion of
00:57:02.420 Miami-Dade County.
00:57:04.960 We have a big
00:57:05.780 primary coming up.
00:57:07.600 That's August 20th.
00:57:09.140 But early voting has
00:57:11.140 already begun.
00:57:12.540 You could actually
00:57:13.300 vote today.
00:57:15.480 I'm afraid we have to
00:57:16.660 leave it there.
00:57:18.500 I, again, want to
00:57:19.740 remind you, please go
