00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:07.560 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.580 He is a New York Times best-selling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:17.200 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:22.860 and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:27.620 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:33.600 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:39.160 Welcome. I'm Roger Stone, and yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:45.940 You may recall that after I went through the Soviet-style show trial in Washington, D.C.,
00:00:52.800 which I was charged with lying to Congress in my voluntary testimony before the House Intelligence Committee,
00:01:01.420 despite the fact that any misstatement I made had no material relevance to any underlying crime,
00:01:09.080 because, well, there was no Russian collusion.
00:01:12.380 Nor was there any collaboration between me or the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks.
00:01:19.140 And the government never produced any evidence to the contrary.
00:01:24.160 Nonetheless, I was convicted in a rigged trial.
00:01:28.400 And then the four prosecutors in my case resigned when they said that they were unduly politically pressured
00:01:36.400 by their superiors at the Department of Justice to give me a lenient sentence.
00:01:43.240 In fact, they were asking for seven to nine years,
00:01:46.880 and their sentencing memo specifically accused me of, quote,
00:01:53.080 interference in the election on behalf of a foreign power,
00:01:58.400 which, of course, I was not charged nor convicted of,
00:02:02.000 and for threatening a federal judge.
00:02:06.380 That's not true either.
00:02:09.240 Anyway, the inspector general of the Justice Department launched an investigation into my sentencing
00:02:16.320 based on the demands of various Democrats, including Chuck Schumer.
00:02:21.700 Yesterday, the report was published,
00:02:24.940 and it concluded that there was no undue political pressure
00:02:30.360 by the top echelon of the Department of Justice,
00:02:35.020 including Attorney General Bill Barr,
00:02:37.820 on the four prosecutors in my case.
00:02:41.000 So once again, I have been vindicated.
00:02:44.800 My guest today, Larry Johnson,
00:02:47.920 knows perhaps more about the Russian collusion hoax
00:02:52.740 than many people in America.
00:02:55.280 He is a former CIA officer
00:02:57.940 and a noted author and journalist
00:03:03.420 who has covered the deep state,
00:03:05.840 the Central Intelligence Agency,
00:03:08.700 and the ongoing battle going on in America,
00:03:13.660 where we have a ruling elite that were elected by no one.
00:03:19.500 He is a man for whom I have enormous respect,
00:03:23.160 Larry Johnson, now formerly of the CIA,
00:03:27.040 joins us on The Stone Zone.
00:03:30.620 Thanks, Roger.
00:03:31.980 Pleasure to be with you.
00:03:33.440 Thank you so much.
00:03:34.880 I cut your biography short there because I had a little computer failure.
00:03:40.120 But give us, give folks just a brief
00:03:43.420 on, you know, your background and your experience, if you would.
00:03:47.480 Well, let me first say that I first met Roger Stone
00:03:51.940 when I was teaching at American University
00:03:55.380 in the Washington Semester Program.
00:03:57.700 And you came and addressed a class.
00:03:59.900 I think Tom Snitch was the professor that you came and spoke.
00:04:04.720 So that was 44 years ago.
00:04:08.040 So, yeah, time flies.
00:04:11.220 My time, four years with the CIA,
00:04:14.840 four years with State Department counterterrorism,
00:04:17.080 24 years doing consulting work
00:04:20.140 that included scripting terrorism exercises
00:04:23.180 for military special operations forces,
00:04:26.580 as well as conducting overseas money laundering investigations.
00:04:32.220 Now, what's made my, you know,
00:04:34.440 given me sort of particularly unique insights
00:04:37.460 is I've worked with the CIA
00:04:41.340 on both the operations and analysis side.
00:04:44.080 I've worked with the FBI,
00:04:46.220 was involved in helping support them
00:04:48.100 in their investigation of Pan Am 103.
00:04:50.860 I've worked with all transportation security,
00:04:53.760 both aviation and maritime.
00:04:56.020 I've had access and worked with
00:04:57.840 the National Security Agency.
00:05:00.660 And then I've worked with the military's
00:05:03.280 most elite forces
00:05:04.520 and been involved with highly classified programs.
00:05:09.360 So I know how the game's played.
00:05:12.000 I'm one of those individuals
00:05:13.560 with a unique insight to it.
00:05:16.060 The average person gets the silo effect.
00:05:18.220 You know, they're only on one cone.
00:05:19.980 They work only with the FBI
00:05:21.540 or only with the Secret Service.
00:05:24.260 I've been able to, I cover a broad area.
00:05:27.960 And that I think has helped me understand
00:05:30.200 the abuse of power that was taking place
00:05:34.580 when they went after you.
00:05:35.680 And more importantly,
00:05:36.900 we're going after Donald Trump.
00:05:38.160 I mean, you were just someone who was in the way.
00:05:41.980 Their real goal was to destroy Donald Trump.
00:05:45.120 Yeah, you're absolutely right about that.
00:05:47.320 Looking back at it,
00:05:49.200 sometimes I have to pinch myself
00:05:50.820 because it's a nightmare.
00:05:53.040 Actually, as yesterday's news demonstrates,
00:05:55.980 never really ends.
00:05:58.160 I read the inspector general's report.
00:06:01.080 It absolutely concluded
00:06:02.680 that there was no pressure by Bill Barr
00:06:05.280 or anyone at the upper epsilons of DOJ
00:06:08.800 on the four prosecutors in my case.
00:06:12.220 One of the four prosecutors, however,
00:06:14.100 testified for the House Judiciary Committee
00:06:16.380 saying the opposite.
00:06:18.200 In other words, he perjured himself.
00:06:20.440 He lied before Congress
00:06:22.240 being guilty of the exact same crime
00:06:25.660 that they accused me of.
00:06:27.040 Now, they tried to clean that up in the report.
00:06:30.760 You know, I don't expect the Justice Department
00:06:33.480 to ever discipline any of their own.
00:06:36.380 But what's most interesting
00:06:37.560 is I read a Reuters report this morning,
00:06:39.940 and I have to conclude
00:06:41.900 that the reporter who wrote it
00:06:43.180 never actually read the report
00:06:45.520 because his headline was
00:06:47.400 top DOJ officials interceded
00:06:50.220 to soften Trump's stone's sentence.
00:06:54.400 Not even remotely accurate.
00:06:56.720 Welcome to the fake news.
00:06:59.600 I almost don't know where to start,
00:07:01.360 but I guess the place we should start
00:07:02.840 most logically
00:07:03.600 is with the attempted assassination
00:07:05.880 of Donald Trump
00:07:07.800 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:07:10.240 Every single day,
00:07:11.280 we seem to learn new facts about that.
00:07:15.060 Stunning that the FBI director,
00:07:17.440 Christopher Wray,
00:07:18.340 testified yesterday
00:07:19.220 that the man they accused of doing this,
00:07:22.520 Thomas Matthew Crooks,
00:07:24.400 actually went online
00:07:25.740 to study Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged
00:07:29.940 murder of John F. Kennedy
00:07:32.760 and what the distance was
00:07:35.240 between where the shooter,
00:07:38.440 at least, was and Kennedy.
00:07:41.100 Previously, of course,
00:07:42.080 they had told us
00:07:42.720 that all of Mr. Crook's background
00:07:45.780 and anything on him
00:07:46.980 on the Internet
00:07:47.540 had been scrubbed.
00:07:49.000 So you kind of wonder
00:07:50.140 how that's possible.
00:07:52.000 We also, I think,
00:07:53.640 definitively have learned
00:07:55.520 that the Secret Service
00:07:58.160 and therefore the local
00:07:59.820 and state police
00:08:00.660 were aware of the presence
00:08:02.820 of Mr. Crooks
00:08:04.260 for 62 minutes.
00:08:06.320 They knew he had a gun.
00:08:07.820 They had seen him use
00:08:09.040 a rangefinder,
00:08:10.320 yet they never informed
00:08:12.320 President Trump
00:08:13.260 of this danger,
00:08:14.020 nor did they evacuate him.
00:08:16.500 What are your thoughts on this?
00:08:18.720 So let me just explain
00:08:20.420 that my bona fides
00:08:22.380 to address some of this.
00:08:23.940 When I was at state,
00:08:25.140 one of my responsibilities
00:08:26.300 was to oversee
00:08:27.700 the Anti-Terrorism Assistance
00:08:29.760 Training Program,
00:08:31.540 which meant that we helped,
00:08:32.860 we created
00:08:34.360 and oversaw the curriculum
00:08:36.700 what was taught
00:08:37.860 to foreign police.
00:08:38.800 One of those
00:08:39.220 was executive protection.
00:08:41.280 Plus, I'd worked with
00:08:43.040 the former head
00:08:44.780 of Ronald Reagan's
00:08:46.460 Secret Service team,
00:08:48.140 and we did some
00:08:49.800 security assessments
00:08:51.860 of airports
00:08:52.640 and one school
00:08:54.100 where there was a dignitary.
00:08:55.320 So I have some
00:08:56.880 basic knowledge of this,
00:08:58.420 but also friends
00:09:00.220 in the community.
00:09:02.080 I said initially,
00:09:03.920 this is one of the most
00:09:05.060 appalling displays
00:09:08.520 of incompetence
00:09:09.620 by the Secret Service
00:09:11.240 where this was
00:09:12.580 something darker.
00:09:13.420 This was part of a plot.
00:09:15.260 I was willing to give them
00:09:16.720 the benefit of the doubt
00:09:17.700 of thinking that
00:09:18.360 they were just incompetent.
00:09:20.540 Now, after almost two weeks,
00:09:23.260 we know there was
00:09:24.200 not incompetence.
00:09:25.980 This was a planned,
00:09:27.420 organized plot.
00:09:29.600 This Crooks kid was,
00:09:31.980 he was part of it.
00:09:33.880 I'm not exactly sure
00:09:35.460 how he was used.
00:09:37.480 I'm pretty confident
00:09:38.540 he's the one
00:09:39.200 that fired the shots,
00:09:40.880 despite the other things
00:09:42.800 that are being said.
00:09:43.900 But like that story
00:09:44.820 that they put out,
00:09:45.920 oh, he was studying
00:09:46.820 Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:09:48.560 You know,
00:09:48.860 I'm skeptical of that
00:09:52.100 for I think
00:09:52.880 that they're trying
00:09:53.520 to paint him
00:09:54.360 as this lone wolf,
00:09:55.860 just like Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:09:57.980 And that's why
00:09:58.880 they put the story out.
00:10:00.300 I do not trust
00:10:02.080 anything
00:10:03.380 the FBI says
00:10:05.520 anymore
00:10:06.460 after what we've seen,
00:10:08.280 how they've conducted
00:10:09.260 themselves.
00:10:10.420 And similarly
00:10:11.400 with the Secret Service,
00:10:12.700 where it's become
00:10:14.160 politicized.
00:10:15.800 Because when you,
00:10:16.640 when you,
00:10:16.980 when you total up
00:10:17.960 what was not done
00:10:20.200 to protect Donald Trump,
00:10:23.140 it's clear that this
00:10:23.880 wasn't just a
00:10:24.940 routine oversight.
00:10:26.440 You know,
00:10:27.340 the first,
00:10:27.920 the first task
00:10:28.640 was to conduct
00:10:29.440 the proper advance work,
00:10:31.040 which means you've got
00:10:32.200 a team of Secret Service agents
00:10:33.820 that go out
00:10:34.440 and they look at the venue
00:10:35.440 and they figure out
00:10:36.680 everything they're going
00:10:37.360 to need to do
00:10:37.940 to prevent anybody
00:10:39.120 from being able
00:10:39.800 to get a weapon
00:10:40.460 anywhere close
00:10:41.420 to Donald Trump.
00:10:43.180 And that includes
00:10:44.020 the outside perimeter,
00:10:45.640 which at a minimum
00:10:46.620 they should have extended
00:10:47.620 it to 500 yards
00:10:49.280 and possibly out
00:10:51.100 to a thousand yards.
00:10:52.800 It's always a function
00:10:54.040 of what's out there
00:10:55.440 and about.
00:10:56.440 And particularly
00:10:57.340 that area
00:10:58.600 where the shooter
00:11:00.820 was on top
00:11:02.140 of the roof,
00:11:03.180 that had to be secured
00:11:04.980 and was not.
00:11:07.220 The second thing
00:11:08.420 that's come out
00:11:09.200 and apparently
00:11:10.200 Christopher Wray
00:11:11.560 suggested this
00:11:12.300 in his testimony yesterday
00:11:13.500 was that the
00:11:14.180 counter sniper teams
00:11:15.720 for Secret Service
00:11:17.100 didn't have permission
00:11:18.080 to fire
00:11:18.940 at that side,
00:11:20.640 at the 140 yard target
00:11:22.600 outside the perimeter.
00:11:24.960 Well, that's
00:11:25.480 that that's just wrong.
00:11:28.200 The Secret Service
00:11:29.480 is one of the few
00:11:30.440 organizations
00:11:31.080 where there's
00:11:31.600 standing rules
00:11:32.420 of engagement
00:11:33.140 are that a
00:11:34.340 counter sniper team
00:11:35.260 if they spot somebody
00:11:36.500 that's within their area
00:11:38.080 and that has a weapon,
00:11:41.260 they can take him out
00:11:42.040 and kill him.
00:11:43.100 So you've got that.
00:11:44.600 You've got the fact
00:11:45.400 that there was
00:11:45.880 advanced warnings
00:11:47.180 about this
00:11:47.960 suspicious character.
00:11:49.280 And again,
00:11:50.320 Secret Service protocol.
00:11:51.980 Don't let the person
00:11:53.620 you're protecting
00:11:54.220 on stage
00:11:54.940 until you resolve
00:11:55.700 that issue.
00:11:57.260 They let Trump
00:11:58.020 go on stage.
00:11:59.820 So it was just
00:12:01.320 and then on top of it,
00:12:03.380 they pulled
00:12:04.020 Trump's regular
00:12:05.280 Secret Service
00:12:05.960 detail
00:12:06.420 from that
00:12:07.840 day,
00:12:09.440 sent them
00:12:09.840 reportedly on vacation
00:12:11.240 or maybe deployed
00:12:12.580 them to work
00:12:13.620 for Joe Biden.
00:12:14.400 but the people
00:12:15.960 that they put
00:12:16.400 in charge,
00:12:17.160 my understanding
00:12:18.480 is that the
00:12:19.520 Secret Service
00:12:20.880 director of the
00:12:21.760 Pittsburgh office,
00:12:23.500 he's a cybercrime
00:12:25.520 guy.
00:12:26.020 That's his background.
00:12:27.680 You know,
00:12:27.960 financial crime,
00:12:29.060 cybercrime.
00:12:30.200 He doesn't know
00:12:30.960 anything about
00:12:31.360 protective details
00:12:32.280 and yet they put
00:12:32.880 him in charge.
00:12:34.380 Just because
00:12:35.380 you've reached
00:12:36.100 a certain level
00:12:37.020 in terms of
00:12:37.780 career status
00:12:38.740 in the Secret Service
00:12:40.420 doesn't mean
00:12:41.500 that you actually
00:12:41.980 know what you're
00:12:42.560 doing with that
00:12:43.200 particular case.
00:12:44.400 So when you
00:12:45.740 pile all that
00:12:46.740 together,
00:12:47.380 coupled with,
00:12:48.320 this took place
00:12:49.760 two days before
00:12:50.720 the Republican
00:12:51.380 National Convention
00:12:52.380 and CNN,
00:12:54.720 who has not
00:12:55.320 covered,
00:12:56.500 I don't remember
00:12:57.140 the last time
00:12:57.720 they did live
00:12:58.480 coverage of a
00:12:59.240 Trump rally,
00:13:00.180 oh,
00:13:00.340 they decided to
00:13:01.040 show up and
00:13:01.540 cover the
00:13:01.960 Trump rally
00:13:02.480 that day.
00:13:03.100 Huh.
00:13:03.880 That's an
00:13:04.300 interesting coincidence.
00:13:06.140 And the New York
00:13:06.680 Times reporter,
00:13:07.700 photographer,
00:13:08.620 who takes a
00:13:09.060 picture of the,
00:13:09.880 gets a picture
00:13:10.480 of the bullet,
00:13:11.820 he decides to
00:13:13.940 set his
00:13:14.340 camera up for
00:13:15.160 high-speed
00:13:16.000 photography.
00:13:18.900 Who does that
00:13:20.020 at an event
00:13:20.560 like a rally?
00:13:21.760 So put all
00:13:23.300 that together,
00:13:24.740 it stinks.
00:13:26.820 Yeah,
00:13:27.340 there's just,
00:13:27.820 it seems to be
00:13:28.400 more questions
00:13:29.340 than there are
00:13:30.340 answers.
00:13:31.240 Senator Ron
00:13:31.860 Johnson
00:13:32.300 seemed to
00:13:33.680 indicate after
00:13:34.420 a government
00:13:34.840 briefing that
00:13:35.660 he believed
00:13:36.540 there may have
00:13:37.200 been more
00:13:37.860 than one shooter,
00:13:38.860 maybe as many
00:13:39.600 as two shooters.
00:13:40.800 I've seen,
00:13:42.820 but I'm
00:13:43.200 hardly expert
00:13:44.000 at,
00:13:44.480 acoustical
00:13:45.360 analysis that
00:13:47.160 also seems to
00:13:48.040 point to the
00:13:48.680 possibility of
00:13:49.720 more than
00:13:50.600 one shooter.
00:13:51.920 Do you,
00:13:52.560 based on what
00:13:53.120 you have seen,
00:13:54.460 do you have an
00:13:54.940 opinion on that?
00:13:56.820 Yeah,
00:13:57.060 so the acoustical
00:13:58.240 evidence shows
00:13:59.080 that there were
00:13:59.560 two,
00:14:00.020 maybe three
00:14:00.480 different guns
00:14:01.160 fired.
00:14:01.540 Well,
00:14:02.380 yeah,
00:14:02.860 duh,
00:14:03.320 you've got
00:14:03.880 Crooks
00:14:05.580 firing,
00:14:06.680 you've got
00:14:07.240 at least
00:14:08.400 one
00:14:08.960 Secret Service
00:14:10.280 counter-sniper
00:14:11.300 team firing
00:14:12.000 and then
00:14:12.420 a local
00:14:12.840 police
00:14:13.460 counter-sniper
00:14:15.020 team firing.
00:14:15.980 So that
00:14:16.580 would account
00:14:17.040 for three
00:14:17.580 different types
00:14:18.440 of guns.
00:14:19.760 What I look
00:14:20.340 for is
00:14:21.560 who got
00:14:23.020 shot.
00:14:24.420 Donald Trump
00:14:25.040 got shot,
00:14:26.360 there was,
00:14:27.260 the Corey
00:14:27.780 Campantore
00:14:28.520 was shot
00:14:29.280 in the head
00:14:30.040 and killed
00:14:30.760 and two other
00:14:31.640 individuals.
00:14:32.520 When you look
00:14:33.300 at their
00:14:33.580 physical locations
00:14:34.940 of where they
00:14:35.720 were,
00:14:36.180 they were
00:14:37.220 all in
00:14:37.880 alignment
00:14:38.560 with where
00:14:39.840 Crooks
00:14:40.320 was.
00:14:41.660 So if
00:14:43.200 there was
00:14:43.620 a second
00:14:44.080 shooter
00:14:44.560 that was
00:14:44.920 trying to
00:14:45.460 kill
00:14:45.640 Trump,
00:14:46.700 what I
00:14:47.040 look for
00:14:47.420 is,
00:14:48.140 one,
00:14:48.360 where's
00:14:48.600 the victims?
00:14:50.080 And two,
00:14:51.080 where's the
00:14:51.920 evidence that
00:14:52.460 people who
00:14:52.920 were not
00:14:53.300 in that
00:14:53.640 line of
00:14:54.220 fire
00:14:54.640 were shot?
00:14:56.760 So if
00:14:57.040 you had
00:14:57.820 people more
00:14:58.520 up to the
00:14:59.080 right or
00:15:00.340 left and
00:15:01.020 up to the
00:15:01.580 right,
00:15:02.760 then you
00:15:04.020 say,
00:15:04.260 yeah,
00:15:04.420 it looked
00:15:04.660 like there
00:15:04.920 were multiple
00:15:05.400 shooters.
00:15:06.180 I don't
00:15:06.660 think there
00:15:07.080 were.
00:15:07.840 Now,
00:15:08.540 if the
00:15:09.360 people listening
00:15:10.160 to Ray
00:15:10.520 yesterday,
00:15:11.180 they heard
00:15:11.480 him say,
00:15:11.880 oh,
00:15:12.000 we found
00:15:12.420 eight
00:15:12.740 cartridges
00:15:13.340 next to
00:15:13.960 the body.
00:15:15.760 Now,
00:15:17.120 this underscores
00:15:18.780 that either
00:15:19.560 Ray
00:15:20.140 didn't know
00:15:22.700 what he was
00:15:23.120 saying
00:15:23.660 and that
00:15:26.200 he's
00:15:26.400 ignorant
00:15:26.800 or he
00:15:29.120 was conveying
00:15:30.160 something that
00:15:30.820 doesn't tell us
00:15:32.120 anything about
00:15:32.640 how many shots
00:15:33.280 are fired
00:15:33.720 because a
00:15:34.780 cartridge is
00:15:36.300 a fully
00:15:36.940 intact piece
00:15:38.740 of ammunition.
00:15:39.980 A cartridge
00:15:40.560 consists of
00:15:41.420 four components.
00:15:43.060 It has a
00:15:43.900 primer,
00:15:45.320 a shell
00:15:45.740 casing,
00:15:46.800 gunpowder,
00:15:47.840 and a
00:15:48.440 bullet.
00:15:49.600 So if you
00:15:50.640 fire a
00:15:51.840 cartridge,
00:15:52.860 what's left
00:15:53.760 is an
00:15:54.640 empty shell
00:15:55.560 casing.
00:15:57.180 So when I
00:15:57.860 heard Ray
00:15:58.300 say, oh,
00:15:58.640 we found
00:15:58.960 eight cartridges,
00:15:59.620 I go,
00:16:00.220 okay,
00:16:00.960 so how many
00:16:02.420 did he shoot?
00:16:03.840 I think what
00:16:04.500 he meant to
00:16:04.980 say was
00:16:05.400 there were
00:16:05.760 eight shell
00:16:06.360 casings.
00:16:07.080 It just
00:16:07.540 shows what
00:16:07.960 a dummy
00:16:08.640 Christopher
00:16:10.000 Ray is
00:16:10.560 when it
00:16:10.800 comes to
00:16:11.200 firearms.
00:16:11.700 I mean,
00:16:11.800 this guy,
00:16:12.880 you know,
00:16:13.440 that's amateur
00:16:14.600 hour.
00:16:15.160 That's something
00:16:15.540 that people
00:16:15.920 who don't
00:16:16.320 work with
00:16:16.720 firearms,
00:16:17.660 it's a
00:16:17.900 mistake
00:16:18.220 they'll
00:16:18.480 make.
00:16:19.400 He's the
00:16:19.800 head of
00:16:20.040 the FBI.
00:16:21.040 He should
00:16:21.340 know better.
00:16:23.200 Also,
00:16:23.960 this morning,
00:16:24.880 a story in
00:16:25.700 the UK
00:16:26.140 Daily Mail
00:16:27.220 in which he
00:16:28.500 raises doubts
00:16:29.380 about whether
00:16:30.160 Donald Trump
00:16:30.980 was actually
00:16:31.520 hit by a
00:16:32.200 bullet or
00:16:32.820 whether the
00:16:33.980 wound in
00:16:34.560 his ear
00:16:35.140 was caused
00:16:36.260 by shrapnel.
00:16:38.460 That's
00:16:38.940 ridiculous.
00:16:40.080 Ridiculous.
00:16:41.200 It seems
00:16:41.720 completely
00:16:42.120 ridiculous,
00:16:42.820 but it
00:16:43.240 seems to
00:16:43.740 be,
00:16:44.380 to me,
00:16:45.280 is an
00:16:45.800 effort to
00:16:46.600 try to
00:16:47.440 throw shade
00:16:48.180 on the
00:16:48.600 entire
00:16:49.140 question of
00:16:50.620 the assassination,
00:16:51.620 which brings
00:16:52.120 me to
00:16:52.680 a company
00:16:53.660 called
00:16:54.160 CrowdStrike.
00:16:55.900 Yes.
00:16:57.000 It's
00:16:57.460 interesting,
00:16:58.300 in my
00:16:59.260 trial,
00:16:59.720 the FBI
00:17:01.240 in
00:17:02.020 pretrial
00:17:02.680 motions
00:17:03.220 was forced
00:17:03.820 to admit
00:17:04.400 that they
00:17:05.400 never
00:17:05.680 actually
00:17:06.180 inspected
00:17:06.900 the computer
00:17:07.780 servers at
00:17:08.600 the Democratic
00:17:09.240 National
00:17:09.960 Committee,
00:17:11.100 and that
00:17:11.600 the claim
00:17:12.280 that those
00:17:13.240 had been
00:17:13.860 hacked,
00:17:14.820 specifically
00:17:15.360 by Russian
00:17:16.520 intelligence,
00:17:17.840 came from
00:17:18.660 a report
00:17:19.660 by a
00:17:21.120 private
00:17:21.480 IT security
00:17:22.620 firm,
00:17:23.320 CrowdStrikes.
00:17:24.600 The judge,
00:17:25.780 in my case,
00:17:26.820 would not
00:17:27.340 permit us
00:17:27.880 to have
00:17:28.420 that
00:17:28.740 document.
00:17:29.720 So we
00:17:30.660 were never
00:17:31.060 able to
00:17:31.660 actually
00:17:32.140 see it.
00:17:33.460 It was
00:17:34.020 not until
00:17:34.920 the head
00:17:35.940 of CrowdStrikes,
00:17:37.020 a man named
00:17:37.440 Sean Henry,
00:17:38.520 who just
00:17:39.440 conveniently
00:17:40.140 happened to
00:17:40.920 have been
00:17:41.440 a deputy
00:17:42.060 to Robert
00:17:42.860 Mueller
00:17:43.220 at the
00:17:43.660 FBI,
00:17:45.120 admitted
00:17:45.760 under oath
00:17:46.920 that his
00:17:48.440 draft report
00:17:49.840 included no
00:17:51.320 proof or
00:17:52.620 evidence
00:17:53.020 that the
00:17:54.200 DNC had
00:17:55.320 been hacked
00:17:56.080 by Russian
00:17:57.040 intelligence,
00:17:57.760 or for that
00:17:58.380 matter,
00:17:59.240 anyone else.
00:18:01.160 Therefore,
00:18:02.480 I have to
00:18:03.480 be somewhat
00:18:04.040 suspicious
00:18:04.660 that after
00:18:07.300 the attempted
00:18:08.360 assassination of
00:18:09.400 Trump,
00:18:10.440 and immediately
00:18:11.160 after a
00:18:11.960 highly successful
00:18:13.220 Republican
00:18:14.240 National
00:18:15.100 Convention,
00:18:16.920 that CrowdStrikes
00:18:18.200 claims that a
00:18:19.420 glitch in
00:18:20.180 their
00:18:20.660 computer
00:18:22.780 architecture,
00:18:23.800 their IT
00:18:24.840 architecture,
00:18:26.320 caused one
00:18:26.900 of the
00:18:27.080 major
00:18:27.420 dislocations
00:18:28.360 in American
00:18:29.120 history,
00:18:29.580 shutting down
00:18:30.100 airlines,
00:18:31.200 railroads,
00:18:31.980 banks,
00:18:32.620 retail facilities,
00:18:34.220 causing havoc,
00:18:35.320 but completely
00:18:36.480 changing the
00:18:37.560 news cycle.
00:18:38.880 Is it too
00:18:39.720 far-fetched to
00:18:40.740 say, given
00:18:41.660 the fact that
00:18:42.240 for two years
00:18:42.900 they lied
00:18:43.380 about the
00:18:44.820 servers at
00:18:45.460 the DNC
00:18:46.060 being hacked
00:18:46.640 by the
00:18:47.060 Russians,
00:18:47.860 and were part
00:18:48.440 of a major
00:18:49.720 disinformation
00:18:50.560 campaign,
00:18:51.500 extremely well
00:18:52.300 covered, by the
00:18:53.240 way, by
00:18:53.760 Aaron Maté,
00:18:55.100 then at
00:18:55.660 Clear
00:18:56.080 Investigations,
00:18:58.300 is it a
00:19:00.460 crazy conspiracy
00:19:01.680 theory that
00:19:03.240 this may have
00:19:03.920 been to
00:19:04.500 change the
00:19:05.000 news cycle?
00:19:06.680 No, people
00:19:07.240 need to
00:19:07.580 understand that
00:19:08.240 CrowdStrike,
00:19:09.200 in my opinion,
00:19:10.500 has been a
00:19:11.620 tool of the
00:19:12.200 deep state.
00:19:12.860 It goes back
00:19:13.340 well over
00:19:13.780 eight years.
00:19:15.140 So if you
00:19:15.560 recall the
00:19:16.300 legend about
00:19:18.000 what happened
00:19:18.580 at the DNC,
00:19:19.480 that it was a
00:19:20.020 Russian hack,
00:19:21.000 CrowdStrike
00:19:23.520 was part of
00:19:25.720 that lie,
00:19:26.860 and here's
00:19:27.380 why it's a
00:19:27.880 lie.
00:19:28.660 The actual
00:19:29.460 founder of
00:19:30.060 CrowdStrike
00:19:30.680 was a guy
00:19:31.480 named
00:19:31.700 Alperovitch,
00:19:32.700 a Ukrainian
00:19:33.740 Jew.
00:19:35.860 It's funny
00:19:36.420 how Ukraine
00:19:37.260 keeps popping
00:19:37.900 up in all
00:19:38.440 of these
00:19:38.720 things.
00:19:40.120 Sean Henry,
00:19:40.900 you're correct,
00:19:41.380 he was the
00:19:41.840 CIO because
00:19:43.260 he had headed
00:19:44.000 up cyber
00:19:44.660 security,
00:19:46.360 the cyber
00:19:47.160 unit at
00:19:47.840 the FBI.
00:19:48.420 So according
00:19:50.120 to Alperovitch,
00:19:51.060 and these
00:19:51.240 are all,
00:19:51.800 again,
00:19:52.120 not my
00:19:52.500 opinions,
00:19:53.200 these are
00:19:53.460 all public
00:19:53.920 sources,
00:19:54.460 can back
00:19:54.840 them up.
00:19:55.900 He claimed
00:19:56.780 that they
00:19:57.100 were called
00:19:57.640 into the
00:19:59.160 DNC either
00:20:00.100 on April
00:20:00.560 29th or
00:20:01.380 May 2nd.
00:20:02.040 He gives
00:20:02.360 them two
00:20:02.660 different
00:20:02.940 interviews,
00:20:03.520 gives two
00:20:03.820 different
00:20:04.120 dates.
00:20:05.180 But early
00:20:06.080 in the first
00:20:06.720 week of May,
00:20:07.360 they discovered
00:20:07.960 that the
00:20:08.540 Russians had
00:20:09.260 penetrated the
00:20:10.060 DNC.
00:20:11.300 So pay
00:20:11.680 attention to
00:20:12.200 the timeline.
00:20:13.320 So by May
00:20:13.840 5th, they
00:20:15.080 knew that the
00:20:15.880 Russians were
00:20:16.520 inside the
00:20:17.500 DNC servers.
00:20:19.260 And what
00:20:19.700 did CrowdStrike
00:20:20.520 do?
00:20:21.620 Nothing.
00:20:22.980 They wait
00:20:23.860 until June
00:20:24.860 10th to
00:20:26.520 shut down
00:20:27.440 the servers
00:20:28.060 and to
00:20:28.760 clean them
00:20:29.380 out and
00:20:29.860 get rid of
00:20:30.340 the Russians.
00:20:31.180 So they
00:20:31.780 wait 42
00:20:32.520 days roughly.
00:20:34.160 Now what
00:20:34.460 happened in
00:20:34.940 between them?
00:20:35.900 Well, we
00:20:36.380 know from
00:20:37.100 the WikiLeaks
00:20:38.500 cables that
00:20:40.520 came from
00:20:41.200 the DNC
00:20:41.860 because there's
00:20:42.780 metadata on
00:20:43.760 them that
00:20:44.120 show you
00:20:44.860 when they
00:20:45.560 were actually
00:20:46.340 removed from
00:20:48.580 the DNC
00:20:49.640 server and
00:20:51.380 how they
00:20:52.580 were removed.
00:20:54.000 They were
00:20:54.700 not taken
00:20:55.340 by what's
00:20:55.900 called spear
00:20:56.540 phishing.
00:20:57.500 You know,
00:20:57.660 when somebody
00:20:58.060 sends you a
00:20:58.680 message saying,
00:20:59.340 hey, this
00:20:59.900 is your
00:21:01.260 Uncle Bob.
00:21:02.220 Take a look
00:21:02.660 at my
00:21:02.960 pictures.
00:21:03.620 And you
00:21:03.820 click on
00:21:04.360 it and
00:21:04.700 boom, they
00:21:05.760 grab your
00:21:06.240 information off
00:21:06.960 your computer.
00:21:07.780 No, this
00:21:08.900 was downloaded
00:21:09.780 onto a
00:21:10.980 thumb drive or
00:21:11.760 some other
00:21:12.200 electronic media.
00:21:13.940 Number one,
00:21:14.740 the download
00:21:15.320 took place on
00:21:16.260 May 25th.
00:21:17.880 So from
00:21:18.940 May 25th
00:21:20.560 until June
00:21:21.340 10th, a
00:21:23.920 little more
00:21:24.560 than two
00:21:25.000 weeks.
00:21:26.420 And what
00:21:27.220 happened in
00:21:27.700 that time
00:21:28.140 frame is
00:21:28.620 that the
00:21:29.140 CIA, working
00:21:31.200 with the
00:21:31.640 Democrat
00:21:32.500 National
00:21:33.100 Committee,
00:21:34.200 because you
00:21:34.620 say, well,
00:21:35.760 why is the
00:21:36.840 intelligence
00:21:37.220 community
00:21:37.800 involved?
00:21:38.260 because when
00:21:39.720 Seth Rich,
00:21:41.300 and in my
00:21:41.720 view, Seth
00:21:42.340 Rich is the
00:21:42.900 one who
00:21:43.360 took the
00:21:44.440 data, he
00:21:46.100 sold it to
00:21:47.240 WikiLeaks.
00:21:48.400 Well, both
00:21:49.160 NSA, British
00:21:51.080 GCHQ, their
00:21:52.420 version of the
00:21:53.080 NSA, and the
00:21:54.320 CIA, and the
00:21:55.440 MI6, they were
00:21:56.860 collecting and
00:21:57.440 monitoring any
00:21:58.460 kind of
00:21:58.980 communication that
00:21:59.860 was coming in
00:22:00.640 to WikiLeaks.
00:22:03.300 Man, when they
00:22:03.880 saw that, they
00:22:04.480 realized they had a
00:22:05.140 problem.
00:22:05.480 We've got to
00:22:05.820 come up with
00:22:06.200 an explanation
00:22:06.900 how WikiLeaks
00:22:09.200 got a hold of
00:22:09.840 this, and we'll
00:22:10.280 blame it on the
00:22:10.860 Russians.
00:22:11.580 So they created
00:22:12.280 the story, and
00:22:13.640 they created a
00:22:14.260 character called
00:22:14.900 Guccifer 2.0, and
00:22:16.960 we know later
00:22:17.780 from another
00:22:18.880 leak to
00:22:20.340 WikiLeaks of
00:22:21.620 Vault 7
00:22:22.560 material, it
00:22:24.340 was the
00:22:24.900 cyber
00:22:25.600 tools, cyber
00:22:27.420 warfare tools
00:22:28.200 used by the
00:22:28.880 CIA, that
00:22:30.240 they were able
00:22:30.740 to create
00:22:31.880 these
00:22:33.500 I guess
00:22:35.300 legends
00:22:35.860 overseas that
00:22:37.080 would make
00:22:37.380 you think
00:22:38.040 you were
00:22:38.340 dealing with
00:22:38.880 a foreign
00:22:39.240 entity.
00:22:40.200 So here's
00:22:40.960 CrowdStrike
00:22:41.900 helping lie
00:22:43.380 and fabricate,
00:22:44.560 and they're
00:22:44.760 directly working
00:22:45.900 not just with
00:22:47.040 the FBI, but
00:22:48.560 with the
00:22:49.040 CIA to
00:22:50.680 create this
00:22:51.540 lie that
00:22:53.220 the Russians
00:22:53.840 hacked the
00:22:54.480 DNC.
00:22:55.240 They did
00:22:55.540 not, and
00:22:56.160 people say,
00:22:57.180 well, you
00:22:57.860 shouldn't raise
00:22:58.380 Seth Rich in
00:22:59.040 that way.
00:22:59.500 Well, let me
00:22:59.820 just lay out
00:23:01.300 this fact for
00:23:02.120 you.
00:23:02.340 the fact
00:23:03.620 that Seth
00:23:04.360 Rich died
00:23:05.440 in what
00:23:05.820 appeared to
00:23:06.340 be a
00:23:07.360 random
00:23:07.920 robbery
00:23:08.840 murder in
00:23:10.020 the streets
00:23:10.420 of D.C.
00:23:11.440 Domestic
00:23:12.040 crime, right?
00:23:13.540 Except the
00:23:14.040 Washington
00:23:14.460 field office
00:23:15.340 was brought
00:23:15.900 into it
00:23:16.500 to investigate,
00:23:18.600 and they
00:23:19.860 were communicating
00:23:21.200 the nature
00:23:21.980 of the
00:23:22.320 investigation
00:23:22.880 with one
00:23:23.880 Peter Strzok,
00:23:25.200 who at
00:23:25.720 the time
00:23:26.300 was running
00:23:27.520 the FBI
00:23:28.360 counterintelligence
00:23:30.380 shop.
00:23:31.680 he was
00:23:32.160 involved
00:23:32.540 there.
00:23:34.000 Who in
00:23:34.280 the world
00:23:34.680 brings in
00:23:35.280 FBI
00:23:35.740 counterintelligence
00:23:36.880 whose job
00:23:37.380 is to
00:23:37.700 monitor
00:23:38.040 foreign
00:23:38.480 activity
00:23:39.080 on a
00:23:40.200 domestic
00:23:40.640 robbery?
00:23:41.900 Does that
00:23:42.260 make sense?
00:23:43.480 So, when
00:23:44.240 I see anomalies
00:23:45.400 like this,
00:23:47.080 and then
00:23:48.280 CrowdStrike shows
00:23:49.460 up and has
00:23:50.000 this convenient
00:23:50.640 software outage
00:23:51.760 because they're
00:23:52.400 incompetent,
00:23:53.540 again, is
00:23:54.960 CrowdStrike
00:23:55.940 incompetent?
00:23:56.620 Well, if
00:23:56.940 they're
00:23:57.060 incompetent,
00:23:57.640 everybody
00:23:58.020 that's
00:23:58.320 invested
00:23:58.720 in, you
00:23:59.700 know, their
00:24:00.180 market cap
00:24:00.880 is somewhere
00:24:01.280 in the
00:24:01.600 multi-billions,
00:24:02.480 I believe.
00:24:03.160 The stock
00:24:03.720 was selling
00:24:04.200 at $350
00:24:05.440 a share.
00:24:07.580 So, you
00:24:08.280 know, that's
00:24:08.800 not a penny
00:24:10.340 stock.
00:24:11.580 And yet,
00:24:12.540 they can't
00:24:13.260 get a patch
00:24:13.940 right.
00:24:15.000 I've heard
00:24:15.680 some speculation.
00:24:16.760 I don't have
00:24:17.160 any way to
00:24:17.660 validate it,
00:24:18.600 but it has
00:24:19.420 to be looked
00:24:19.920 at.
00:24:20.780 Was this
00:24:21.420 actually part
00:24:22.220 of a deliberate
00:24:22.860 effort to help
00:24:23.580 create a
00:24:25.520 cover to
00:24:26.660 divert, as
00:24:27.260 you say, to
00:24:27.900 divert attention
00:24:28.640 away from the
00:24:29.280 assassination, and
00:24:30.040 more importantly,
00:24:31.320 to maybe clean
00:24:31.920 up some files
00:24:32.700 that might have
00:24:33.340 implicated the
00:24:35.000 people in the
00:24:36.340 U.S.
00:24:36.700 government that
00:24:37.280 were supporting
00:24:37.920 or helping
00:24:38.420 crooks carry
00:24:40.200 out this
00:24:40.640 assassination
00:24:41.180 attempt.
00:24:43.160 Now, I'm
00:24:43.860 particularly
00:24:44.340 interested to
00:24:45.840 what you say
00:24:46.600 about
00:24:47.180 Guccifer 2.0.
00:24:50.200 I was kind
00:24:51.460 of shocked in
00:24:52.180 early 2019
00:24:53.560 when I was
00:24:54.000 contacted by
00:24:55.000 the smoking
00:24:55.640 gun, and
00:24:57.220 they had
00:24:57.960 the content
00:24:59.120 of direct
00:25:00.700 messages on
00:25:02.000 Twitter between
00:25:03.020 myself and
00:25:04.860 the entity
00:25:05.500 identifying
00:25:06.000 themselves as
00:25:06.900 Guccifer 2.0.
00:25:09.380 And, of
00:25:10.180 course, the
00:25:10.520 headline was
00:25:11.380 Roger Stone
00:25:12.380 communicates,
00:25:13.500 a Trump
00:25:13.760 associate
00:25:14.160 communicates
00:25:14.840 with a
00:25:15.180 Russian
00:25:15.480 asset.
00:25:16.840 Well, I'm
00:25:17.260 not sure that
00:25:17.960 he was a
00:25:18.260 Russian asset,
00:25:19.020 but most
00:25:19.380 importantly,
00:25:20.720 our 28-word
00:25:22.340 exchange is
00:25:23.500 entirely
00:25:24.040 benign, and
00:25:25.520 it took
00:25:25.940 place after
00:25:27.280 WikiLeaks had
00:25:28.080 already published
00:25:28.940 all of the
00:25:29.680 DNC and
00:25:30.760 Hillary Clinton
00:25:31.380 material.
00:25:32.540 So just
00:25:32.840 chronologically,
00:25:34.760 we could not,
00:25:35.460 and it's the only
00:25:36.060 communication we
00:25:36.920 had, so
00:25:37.360 chronologically,
00:25:38.520 would not have
00:25:39.660 been possible for
00:25:40.940 me to be
00:25:41.380 involved in the
00:25:42.780 obtaining or
00:25:44.040 dissemination of
00:25:45.340 that material,
00:25:46.320 which of course
00:25:46.820 I wasn't.
00:25:47.600 interestingly
00:25:48.600 enough, after
00:25:49.380 I was
00:25:49.680 pardoned,
00:25:50.860 there was
00:25:51.800 an op-ed
00:25:52.520 piece published
00:25:53.380 in the
00:25:53.760 Washington Post
00:25:54.440 by Robert
00:25:55.500 Mueller,
00:25:56.040 which we
00:25:56.440 both know
00:25:57.120 was really
00:25:57.460 written by
00:25:57.980 Andrew
00:25:58.380 Weissman,
00:25:59.460 that said
00:26:00.300 Stone was
00:26:01.140 in contact
00:26:01.720 with Russian
00:26:03.220 intelligence
00:26:03.820 assets,
00:26:04.820 with an S.
00:26:05.800 I wasn't
00:26:06.820 even in
00:26:07.220 contact with
00:26:07.840 one,
00:26:08.220 never mind
00:26:08.720 multiple.
00:26:09.960 I must
00:26:10.980 publish and
00:26:13.180 fully disclose
00:26:13.860 all that
00:26:14.560 content,
00:26:15.400 and it
00:26:15.880 proved nothing
00:26:16.920 whatsoever.
00:26:18.820 But before
00:26:20.480 we get off
00:26:21.460 of Russian
00:26:22.940 collusion,
00:26:24.220 we waited
00:26:24.780 long, five
00:26:26.160 years for
00:26:26.800 the Durham
00:26:27.640 report,
00:26:29.140 yet Mr.
00:26:29.600 Durham didn't
00:26:30.140 address any
00:26:30.840 of these issues
00:26:31.540 whatsoever.
00:26:32.300 He seems to
00:26:32.920 have focused
00:26:33.920 solely on the
00:26:34.800 Steele dossier,
00:26:35.800 which we
00:26:36.400 already knew
00:26:37.040 was a fraud
00:26:38.380 paid for
00:26:39.160 by Hillary
00:26:39.640 Clinton
00:26:40.000 with laundered
00:26:41.400 campaign funds,
00:26:42.860 but he never
00:26:43.680 addressed any
00:26:44.680 of these
00:26:45.320 issues
00:26:45.880 whatsoever
00:26:46.520 regarding the
00:26:47.540 alleged hacking.
00:26:48.880 Did that
00:26:49.300 surprise you?
00:26:51.340 Yes.
00:26:52.460 I really,
00:26:53.400 I thought
00:26:54.560 Durham was
00:26:55.180 going to be
00:26:55.880 more of a
00:26:56.580 stand-up guy,
00:26:57.440 and he
00:26:58.420 failed.
00:26:59.240 He chickened
00:26:59.920 out.
00:27:01.060 Look,
00:27:01.960 you were in
00:27:03.040 communicating when
00:27:03.780 Guccifer 2.0
00:27:04.820 was talking to,
00:27:05.400 you're talking
00:27:05.840 to the CIA.
00:27:07.140 That was a
00:27:07.560 CIA operation,
00:27:09.100 stone-cold,
00:27:10.100 you know,
00:27:10.440 a stone-cold
00:27:11.680 CIA operation.
00:27:13.560 Have no doubt
00:27:14.120 about that.
00:27:15.880 Because,
00:27:16.680 you know,
00:27:17.260 when they
00:27:18.000 looked at,
00:27:18.400 when they
00:27:18.600 created the
00:27:19.140 metadata
00:27:20.060 for the
00:27:21.360 Guccifer 2.0
00:27:22.320 messages,
00:27:23.420 metadata are
00:27:24.040 things that
00:27:24.420 you'll find
00:27:24.800 like in
00:27:25.220 footers or
00:27:25.840 headers of
00:27:26.380 messages.
00:27:26.780 They're normally
00:27:27.460 not visible
00:27:28.740 when you read
00:27:29.860 them,
00:27:30.000 but they
00:27:31.420 put in
00:27:32.020 the name
00:27:32.440 of Felix
00:27:33.040 Derzhensky
00:27:33.860 in Russian
00:27:34.920 script,
00:27:36.040 in Cyrillic
00:27:37.100 alphabet.
00:27:38.680 Well,
00:27:38.920 Derzhensky
00:27:39.400 was the
00:27:39.840 first head
00:27:40.320 of,
00:27:40.680 I guess
00:27:41.020 they called
00:27:41.320 it the
00:27:41.560 Czech,
00:27:42.060 and then
00:27:42.400 it became
00:27:42.900 later the
00:27:43.520 NKVD.
00:27:44.740 It was
00:27:44.860 the secret
00:27:46.240 police for
00:27:46.860 Lenin.
00:27:48.040 So,
00:27:48.820 if you're
00:27:49.460 trying to
00:27:49.820 say,
00:27:50.080 hey,
00:27:50.640 how do
00:27:50.940 we make
00:27:51.260 this look
00:27:51.580 like it's
00:27:51.980 Russian?
00:27:53.220 Or,
00:27:53.660 it's like,
00:27:53.920 say,
00:27:54.120 how do we
00:27:54.620 make this
00:27:54.960 look like
00:27:55.320 it's
00:27:55.800 associated
00:27:56.300 with Nazis?
00:27:57.080 Well,
00:27:57.220 let's put
00:27:57.500 the name
00:27:57.800 Adolf
00:27:58.120 Hitler
00:27:58.360 in it.
00:27:58.780 Yeah,
00:27:59.140 that'll
00:27:59.500 do it.
00:28:00.560 That's
00:28:00.840 exactly
00:28:01.180 what they
00:28:01.540 did.
00:28:02.440 So,
00:28:03.020 this
00:28:03.160 Guccifer
00:28:03.560 2.0
00:28:04.160 character
00:28:04.580 was designed
00:28:05.380 to both
00:28:05.840 entrap
00:28:06.400 and snare
00:28:07.060 and implicate
00:28:08.940 other people
00:28:09.520 as part of
00:28:11.140 this broader
00:28:11.760 Russian
00:28:12.120 narrative.
00:28:13.220 I think
00:28:14.180 it is so
00:28:15.020 important for
00:28:16.120 the American
00:28:16.580 people to
00:28:17.180 understand
00:28:17.740 that the
00:28:20.000 abuse of
00:28:20.920 the intelligence
00:28:21.580 agencies,
00:28:22.460 and we're
00:28:22.700 not just
00:28:23.160 talking CIA,
00:28:25.840 FBI,
00:28:26.300 but it
00:28:26.800 also includes
00:28:27.580 NSA.
00:28:28.980 Fact of the
00:28:29.800 matter was
00:28:30.320 starting in
00:28:30.920 the summer
00:28:31.500 of 2015,
00:28:34.020 Hillary Clinton
00:28:34.860 working through
00:28:35.480 John Brennan
00:28:36.160 convinced
00:28:37.160 Brennan to
00:28:37.820 set up a
00:28:38.720 task force
00:28:39.360 and it was
00:28:39.940 a task force
00:28:40.940 that was
00:28:41.200 taking data
00:28:42.580 from the
00:28:44.220 National Security
00:28:45.040 Agency,
00:28:45.540 which had been
00:28:46.120 collected
00:28:46.640 illegally
00:28:47.620 against
00:28:48.480 Americans.
00:28:49.680 Some of it
00:28:50.140 had been
00:28:50.360 collected by
00:28:50.840 the Brits
00:28:51.340 and passed
00:28:51.980 to us,
00:28:52.860 but they
00:28:53.520 were targeting
00:28:54.360 all presidential
00:28:55.600 candidates,
00:28:56.080 including
00:28:56.540 Bernie
00:28:56.880 Sanders.
00:28:58.140 And then
00:28:58.400 as time
00:28:59.480 went on
00:29:00.320 and they
00:29:00.700 realized that
00:29:01.540 Donald Trump
00:29:02.100 was likely
00:29:02.580 to be the
00:29:03.040 winner,
00:29:03.760 then they
00:29:04.100 focused all
00:29:04.880 the resources
00:29:05.780 and assets
00:29:06.420 on destroying
00:29:07.380 him.
00:29:08.640 I mean,
00:29:09.420 we live in
00:29:10.360 something that
00:29:10.940 I don't even
00:29:11.580 believe that
00:29:12.040 the Soviet
00:29:12.980 Union in
00:29:13.920 its worst
00:29:14.700 days was
00:29:15.500 this span.
00:29:16.660 That's where
00:29:17.380 we are.
00:29:18.480 And so I
00:29:19.380 regret to
00:29:20.140 say,
00:29:21.040 and you can
00:29:21.540 see the
00:29:21.840 posters on the
00:29:23.200 wall behind
00:29:23.820 me when
00:29:24.960 I was at
00:29:25.480 state.
00:29:26.420 One of my
00:29:27.260 jobs was
00:29:27.760 the terrorism
00:29:28.260 rewards
00:29:28.800 program.
00:29:29.280 I worked
00:29:29.580 closely with
00:29:30.320 the FBI
00:29:30.860 on that,
00:29:31.360 with Floyd
00:29:31.800 Clark,
00:29:32.240 who was the
00:29:32.560 deputy
00:29:32.820 director.
00:29:33.940 So I
00:29:34.380 don't have
00:29:34.740 an animus
00:29:35.340 towards the
00:29:35.940 FBI,
00:29:36.880 but I can
00:29:37.840 tell you that
00:29:38.240 my friends
00:29:38.800 who I
00:29:39.080 worked with
00:29:40.080 back then,
00:29:41.280 and they
00:29:41.580 watched what
00:29:42.100 has happened
00:29:42.680 to the FBI
00:29:43.420 today,
00:29:44.140 to the CIA,
00:29:45.960 it's appalling.
00:29:47.700 They're
00:29:47.840 politicized
00:29:49.160 organs of
00:29:51.080 the Democratic
00:29:51.940 Party.
00:29:52.980 They are a
00:29:53.760 danger to
00:29:54.880 Americans and
00:29:55.820 American freedom.
00:29:58.040 A difficult
00:29:59.200 question,
00:30:00.120 Larry.
00:30:00.660 I've been
00:30:01.360 a friend of
00:30:02.860 Donald Trump's
00:30:03.440 for 45
00:30:03.980 years,
00:30:05.420 and I fear
00:30:06.440 another attempt
00:30:07.220 on his life.
00:30:08.660 I think he
00:30:09.800 is such an
00:30:10.340 existential threat
00:30:11.380 to the
00:30:11.720 establishment
00:30:12.140 and to
00:30:13.620 those who
00:30:14.120 have many
00:30:15.140 deep crimes
00:30:16.000 they have
00:30:16.480 committed
00:30:16.880 and who
00:30:18.080 fear the
00:30:19.160 possibility
00:30:19.780 of being
00:30:20.120 brought to
00:30:20.600 justice.
00:30:21.780 So I'm
00:30:22.140 not trying
00:30:22.440 to wish
00:30:22.740 this into
00:30:23.500 happening,
00:30:24.940 but the
00:30:27.900 CIA's,
00:30:28.740 pardon me,
00:30:29.100 the Secret
00:30:29.920 Service's
00:30:30.500 failures here
00:30:31.060 are so
00:30:31.400 manifest,
00:30:32.680 leaving
00:30:33.340 security to
00:30:34.480 them again,
00:30:35.400 even with
00:30:35.780 a beefed-up
00:30:36.540 detail and
00:30:37.260 so on.
00:30:38.180 I'm really
00:30:38.880 scared about
00:30:39.960 this.
00:30:40.200 I'm worried
00:30:40.480 about this.
00:30:42.500 Are those
00:30:44.180 fears
00:30:44.760 unfounded,
00:30:45.760 or should
00:30:46.180 I be
00:30:46.500 concerned?
00:30:47.640 Not entirely
00:30:48.220 justified.
00:30:49.160 In fact,
00:30:49.720 one thing
00:30:50.300 I really
00:30:51.420 worry about
00:30:52.080 is the
00:30:52.680 use of
00:30:53.760 a drone
00:30:54.280 on Donald
00:30:54.980 Trump's
00:30:55.460 aircraft
00:30:55.900 when it's
00:30:56.580 either taking
00:30:57.100 off or
00:30:57.560 landing.
00:30:58.580 Because you
00:30:59.240 can easily
00:30:59.680 fly a drone
00:31:00.620 into the
00:31:01.120 engines,
00:31:01.440 just like the
00:31:02.080 bird strike
00:31:02.680 that took
00:31:03.060 place on
00:31:04.440 that plane
00:31:05.280 that flew
00:31:05.640 out of
00:31:06.080 LaGuardia
00:31:07.320 with Captain
00:31:09.540 Sully,
00:31:10.640 as they
00:31:10.860 called him.
00:31:12.080 So I don't
00:31:13.600 think they're
00:31:13.960 going to
00:31:14.180 stop.
00:31:14.540 And frankly,
00:31:18.960 the Secret
00:31:19.660 Service has
00:31:20.280 been sloppy.
00:31:21.340 Roger, the
00:31:22.640 last time I
00:31:23.240 saw you,
00:31:24.660 we just
00:31:25.140 crossed paths
00:31:25.920 at Mar-a-Lago
00:31:27.100 back in
00:31:27.820 November of
00:31:28.520 22.
00:31:29.180 It was a
00:31:30.260 Lincoln Day
00:31:30.800 dinner or
00:31:31.380 something.
00:31:32.860 And my
00:31:34.760 wife and
00:31:35.320 I, we
00:31:36.420 were there
00:31:36.720 with the
00:31:37.140 guys that
00:31:37.840 run the
00:31:38.080 Gateway
00:31:38.340 Pundit.
00:31:39.600 And I
00:31:40.640 carry
00:31:41.000 concealed
00:31:41.600 firearms.
00:31:42.980 So we
00:31:43.400 had my
00:31:43.840 concealed
00:31:44.540 firearms in
00:31:45.420 the car,
00:31:46.440 locked up.
00:31:47.140 I had them
00:31:47.460 locked in
00:31:47.840 the center
00:31:48.160 console.
00:31:48.960 But we
00:31:49.500 drove on to
00:31:50.000 Mar-a-Lago
00:31:50.560 and the
00:31:51.040 Secret Service
00:31:51.580 agent said,
00:31:52.140 hey, do you
00:31:52.500 have any
00:31:52.980 firearms?
00:31:53.620 I said,
00:31:54.320 well, yeah,
00:31:54.920 I do.
00:31:55.380 They're right
00:31:55.720 here.
00:31:55.960 And they
00:31:56.060 go, oh,
00:31:56.360 no, you
00:31:56.700 can't be
00:31:56.980 I have
00:31:57.220 those here.
00:31:58.060 So I
00:31:58.800 drove off,
00:31:59.840 went back
00:32:00.160 to the
00:32:00.380 hotel,
00:32:00.840 locked
00:32:01.060 them up,
00:32:01.980 came back
00:32:02.580 and Secret
00:32:04.020 Service
00:32:04.300 agent said,
00:32:04.940 did you
00:32:05.040 get rid of
00:32:05.320 those firearms?
00:32:05.960 I said,
00:32:06.240 yeah,
00:32:08.820 wait a
00:32:09.420 second.
00:32:10.080 If I
00:32:10.580 told you
00:32:10.980 I had
00:32:11.260 firearms,
00:32:12.400 then you
00:32:12.720 should at
00:32:13.080 least check
00:32:13.700 inspect to
00:32:14.480 make sure I
00:32:15.140 don't have
00:32:16.040 firearms.
00:32:16.980 Because then
00:32:17.500 once they
00:32:17.960 valet parked
00:32:19.020 the car,
00:32:20.100 I went
00:32:20.480 inside.
00:32:21.320 If I had
00:32:22.160 been carrying
00:32:22.660 concealed,
00:32:23.300 all I had
00:32:23.580 to do is
00:32:25.160 lie.
00:32:25.500 I said,
00:32:25.800 no, I
00:32:26.280 don't have
00:32:26.560 anything.
00:32:27.940 And I
00:32:28.160 could have,
00:32:28.740 there was
00:32:29.320 no other
00:32:29.860 screening from
00:32:30.800 that point
00:32:31.260 on at
00:32:32.480 that event.
00:32:33.000 I could
00:32:33.240 have walked
00:32:33.580 in there
00:32:33.840 with a
00:32:34.140 firearm.
00:32:35.520 And so
00:32:36.400 it concerns
00:32:37.540 me that the
00:32:38.240 Secret
00:32:38.520 Service is
00:32:39.160 that sloppy.
00:32:40.080 It was
00:32:40.240 sloppy back
00:32:40.980 then.
00:32:42.160 That was
00:32:42.420 not good
00:32:43.500 security.
00:32:45.440 And there's
00:32:46.560 security is
00:32:47.720 like firearms.
00:32:48.860 It's black
00:32:49.380 and white.
00:32:49.920 There's no
00:32:50.760 gray area.
00:32:53.280 I tell people
00:32:54.680 there's no
00:32:55.060 such thing as
00:32:55.660 a transgender
00:32:56.320 firearm or
00:32:57.480 transgender
00:32:58.080 cartridge.
00:33:00.480 It's either
00:33:01.320 active or
00:33:02.780 it's not
00:33:03.440 active.
00:33:04.200 You can
00:33:04.520 either fire
00:33:05.180 it or you
00:33:05.680 can't fire
00:33:06.280 it.
00:33:06.460 And with
00:33:06.960 security,
00:33:07.680 you've
00:33:08.060 either got
00:33:08.460 it secure
00:33:09.060 or you
00:33:09.440 don't have
00:33:09.900 it secure.
00:33:11.560 And security
00:33:12.420 means you
00:33:13.920 check everybody.
00:33:14.920 You don't
00:33:15.100 say, oh,
00:33:15.880 so you're a
00:33:16.360 friend of
00:33:16.660 Donald.
00:33:17.140 Oh, we'll
00:33:17.500 let you
00:33:17.800 through.
00:33:18.220 Come on
00:33:18.520 through.
00:33:18.840 Because you're
00:33:19.300 a friend of
00:33:19.720 Donald.
00:33:20.180 No.
00:33:21.520 If the
00:33:22.460 standard is
00:33:23.080 we want to
00:33:23.440 make sure
00:33:23.760 nobody's
00:33:24.240 carrying a
00:33:24.700 firearm through
00:33:25.340 that checkpoint,
00:33:26.600 everybody gets
00:33:27.300 checked.
00:33:27.640 All right.
00:33:30.600 I'm really
00:33:31.260 sorry that we
00:33:31.980 have to leave
00:33:32.760 it there because
00:33:33.460 I have so
00:33:33.880 many other
00:33:34.320 things I'd
00:33:34.840 like to ask
00:33:35.440 you.
00:33:35.640 I want to
00:33:35.860 thank Larry
00:33:36.360 Johnson,
00:33:36.900 former CIA
00:33:37.560 officer and
00:33:38.340 intelligence
00:33:38.760 analyst and
00:33:39.620 former
00:33:40.660 planner and
00:33:42.060 advisor at
00:33:42.720 the U.S.
00:33:43.100 State
00:33:43.240 Department's
00:33:43.840 Office of
00:33:44.400 Counterterrorism
00:33:45.300 for joining
00:33:45.780 us today.
00:33:46.800 This has been
00:33:47.140 one of the
00:33:47.500 best interviews
00:33:48.200 we've ever
00:33:48.780 had.
00:33:49.160 Larry, thank
00:33:49.620 you for
00:33:50.100 being available.
00:33:51.020 I saw you
00:33:51.580 on with
00:33:52.460 Steven Gardner.
00:33:53.780 You were
00:33:54.020 terrific.
00:33:54.560 It was a
00:33:54.860 good interview.
00:33:56.020 And I'm glad
00:33:56.620 we were able to
00:33:57.200 connect.
00:33:57.720 God bless you,
00:33:58.280 my friend, and
00:33:58.900 thank you for
00:33:59.600 being in the
00:34:00.080 Stone Zone.
00:34:01.480 Thank you,
00:34:01.940 Roger.
00:34:02.260 Appreciate it.
00:34:04.520 Folks, you
00:34:05.740 may have read
00:34:06.900 that Mrs.
00:34:07.920 Stone and I
00:34:08.900 own the IRS
00:34:10.060 over $2
00:34:11.200 million in
00:34:12.400 back taxes.
00:34:14.380 Actually, that's
00:34:15.280 not true.
00:34:15.960 We owe them
00:34:16.460 about $420,000
00:34:18.800 in back taxes,
00:34:20.020 but the rest
00:34:20.960 of the $2
00:34:21.440 million are
00:34:22.400 interest and
00:34:23.420 penalties, which
00:34:24.820 the IRS
00:34:25.580 refuses to
00:34:27.140 waive.
00:34:28.080 Normally, in
00:34:29.080 an offer and
00:34:30.620 compromise
00:34:31.280 situation, you
00:34:33.040 can negotiate
00:34:33.660 those numbers
00:34:34.900 down.
00:34:36.000 The hardest
00:34:36.500 thing is to
00:34:37.260 reach an
00:34:37.860 agreement if
00:34:39.260 you don't have
00:34:40.100 that money,
00:34:40.720 which we
00:34:41.240 certainly don't.
00:34:42.600 The hardest
00:34:43.040 thing is to
00:34:43.900 reach an
00:34:44.780 agreement with
00:34:45.600 the IRS that
00:34:47.140 allows you to
00:34:48.000 pay over time
00:34:49.480 based on your
00:34:50.740 income and after
00:34:51.940 you have to
00:34:52.500 submit substantial
00:34:54.140 financial
00:34:55.080 documentation.
00:34:57.100 If you're in
00:34:58.020 this situation
00:34:58.860 where you
00:34:59.920 owe thousands
00:35:01.320 or even
00:35:03.160 hundreds of
00:35:04.180 thousands or
00:35:04.840 tens of
00:35:05.480 thousands of
00:35:06.080 dollars, no
00:35:06.880 matter what
00:35:07.660 you owe to
00:35:08.460 the IRS,
00:35:10.040 remember that
00:35:10.860 they are not
00:35:12.240 your friends.
00:35:13.960 Don't waive
00:35:14.900 your rights and
00:35:15.960 speak with them
00:35:16.920 on your own.
00:35:17.720 I strongly
00:35:18.820 urge you to
00:35:20.460 contact people
00:35:21.740 at the
00:35:22.140 Tax Network
00:35:23.440 USA.

00:35:31.540 back taxes and
00:35:33.300 their clients
00:35:34.240 are diverse.
00:35:35.260 It doesn't
00:35:35.640 matter whether
00:35:36.200 you owe
00:35:36.520 10,000 or
00:35:37.480 10 million.
00:35:39.300 These folks
00:35:40.080 are professionals
00:35:40.980 who can help
00:35:42.300 you, whether
00:35:43.420 it's business
00:35:44.140 or personal
00:35:45.220 taxes, even
00:35:46.160 if you have
00:35:46.700 the means to
00:35:47.480 pay right
00:35:48.280 now or
00:35:49.140 you don't
00:35:49.960 have the
00:35:50.380 means to
00:35:50.800 pay and
00:35:51.600 have to
00:35:52.040 pay over
00:35:52.760 time, they
00:35:53.960 can really
00:35:54.520 help you
00:35:55.100 resolve your
00:35:56.060 tax burden
00:35:56.840 once and
00:35:58.000 for all.
00:35:59.100 Cannot
00:35:59.560 recommend this

00:36:24.780 immediately.
00:36:26.820 All right.
00:36:27.880 That is
00:36:28.780 our commercial
00:36:31.220 break for
00:36:31.840 the day.
00:36:33.120 Is John
00:36:33.940 Tobacco
00:36:34.400 online?
00:36:35.700 Our next
00:36:36.220 guest has
00:36:36.840 incredible
00:36:37.860 support.
00:36:38.860 All right.
00:36:40.460 Let me
00:36:41.280 then, I
00:36:42.560 will hold
00:36:43.300 forth on
00:36:43.880 the political
00:36:44.580 situation, and
00:36:46.720 hopefully we
00:36:47.380 can get
00:36:48.260 him online.
00:36:50.580 We are
00:36:51.720 in the
00:36:53.680 throes
00:36:54.160 yesterday of
00:36:55.120 a report
00:36:55.800 by the New
00:36:56.460 York Post
00:36:57.080 that Barack
00:36:58.780 Obama and
00:37:00.260 his wife, of
00:37:00.940 course, Michelle
00:37:01.460 Obama, have
00:37:02.760 withheld their
00:37:04.620 endorsement from
00:37:07.200 Kamala Harris.
00:37:08.380 now, Kamala
00:37:09.680 Harris is in
00:37:10.820 the middle of
00:37:11.520 a media, I
00:37:15.480 would call
00:37:15.900 honeymoon, where
00:37:17.220 we're focused on
00:37:18.120 the fact that
00:37:18.700 she's the first
00:37:19.500 woman candidate
00:37:21.000 to be nominated,
00:37:22.260 she's the first
00:37:24.200 black woman
00:37:25.460 candidate to
00:37:26.720 be nominated.
00:37:27.820 She would be
00:37:28.140 the second, if
00:37:29.320 she is nominated,
00:37:30.280 she would be the
00:37:30.800 second woman
00:37:32.240 nominated for
00:37:33.200 the presidency,
00:37:34.180 both by the
00:37:35.700 Democrat Party.
00:37:37.840 It is
00:37:38.640 interesting
00:37:39.820 that the way
00:37:41.640 their process
00:37:42.600 works, that
00:37:43.940 there's no
00:37:44.900 input here
00:37:45.940 by the
00:37:46.720 voters.
00:37:48.080 Black Lives
00:37:48.720 Matter, of
00:37:49.760 all people, or
00:37:50.700 I should say of
00:37:51.360 all organizations,
00:37:52.260 recognized yesterday
00:37:53.620 that there was
00:37:55.960 no voter
00:37:57.140 involvement here,
00:37:58.120 no democratic
00:37:59.100 process, and
00:38:00.440 they called for
00:38:01.100 a national
00:38:01.980 primary in
00:38:02.880 which any
00:38:03.820 Democrat can
00:38:05.240 vote.
00:38:05.840 That would
00:38:06.320 presumably be
00:38:07.220 done online
00:38:08.500 and virally.
00:38:10.520 I don't think
00:38:11.420 that is likely.
00:38:12.540 In fact, in
00:38:13.280 reaction to
00:38:14.100 that, it
00:38:14.980 appears like
00:38:15.840 the Democrat
00:38:16.780 National Committee
00:38:17.940 is trying to
00:38:19.340 expedite their
00:38:20.420 selection process
00:38:21.880 so they
00:38:22.580 can actually
00:38:23.260 lock Kamala
00:38:24.920 Harris in
00:38:25.880 as the
00:38:27.060 Democrat
00:38:27.480 candidate
00:38:28.100 prior to
00:38:29.340 their August
00:38:30.120 19th
00:38:31.580 convention.
00:38:32.820 Why this
00:38:33.800 rush to do
00:38:35.000 so?
00:38:35.840 Well, a
00:38:36.500 couple reasons.
00:38:37.800 Obama, as
00:38:39.580 the New York
00:38:39.940 Post pointed
00:38:40.580 out yesterday,
00:38:41.740 who is without
00:38:42.480 any question
00:38:43.220 the most
00:38:44.300 influential
00:38:45.320 Democrat in
00:38:47.800 the country,
00:38:48.280 certainly one
00:38:49.820 of the most
00:38:50.140 influential people
00:38:51.000 in the
00:38:51.460 country, was
00:38:52.960 first of all
00:38:53.480 principally
00:38:54.080 responsible for
00:38:56.100 the move to
00:38:57.540 muscle Joe out
00:38:59.380 of the
00:38:59.880 presidential race
00:39:00.940 Chicago-style.
00:39:02.840 It was Barack
00:39:03.980 Obama who cut
00:39:05.360 off the campaign
00:39:06.460 money.
00:39:07.380 It is Barack
00:39:08.260 Obama who I
00:39:09.460 believe convinced
00:39:10.300 actor George
00:39:11.460 Clooney to write
00:39:13.020 the op-ed piece
00:39:14.200 for the New York
00:39:14.980 Times, telling
00:39:16.220 Joe that he
00:39:17.060 needed to
00:39:17.760 drop.
00:39:18.580 It is Barack
00:39:19.480 Obama who
00:39:20.300 convinced Nancy
00:39:21.720 Pelosi to
00:39:23.700 contact Biden
00:39:25.640 and tell him
00:39:26.260 to throw in
00:39:27.440 the towel.
00:39:28.540 It was Barack
00:39:29.820 Obama who
00:39:30.660 lined up Chuck
00:39:32.240 Schumer, the
00:39:33.220 Senate majority
00:39:34.620 leader, for
00:39:35.980 the same
00:39:36.600 purpose.
00:39:37.700 So Joe
00:39:38.620 is very,
00:39:40.360 very angry.
00:39:42.180 Joe actually,
00:39:43.280 according to a
00:39:44.080 source of mine,
00:39:44.840 that I trust,
00:39:46.320 the same source
00:39:47.040 who told me
00:39:47.600 last Friday
00:39:48.340 that Joe would
00:39:49.560 resign from the
00:39:50.780 race, drop
00:39:51.360 from the race
00:39:51.960 on Sunday
00:39:53.080 by letter,
00:39:54.540 told me that
00:39:55.620 Biden's response
00:39:57.260 was that,
00:39:59.340 and there's a
00:40:00.060 quote,
00:40:00.920 well now I
00:40:01.520 won't go down
00:40:02.320 in history like
00:40:03.220 FDR, LBJ,
00:40:05.760 or even Bill
00:40:06.700 Clinton as one
00:40:08.360 of our greatest
00:40:09.000 presidents.
00:40:10.200 I'll give you
00:40:10.820 some idea of
00:40:12.340 the current
00:40:13.820 mindset of
00:40:15.580 Joe Biden.
00:40:16.760 Last night's
00:40:17.620 presentation from
00:40:19.860 the Oval
00:40:20.500 Office was
00:40:22.100 odd from a
00:40:22.840 number of
00:40:23.300 points of
00:40:23.760 view.
00:40:24.040 First of all,
00:40:24.880 it was
00:40:25.080 inappropriate.
00:40:25.580 That was a
00:40:26.500 strictly political
00:40:28.180 address to the
00:40:29.320 nation.
00:40:30.020 It should have
00:40:30.340 been paid for
00:40:30.980 by Joe Biden's
00:40:32.540 campaign committee
00:40:33.720 rather than the
00:40:34.920 American taxpayers.
00:40:36.520 There's $280
00:40:38.160 million there that
00:40:39.580 could have been
00:40:39.960 used to pay for
00:40:40.680 that broadcast.
00:40:42.120 Secondly, I'm
00:40:43.280 not sure what
00:40:43.800 Biden was doing
00:40:44.540 with his hands.
00:40:45.360 It was very,
00:40:46.960 very odd.
00:40:48.940 Thirdly, he just
00:40:49.860 continues to lie.
00:40:51.240 I mean, this guy
00:40:52.040 lying is second
00:40:53.080 nature.
00:40:54.100 The irony here of
00:40:55.140 attacking Donald
00:40:55.900 Trump of lying,
00:40:57.240 when Joe Biden
00:40:58.000 said that border
00:40:58.880 crossings under his
00:41:00.000 administration today
00:41:01.740 were lower than
00:41:03.540 at any point in
00:41:05.160 the Trump
00:41:05.740 administration,
00:41:06.580 that's just a
00:41:07.360 flat-out lie.
00:41:10.240 He clearly is
00:41:11.660 trying to reassert
00:41:12.580 himself as a
00:41:14.180 player.
00:41:15.120 He's very angry
00:41:16.340 at Barack Obama,
00:41:17.660 who he believes
00:41:18.740 pushed him out
00:41:20.260 of the race.
00:41:22.680 The New York
00:41:23.640 Post highlighted
00:41:24.460 the fact that
00:41:25.040 Obama doesn't
00:41:25.840 intend to
00:41:26.440 endorse anyone
00:41:27.360 prior to their
00:41:28.620 selection process,
00:41:30.080 which leaves him
00:41:31.000 free to maneuver
00:41:32.500 behind the scenes
00:41:34.580 in an attempt
00:41:36.240 to find
00:41:37.300 another nominee.
00:41:39.260 When or why
00:41:40.300 would that happen?
00:41:41.400 Well,
00:41:43.020 polling that
00:41:43.860 anyone looks at
00:41:44.860 at this juncture
00:41:45.960 would be somewhat
00:41:47.340 questionable because
00:41:48.500 you have these
00:41:49.800 cataclysmic events
00:41:51.060 all happening
00:41:51.800 in rapid succession.
00:41:53.980 First, there is
00:41:54.820 the attempted
00:41:55.680 assassination of
00:41:56.720 Donald Trump.
00:41:57.920 Every day, we
00:41:58.720 seem to learn
00:41:59.260 some new fact
00:42:00.280 or at least
00:42:00.840 allegation about
00:42:02.560 that, which is
00:42:03.540 shocking and
00:42:04.520 keeps it in the
00:42:05.260 news.
00:42:06.200 Then you had a
00:42:06.900 highly successful
00:42:07.960 and unified
00:42:09.180 Republican national
00:42:10.560 detention.
00:42:12.180 Then after that,
00:42:14.520 you had, of
00:42:15.960 course, the
00:42:17.520 dropping out of
00:42:19.660 the race by
00:42:20.660 Joe Biden.
00:42:22.380 Somewhere in the
00:42:23.000 middle there, you
00:42:23.680 had this national
00:42:24.960 internet, or I
00:42:27.420 should say,
00:42:28.440 cyber outage
00:42:29.540 by CrowdStrike.
00:42:31.860 that took up
00:42:33.240 an entire news
00:42:34.440 cycle.
00:42:35.640 So I guess the
00:42:36.340 point I'm trying
00:42:36.920 to make here is
00:42:37.720 that it's very
00:42:38.860 hard to poll
00:42:40.420 the electorate
00:42:41.400 in the eye of
00:42:42.620 the storm.
00:42:43.520 One has to wait
00:42:44.480 until things
00:42:45.960 settle down,
00:42:46.980 until voters
00:42:48.100 have the
00:42:48.600 opportunity to
00:42:49.980 process all of
00:42:51.560 this information.
00:42:53.020 The earliest
00:42:54.240 polls that I've
00:42:55.300 seen, in which I
00:42:56.200 have some
00:42:56.680 confidence,
00:42:58.060 show that
00:42:59.000 Donald Trump is
00:43:00.020 still in a
00:43:00.620 close race.
00:43:01.700 That is not
00:43:02.340 surprising.
00:43:03.140 The country
00:43:03.600 continues to be
00:43:05.100 badly, but
00:43:06.740 almost evenly
00:43:07.740 divided.
00:43:09.080 But I believe
00:43:10.560 that when things
00:43:11.880 do settle down,
00:43:13.780 we're going to
00:43:14.440 see Kamala
00:43:15.360 Harris in about
00:43:16.480 the position
00:43:17.200 Joe Biden is.
00:43:18.240 In other words,
00:43:19.420 she will be
00:43:20.240 trailing Donald
00:43:21.280 Trump, as she
00:43:21.940 is today, in the
00:43:23.180 early polls, in
00:43:24.420 every swing state,
00:43:26.120 also trailing him
00:43:27.280 in the states
00:43:28.300 that now appear
00:43:29.960 to be within
00:43:31.260 Trump's grasp.
00:43:32.620 I speak of
00:43:33.600 Virginia, New
00:43:35.560 Mexico, New
00:43:36.820 Jersey, and
00:43:37.700 Maine, all
00:43:38.880 states Trump
00:43:39.920 lost in 2020,
00:43:41.740 all states that
00:43:42.520 he could
00:43:42.880 conceivably win
00:43:44.180 in this
00:43:45.180 election.
00:43:46.740 So if we
00:43:47.700 get to
00:43:48.360 August 1st,
00:43:50.020 and Kamala
00:43:50.800 Harris is
00:43:51.640 trailing, and
00:43:53.180 also if her
00:43:54.100 performance on
00:43:55.280 the stump is
00:43:56.840 not smooth, and
00:43:58.360 she doesn't
00:43:58.900 impress, well, I
00:44:00.340 think it's
00:44:01.300 important to
00:44:01.860 note that
00:44:02.520 there's nothing
00:44:03.740 legally or
00:44:05.300 within party
00:44:06.000 rules that
00:44:07.400 binds the
00:44:08.480 delegates of
00:44:09.260 the convention
00:44:09.820 to Kamala
00:44:10.840 Harris, which
00:44:12.000 means they
00:44:12.440 could have a
00:44:13.340 different nominee.
00:44:14.880 They're
00:44:15.440 supposedly going
00:44:16.160 to an open
00:44:17.020 convention.
00:44:17.840 That would
00:44:18.180 presumably mean
00:44:19.500 that another
00:44:20.660 name could be
00:44:21.640 put in
00:44:22.500 nomination.
00:44:24.000 Therefore, I'm
00:44:24.640 going to
00:44:25.160 continue to
00:44:27.160 stick to my
00:44:28.140 prediction that
00:44:28.840 the ultimate
00:44:29.620 nominee here
00:44:30.600 will be
00:44:32.020 Michelle Obama.
00:44:33.080 I still
00:44:33.360 believe that
00:44:33.780 that is a
00:44:34.420 real possibility.
00:44:36.000 If it looks
00:44:36.860 like Kamala
00:44:37.500 Harris is
00:44:38.060 going to
00:44:38.580 lose, well,
00:44:39.900 they'll pull
00:44:40.340 the plug on
00:44:41.120 her the same
00:44:42.260 way they pulled
00:44:43.020 the plug on
00:44:44.000 Joe Biden.
00:44:45.520 So I'm not
00:44:46.740 changing that
00:44:47.780 prediction.
00:44:49.020 But then
00:44:49.500 there's my
00:44:50.160 other prediction.
00:44:51.180 So I
00:44:51.700 predicted,
00:44:52.580 going back
00:44:53.360 to 2018,
00:44:55.120 in an
00:44:55.820 interview with
00:44:57.100 New American
00:44:57.820 Magazine,
00:44:59.080 that Joe
00:44:59.360 Biden would
00:45:00.160 not be a
00:45:00.820 candidate for
00:45:01.680 re-election.
00:45:02.960 Pardon me,
00:45:03.540 let me rephrase.
00:45:04.960 I predicted
00:45:05.840 in 2018,
00:45:08.200 in an
00:45:09.140 interview with
00:45:09.820 New American
00:45:10.520 Magazine,
00:45:11.560 that there
00:45:11.860 would be an
00:45:12.400 assassination
00:45:12.880 attempt on
00:45:14.060 Donald Trump.
00:45:15.280 And now there
00:45:15.980 has been.
00:45:16.800 I predicted
00:45:17.680 at Turning
00:45:18.360 Point USA
00:45:19.340 over a year
00:45:20.780 ago that Joe
00:45:21.880 Biden would
00:45:22.780 not be the
00:45:23.780 nominee of
00:45:24.760 the party.
00:45:25.720 So I'm
00:45:26.100 now two
00:45:26.680 for two.
00:45:27.800 I predicted
00:45:28.660 that Michelle
00:45:29.480 Obama would
00:45:30.280 be the
00:45:30.680 nominee.
00:45:31.560 I may or
00:45:32.420 may not yet
00:45:33.240 be right
00:45:33.880 about that.
00:45:35.020 But then
00:45:35.400 on July 6th,
00:45:36.760 I predicted
00:45:37.420 that Kamala
00:45:38.780 Harris would
00:45:40.480 become,
00:45:41.780 would choose
00:45:42.680 Pennsylvania
00:45:43.660 Governor
00:45:44.480 Josh Shapiro
00:45:46.400 as her
00:45:47.960 running mate.
00:45:48.440 I want
00:45:49.420 to reiterate
00:45:50.120 that prediction
00:45:53.020 because I
00:45:53.760 believe that
00:45:55.180 it is still
00:45:57.180 accurate.
00:45:59.800 I'm very
00:46:00.760 anxious to
00:46:01.340 see how
00:46:02.020 this all
00:46:03.040 works out.
00:46:05.460 I really
00:46:06.460 do fear
00:46:07.380 another
00:46:08.240 assassination
00:46:08.880 attempt on
00:46:09.820 President Donald
00:46:10.700 Trump, as I
00:46:11.520 said earlier
00:46:12.500 in the show.
00:46:13.300 Now, I'm
00:46:14.840 very concerned
00:46:16.160 that too
00:46:17.740 much trust
00:46:18.340 is being
00:46:18.700 put in
00:46:19.280 the Secret
00:46:19.700 Service.
00:46:20.360 Now, I
00:46:21.600 was told
00:46:22.180 back in
00:46:22.840 June of
00:46:23.500 last year,
00:46:24.960 actually during
00:46:26.420 Charlie Kirk's
00:46:27.580 great Turning
00:46:28.160 Point USA
00:46:28.860 conference in
00:46:29.700 Palm Beach,
00:46:31.060 that the
00:46:31.960 Trump requests
00:46:33.180 for additional
00:46:34.080 personnel and
00:46:35.640 manpower and
00:46:36.640 resources for
00:46:37.960 his protection
00:46:38.700 had been
00:46:39.360 routinely denied
00:46:40.760 by the
00:46:43.000 Department of
00:46:43.900 Homeland Security
00:46:44.980 and Secretary
00:46:46.720 Mayorkas.
00:46:48.320 The Secret
00:46:48.780 Service specifically
00:46:49.760 denied that
00:46:50.700 that same day
00:46:51.560 I said it
00:46:52.380 publicly,
00:46:53.440 reported it
00:46:54.140 here on the
00:46:54.660 Stone Zone,
00:46:55.680 only to
00:46:56.760 backtrack
00:46:57.440 and admit
00:46:58.920 days later
00:46:59.820 that, in
00:47:00.500 fact, they
00:47:02.080 had denied
00:47:02.940 all of those
00:47:03.860 requests for
00:47:05.200 additional
00:47:06.260 funding and
00:47:08.680 personnel to
00:47:09.480 perfect Trump.
00:47:10.760 I don't
00:47:11.640 believe anything
00:47:12.620 said by the
00:47:14.060 Secret Service.
00:47:15.460 I'm still very
00:47:16.180 curious about
00:47:17.560 the role of
00:47:18.740 a man named
00:47:19.420 Maxwell
00:47:20.220 Yerick, if
00:47:21.500 any.
00:47:22.420 Now, as I
00:47:23.540 said on
00:47:24.440 X, a
00:47:25.880 source within
00:47:27.940 Pennsylvania law
00:47:28.960 enforcement,
00:47:29.620 someone just
00:47:30.960 based on their
00:47:31.660 position and
00:47:32.400 record, I
00:47:33.060 trust, told
00:47:34.540 me that a
00:47:35.960 man named
00:47:36.520 Maxwell
00:47:37.260 Yerick, who
00:47:38.520 has a prior
00:47:39.480 record of
00:47:40.380 assault on
00:47:41.900 Trump supporters,
00:47:42.920 I think on
00:47:43.320 two occasions,
00:47:44.680 who actually
00:47:45.320 fought in
00:47:46.080 Ukraine as
00:47:46.840 a mercenary,
00:47:48.220 who was or
00:47:49.680 is a member
00:47:51.020 of Antifa,
00:47:53.160 was actually
00:47:54.740 the shooter
00:47:55.520 rather than
00:47:56.420 Mr.
00:47:56.860 Crooks.
00:47:57.600 I'm not saying
00:47:58.600 Crooks is or
00:47:59.420 is not the
00:48:00.140 shooter.
00:48:00.900 I'm not saying
00:48:01.660 the Yerick is or
00:48:02.860 is not the
00:48:03.720 shooter.
00:48:04.080 What I'm saying
00:48:04.620 is that I have
00:48:05.940 these reports.
00:48:08.060 The Warren
00:48:08.900 Commission
00:48:09.340 insisted that
00:48:10.740 Lee Harvey
00:48:11.220 Oswald shot
00:48:12.580 John F.
00:48:13.380 Kennedy.
00:48:14.920 That was not
00:48:16.440 accurate.
00:48:17.620 So is
00:48:18.640 Crooks really
00:48:19.800 the man who
00:48:20.640 shot at
00:48:21.120 Trump?
00:48:21.820 We don't
00:48:22.680 know.
00:48:23.400 All right,
00:48:23.880 John Tobacco,
00:48:25.100 who I think
00:48:25.900 is, without
00:48:26.440 any question,
00:48:27.900 the smartest
00:48:28.520 guy on
00:48:29.400 Wall Street,
00:48:30.240 does a
00:48:30.660 great show
00:48:31.440 at Newsmax,
00:48:33.040 the Wise
00:48:33.540 Guys, but a
00:48:35.200 guy who
00:48:35.640 is not
00:48:36.060 only a
00:48:37.180 great
00:48:37.420 entrepreneur,
00:48:38.200 a great
00:48:38.380 businessman,
00:48:39.100 a great
00:48:39.440 trader, a
00:48:40.520 great analyst
00:48:41.600 of what's
00:48:41.980 going on
00:48:42.340 in Wall
00:48:42.660 Street, but
00:48:43.560 also someone
00:48:44.480 who's been
00:48:44.960 in the
00:48:45.340 forefront of
00:48:46.160 protecting New
00:48:46.860 York communities
00:48:47.700 from this
00:48:48.680 influx of
00:48:49.840 illegal
00:48:50.380 migrants,
00:48:52.060 who's been
00:48:52.460 one of the
00:48:53.720 most articulate
00:48:54.400 critics of
00:48:55.240 Mayor Eric
00:48:56.280 Adams and
00:48:57.020 his bungling
00:48:58.220 of this
00:48:58.880 issue, a
00:49:00.180 proud son of
00:49:01.380 Staten Island,
00:49:02.280 New York.
00:49:03.260 John Tobacco
00:49:04.460 joins us
00:49:05.180 now.
00:49:06.780 Roger, thanks
00:49:07.480 for having
00:49:07.860 me.
00:49:09.460 Wow, John,
00:49:10.120 that's a
00:49:10.440 great-looking
00:49:10.860 jacket you
00:49:11.400 got there.
00:49:12.920 Well, I
00:49:14.140 heard you a
00:49:14.740 couple of
00:49:15.160 weeks ago on
00:49:15.980 your radio
00:49:16.600 show in
00:49:17.200 New York
00:49:17.620 on 77
00:49:18.300 WABC,
00:49:20.000 refer to
00:49:20.560 someone as
00:49:21.060 a boulevardier,
00:49:22.900 and then when
00:49:24.060 I went and
00:49:24.520 looked it up,
00:49:25.060 I said, oh
00:49:25.660 boy, I
00:49:26.120 got to
00:49:26.400 acquire a
00:49:27.100 new title.
00:49:27.860 So I
00:49:28.480 thought you'd
00:49:29.020 like the
00:49:29.560 oatmeal and
00:49:30.800 black check
00:49:31.540 with the
00:49:31.980 subtle,
00:49:32.440 solid tie.
00:49:33.460 The best
00:49:35.040 part of it,
00:49:35.580 John, is
00:49:35.940 the peak
00:49:36.420 capels on
00:49:37.240 a single
00:49:37.980 suit.
00:49:38.520 That is
00:49:39.360 very, very
00:49:40.360 good.
00:49:40.860 Anyway, we're
00:49:42.240 close horses,
00:49:43.020 folks, just
00:49:43.540 excuse us.
00:49:45.180 You have
00:49:46.140 some shocking
00:49:47.100 findings from
00:49:49.100 Wall Street,
00:49:49.940 from the
00:49:51.180 stock market,
00:49:52.480 in the
00:49:53.080 immediate
00:49:53.500 aftermath of
00:49:55.180 Donald Trump's
00:49:56.340 attempted
00:49:57.120 assassination.
00:49:58.380 Tell us what
00:49:59.260 you learned and
00:50:00.060 why this is
00:50:00.860 so shocking.
00:50:02.980 Well, Roger,
00:50:03.980 I'm sure you've
00:50:04.680 heard through
00:50:05.320 all the
00:50:05.680 memes,
00:50:06.340 stock crowd,
00:50:07.340 and everything
00:50:07.700 going on
00:50:08.280 social media
00:50:09.180 that there's
00:50:10.340 this technique
00:50:12.240 used on
00:50:12.980 Wall Street
00:50:13.360 called short
00:50:14.200 selling.
00:50:15.380 And many
00:50:16.040 people didn't
00:50:16.660 know about it
00:50:17.420 until recently.
00:50:18.300 It's like the
00:50:19.120 best hidden
00:50:19.620 secret.
00:50:20.780 But there's
00:50:21.580 actually a way
00:50:22.320 that you can
00:50:22.900 profit by
00:50:24.280 betting that
00:50:25.560 stocks go
00:50:26.320 down.
00:50:27.540 And many
00:50:28.180 retail investors
00:50:29.080 against this.
00:50:30.120 It's certainly
00:50:30.600 been alleged
00:50:31.300 that it's
00:50:31.680 been used
00:50:32.240 to hurt
00:50:32.800 stocks
00:50:33.320 intentionally
00:50:33.980 and manipulatively.
00:50:35.740 Just short
00:50:36.560 selling happens
00:50:37.220 to be my
00:50:37.860 expertise.
00:50:39.480 And I
00:50:40.760 follow every
00:50:41.740 single metric.
00:50:42.720 I want to
00:50:43.080 thank you for
00:50:43.680 that introduction.
00:50:44.940 It's humbling.
00:50:45.960 But for the
00:50:46.440 last 30 years,
00:50:47.500 I've been
00:50:47.980 following the
00:50:48.680 behavior and
00:50:49.340 patterns and
00:50:49.960 analytics of
00:50:50.720 short sellers.
00:50:52.560 And as I
00:50:53.580 started to look
00:50:54.540 and take my
00:50:55.580 political mind
00:50:56.700 and my
00:50:57.020 timeline,
00:50:57.680 I said,
00:50:58.580 wait a minute.
00:50:59.600 Why are
00:51:00.080 people still
00:51:00.940 shorting Trump
00:51:01.900 stock after
00:51:03.880 the debate?
00:51:04.880 The debate
00:51:05.680 was a no-brainer.
00:51:06.980 No one on
00:51:07.680 earth would bet
00:51:08.540 against Trump's
00:51:09.420 company after
00:51:10.560 what happened
00:51:11.280 in that debate.
00:51:12.500 But I saw
00:51:13.080 this covert
00:51:15.820 systematic
00:51:16.680 effort to
00:51:18.740 accumulate a
00:51:19.700 short position
00:51:20.460 in Donald
00:51:20.900 Trump's stock.
00:51:21.600 I couldn't
00:51:21.960 figure out
00:51:22.500 why.
00:51:22.880 I reported
00:51:23.980 it to some
00:51:24.620 folks independently
00:51:26.420 around the
00:51:28.140 legal team
00:51:29.840 and the
00:51:30.120 public markets
00:51:30.920 for DJT.
00:51:32.440 And this
00:51:32.720 chart you're
00:51:33.320 showing,
00:51:34.400 you see the
00:51:35.480 bottom line
00:51:36.120 there,
00:51:36.560 that's how
00:51:38.060 many people
00:51:38.720 were short
00:51:39.460 for the
00:51:40.040 last 40
00:51:40.760 days in
00:51:41.500 Donald Trump's
00:51:42.260 stock.
00:51:43.100 And then the
00:51:43.540 day after the
00:51:44.460 debate, you see
00:51:45.280 that little red
00:51:46.040 pop up, that's
00:51:47.400 extra on top
00:51:48.520 one day after.
00:51:49.860 And then every
00:51:50.760 single day after
00:51:52.260 that, depending
00:51:53.120 on the volume
00:51:53.800 and the market
00:51:54.280 conditions, but
00:51:55.460 there was an
00:51:56.040 increase to
00:51:56.820 that position.
00:51:57.980 And I'm
00:51:58.220 thinking, what
00:51:59.060 wild man is
00:52:00.620 betting that
00:52:01.480 they want a
00:52:01.960 short Trump
00:52:02.660 stock?
00:52:03.180 He's on his
00:52:03.700 way up right
00:52:04.540 now.
00:52:04.840 It can't be.
00:52:06.660 And then I
00:52:07.440 went back, I
00:52:08.300 followed it
00:52:08.900 back.
00:52:09.260 It started the
00:52:09.900 day after the
00:52:10.620 debate.
00:52:11.560 You heard
00:52:12.020 former CIA
00:52:14.640 director Kim
00:52:15.440 Cheadle say
00:52:16.140 the other day
00:52:17.000 that they need
00:52:18.440 about five to
00:52:19.340 seven days.
00:52:20.300 The campaign
00:52:20.840 has to inform
00:52:21.760 the Secret
00:52:22.540 Service like
00:52:23.280 five to seven
00:52:24.020 days before
00:52:25.160 they announced
00:52:26.220 a date.
00:52:28.040 Trump announced
00:52:29.240 this Pennsylvania
00:52:30.300 rally on the
00:52:31.200 third.
00:52:32.100 I went back
00:52:32.820 seven days from
00:52:34.160 that.
00:52:34.680 And sure
00:52:35.040 enough, it's
00:52:36.580 right on the
00:52:37.540 28th, the day
00:52:38.500 after the debate.
00:52:39.540 So my
00:52:40.680 contention is
00:52:41.580 that there was
00:52:42.200 a systematic
00:52:42.860 single actor or
00:52:44.420 entity that
00:52:46.780 has shorted
00:52:47.740 Trump's stock
00:52:48.700 significantly in
00:52:50.660 the day from
00:52:51.760 the day after
00:52:52.580 the debate
00:52:53.220 until July
00:52:55.240 12th.
00:52:56.040 And then it
00:52:57.520 just whacks of
00:52:59.220 someone knowing
00:53:00.760 something because
00:53:02.180 I follow short
00:53:03.360 selling in many
00:53:04.340 stocks every
00:53:05.620 single day for
00:53:06.480 the last 30
00:53:07.200 years.
00:53:07.880 There are no
00:53:08.420 real fundamental
00:53:09.340 reasons to be
00:53:11.000 short to the
00:53:11.920 tune of 10
00:53:12.680 million shares in
00:53:14.380 Donald Trump's
00:53:15.120 stock following
00:53:16.260 that debate.
00:53:17.240 So, Roger, I
00:53:18.200 think someone
00:53:18.800 knew, I
00:53:20.880 can tell you
00:53:21.700 back around
00:53:22.940 the banking
00:53:24.660 crisis.
00:53:25.980 I got called
00:53:26.640 in, luckily, as
00:53:27.540 a subject matter
00:53:28.380 expert on this
00:53:29.300 stuff because
00:53:29.880 there were
00:53:30.760 entities that
00:53:32.260 were shorting
00:53:32.920 U.S.
00:53:33.400 financials, banks
00:53:34.400 and financial
00:53:35.000 institutions.
00:53:37.200 And I was,
00:53:38.220 you know, worked
00:53:38.920 with the Senate
00:53:39.520 Judiciary Committee,
00:53:40.640 Senate Banking
00:53:41.360 Committee, FBI.
00:53:43.420 And as it
00:53:44.340 turned out,
00:53:45.460 some of our
00:53:46.700 worst enemies
00:53:47.540 were using
00:53:49.320 foreign sovereign
00:53:51.620 wealth funds
00:53:52.500 like countries
00:53:53.440 like Oman
00:53:54.220 and Qatar
00:53:54.940 to be their
00:53:56.280 beard and go
00:53:57.280 in and short
00:53:58.380 the hell out
00:53:58.920 of our banks.
00:53:59.600 So I wouldn't
00:54:00.040 be surprised
00:54:00.780 with the word
00:54:01.900 of this Iranian
00:54:02.680 threat, the way
00:54:04.360 I see this
00:54:05.300 systemic position
00:54:06.700 being built
00:54:07.420 over a week
00:54:08.140 and a half
00:54:08.640 leading up to
00:54:09.460 it.
00:54:09.880 I wouldn't be
00:54:10.340 surprised if
00:54:11.180 there is some
00:54:12.020 degree of a
00:54:13.740 state actor
00:54:14.600 in this process.
00:54:15.560 John, is
00:54:17.320 there a way
00:54:18.120 to determine
00:54:19.320 exactly who
00:54:21.100 it is that
00:54:21.700 was shorting
00:54:22.320 the stock?
00:54:24.680 Well, look,
00:54:26.440 FINRA and
00:54:27.120 the SEC
00:54:27.740 have access
00:54:29.000 to that data
00:54:29.980 down to
00:54:30.520 every granular
00:54:32.200 thing there
00:54:34.580 is.
00:54:35.840 The information
00:54:36.780 is available.
00:54:38.060 I've made
00:54:38.640 my information
00:54:39.740 available to
00:54:40.920 folks that I
00:54:41.580 think should
00:54:42.200 know about it.
00:54:43.100 and I
00:54:44.300 certainly
00:54:44.720 think, you
00:54:45.400 know, in
00:54:46.500 the see
00:54:46.900 something, say
00:54:47.600 something world,
00:54:49.320 a lot of
00:54:50.460 people were
00:54:50.880 saying something.
00:54:51.680 There's a guy
00:54:52.180 on the roof,
00:54:52.760 there's a guy
00:54:53.180 with a sight,
00:54:53.840 there's a guy
00:54:54.180 with a rifle,
00:54:55.440 but the
00:54:56.280 authorities
00:54:56.700 didn't do
00:54:57.300 anything.
00:54:58.140 I'm saying
00:54:58.720 something.
00:54:59.940 I'm telling
00:55:00.760 you that this
00:55:01.680 is an anomaly.
00:55:03.180 It's an acute
00:55:03.680 anomaly to what
00:55:04.860 I've seen
00:55:05.380 historically.
00:55:06.060 and to
00:55:08.340 me, I
00:55:08.880 think the
00:55:09.240 intelligence
00:55:09.680 committee should
00:55:10.440 be looking
00:55:10.820 at it.
00:55:11.360 I think the
00:55:11.700 oversight
00:55:13.160 committee who's
00:55:14.440 launching an
00:55:14.960 investigation into
00:55:15.900 the Secret
00:55:16.260 Service, we
00:55:17.260 should know
00:55:17.740 when they were
00:55:18.380 informed from
00:55:19.100 Trump that
00:55:20.520 they wanted to
00:55:21.640 have a campaign
00:55:22.320 there, who
00:55:23.640 were the people
00:55:24.540 that went
00:55:25.240 out, who
00:55:26.040 specifically
00:55:26.820 named names,
00:55:28.280 set the
00:55:28.720 interior,
00:55:29.300 midterm, and
00:55:31.420 long-range
00:55:32.080 perimeters to
00:55:32.880 that building,
00:55:33.560 and then
00:55:35.260 potentially
00:55:36.160 someone who
00:55:38.380 could have
00:55:38.940 set the
00:55:40.000 stage and
00:55:41.780 the perimeter
00:55:42.420 could have
00:55:43.720 certainly left
00:55:44.520 an opening.
00:55:45.500 Roger, I
00:55:46.120 tried to get
00:55:46.720 into the
00:55:47.380 Bronx rally
00:55:48.380 and I tried
00:55:50.260 to garner
00:55:50.880 one extra
00:55:51.720 media pass
00:55:52.560 for a
00:55:52.900 cameraman a
00:55:53.720 couple days
00:55:54.180 before and
00:55:55.400 I, as a
00:55:56.500 Newsmax reporter
00:55:57.420 and a pretty
00:55:58.300 good New York
00:55:59.020 street guy, I
00:55:59.780 could work my
00:56:00.300 way into
00:56:00.960 places, could
00:56:02.440 not get in.
00:56:03.140 It was
00:56:03.420 locked down
00:56:04.080 tighter than
00:56:05.100 the turtle's
00:56:05.760 pecker, as
00:56:06.500 Jackie Gleason
00:56:07.280 said in
00:56:07.840 Smokey and
00:56:08.340 the Bandit.
00:56:09.920 But I
00:56:11.400 don't understand
00:56:12.280 how a young
00:56:12.880 man could be
00:56:13.400 spotted 45
00:56:14.180 minutes before
00:56:15.340 dressed weird,
00:56:17.480 with garb,
00:56:18.300 with sights,
00:56:19.220 priming on
00:56:19.680 a roof, and
00:56:21.000 it just, in
00:56:23.380 Staten Island
00:56:23.880 speak, I
00:56:25.340 smell a rat on
00:56:26.180 this one from
00:56:26.740 a mile away.
00:56:28.120 It really
00:56:28.940 doesn't add
00:56:30.180 up at all.
00:56:31.480 Now you have
00:56:32.040 the FBI
00:56:32.660 director, according
00:56:33.540 to the UK
00:56:34.100 Daily Mail,
00:56:34.860 claiming that
00:56:35.440 he's not
00:56:36.240 really sure
00:56:36.720 Trump got
00:56:37.220 hit by a
00:56:37.720 bullet.
00:56:38.720 Please, this
00:56:39.860 is insulting
00:56:41.040 the American
00:56:42.000 people.
00:56:42.980 All right, I'm
00:56:43.320 afraid we are
00:56:44.100 out of time.
00:56:45.580 John Tobacco,
00:56:46.460 tell folks where
00:56:47.120 they can see
00:56:47.660 your great show.
00:56:49.440 Well, I'll come
00:56:50.160 on every Saturday
00:56:51.040 at 10 o'clock,
00:56:51.920 but every time
00:56:52.400 Trump has a
00:56:53.060 rally, then he
00:56:54.120 goes rambling on
00:56:55.200 and on, and I
00:56:55.900 get preempted.
00:56:56.960 But Saturdays at
00:56:58.280 10, Sundays at
00:56:59.440 1130 and all
00:57:00.860 across the
00:57:01.360 network, weighing
00:57:02.060 in on financial
00:57:03.160 and cryptocurrency
00:57:04.020 stuff.
00:57:04.940 So, Roger,
00:57:05.960 thank you.
00:57:06.400 Please get the
00:57:06.900 word out there.
00:57:07.520 I'm telling you,
00:57:08.040 not only did
00:57:08.680 they try to
00:57:09.060 kill him,
00:57:10.340 somehow they
00:57:11.380 tried to profit
00:57:12.220 off it also,
00:57:13.500 which is
00:57:13.920 sickening.
00:57:15.320 All right,
00:57:16.120 we have to
00:57:16.480 leave it there.
00:57:17.060 John Tobacco,

00:58:49.960 Roger Stone.
00:58:51.020 Where's Roger Stone?
00:58:52.140 What?
00:58:52.840 That was
00:58:56.940 my mom.
00:59:01.200 A dog
00:59:01.480 that was
00:59:02.420 my mom
00:59:03.280 and I
00:59:04.320 talking to
00:59:04.900 kind of
00:59:05.660 everybody
00:59:05.920 and everybody
00:59:06.300 who lived
00:59:06.840 in the
00:59:07.920 home.
00:59:08.280 Yeah,
00:59:08.960 so
00:59:09.640 that was
00:59:10.340 an
00:59:11.000 man
00:59:12.320 that was
00:59:13.200 a
00:59:13.760 old
00:59:14.800 storm
00:59:14.840 and
00:59:17.560 they
00:59:17.940 did
00:59:18.360 you

00:59:19.060 last
00:59:19.260 maybe
