00:00:00.000 Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:06.420 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents. He is a New York
00:00:11.040 Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump. As an
00:00:16.340 outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless
00:00:21.000 venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:26.480 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop
00:00:31.360 culture icon. And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:39.940 Welcome. I'm Roger Stone, and yes, indeed, you are back in the Stone Zone. On the morning of January
00:00:47.620 25th, 2019, at six o'clock in the morning, 29 heavily armed SWAT-clad FBI agents swarmed my home.
00:01:00.240 They were completely clad, as I say, in SWAT gear, including night goggles and brandishing M4 fully
00:01:07.920 automatic assault weapons. They surrounded and swarmed my home to arrest me for the non-existent crime of
00:01:16.300 lying to Congress under oath about matters that were irrelevant and immaterial. Maybe this is why I
00:01:23.800 feel strongly that the FBI needs to be reformed, because that FBI raid was authorized in Washington,
00:01:32.800 but carried out by the Miami office. It's interesting because, of course, I had no passport. I had no
00:01:41.820 previous criminal record. I had no firearm in the home. I most certainly was not a flight risk, which is
00:01:49.180 how they rationalized the manner of my arrest. To this day, my wife and I both suffer, to a certain
00:01:57.200 extent, she more than me, with PTSD. Now, normally, in a case like this, in a non-violent, white-collar
00:02:05.460 process crime, and with me having no prior criminal record, they would merely call your lawyer and tell
00:02:13.240 him that you needed to turn yourself in. But had they done that, CNN wouldn't have been able to be
00:02:19.080 25 feet from the front door of my home and put on the media circus that I presume was meant to
00:02:26.680 intimidate me, because they would later try to pressure me into testifying falsely against my friend of
00:02:33.740 45 years, Donald Trump, and to intimidate others that they were investigating. So I feel strongly that
00:02:42.040 President Trump's pick for FBI director is absolutely crucial. That's also why I believe Cash Patel, the
00:02:49.960 former acting director of the U.S. Department of Defense, former federal prosecutor specializing in
00:02:58.700 intelligence crimes, and former chief counsel to the House Intelligence Committee under Chairman Devin
00:03:06.420 Nunes, is precisely the man for the job. Anyway, I want to start out with that thought. Here to join me in
00:03:14.640 breaking down the political news and also to talk to our very special guest today, entrepreneur,
00:03:21.500 businessman, and Trump supporter, Grant Cardone, is my co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief of
00:03:29.000 Slingshot.News. Roger, it's always an honor to be back with you in the Stone Zone. Great. Let's get right
00:03:35.760 to our guest, because I've been reading some pretty exciting news about him. Grant Cardone owns and
00:03:42.620 operates over seven privately held companies and a private equity real estate firm, Cardone Capital,
00:03:49.280 with a multifamily estate portfolio of assets totaling over $1.4 billion. He's one of the top
00:03:58.400 crowd funders in the world, raising over $1.4 billion in equity via social media. He's been featured on
00:04:06.240 seasons two of Discovery Channel's Undercover Billionaire and other high-profile television
00:04:12.220 shows. But more importantly, he's an outspoken supporter of the president. He is an outspoken
00:04:17.900 advocate for a number of things we're going to ask him about in terms of how young people starting in
00:04:25.460 business should proceed. Someone I admire very much and consider a friend, Grant Cardone. Welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:04:32.620 Guys, thank you so much for having me, Roger. Always a pleasure to be with you and see you rocking a
00:04:37.960 beautiful shirt, tie, and suspenders. It's my look. What can I say, brother? You got a great
00:04:45.160 thing going. You got your own thing going. I do indeed. We're very, very pleased to have you. I know
00:04:52.360 you're very busy. So thank you for giving us your time, particularly on short notice. This has been
00:04:58.100 an exhilarating week, although I have neither any informal or formal role in the president's
00:05:04.420 transition. I do have a lot of good men and women I think should serve. So yes, I've been running back
00:05:11.200 and forth to Palm Beach to try to make sure that they get full consideration of their credentials.
00:05:18.200 Let's start with the news. I read online that you may be contemplating a race for governor of
00:05:24.200 California. Now, I think you'd be a great governor of California. I also think you have residences here
00:05:31.540 in Florida. I also think you'd be a great governor of Florida. In fact, I think you'd be a great
00:05:36.600 governor no matter where you chose to run. Are you putting us on or is this something you're really
00:05:42.600 serious about? Roger, I lived in, thank you for that, by the way, and also support your idea about
00:05:49.800 Kash Patel for FBI. I think he'd be phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. I lived in California for
00:05:56.520 25 years. We still maintain a home there in Malibu. And what I've seen happen in the state of
00:06:02.220 California over the last 13 or 14 years is just disastrous. I left there, when I left there,
00:06:09.660 we had family there, two kids that were born there, a family, all my friends were there,
00:06:14.800 our businesses were there, our employees were there. And they went from, I think it was a 10%
00:06:21.100 to, no, it was a, yeah, 10% to a 13.3% tax rate. Not only did they increase the taxes 32%,
00:06:30.700 that's a 32% increase, okay? Only on those people that earn money, by the way, because most of the
00:06:35.780 state doesn't pay anything. They're just getting free resources, beautiful weather. Half the state
00:06:41.720 pays nothing to actually live there because they contribute nothing, okay? Now, I have a solution
00:06:46.460 to all those things, by the way. I think California is probably one of the great resources of the United
00:06:52.200 States, and we need to fix that state because it's so valuable to this country. But when they raised
00:06:58.460 taxes, I wrote Arnold. Arnold was the governor then. And I said, if you do this, I'm going to sell my
00:07:03.600 home, sell my real estate, get rid of my businesses. I'm going to move to a state that's friendly to
00:07:07.620 business that has less regulations and lower taxes. I'm going to take those taxes that I don't
00:07:12.420 pay, and I'm going to reinvest it in my business and grow it. They didn't lower taxes. They raised
00:07:17.480 them. Now they raised them again, by the way, this Newsom guy. Not only does he raise taxes, and this
00:07:21.860 is what the wealthy and the successful, the savers and the investors are complaining about. It's not that
00:07:27.420 we pay taxes. It's that you guys waste our money. Like, if you did the right things with my money,
00:07:33.520 I wouldn't care. But the fact is, you don't do the right things. They're funding transgender BS.
00:07:39.800 They want to fund programs. I think when I left there, Roger, their budget, their income was
00:07:46.380 $60 billion. Now it's $230 billion. And they're getting worse. So what I would do there, Roger,
00:07:55.580 is I would reduce the taxes to at least the Arizona level, 4%. You would have tremendous amounts of
00:08:03.320 money go back into California. You would have U-Hauls lining up to go back to California to buy
00:08:08.200 their properties, to hire people, to bring jobs back there. I would take that 8% or 9% tax revenue,
00:08:16.060 let's say half of the tax revenue, $130 billion a year, give it back to the people, and let me decide
00:08:22.180 how I want to spend it. Provide me with incentives for buying homes, providing housing. Don't let the
00:08:28.280 government provide the housing. Let the owners of the property provide the housing. Private dollars
00:08:33.520 will always do it better with private money than the public will. And the third thing is I would
00:08:38.720 give incentives to people that provide jobs there and let them decide what they want to pay people.
00:08:44.740 It is really hard to understand how a state that has virtually a perfect climate 75% of the year,
00:08:52.320 extraordinary natural resources, a state that beautiful, and with that kind of potential could
00:09:01.620 be driven into the gutter by the high tax and soft on crime policies of the Democrats. I must say,
00:09:09.480 you know, I met Arnold back in the 80s, back when he called himself a Reagan Republican. He was a
00:09:15.280 favorite of Nancy Reagan's. And he was elected in a recall when Gray Davis was replaced. But then
00:09:23.820 he governed worse than Gray Davis. I mean, it's very hard to believe. I understand the value of
00:09:30.760 celebrity and politics. He had this great land, a great line in his campaign where he said, I want
00:09:35.560 every Californian to have a fantastic job. Well, it sounds good. But he really just furthered the
00:09:42.100 decline of the state. He was no better than the governor before it. Now, if you look at the
00:09:47.460 results of this most recent presidential election, there's clearly even people in California are
00:09:54.320 waking up. Kamala Harris did not carry her home state by the kind of margin you would normally have
00:09:59.660 expected. And Republican turnout hit all time high levels. Now, unfortunately, they're still counting
00:10:07.000 votes almost two weeks after the election in a few of these House races. But I haven't written off
00:10:14.920 California. I think it's uphill for any Republican. But remember, they have this odd system in which
00:10:22.360 there are no longer party primaries, where every candidate, regardless of party, runs in one what
00:10:29.220 they call jungle primary. And the two top vote getters, even if someone gets 50 percent, the two
00:10:35.760 top vote getters then face off. So party, which I think is becoming less important anyway, with great
00:10:44.200 folks like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Rod Blagojevich moving towards the Republican Party, party is less
00:10:53.380 important. What's more important than party are ideas, plans. So I think you'd be a great candidate
00:11:00.480 because clearly you've thought this through. It's also, I think, the second most expensive state in the
00:11:07.920 nation to wage, you know, a sophisticated, data-driven, media-centric campaign. But I suspect you wouldn't have
00:11:17.860 the trouble raising the money. Let me just say this. The California people are like, pissed off so much right now.
00:11:29.180 They are so happy about the Trump win. I have not had, I've been very vocal now, as you have been for, I don't
00:11:37.640 know, 13 or 14 years when I moved to Florida. When I left California, we didn't even know where we were going. We just
00:11:43.380 knew we were leaving and we were going to find a better place. We ended up in Florida, but we considered
00:11:48.820 Tennessee, we considered Utah, we considered Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and ended up in Miami. And when we got
00:11:56.580 there, the governor of Miami at that time, Rick Scott, called me and said, welcome to Florida. Anything I can do
00:12:03.240 for you, help me. We want to help you. And I was like, wow, that's different. I'd been in California 25 years. So the
00:12:08.760 people in California have been neglected. They have not been listened to. This is happening. There's a
00:12:14.880 wave in this country, okay? And this MAGA thing is real. Make America great again. Make America wealthy
00:12:20.880 again. Make America healthy again. This thing is resonating deep into the bones of people, into the
00:12:26.920 cellular American patriot of people. And people want their property rights back. They want fairness back.
00:12:33.160 They want control back. And they do not want a government that is overfunded and never held
00:12:40.560 accountable. And I think that California is also going to wake up to this as well, because I cannot
00:12:44.700 tell you, all the way up the food chain, the celebrity food chain, directors, producers, actors, my wife's
00:12:49.840 an actress, so she knows all those people. They were coming out after the Trump victory. I had posted that I
00:12:57.540 was going to provide my plane. It has 17 seats on. I said, I'm going to provide all these celebrities
00:13:02.840 that need to leave. I'll provide them with a free transportation out of here. And one producer from
00:13:08.340 Hollywood said, I can fill your plane up tomorrow. So people have been exiting California for some time
00:13:16.160 now, not because they want to, but because it's financially best for them to do that. And this would
00:13:21.060 be a way to bring those people back, bring the revenue back, bring the creativity back. Look, even Elon Musk has
00:13:26.420 left. This is crazy. Yeah, I myself posted on Twitter a reminder to Robert De Niro that he had
00:13:35.660 pledged that if Donald Trump was elected, he would leave the country. And I just want to let him know
00:13:39.960 if he needed a lift to the airport, I was available. I think he got more follows or more likes than
00:13:45.960 anything I've ever boasted. You saw the Trump rally, as I recall. That had to be an incredible
00:13:53.240 experience. Tell us about that. Well, I did the Coachella thing in LA. I was in LA and actually my
00:13:59.620 daughter was contacted. She's 15. And somebody from the Trump administration said, would your dad like
00:14:06.340 to speak at Coachella? I went there and I did that. There was 40,000 people in a very, very conservative
00:14:12.320 part of California, extremely conservative, Christian based. These are farmers, ranchers,
00:14:18.860 hard workers, laborers. There was 40,000 people there at 110 degrees or something. It was terribly
00:14:26.280 hot. And to see, I'd never been to a rally. Roger, I'm sure you've been to a bunch of them. You've been
00:14:32.880 very political your whole life. I've not been. And just the swell and the enthusiasm and the
00:14:40.620 patriotism and the excitement. I've been in front of massive audiences in my career, business people.
00:14:47.340 This was completely different. This is something truly different has happened. This will live
00:14:52.400 longer than just Trump's four years. And I believe that this thing can't be put to sleep.
00:15:00.680 So when I was done with that speech, I left and they asked me to speak at MSG, Madison Square Garden.
00:15:07.620 So three weeks later, I did that as well. And again, another great experience.
00:15:11.060 Very diverse group of people, Roger, as you know, male, female, black, white, brown, people from all
00:15:17.380 walks of life, young, old, people that are all had one thing in common, excited about making America
00:15:23.560 all it can be.
00:15:26.220 I was in Madison Square Garden. It was one of the most incredible experiences in my 45 years in
00:15:31.760 politics. Of course, the Democrats kept saying, what was like a Nazi rally?
00:15:35.940 Well, first of all, a couple of things. Bill Clinton was nominated for president in Madison
00:15:41.460 Square Garden. And Jimmy Carter was nominated for president in Madison Square Garden.
00:15:46.480 President John F. Kennedy had his famous birthday party in which Marilyn Monroe,
00:15:51.100 in the virtually see-through dress, breathily sang, happy birthday, Mr. President.
00:15:56.480 The other thing about this Nazi rally is, I saw a lot of Israel flags and people wearing yarmulkes
00:16:02.560 in the crowd. You don't see many Nazi rallies if you go back and look at the old news footage.
00:16:09.660 This is one of the most vile smears I've ever seen. The whole idea of Kamala Harris's closing
00:16:17.660 messages, Trump is Hitler and the people who are voting for him is Nazis. That's not very uplifting.
00:16:25.060 That's not very inspiring. I think it explains one of the reasons why she got walloped so bad.
00:16:30.760 She had no vision for this country. She had no plan for this country. Say anything you like about
00:16:37.420 Donald Trump. First of all, he understands that the cornerstone of a vibrant economy is low energy
00:16:42.700 prices. If you get low energy prices, then you can ultimately get the revenues necessary to fix our
00:16:50.700 schools, to have affordable housing again. An important issue that I think RFK gets credit
00:16:57.520 to really bringing to the public consciousness. I completely agree with you, Grant. The MAGA-Maha
00:17:04.680 alliance, this new political coalition, this new coalition that I think is really historic
00:17:16.740 in the sense that we've only seen this twice before in recent history. 1932, Franklin Roosevelt
00:17:24.220 forges a new governing coalition. Most African Americans voted Republican prior to 1932 because
00:17:36.340 of the role of the Republican Party in the emancipation of the slaves. But because of Herbert Hoover's
00:17:42.780 anemic response to the Great Depression, African Americans became the most reliable Democrat voters.
00:17:49.480 This new coalition in which he combines them with white Southerners, union members in the Northeast
00:17:55.400 and the Midwest, allows the Democrats to stay in power from 1932 to 1952. Then in 1968, Richard Nixon
00:18:05.380 forges a new political alignment where blue-collar Catholics in the Northeast and the Midwest join with
00:18:14.380 white Southerners and Southern, probably Western, leave us alone type libertarians to forge the coalition.
00:18:22.300 Now, he wins that election in a plurality, but that's the coalition that ultimately elects Ronald Reagan
00:18:28.060 and actually goes on to reelect Donald Trump. Now, however, it's even more diverse with Donald Trump
00:18:34.780 making really deep inroads among African Americans, particularly Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans,
00:18:43.500 and younger Americans. I give Bobby Kennedy and Tosi Gabbard a lot of credit for this. This new coalition
00:18:52.460 is permanent. It's here to stay. And yeah, I think it could elect a governor of California.
00:18:59.100 When I visited your office in Miami, one of the things that impressed me the most was that all
00:19:05.020 of the young men working for you, all the young men training there, every single one of them was
00:19:09.420 wearing a jacket and tie. Because I think that you need to be dressed appropriately for business if
00:19:15.180 you're going to do business. You have a lot of advice for young people who are just starting out
00:19:21.100 in business. You're outspoken about it. It all seems like common sense to me. We have a disproportionate
00:19:28.060 number of younger men who watch this show. Give us, I don't know, three, four things you would tell
00:19:35.020 a young gentleman who's just, or a young woman for that matter, who's just starting out in business.
00:19:41.100 Yeah, let me just back up a second. You're probably judging me for my hoodie this morning.
00:19:45.740 Yeah, but let me just say that when you gave that historical about America and how we've been
00:19:57.500 stringing these arguments together and these conversations and how people are changing,
00:20:01.820 we were building a middle class back in the 50s. That middle class now is substantially built and
00:20:09.820 starting to erode. Now what has to happen in this country, we have enough middle class people. We now
00:20:15.980 have to teach that middle class how to create wealth for itself. And it wants it, Roger. Back in 2002,
00:20:21.900 George Bush tried to roll out an education program and he was the wrong spokesman. He was not
00:20:28.220 inspirational. I like George Bush, but he was not, he was not the delivery mechanism. Also,
00:20:33.020 we did not have the distribution possible with Instagram, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon Prime. We didn't
00:20:40.620 have the way to deliver aspirational, inspirational, financial education like George Bush was trying to
00:20:47.500 roll out. And the third thing we didn't have, and probably the most important piece, is America was not
00:20:52.540 awakened yet to the possibility of wealth. Because of the, the availability of social media today and
00:21:02.940 people like myself and people that are successful, other people are successful, showing the lifestyle,
00:21:08.620 the cars, the suits, the way you dress, because we can see that now. Like you can be in my hotel room
00:21:15.100 in Madison or in New York. I'm in New York City this morning. The fact that I can be in New York City and
00:21:20.220 you can see what a room in the Ritz Hotel looks like makes everything possible to the middle class
00:21:25.660 now and to poor people, to everyone. Everyone can see the possibility. They might see a video of me
00:21:32.060 getting on my plane or me getting in my car or me driving up to my house or into my offices. And
00:21:37.740 America now gets to see, dang, if he can make it, he's from the bayous of Louisiana, raised by a single mom.
00:21:43.580 If he can do it, anyone can do it. And that becomes super aspirational,
00:21:48.940 an example of how to dress, how to act, or what possibility and potential is.
00:21:54.220 So that's why I wrote Mr. Trump or President Trump on this, well, make America wealthy again,
00:21:59.660 how to actually scale education to create wealthy Americans, not just the middle class,
00:22:05.900 but actually take that class up and create the strongest, but most vibrant, most prosperous,
00:22:12.060 wealthiest group of people on planet Earth. And that starts with how you dress, how you act,
00:22:17.980 how you work, what your work ethic is, who you surround yourself with, and what you show up and
00:22:22.940 do every day. And I think that's what you saw at our office. It's about culture. What is the culture
00:22:27.740 at the office? This is something the government can never accomplish, as you know, Roger, never.
00:22:33.020 Like, it's not even an agenda. Their agenda is not about strong work ethic, culture, motivation,
00:22:40.220 pick yourself up. And I would just tell the people of California, people of Florida, the people of
00:22:45.500 America, the government needs to tell you the truth. The government cannot save you. Okay, it's impossible.
00:22:52.380 It is up to you. You live in the greatest country in the world. We have the most wealth of any other
00:22:57.100 country. We have unbelievable resources, unbelievable possibility here. You can watch it,
00:23:03.740 go through the hands of other people, or you can go out and grab it yourself. And that starts with
00:23:07.340 commitment, and then education, and then surround yourself with the right people.
00:23:12.460 So let me ask you this question. How important is a college education? See, I'm not a college graduate.
00:23:18.780 In my sophomore year, I was studying political science. Then I was offered a job in that Nixon White House.
00:23:24.860 So I had a choice of going to actually do what I was studying, or just studying it.
00:23:31.820 And I haven't regretted the decision not to continue. And I don't feel any lesser for it when I'm
00:23:38.940 with my friends who have doctorates or are far better educated than I do. It causes young people to
00:23:46.220 take on enormous debt. Unfortunately, what they're being taught, I'm not sure is all that practical in
00:23:52.140 terms of success in life. How important is a college education for a young person today?
00:23:57.900 I mean, if you just look at the ROI and look at it as an investment, it's a terrible investment.
00:24:04.860 64% of all college kids are still in college at 48 months. 46% are still there at 60 months. That means
00:24:11.980 they've missed somewhere between 48 months and 60 months of real life experience, real work experience,
00:24:17.180 producing income and contributing to the American machine of GDP and work production.
00:24:25.500 So I would tell people, I spent five years in college. I would never, ever do that again. I
00:24:29.260 would not suggest anyone do it again. The only reason to do it, supposedly, is because you want
00:24:34.620 to be a lawyer or a doctor. Both of those will be replaced by AI and robots. And there's virtually no
00:24:41.740 reason to do it. Facebook, Google, even Elon. Elon says, I have no need for a certificate. I want a
00:24:48.220 good engineer that knows how to make things that weigh less, that cost less, and can go further.
00:24:55.260 So I would tell all young people, go to work. Don't go to college. Get around somebody. Leave the
00:25:03.340 government alone. Do not go work for the government. Work for an individual, a person,
00:25:08.540 somebody that wants to grow their business and scale their business. Don't follow your purpose
00:25:14.380 in the beginning. Go where you can learn how to work and how to show up. Show up in an environment
00:25:21.820 that makes you show up on time, that makes you put your head to the ground and actually do things. Like
00:25:28.860 you said, Roger, you went and did something rather than learn more. And when you're doing, you actually do
00:25:34.300 learn. You know, when I worked for President Nixon, Bob Haldeman, the legendary White House Chief of
00:25:41.580 Staff, whose staffing system, paper flow, everything, it's been used by every president, Republican and
00:25:48.140 Democrat since then. He used to have a saying in which he said, if you're on time, you're late.
00:25:53.740 That's right. Which I always took to heart. This is, I think, a unique opportunity. I believe
00:26:04.620 that under Donald Trump, we're going to have a golden age of peace, prosperity, security, and justice.
00:26:13.100 It's amazing to see the left in this country melting down, saying that this election was about
00:26:21.980 toxic masculinity or it was about being anti-woman. It wasn't about any of those things.
00:26:28.940 Donald Trump was not a candidate for president. He was a former president with a track record,
00:26:34.940 a track record of bringing us up until that time, the most robust economy in our history,
00:26:41.740 the lowest levels of unemployment, changing the tax laws to bring billions of dollars back into this
00:26:47.980 country to be invested here as opposed to being invested abroad. So people were able to compare
00:26:54.460 how things were then and how things are now. It's amazing. I had Barry Habib on. You know Barry,
00:27:02.300 he's a terrific guy, brilliant analyst of the housing and mortgage market, but also a brilliant economic
00:27:10.140 analyst. And every time they put out, the Labor Statistics Bureau put out the numbers, he would
00:27:19.100 tear them apart and say, here's why they're fake. This is fake. This is fake. This is fake. And he would
00:27:25.500 always say, and they will restate these in three weeks and here's what they will say. And he hit it
00:27:31.180 on the head every single time, every single time. So they kept telling us the economy is doing great.
00:27:38.940 But if you went out on the street and you talk to people, no one believed that. So I think the
00:27:43.980 president has a unique opportunity here. It's a question I have to ask you, given your experience,
00:27:50.620 given your success, given your ideas, given your zeal, if the president offered you a job in this
00:27:57.180 administration, would you consider it? Well, I would consider anything that could
00:28:02.620 make things better for Americans, because if it's better for Americans, it's better for me.
00:28:07.660 If I live in an environment that's not doing well, where everybody's sick, everybody's financially
00:28:12.140 struggling, no matter how much wealth I have for myself and my family, if I'm in a sick environment,
00:28:18.620 I'm in a sick environment. So my goal would be to do and serve and to be of service to the ecosystem
00:28:25.660 that I live in. It's really self-preservation that I would want to help out and do well. And I think
00:28:33.420 that that is an innate thing in all human beings, that they want to help their neighborhood. They
00:28:38.220 want to help their community, their family. Once you help yourself, your family, the community,
00:28:43.660 and realize that you can make a difference, you want to extend beyond just that reach that you have.
00:28:49.500 So I think America's in a great position right now. I'm in New York City. I have not met one person
00:28:54.940 that didn't support the vote for this election. Like, literally, I'm on the street this morning.
00:28:59.660 People pass me out. Grant, thanks so much, man. Oh my God. They're coming out of the closet.
00:29:03.740 It's like Anderson Cooper party or something. You know, they're just coming out of the closet right
00:29:08.860 now saying, oh, I'm for Trump. The whole world's for Trump. I was in front of 1,100 people two days
00:29:13.740 ago, Roger. And I said, how many Trumpsters in a room? They're literally their arms came out of their
00:29:18.860 shoulders. I said, oh, you all you guys are supporting now that we won. But that's a good
00:29:24.540 thing right now. Now we're going to hear this, this swell of maggots is going to actually expand,
00:29:29.260 not contract. And the more that Democrats miss this messaging. I mean, she was horrible.
00:29:37.740 No marketing, no sales, no communication skills, no, no presentation skills. People,
00:29:43.660 people said she was intelligent. You got to deliver intelligent. You got to communicate intelligent.
00:29:50.060 She, she, she was not aspirational. There was nothing there. They ran a bad candidate and maybe
00:29:55.820 that's all they have. I know on our side right now, we got a deep bench, but more importantly,
00:30:02.300 we have the American people that want a better economy first. I think we want to quit spending
00:30:08.940 money in other countries on wars. And we want to make this country truly what it can be for,
00:30:15.820 regardless of what your preferences are or your religion or the color of your, your skin.
00:30:21.900 There's a lot of Americans out there that just want America to be as great as it can be.
00:30:27.660 Well, I know you're not seeking a job, but I actually hope the president will consider
00:30:32.220 appointing you. You would be really, really great. It's funny what you say is absolutely true.
00:30:38.220 But normally over the last couple of years, if I went to the grocery store or the drug store,
00:30:43.580 you know, I'd wear sunglasses and a hat and just, I don't want to be yelled at. I don't
00:30:47.740 want to get into fights with people. Liberals are particularly intolerant. They talk about tolerance,
00:30:52.700 but they're the ones who are intolerant. But the day after the election, my wife asked me to go by
00:30:57.660 the grocery store, pick up a few things. And I was wearing this giant Trump for peace t-shirt that
00:31:02.700 my friend, Anthony Constantino, who's built the largest online printing company,
00:31:09.820 done extremely well for himself. You know, this guy, he's the guy who put the giant
00:31:13.980 vote for Trump sign on his factory in upstate New York, Amsterdam, New York, and the Democrat
00:31:19.180 mayor threatened to throw him in jail. Now that Elise Stefanik is going to the UN,
00:31:24.700 that's the district Anthony lives in. He actually went to high school with Elise. He's a good friend of
00:31:29.660 first. He's announced that he's going to seek that seat. And here's the best part.
00:31:34.620 He invested heavily in Tesla when others were bailing out. The lower Tesla stock went,
00:31:40.060 the more he bought. Now he just transferred $2.8 million into his own campaign committee
00:31:46.060 to run for Congress because he says, I don't want to take money from anyone. I don't want to be
00:31:50.300 beholden to any special interest or any lobbyist. My only interest would be the American people and the
00:31:55.420 people of upstate New York that I represent. He's a dynamic young man. He gave me this t-shirt.
00:32:02.300 And it was like day and night, the number of people came up to me, disproportionately African
00:32:08.540 American, by the way. And I'm not talking about two or three people. I mean, 25, 30 people. Folks came
00:32:14.700 up and say, I voted for Trump. Thank God we've been saved. The most people who, if you looked at
00:32:19.580 them, you wouldn't have thought they were Trump voters. It's very, very deceiving. You can't judge
00:32:25.340 a book by its cover. It was really an edifying experience. All right. I appreciate you very much
00:32:31.420 for your time today. If you run for governor, I'm with you 100%. I'll do anything I could possibly do
00:32:38.460 to help. You also have an open invitation here on the Stone Zone. Anytime you have something you think
00:32:44.140 is important to say, please reach out for us. We'd be honored to have you. My friend, Grant Cardone,
00:32:49.980 entrepreneur, Trump supporter, patriot, and a man who is showing the way to a lot of young people who
00:32:56.780 want to get into business. You're not going to find it in the textbook, folks. Follow Grant Cardone. He
00:33:01.980 knows what he's doing. Thanks, Roger. God bless you. All right, Troy Smith, it's time to go through the
00:33:09.500 politics of the day. I think we started with the most important topic, and that is the selection
00:33:16.140 of an FBI director. As someone whose home has been raided by the FBI, something I have in common with
00:33:25.180 President Trump, I can't think of any agency that needs reform more. I saw this story yesterday. The
00:33:32.860 headline was that veteran FBI officials believe that Kash Patel would do massive damage to the agency,
00:33:44.140 to the bureau, if he were to be selected. How much lower can these people's reputation go?
00:33:51.340 These are people, this agency would target parents who attended school board meetings because they were
00:33:59.500 concerned about the curriculum being taught to their children in the public schools, and they were
00:34:05.980 they were essentially certifying them as domestic terrorists. If you were a Catholic and you chose to
00:34:14.780 go to a Latin mass, they called you a domestic terrorist. If you demonstrated peacefully and within the
00:34:22.700 confines of the law outside of your abortion clinic because you're pro-life, they called you a
00:34:29.420 domestic terrorist. And then very recently, I got to send this to you, Troy, amazing story in the
00:34:36.300 Washington Times by a great reporter, Carrie Pickett, that tells us that prior to Crossfire Hurricane,
00:34:45.660 the investigation into Donald Trump, that James Comey planted two women within the Trump campaign,
00:34:54.620 infiltrating a political campaign with spies. They were evidently very attractive young ladies. It's
00:35:01.260 called the Honeypot Operation, where essentially they're assigned to trade sex for information. It was
00:35:08.700 an off-the-books operation reporting directly to James Comey. How can the reputation of the FBI get any worse?
00:35:19.900 Well, Roger, it can't. And when you examine what they've been up to, you know, I want to take you back
00:35:25.420 to 2020, when President Trump invited Chinese leaders to the White House to negotiate a new trade deal, because
00:35:33.980 Trump had campaigned for four years on the fact that that China was robbing us blind in our trade policy. And the
00:35:40.540 Chinese, you know, knew that they had their back against the wall. And so what did they do, Roger? They said, okay, you know,
00:35:46.380 Mr. Trump, we understand we're going to, you know, they call him your excellencies. He talks about
00:35:51.100 many times that he has talked about. We understand you have some problems. We're going to go back to
00:35:56.620 China, we're going to talk, and then we're going to come back. And, and Roger, in the weeks following
00:36:01.420 that, that's when we had the Wuhan pandemic. That's when COVID-19 came about. And that's when we started to
00:36:08.620 see, you know, basically, the entire world shut down. And you look at what our CIA has done, Roger, you look at our
00:36:17.020 federal law enforcement, these people in the intelligence communities, their involvement in this stuff, and the
00:36:23.260 amount of people that died, in coordination with the Democrat governor sending people into nursing homes. And you
00:36:29.420 look at this activity, Roger, there has to be a complete purge of everybody involved with any of
00:36:36.060 these agencies. Because when we examine the precipice the United States was on, renegotiating a trade
00:36:43.180 policy with China, reestablishing our dominance on the world stage, just to have that ripped away. It
00:36:48.380 wasn't just China that did it. It was elements of our own intelligence communities working with people
00:36:54.380 like Dr. Anthony Fauci that shipped the Chinese, these dangerous bioweapons and COVID-19 and all
00:37:00.860 these different things. They had the bio labs in China. They were working on this stuff. And we're
00:37:06.220 four years later now, Roger. And I think there's a lot of people, especially in the mainstream media,
00:37:11.180 who worked in coordination with these people that want us to forget exactly what happened. Well,
00:37:16.380 we're not forgetting what happened. And I think, you know, when you examine the activities of James Comey,
00:37:21.740 here's a guy that deserves to be in Gitmo. When you examine the activities of Lisa Page and Peter
00:37:27.980 Strzok, two people in the FBI, criminals, they deserve to be alongside James Comey in another cell.
00:37:33.980 I mean, they have a track record, Roger, of the worst violations of the law that we've ever seen.
00:37:40.780 And they continue to get away with this. And they get away with it because we refuse really to address
00:37:46.620 the problem. And I think that's what the fear is with Kash Patel, Roger. Now,
00:37:50.540 you've known Kash Patel for a long time. What kind of reform do you think we'd see if this guy
00:37:55.820 is placed as the FBI director? I mean, that would be a transformative pick for President Trump,
00:38:01.180 really somebody who would push the agency to really act as it's supposed to,
00:38:06.380 to protect the United States, not to attack people inside of it, no?
00:38:09.420 You know, Kash Patel, who's been with us here on the Stone Zone a number of times,
00:38:14.460 first of all, he's a brilliant guy. I mean, he's a brilliant guy.
00:38:17.260 And he's got diverse experience. He's worked as a federal prosecutor. As I said, he was the acting
00:38:26.140 chief of staff for the Department of Defense. That's a massive managerial job, by the way,
00:38:32.700 chief counsel to the House Intelligence Committee. He's perfectly qualified for this job because he is
00:38:41.660 really the one who conducted the investigation by the House Intelligence Committee under Chairman
00:38:47.660 Devin Nunes. He has intimate knowledge of who in the FBI was deeply involved in this illicit,
00:38:55.980 illegal effort to spy on Donald Trump, which, as I just said, is even more extensive than we knew at
00:39:03.180 the time. I mean, planting a honeypot women on the plane infiltrating Trump's campaign,
00:39:11.740 first of all, it's very 1970s. But secondarily, this is, according to a whistleblower, this is an
00:39:18.940 off-the-books operation that they kept out of the computers reporting directly to the director of the
00:39:24.700 FBI. This is unbelievable. And then, of course, there was Christopher Wray, who actually temporarily
00:39:35.740 put out the idea that nobody really shot at Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, that he really wasn't
00:39:42.620 shot at. Well, first of all, tell that to the family of Cory Comparatori, the brave firefighter who
00:39:49.340 took one in the head, shielding his daughter and his wife from a gunman. And now tell us that no one
00:39:56.540 was shot? He retracted that very quickly, as you know. But the FBI's conduct, even in the Butler
00:40:05.580 question, is not credible. We have an FBI who's telling us that Thomas Matthew Crooks is the shooter,
00:40:14.380 that he acted alone, that a 20-year-old has no social media profile whatsoever. He left no footprints
00:40:23.980 online. He's never done a search. He's never been on any website. That's not credible. That's just not
00:40:31.100 credible. Then we have pictures of him on a cell phone. He's talking to somebody. Who could he be
00:40:38.380 talking to a Confederate? But the FBI tells us that they can't get at the information that's encrypted
00:40:48.220 in his cell phone. And they tell us that Apple will not turn over his cell phone records, which is
00:40:54.380 interesting because in my case, they handed over my Apple records to Robert Mueller and his thugs
00:41:02.460 without a subpoena. They did it voluntarily. When it came to the San Bernardino shooter, however,
00:41:08.780 who killed dozens of people, they thought it would be an invasion of his privacy if Apple turned over
00:41:15.980 his records to the FBI. I can't think of any agency that needs a top-to-bottom cleaning
00:41:21.820 more than the FBI. What we do not need is some bureaucrat who doesn't have the courage to seek
00:41:30.220 justice. Let's be clear. This isn't about revenge. It's about everybody being treated equally. In my
00:41:37.020 case, in the case of General Flynn, even in Robert Mueller's final report, he conceded it hadn't broken
00:41:42.700 any laws. So they had to invent this process crime of theoretically lying under oath to the House
00:41:52.140 Intelligence Committee. I did, by the way, definitely make misstatements, but they weren't willful.
00:41:57.420 They were either failure of memory, but most importantly, they were immaterial. That wasn't
00:42:04.060 hiding any underlying crime, such as collaboration with WikiLeaks, because there was no collaboration
00:42:11.260 with WikiLeaks. I must say my indictment is brilliantly constructed by the evil Andrew Weissman,
00:42:19.020 and that's kind of typical of his body of work, shall we say. You have an extraordinary series now,
00:42:25.740 I noticed on Slingshot, starting to expose his epic corruption. That series you're writing is so good,
00:42:34.540 it should become a documentary, by the way. But I can't think of any agency that needs reform,
00:42:40.860 top-to-bottom reform, more than the FBI. And I cannot think of anyone who is better qualified to do that
00:42:48.140 than Kash Patel. So look, I'm praying that he gets the job. I don't have any inside knowledge. I've let
00:42:55.660 the President know my views on this. I hope he will do the right thing. I think he's obviously
00:43:02.060 the man for the job. In the meantime, Troy, as you know, our country tiptoes closer and closer to World
00:43:10.940 World War III, in what looks to me like a direct response to Donald Trump's election, the fact that
00:43:19.020 the people voted overwhelmingly for peace. First, our Secretary of State Antony Blinken says, we're
00:43:26.460 going to get every dollar out the door to Ukraine that we can between now and the time we leave office.
00:43:34.940 This blows my mind in itself. We have 360,000 homeless veterans in this country.
00:43:44.620 But we're going to ship money to Ukraine so they can buy more weapons. It really boggles the mind. And
00:43:51.180 now you have this decision, and this is not the first time, but now it's formalized, in which Joe Biden
00:43:58.300 has told President Zelensky that it's okay with us if they want to use US-supplied NATO long-range
00:44:08.540 missiles to hit targets in Russia. Now, on this show, I played a video that you sent me in which
00:44:15.100 Vladimir Putin makes it pretty clear that if that happens, that he will retaliate. There's a move now,
00:44:21.900 this is my question for you, Troy, there's a move now in the House to impeach Joe Biden over this
00:44:30.220 unauthorized act of war. Tom Massey from Kentucky, who's a Libertarian Republican, despite the fact that he
00:44:38.540 supported Ron DeSantis, I think he's a very good man, he's leading this charge. Now, they were trying to impeach
00:44:45.580 Donald Trump right up to the moment he left office. So don't tell me, oh, the timing's immaterial or
00:44:51.100 inappropriate. What do you think of this effort to impeach Joe Biden?
00:44:54.860 Well, Roger, you know, it's kind of an interesting situation because what we have is a guy on his way
00:45:00.940 out the door who really is doing an unbelievable amount of damage to this country. Now, I think,
00:45:08.700 you know, they've kind of made their own bed with this problem, Roger, because they've refused to
00:45:12.860 address Biden's cognitive decline for four years. This has been a problem since before he even took
00:45:19.500 the office, where we all looked at him and said, there's no way that this guy is capable of being
00:45:23.820 president. And now the people behind Joe Biden, not Joe, I mean, Joe Biden's wandering around a
00:45:29.500 rainforest. In fact, we have clips of it. He has no idea what's going on. The press was asking questions.
00:45:34.780 We're going to show clips of that. He has no idea what's going on. The people behind Joe Biden
00:45:39.100 are now orchestrating the beginning of World War Three. And it puts Donald Trump in a terrible
00:45:44.460 position because the Ukrainians have full access to these missiles now and they have permission to
00:45:50.380 shoot them into Russian territory. So if you're Vladimir Putin, you've got missiles coming into
00:45:54.940 your country, possibly hitting civilians, killing people. And your only means of response is to attack
00:46:02.540 Ukraine further, which would be an escalation of war and kill your own people as well as more Ukrainians,
00:46:08.060 or just sit back and let them bomb you and wait for Donald Trump to take office.
00:46:12.460 So really, you know, it's kind of a catch 22, Roger, because what do you do? I think if you're
00:46:18.060 Congress, impeachment is one mode. I would say, you know, really, this should have been addressed
00:46:25.280 years ago when we knew that President Biden had problems and he should have been 25th Amendment.
00:46:31.300 They should have had that, at least argued for that since the beginning. In fact, Roger,
00:46:35.200 the first appearance I ever made on this show was actually talking with you as a guest about Biden
00:46:41.280 and the 25th Amendment. So we're in this position now. I think they need to examine how they could
00:46:46.660 possibly cut off funding. I think we need to examine how it could possibly freeze some of these
00:46:52.240 departments, some of these departments that Anthony Blinken has said are shipping over billions of dollars
00:46:57.060 to Ukraine. And Congress needs to act within its full authority to restrict the purse as much as it
00:47:03.020 possibly can in these last couple months, because we've never seen anything like this. Roger, you've
00:47:07.600 seen so many transitions. Have you ever seen an administration leaving provoke a war to this
00:47:14.540 level before? I mean, it's like unfounded territory. Well, the other thing that's interesting, of course,
00:47:20.560 is General Flynn was on with us, I guess, two days ago and had the most succinct analysis of this
00:47:29.140 because he correctly points that the Ukrainians don't want war, that they're ready to end the war.
00:47:35.720 The Russians certainly don't want this war to continue. They're both ready to end this war.
00:47:41.200 So the provocateur here is our State Department. It's our government. The fact that all this time,
00:47:52.440 since the beginning of hostilities began, we've never had any peace negotiations. We've never had any
00:47:58.160 talks. There's no effort to resolve this peacefully. Joe Biden blurted out at the very beginning that
00:48:06.120 he would have been willing to give the Russians certain parts of Ukraine, specifically the Donbass,
00:48:13.200 I believe, in order to resolve that. So his puppet master shut him up quickly. Donald Trump,
00:48:20.640 I think, is showing extraordinary leadership here. He's trying to avert World War III. He has called on
00:48:27.000 President Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to meet with him as soon as possible. He's a dealmaker. We know
00:48:35.280 that. I think this matter can be resolved. And that's why they're so hysterical. My other great fear,
00:48:42.960 I'm certainly not an economist, but my other great fear is that they're going to try to badly damage
00:48:49.440 the economy before Trump leaves, to leave him a flaming wreck, both on the world scene and also here with
00:48:58.060 our economy. Although it'd be tough for things to get much worse than they are right now. I noticed
00:49:05.440 that you sent me a couple of interesting things about Tom Homan. This is another one of the real
00:49:11.000 standout appointees. He is going to be the immigration czar. People say that the idea of
00:49:21.840 deporting illegals, and I think we may have more than 20 million in the country, according to the
00:49:27.360 people I know and respect, that that can't be done, that it's logistically impossible.
00:49:35.360 A, they don't know Tom Homan, and B, they don't know history. President Dwight Eisenhower deported
00:49:43.600 1.3 violent illegals during his presidency. So tell us about Homan's priorities here. I think we
00:49:52.940 have a video. I'm not sure about that. Yes, we do, Roger. We can roll that video. Tom Homan
00:49:57.080 laid out basically his top three priorities upon taking office. People just need to watch this,
00:50:03.120 because the direct speaking, that's what we need in government. That's what we have been lacking
00:50:08.320 for so long. These people that dance around the answers. Homan gives three straight priorities here
00:50:12.480 that he's going to be doing as soon as he gets into his position, as soon as Trump takes office.
00:50:17.220 Let's roll that, then get Roger's thoughts on this fantastic immigration plan.
00:50:21.420 A lot of people have wondered, how is this going to work? So how will it work?
00:50:25.020 Well, look, I think the president's been clear on the stage. As far as the deportation operation,
00:50:29.300 we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats, because they're the
00:50:34.360 biggest, they pose the biggest danger to the United States. He's got three rails. So we'll do
00:50:40.020 the deportation operation with the priorities I just talked to, out of the gate. That'd be the
00:50:43.860 priorities. Second thing is secure that border. Lock that border down and catch release and secure
00:50:48.080 the border. The third rail is we got over 300,000 missing children. Over half a million children
00:50:55.040 have been trafficked into the United States. This administration released them
00:50:57.860 to unbedded sponsors, and they can't find 300,000. And based on my three and a half decades,
00:51:03.040 some of these children are in forced labor. We already found some in forced labor. Some
00:51:05.860 are in forced sex trafficking. Some of them are pedophiles. We need to save these children.
00:51:09.600 That's going to be the third rail.
00:51:11.880 Just Roger, unbelievable stuff. What do you think about Homan bringing up the fact that there's
00:51:16.280 300,000 missing children, something that just gets glossed over so much?
00:51:19.660 The fact that he has pledged to make this among his highest priorities is heartening.
00:51:29.180 Your heart just has to break for the idea of 300,000 people, most of them, though many of them
00:51:36.080 are dead, unfortunately, killed in ritualistic murders or through them being used in sex trafficking.
00:51:45.900 Others are just still accurately being used and being sex trafficking even today. If there's one
00:51:52.300 man in the country who can find these children who are still with us and save them, it's Tom Homan.
00:51:59.740 This, to me, is among the president's very best appointments. He is a good man. He's a tough man.
00:52:08.540 And he knows this business. He started out as a lowly border agent himself. I've seen pictures
00:52:14.220 of him in his younger days. This is, I think, among the president's best appointments. All right,
00:52:20.860 Troy, what else do you have for us today?
00:52:23.340 Well, Roger, on a lighter note, we have Joe Biden yesterday at the G20 summit in Brazil. He's
00:52:32.140 walking around South America. He's been in the rain forest, which is just bizarre. Who knows what he's
00:52:37.900 doing? But he was really, like, wandering around, almost lost yesterday. This kind of goes along
00:52:42.540 with what we were saying earlier about the 25th Amendment, about problems about his health concerns.
00:52:46.860 And, you know, I think it's still a relevant issue. So let's roll that and get your thoughts on
00:52:52.540 Biden's G20. And is this G20? Is this where they kind of colluded to launch World War III? Because it
00:52:59.660 does seem kind of odd, doesn't it, that this thing happens? And either the day after, the day prior,
00:53:05.100 you have the U.S. authorizing these missiles, and we had news this morning that British missiles have
00:53:10.620 also been authorized to strike into Russia, and Zelensky has used them already. So let's roll this
00:53:16.380 clip of Biden at G20 and ask Roger, is this where they planned World War III?
00:53:29.740 So that goes on.
00:53:43.020 Right.
00:53:49.020 Thank you.
00:54:19.020 Thank you.
00:54:49.000 He may not even know that we gave NATO this permission.
00:54:55.080 I still question whether Joe ever knew about or saw the letter that was released on a Sunday afternoon in which he dropped out of the race.
00:55:03.820 A high-level Democrat source told me the previous Friday, he said at exactly 4.30, there will be a letter released from Biden saying that he's dropping from the race.
00:55:15.860 And I saw Biden that the very next day on Saturday somewhere online saying, I'm not dropping out of this race under any circumstances.
00:55:26.000 So I called my source and I said, are you sticking by your prediction?
00:55:29.240 He said, yeah, absolutely, 4.30 tomorrow.
00:55:33.280 The letter, he said, won't be on White House stationery.
00:55:36.100 How could he know that?
00:55:37.060 So I don't think Joe Biden is in charge.
00:55:40.300 I don't think he's been in charge for some time.
00:55:43.140 They're probably even angrier at him in view of the fact that he was all smiles when he was meeting with Donald Trump.
00:55:50.140 He sure looked like a man who voted for Donald Trump.
00:55:53.640 And as we talked about in the show, that bright red dress that Jill won on Election Day, what was that about?
00:56:00.420 By the way, I point out that the Kamala campaign asked Jill to do a number of campaign events, and she refused to do them.
00:56:07.620 So Joe Biden, who got 71 percent of the vote in the Democrat primary, who rolled up 17 million votes of Democrat primary voters,
00:56:17.020 any way you slice it, he earned his party's nomination only to be replaced by a woman who nobody voted for.
00:56:26.460 The whole thing boggles the mind, particularly when you consider that the people who preach to us constantly about democracy
00:56:35.620 were involved in an entirely undemocratic process.
00:56:40.700 We have just a few more minutes here, Troy.
00:56:44.040 But I do want to point out that at this point, Donald Trump is doing so well, and the opposition, the deep state,
00:56:56.220 their Democrat allies and their allies in the fake news media, they're apoplectic, they're hysterical, and that makes them dangerous.
00:57:04.760 So I'm calling on everybody watching us here today on The Stone Zone to please join us in praying for the safety of President Donald Trump and his family.
00:57:17.340 I said this the other day on an interview, said it again with Ed Henry at Newsmax.
00:57:23.520 My number one concern is for his safety.
00:57:26.880 There is no question that somebody, most likely with the acquiescence or the involvement of the government, tried to kill him twice before.
00:57:37.180 And I don't think that they will hesitate to try again.
00:57:40.880 So on that note, please join us in praying for the president.
00:57:45.080 On behalf of Troy Smith, my co-host at Slingshot.news, you want to check out this new series he's doing on the most corrupt prosecutor in American history, Andrew Weissman, and myself.
00:57:59.580 Until tomorrow, God bless you and Godspeed.
00:58:03.080 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going and he's smart and he's strong and people love him.
00:58:11.760 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
00:58:14.340 Roger Stone, where's Roger Stone?
