00:00:00.000The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:13.700Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:17.320He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:23.480As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:28.820and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:34.420Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:39.760And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:47.320Welcome back. You are in the Stone Zone, and I am, of course, your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:54.140The January 6th committee narrative continues to crumble under scrutiny by House Republicans.
00:01:03.060Here to help me break it down will be Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller in the Trump administration,
00:01:15.660also a former Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council.
00:01:24.780Helping me officiate today will be, first, my host, Troy Smith of Slingshot.News.
00:01:32.660Troy, welcome back into the Stone Zone.
00:01:35.660Now let us bring on one of my favorite patriots, Kash Patel, who have served this country with distinction
00:01:43.320and may know more about the subject at hand than anybody alive.
00:01:49.380Hey, Roger. Hey, Troy. It's great to be with you guys.
00:01:52.200Kash, thank you so much for joining us. I know you are very much in demand these days.
00:02:00.140The January 6th narrative put forward by the rigged committee, which consisted entirely of Trump haters,
00:02:10.780although there were some nominal Republicans, they were not the Republicans recommended by the Republican leadership.
00:02:17.740They were Republicans handpicked by Nancy Pelosi, continues to crumble as the new House Republican majority sheds light on the actions of the January 6th committee.
00:02:32.160One of the major questions at hand is whether or not President Donald Trump offered National Guard troops to D.C. Mayor Bowser and, essentially, Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
00:02:48.040It appears that Liz Cheney has worked to conceal proof that that is exactly the case.
00:02:55.900Now, when you, among others, challenged her on this, she said, Kash Patel is not a credible source.
00:03:05.840I would say, Liz Cheney is not a credible source.
00:03:10.460So, break this down for us, because you were there, and I know you've got the receipts.
00:03:15.900What actually happened in terms of the National Guard that day?
00:03:19.680Yeah, what we've just exposed, Roger, is basically the Nunes memo on January 6th.
00:03:25.720When I wrote that memo exposing the FBI corruption and that they withheld evidence of innocence against those targeted,
00:03:33.320the same thing Liz Cheney and the January 6th committee did, the same operation, and they've been caught.
00:03:38.540Look, as chief of staff at DOD during and before January 6th, we were in the Oval Office with President Trump and the SECDEP and the chief of staff for the president of the United States, along with the chairman.
00:03:47.440And he made it abundantly clear, he the president, that I am authorizing 10 plus thousand National Guards, men and women.
00:03:55.320We then dispatch senior DOD officials to Mayor Bowser's office and to the Capitol Police and Nancy Pelosi, because they are in charge of the District of Columbia.
00:04:04.160If it was Missouri, I would have dispatched them to the governor's office of Missouri.
00:04:09.560And they both, in writing, rejected the authorization and refused to make a request.
00:04:14.720Look, I have said this on your show and others for three plus years because it's the truth, but forget what I'm saying.
00:04:20.900Let's look at the black and white letters that have now been released of senior Secret Service officer Tony Ornato.
00:04:27.380A transcript from the January 6th committee that was suppressed for two plus years has now been unearthed, thanks to Molly Hemingway's great reporting that says what?
00:04:38.060Donald Trump did, in fact, authorize 10,000 plus National Guard men and women before January 6th.
00:04:43.600And Bowser and Pelosi and the Capitol Police did, in fact, reject it in writing.
00:04:47.800We've not only produced Tony Ornato's transcript from that hearing, who is an apolitical career Secret Service officer.
00:04:54.540That's why they buried it, because they couldn't label him anything.
00:04:58.440And now we also have the receipts from Mayor Bowser's office, her own letter, and the Capitol Police, in writing, pursuant to Nancy Pelosi's instructions, rejecting the National Guard.
00:05:09.500And so what they did was they tried to rig another election and try to taint Donald Trump as an insurrectionist.
00:05:28.240Do you think that House Republicans are currently doing as much as they possibly can to expose the facts regarding what actually happened on January 6th?
00:05:43.320And unfortunately, the Republican majority is probably strapped too thin, with a razor-thin majority to begin with, to do what's necessary.
00:05:51.640And what's necessary is to put out the documentation that they are finding so the American people can read it themselves.
00:06:00.880Put out all the emails from the unselect committee of January 6th.
00:06:04.320Put out all of Liz Cheney's text messages and phone calls and everyone she communicated with.
00:06:09.380So we, the American people, can digest that information and take it to everyday Americans and say, look, don't believe what I'm saying.
00:06:17.520Look at the black and white letters that they have withheld from you.
00:06:21.080And I think the subpoena power of Congress is being wholly underutilized and the enforcement mechanisms behind that aren't being used at all,
00:06:27.540i.e. taking some pockets of funding from particular agencies like the FBI and DOJ until they produce what we need.
00:06:35.100Troy, we have limited time with Cash this morning.
00:06:39.120Do you have a question for Cash Patel?
00:06:42.300So you're saying that they denied 10,000 National Guard troops, and that's really important.
00:06:48.780Is there anything else that you could highlight that would also point towards them trying to make this a political scene?
00:06:53.460Because what you're saying, you know, they really tried to make this an event where they could use it in the media to kind of craft a narrative.
00:06:59.480Were there other things that they did that you're aware of that kind of lead to that fact?
00:07:03.980Yeah, look, this was their critical narrative.
00:07:06.240Donald Trump, they wanted him labeled as an insurrectionist, not just in the courts of law, which is now failing, but in the court of public opinion so they could hijack another election.
00:07:15.620We have just gutted, with the testimony of a career officer, their critical piece of disinformation, calling Donald Trump an insurrectionist.
00:07:24.360And look, put aside all of what we've discussed.
00:07:26.440Here is the most probably crucial piece of evidence that no one is talking about when it comes to this.
00:07:33.760If Donald Trump did not authorize the National Guard 10-plus thousand days before January 6th, then how is it that we caught Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Bowser rejecting that authorization on that same day?
00:07:47.940It is factually and legally impossible for them to have written those letters and memorandums rejecting President Trump's authorization of the National Guard if he never authorized it.
00:07:58.300It does appear to me like Liz Cheney really largely coached and fabricated the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
00:08:16.300In my own case, and I'm not here to talk about me, but just in this narrow case, Hutchinson testified under oath that Mark Meadows, the White House Chief of Staff, was directed by President Trump to call me and General Michael Flynn on January 5th to find out, to use Cheney's words, what would unfold the next day.
00:08:40.800I can tell you categorically that no such phone call ever took place.
00:08:47.620I've actually never spoken to Mark Meadows.
00:08:50.340I think I met him once in a green room back when he was a congressman.
00:08:54.880I believe it was even before Donald Trump was president.
00:08:58.140But we never communicated in any mode, text, phone, email, and so on.
00:09:03.640Hutchinson went on to say that she dissuaded Meadows from attending a meeting in a war room in the Willard Hotel, but that Meadows later called Stone and Flynn for a debrief.
00:09:21.700Cash, I can tell you firsthand if there was a war room in the Willard Hotel, I was not aware of it.
00:09:27.980I never attended any meetings in any war room.
00:09:31.780Interestingly enough, the Washington Post had three sources that confirmed that.
00:09:37.860But this fiction, it's very interesting if you watch the testimony, Hutchinson uses things like, yes, that is my impression.
00:10:19.880Cassidy Hutchinson is the Christopher Steele of January 6th, and her testimony is the Steele dossier, and it is just all imploded.
00:10:30.140Facing not only, well, she should if this DOJ would follow the constitutional law, which they don't, she would be prosecuted immediately for perjury and lying to federal officials in a federal investigation, what we call a thousand and one charge.
00:10:44.720Whether she was sworn in or not as irrelevant, she perjured herself and, in my opinion, lied to federal officials.
00:10:52.140Not only that, Roger, she defamed many innocent Americans along the way.
00:10:58.540And Tony Bobulinski has sued her already for defamation.
00:11:02.400And I hope the rest of the Americans that were defamed, not just in her testimony, but in her book, which she utilized to make millions of dollars from the deep state government gangsters that were running this rigged January 6th committee, she has, I believe, defamed other Americans.
00:11:17.760And we all need to go out there and make sure that we hold not just the media to account, but the number one culprit in the conspiracy scheme of the disinformation campaign for January 6th, Cassidy Hutchinson and Liz Cheney and the rest of them responsible.
00:11:31.580And the only way to do that is to call them out, their partners in the mainstream media, and take them to court.
00:11:36.860I think there are other people and other lawsuits coming.
00:11:39.260So we'll see how much accountability we can exact.
00:11:45.360I mean, it has always been interesting to me that members of Congress like Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin and others, they hide behind their congressional immunity.
00:11:56.400In other words, they can say anything about you they want.
00:12:00.340They have certainly both attacked me saying things that are patently false.
00:12:05.340But I have no ability to bring a lawsuit against them because they hide behind their congressional immunity.
00:12:12.400I don't even think it's waivable, although you're an attorney and I'm not.
00:12:16.960It is one of the real inequities here in the system.
00:12:39.580It is interesting to me that the one consistent thing about the left is it doesn't matter how debunked or discredited or disproven any of their narratives are, just wait a few days and they'll come right back and recycle them.
00:12:59.480Your book is an antidote to all of that.
00:13:03.200For anybody who thinks that there was indeed Russian collusion, meaning collusion between Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign in 2016.
00:13:14.160Well, the Nunes memo, which was you had a hand in compiling for that great American, Devin Nunes, who was then serving as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, really laid out the truth.
00:13:30.240And the Democrats then laid out this counter narrative.
00:13:42.960It's called Government Gangsters, and it's a bestseller.
00:13:46.400Donald Trump called it the blueprint for 2024 and how we take an anvil to the deep state that is creating this two-tier system of justice and rigging presidential elections by robbing you of the truth, whether it's the executive branch or DOJ or Congress and the legislatures.
00:14:00.280And we walk you through with the receipts on the actual truth, Bowser's letters in there, the Capitol Police timeline in there, the DOD inspector general's report is in there, and so many other things, the Nunes memo, et cetera, because we want to arm the Americans with the truth.
00:14:13.040And so we appreciate the support for the book.
00:14:15.400And a really cool announcement, Roger.
00:14:19.420Government Gangsters, the movie, is coming out in the latter part of May of this year because we think it's important to get Americans to be armed with the truth.
00:14:28.280Because as you pointed out, the radical left and the mainstream media will come up with another disinformation campaign very soon.
00:14:34.120Now that we've defeated Russiagate, Hunter Biden's laptop January 6th, it's probably going to be something to the tune of, oh, Donald Trump's a dictator and he's going to hijack the government.
00:14:42.020The ironic thing is the left are the ones that have hijacked the DOJ and FBI and the intelligence community and the DOD and weaponized it against the American public to rob them of their truth.
00:14:50.660They are the ones that have come in there and utilized the mainstream media to lie to the world about things like January 6th and Russiagate and Hunter Biden's laptop and Joe Biden's classified docs investigation.
00:15:04.180And that's what we talk about in Government Gangsters.
00:15:06.600We wanted to unearth it for everybody with the receipts.
00:15:50.600And as he points out, he produces the receipts.
00:15:54.920Earlier this week, Kash, we had Steve Friend on the show.
00:15:59.840I had run into Steve at the Collier County Lincoln Reagan Day dinner, where I must tell you, he gave an extraordinarily effective speech about his own situation.
00:16:15.660Here is a man who really put his career on the line, put his family into deep financial peril because of his decision to tell the truth, to simply tell the truth, his refusal to go along and climb the ladder by ascribing to a lie.
00:16:33.120And he told me what incredible assistance you have been to him now and other FBI whistleblowers.
00:16:42.840Congressman Dan Goldman from New York, who's in a contest with Jamie Raskin to see who can be the most odious member of Congress now that Adam Schiff is leaving.
00:16:56.340He accused Friend of being a grifter, and he accused you of bribing people for testimony.
00:17:05.340I really want you to address this because it's outrageous.
00:17:09.220And look, Steve Friend is a great FBI agent, and he should be one of the ones in charge of the senior levels of the FBI.
00:17:15.900He, along with others like Garrett O'Boyle and Kyle Serafin, bravely came forward as whistleblowers with credible information about FBI corruption.
00:17:23.580Things like they were taken off cases in the Midwest about child sex predators, and those cases were re-leveled January 6th cases in Washington, D.C. somehow, so that Christopher Wray could go to Congress and lie to the world that domestic terrorism in January 6th is on the rise because that's the political narrative our law enforcement leadership wanted out there.
00:17:41.900These brave warriors exposed all of that and so much more.
00:17:45.500And after they provided credible evidence, my foundation, the Cash Foundation, amongst assisting whistleblowers financially, assists so many other individuals.
00:17:53.100So it was no surprise to me when Silver Spoon Adam Goldman came in with his Levi Ayers fortune and testified that I somehow bribed these individuals.
00:18:00.120As if no other charitable organization in America is permitted to assist whistleblowers that Chris Wray took vengeful acts of retaliation against, promised never to do so,
00:18:09.820and deprive these individuals of not only their home goods and their households, but the ability to provide for their families.
00:18:15.980There was no way the Cash Foundation was sitting on the sideline when we are a charitable organization for all.
00:18:20.980I don't even know the politics of these brave whistleblowers.
00:18:24.420We never ask because it doesn't matter.
00:18:27.260And the fact that a disgusting politician and Dan Goldman would come in with that lie, along with Sheila Jackson Lee, shows you how effective we're being.
00:18:35.000So I encourage more whistleblowers to come forward.
00:18:37.980And thank you, Dan Goldman, for the free advertising of the Cash Foundation.
00:19:42.600People ask me, they asked me last night at the Kings Point Republican Club where I spoke, when Donald Trump is sent back to the White House, when he is reelected, which I actually am growingly confident will happen.
00:19:59.200Are there enough good men and women, people like you, to staff a government, to fully staff a government with people who are committed to the president's America First agenda?
00:20:13.200In other words, in the first administration, I think we would both recognize, there were some people appointed who flew under false flags.
00:20:36.920The bench is deep, full of America First men and women to staff another Trump administration, should we be so fortunate to have him return to the Oval Office.
00:20:45.920And look, I know other people shy away from naming rhinos and Democrats and other cretins that will do America a disservice because they don't find themselves loyal to the commander in chief.
00:20:55.460They find themselves loyal to their own political bend.
00:20:58.860Well, I name all of them in government gangsters in a glossary in the back.
00:21:02.200It's not only important for us to highlight those individuals that will do the job, but it's important for us to highlight those that have failed to do the job.
00:21:09.420And those in the Biden administration have signed on to anti-government, anti-administration letters publicly.
00:21:15.160They have done so at a political risk.
00:21:18.580And we must report that to the American people.
00:21:21.440But I know, and Roger, you know this too, where you go and speak and the great Americans you meet, we just have to get those people funneled into the pipeline so that they can serve in the next Trump administration.
00:21:31.700And we can get the mission done with the greatest commander in chief we've ever had.
00:21:36.480All right, ladies and gentlemen, Kash Patel, a man I admire and respect so much.
00:21:42.680Yes, I have named one of my dogs after him.
00:21:46.460Thank you, Kash, so much for joining us today on the Stone Zone.
00:21:59.500Kash Patel is one of the most capable men I know.
00:22:03.800He's a person of extraordinary experience.
00:22:06.040It's interesting because he was the chief counsel to the House Intelligence Committee when I went there voluntarily to testify.
00:22:17.600Little did I know that Robert Mueller's prosecutors, who had really defrauded two federal judges,
00:22:26.180in order to get a warrant to look at all my emails, text messages, and phone calls,
00:22:32.740had then shared all that information with Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and the House Democrats so that they could fashion gotcha questions,
00:22:43.860which is why immediately after my testimony, which is supposed to be kept confidential and actually under House rules wasn't even supposed to be discussed,
00:22:54.720you had Schiff and Swalwell and the half-pint congressman from Texas, whose name escapes me at this moment,
00:23:03.580confidently predicting that Stone would be charged with perjury when I knew that I hadn't made any material errors.
00:23:12.780I mean, I may have forgotten some things, but any misstatement that I made before the House Intelligence Committee hid no underlying crime.
00:23:22.120There was no Russian collusion to lie about.
00:23:26.840There was also no WikiLeaks collaboration to lie about.
00:23:31.820Actual direct messages on then Twitter between me and the flack of WikiLeaks, which the media tried to make much of, are innocuous.
00:23:43.940There's no evidence that we coordinated, collaborated.
00:23:47.080In fact, they pretty much told me to buzz off, but you would think that they had found the secret plan.
00:23:56.000It is, it just demonstrates the extent to which this entire process was completely and totally manipulated.
00:24:06.600We are, we skipped our commercial break, so we will go to one shortly.
00:24:14.220But we do need your support to keep the lights on here at the Stone Zone.
00:24:22.300Troy, you are now with Slingshot.News, which is really taking off as a source of factual information.
00:24:37.920You have a groundbreaking story, really, a series of incidents involving Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
00:24:54.560Well, you know, everybody, you have to realize that as a 21-year-old kid, I was living in Maryland, and we had the worst COVID lockdowns in the entire country, barring really California.
00:25:08.540If you look at the numbers of percentage of Marylanders who died in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, it's higher than that of New York.
00:25:17.520Yet Cuomo gets all of the hate and all of the notoriety for putting people into nursing homes and getting people sick and killing people.
00:25:27.500So as a kid, I was looking at it and saying, whoa, you know, this is not a good guy.
00:25:32.220And even my own life was impacted by it because I couldn't go to school because of it, because you had to have vaccines, you had to have all this stuff.
00:25:38.480So he destroyed the life of millions of people, including mine.
00:25:43.660And so, you know, I started looking into this guy, and I came across a lot of information that I think the public needs to be aware of.
00:25:51.020Starting in 1992, Roger, Larry Hogan was running for Congress, and he had an aide, a campaign aide named Kevin Lee Hall.
00:25:59.360Now, Kevin Lee Hall was an admitted family friend, and he'd been a friend of Larry Hogan's father, who had served in the Senate, who you actually have some experience with.
00:26:07.700It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on him.
00:26:10.520But a friend of the Hogan family, Kevin Lee Hall, was charged with kidnapping and raping a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint.
00:26:21.880And we have the headline there from the Baltimore Sun, as people can see, in 1992.
00:26:26.100Larry Hogan's aide goes out, he kidnaps a kid with a gun, and forces him to have sex with him at a motel.
00:26:36.300And then Ronald Gunsberger, who was the campaign manager for Larry Hogan at the time, told the Baltimore Sun that Hall had been living in Hogan's home in Upper Marlboro.
00:26:46.180And it's just, it's such a bombshell story, Roger, because if you look at the way this has worked, there's been a power play.
00:26:54.020And I spoke to a former MD GOP official last night, Maryland GOP official, who told me there was a concerted effort within the party at the time to put the mute on Kevin Lee Hall and to make sure that nobody talked about that.
00:27:10.060Because, as we know, Hogan's family name, his family history, dictated that he was going to have a political future in Maryland, and he worked very hard to make that happen.
00:27:19.900Going forward, Roger, you know, you have Kevin Lee Hall, who kidnapped a 17-year-old at gunpoint, was living at Hogan's home.
00:27:26.180You have Luis Barunda, a former Hogan deputy state secretary, who actually was charged with distribution of child pornography.
00:27:38.180Then you have additional people, like Judge Jonathan Newell, who Hogan appointed to a Caroline County circuit judge position, a 15-year term.
00:27:49.980And he was later charged with all kinds of things, whether it would be taking pictures of children in the shower.
00:28:00.520He was charged with all kinds of things by the Maryland State Police.
00:28:05.240They even, in the Maryland State Police investigation, Roger, they were interviewing Judge Jonathan Newell, a Hogan appointee who had been accused of raping children.
00:28:16.100And while they're investigating him, he reaches under his bed, he pulls out what authorities believe is a camera card in his fist.
00:28:25.020He had taken the memory card out of the camera and swallows it.
00:28:28.800This is while they're interviewing him.
00:28:30.800They take him to a local hospital and perform a CT scan, and they find a small metallic object in his stomach.
00:28:37.120Without a doubt, this guy was a pedophile because later on, the feds broke down his door, and that was in September of 2021.
00:28:49.140The FBI issued a warrant for his arrest.
00:28:52.000They went to his home, and they found him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:28:57.520We're going to put that up on the screen now.
00:28:58.980Troy, we're going to cut to a quick commercial break, and when we come back, you're going to continue to tell us about this strange chain of pedophilia that seems to be surrounding former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.
00:29:16.660Folks, if you're just tuning in, this is The Stone Zone.
00:29:19.520I'm Roger Stone here with my colleague Troy Smith, and we'll be right back.
00:33:46.100And Judge Newell is an important piece here, too, because, as I said, this is a guy who was nominated to a 15-year term by Larry Hogan.
00:33:54.240And within their report on the investigation into Newell, the Maryland State Police alleged that Newell removed a memory card from a supposed camera and that he had swallowed it.
00:34:03.740And they also, as part of their investigation, interviewed several other children that had connections to Newell and had spent time with the judge.
00:34:10.820And the children stated that Newell would check their body for ticks and all these weird things.
00:34:16.740They found video of him in his house when they conducted a search of the home.
00:34:20.860They found video of him having sex with a 14-year-old child and groping him.
00:34:25.000It was just, it's just the most horrifying stuff you can imagine.
00:34:28.140And you have to ask yourself, Roger, why is Larry Hogan skirted all responsibility for, one, harboring a pedophile in his home,
00:34:36.400but, two, appointing a pedophile as a very powerful judge in Maryland?
00:34:40.800Now, it doesn't stop there, Roger, either.
00:34:42.400Just in 2023, Luis Berunda, another Hogan associate who served as Deputy State Secretary in the Hogan administration,
00:34:51.380was federally indicted on two counts of distribution of child pornography, sexual exploitation of a child, and possession of child pornography.
00:34:59.700Now, I believe we have a headline on that we can put up as well in relation to Luis Berunda there,
00:35:06.940former Hogan Deputy State Secretary arrested after arranging a meetup with a teenage girl in Fort Meade.
00:35:12.020Now, this is incredibly interesting, Roger, because they actually caught this guy in a sting operation running out of Fort Meade.
00:35:19.220He actually tried to meet up with a 15- or 13-year-old girl, and in the communications,
00:35:25.200he had described that he had been with 15-year-old children in the past and that he had done this many, many different times.
00:35:32.740So there's three pedophiles associated very closely with Hogan.
00:35:36.920These are people who worked with Hogan, who were appointed by Hogan, and we have a fourth.
00:35:41.760Matthew Palmer, another Hogan appointee, who served as Hogan's deputy legislative officer,
00:35:48.440was arrested in Severna Park in March of 2021 for child pornography.
00:35:54.580Again, he had at least 936 images and 368 videos of child pornography on his cell phone,
00:36:02.500and these images included prepubescent minors, child pornography involving toddlers and bondage and other sadistic acts.
00:36:12.580This guy's actually been federally charged.
00:36:14.620Now, as I stated before, Judge Newell, who was raided by the FBI, was being investigated by Maryland State Police,
00:40:00.020Somebody I know could be indicted for child pornography tomorrow.
00:40:03.320But I can guarantee you there won't be five of them.
00:40:05.500And when you come down to it, the idea that Larry Hogan is so closely associated in appointing and putting these people into places of power,
00:40:14.320pedophiles who are not just speculative pedophiles.
00:40:17.460These are charged individuals, some of whom have been killed.
00:40:20.400It's just, it's not front page news because I'll tell you what, and people say this to me all the time.
00:40:31.720I'm not scared of you and I'm not scared of your people.
00:40:34.080And I am going to ensure that the American people know exactly who you are.
00:40:38.680You know, the great irony of this, of course, is that Larry Hogan Sr. was a conservative Republican congressman from Prince George's County,
00:40:50.500was one of the leading advocates for the right to life in the Congress.
00:40:55.620As a college student at George Washington University and as a member of the College Republican Club,
00:41:01.280I actually went out to Maryland on weekends with other members of the club to canvass door-to-door working for the election of Larry Hogan Sr.
00:41:14.680Now, in the end, he was a member of the House Impeachment Committee and he voted to impeach Richard Nixon.
00:41:24.240And incredibly, that vote cost Larry Hogan Sr. the Republican nomination for governor.
00:41:33.520The backlash against Larry Hogan Sr. for voting for Nixon's impeachment was so incredible that the party nominated a woman named Louise Gore,
00:41:46.500who was a wealthy Republican and actually a cousin of both Vice President Al Gore and, of course, Vidal Gore, the famous author.
00:41:58.480Marilyn being what it was, of course, she lost a general election, particularly in the 1974 Republican downdraft.
00:42:08.400When you look at Larry Hogan Jr., it's incredible how far the acorn has fallen from the tree.
00:42:18.760Troy, this week, earlier in the week, with the outcome of the Republican presidential primaries in both Hawaii and Washington State,
00:42:31.360Donald Trump became one of only two men in the history of the country to be nominated three times by the Republican Party for the office of president.
00:42:46.000The only other man who achieved this, of course, was President Richard Nixon.
00:42:51.580My friend Jack Posobiec pointed out that in both cases, a contested election was really the reason for the three nominations.
00:43:07.320Nixon lost the 1960 election when he was a sitting vice president.
00:43:12.860I've made a pretty good case in the two books I have written by Richard Nixon that that election was stolen.
00:43:21.580Then he made an incredible comeback in 1968, where the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the assassination of Robert Kennedy,
00:43:34.280the Vietnam War, and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King parted the seas in a way that was unforeseeable.
00:43:45.940And Nixon, who'd actually in the interim lost a 1962 race for governor of California, was able to make the greatest comeback in history.
00:43:57.700Then, of course, after a successful term as president, he was renominated in 1972, winning the greatest landslide in American history to this day.
00:44:11.220Within a year and a half, well, he was removed from office in the Watergate scandal.
00:44:19.420For anybody who didn't tune in yesterday for our incredible interview with Nick Bryant, the investigative journalist, with the real inside story of Watergate,
00:44:31.080I very highly commend that to you and urge you to check it out.
00:44:38.820Roger, I have a question real quick on the Nixon-Trump thing.
00:44:44.400I remember, and this was something I'm looking at yesterday, Nixon was really, I mean, his popularity was unbelievable.
00:44:50.640And I wanted to ask you, contrasting that with what you see now, do you see similarities in the support, the overwhelming support for Nixon and the overwhelming support for President Trump?
00:45:01.700Well, because the sequence is different, I think the situation is different.
00:45:05.920This is probably more akin to the situation regarding President Grover Cleveland.
00:45:11.800Now, he was the only president, a Democrat, who was elected, then defeated for re-election, once again in a disputed election in which his supporters insist he was robbed, that the election was stolen.
00:45:28.080And then he returned for a second extraordinarily successful term in the White House.
00:45:34.880He's the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms.
00:45:40.000So Trump would follow Cleveland when he wins this November.
00:45:47.380Watching the folks on MSNBC has really become kind of my favorite pastime, whether it is Chris Hayes or the incredibly limited Joy Reid or Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell.
00:46:08.180It looks to me like he's had a few too many.
00:46:11.520These people, they're apoplectic that the court system is actually affording Donald Trump due process.
00:46:20.840They are hysterical that they are unable to force these trials prior to the election.
00:46:29.600Now, of course, what the Supreme Court is going to do regarding the question of presidential immunity, they're apoplectic just over the fact that the court has agreed to hear the question.
00:46:43.880They're outraged that the court is even going to hear the question.
00:46:47.680They keep pointing to the calendar saying, oh, my God, you know, if arguments aren't made till April, the court could take months to make this decision.
00:47:01.140We might not get an election before, pardon me, a trial prior to the election.
00:47:06.900Does this not really, in fact, expose their entire fraudulent scam?
00:47:13.060Absolutely, Roger. And you mentioned you mentioned a whole bunch of hosts there, but no Saki, no, no, no Jen Psaki.
00:47:20.860She's my favorite. Personally, every Sunday I tune that that stuff on.
00:47:24.700I watch just the lies. And it's really unbelievable because they make things up.
00:47:30.160They literally make things up. And in the case of the Supreme Court, Roger, you know, if you wanted to get a temperature reading on how they feel about the Supreme Court justice,
00:47:39.160remember what Biden said to the Supreme Court justices during the State of the Union and realize Biden didn't write a speech.
00:47:45.900We know he didn't write a speech. And, you know, he took, you know, to my eye, it looked like he was a little drugged up during the speech,
00:47:51.900a little high on speed or something like that. And, you know, he's he's he's he's screaming at the Supreme Court justices.
00:48:00.860And it shows that they don't have any respect for these people because they're not doing their bidding.
00:48:05.100They only have respect for people who do their political bidding.
00:48:08.680And that's why they've attacked Trump to the level they have, because he stands against their political bidding.
00:48:13.720And I think the American people look at this as a joke.
00:48:16.680All right, Troy, we have to go to a quick commercial break and we'll be right back in the Stone Zone.
00:48:20.920Joining me at the news desk now is Rebecca Walzer of WalzerWealth.com.
00:48:31.920She has been a regular guest on my TV show, Brennan House Live, for a long time.
00:48:36.840She's not just an economics expert, but she's an attorney.
00:48:40.880Rebecca, you have a large firm. How many people work for your firm?
