The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - Roger Stone Reacts to FBI Report of ＂Iranian＂ Email Hack Targeting Trump Campaign

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.

00:00:07.200 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.

00:00:11.240 He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald

00:00:15.960 Trump. As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts,

00:00:20.940 spoken at countless venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the

00:00:25.980 Cambridge Union Society. Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena,

00:00:31.120 Stone has become a pop culture icon. And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.

00:00:41.360 Welcome. I'm Roger Stone. And yes, you are back in the Stone Zone. Well, Donald Trump seized the

00:00:48.880 initiative last night, returning to X, formerly known as Twitter. And now it appears that his

00:00:55.900 interview has had over one billion cumulative views. This is clearly a game changer. I do want to

00:01:04.900 stress that Elon Musk says that he invited Kamala Harris to do exactly such a conversation, and

00:01:12.780 she declined. Perhaps that's because she couldn't hold up her end of the conversation. She continues

00:01:20.120 to run an issue-less campaign, other than stealing those proposals from Donald Trump, such as no tax on

00:01:29.680 tips. Trump has also proposed ending the tax on Social Security payments for our seniors. How soon

00:01:37.860 will it be before Kamala Harris steals that one, too? A lot of politics to talk about today. Let me bring in my 0.98

00:01:45.120 co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief of Slingshot.news, who joins us in the second seat

00:01:52.400 here every weekday on the Stone Zone. Troy, welcome back. I know you're glad to be back on the show after

00:01:58.660 a field trip that you took. It's great to have you back. Roger, as always, it's an honor to be in the

00:02:03.920 Stone Zone. But before we get into the historic interview last night with Elon Musk and Donald Trump,

00:02:09.420 as you said, it's over 1 billion views. We've just got to get your opinion. I've got to get your

00:02:15.140 opinion on these headlines that are popping up all over the news landscape this morning. I've pulled a

00:02:20.120 few of them concerning your email account, your personal email account, with CNN alleging that the

00:02:25.640 Iranians have hacked into your email account and actually used that to try to reach other members 0.99

00:02:30.600 of the Trump team. What can you tell us about this situation? I know you haven't really put out many

00:02:36.680 statements. I'm very interested to hear what you have to say on this matter.

00:02:40.960 Well, here is what I am able to tell you. Several months ago, I was contacted first by Microsoft.

00:02:49.400 After confirming their identity, my lawyers and I spoke to them and they informed us that my

00:02:56.980 an old Hotmail account, which I don't really use but is still live, had been compromised. I want to be

00:03:05.420 clear that they did not specifically say hacked. They are uncertain how it was accessed. I asked them

00:03:13.160 what the purpose of this would be, since I seldom use that account, and they said the purpose is to

00:03:18.980 send outgoing emails to folks at the Trump campaign that would include a link that, if you clicked on

00:03:29.180 it, would give them access to that Trump official's computer. They didn't indicate that it had happened.

00:03:35.880 They just said that was the purpose. Then, roughly a month ago, I was contacted by the FBI.

00:03:43.300 They said essentially the same thing, that my Gmail account had been compromised. I asked them for what

00:03:52.220 purpose. They told me the exact same thing, that it would be used to send, I guess what they call

00:03:58.480 spear phishing or phishing emails to those in the Trump campaign. I asked both of them for their

00:04:05.980 advice. They said, well, keep changing your passcode. Beyond that, we can't advise you. I, of course,

00:04:11.240 have done that. Now, I don't use either one of those accounts for anything that is even the slightest

00:04:17.580 bit sensitive. So, there is no smoking gun. Beyond that, I don't know anything other than what I

00:04:24.560 read yesterday in the report released by Microsoft that specifically said that this was an action

00:04:33.180 by the Iranians. So, I'm cooperating completely with the investigation, and we'll see where this

00:04:41.040 leads. It does make a certain amount of sense. I mean, Iran, under Donald Trump, had been reduced

00:04:48.540 to a financial destitute. His sanctions against Iran so froze them out of the international community

00:04:56.660 they could not sell their abundant oil. They couldn't even sell it to the Chinese. So, one of the ways that 0.99

00:05:03.460 Trump ensured peace in the Middle East was making sure that we did not have a fully funded and armed

00:05:11.020 Iran. The Biden administration, as you know, unfroze $190 billion of assets for the Iranians,

00:05:21.140 which they have used to restart their nuclear weapons development program, and, of course, to

00:05:27.340 finance the terrorism by Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel, this double game being played by the Biden

00:05:35.500 administration. So, it would make sense that the Iranians would be hostile to the candidacy of

00:05:42.620 Donald Trump. More than that, I do not know, and more than that, I'm not going to say. The whole thing

00:05:50.560 is kind of surreal. And, of course, you know, CNN puts my name in the headline. They call that clickbait.

00:05:59.000 I guess they're running low on cash over there at CNN. They needed a few bucks, so they put my name

00:06:06.020 in the story, although I don't think I am the centerpiece of this. If you go back, Fox reported

00:06:12.920 months ago that the Iranians were targeting Trump's campaign. So, that's what we know at this moment,

00:06:21.280 and that's all I'm really going to say about it. Let's go on to American politics.

00:06:27.080 Well, thank you, Roger, for putting that statement. I really appreciate that. And,

00:06:30.500 you know, it's kind of interesting. You know, you have a lot of big news happen, Roger,

00:06:36.680 around these large events where it kind of gets overshadowed. I find that interesting. You know,

00:06:40.480 they did that with the unredacted version of the Mueller report. I believe they released that maybe

00:06:44.500 a day or two before the 2020 election. So, it seems it's a constant thing. And the big news

00:06:51.500 politically is this interview with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Now, I wanted to ask you because

00:06:56.740 the start of this interview was actually delayed by a major DDoS attack. And I think the success of

00:07:02.460 the interview, which we have a lot of clips from we're going to play, you know, is kind of overshadowing

00:07:07.020 the idea that Twitter was once again attacked pretty viciously. And I did see a tweet from General

00:07:14.100 Michael Flynn, which I want to ask you about, where he said that a DDoS attack of this size

00:07:19.840 had to come from some kind of foreign nation. It's such a large attack that it couldn't just 0.99

00:07:24.740 be a group of hackers. It had to be a coordinated effort with people with a lot of resources,

00:07:29.840 which General Flynn pointed towards possibly a hostile foreign government, maybe the same

00:07:34.580 Iranians that have tried to access your email account. So, I want to ask you about that.

00:07:39.840 You know, Roger, what do you think happened here? Do you think that this was sabotaged

00:07:43.540 by the deep state to try to stop this interview from happening?

00:07:47.460 It's very, very hard to say. I mean, first of all, I think Elon is a technological genius,

00:07:52.820 and he obviously has some really excellent people working for him. You saw when Ron DeSantis,

00:08:00.320 a much, much lesser political figure than Donald Trump, tried to do his actual announcement of

00:08:06.940 candidacy on X, which makes sense because Ron, you know, doesn't like people and doesn't want to be

00:08:13.820 with him, that their system crashed very badly, which disrupted his plan. Now, Elon told us in a

00:08:21.600 series of posts that they were preparing for a huge number of people to join the space. And I think

00:08:32.780 he, the point, of course, is that Trump is so big, his appeal is so big, the interest in his and what

00:08:38.840 he has to say is so big that even with those preparations, I mean, expanding their capacity

00:08:46.260 for people to join, they had some early problems. I don't think it hurt the overall effort. I've been

00:08:54.920 so busy dealing with media inquiries pertaining to this Russian, pardon me, this alleged Iranian hack

00:09:03.560 that I really haven't had a chance to listen to the entire program or the entire space. But yeah,

00:09:12.140 I think that they will do anything they can to limit Donald Trump's access. The good news here,

00:09:18.980 the really good news, is that Donald Trump is back on X. This is something I have wanted for

00:09:24.860 some time. Now, I love Truth Social. I think it's great for speaking to the base and speaking to

00:09:30.420 your supporters. But I also think that it is essential that he continue to stay at X because

00:09:40.300 he's literally going to be able to reach millions more people than he can. And it's, you know, we're

00:09:46.280 less than 90 days to the election. So I think that's the good idea. Well, and Roger, I think the

00:09:51.880 tremendous power of Elon Musk, you know, I think there's a, there's something that happens with

00:09:56.880 the liberals, particularly with Elon Musk, because he's built the ultimate electric vehicle. You

00:10:02.580 know, if there's anybody that's helped this country move towards the idea of green or clean

00:10:07.460 energy, as these people refer to it, it's Elon Musk. And, you know, the idea that that guy is

00:10:13.460 supporting Donald Trump, I think really freaks them out. And we saw this in the media reaction to

00:10:18.700 what we saw in this interview yesterday. I have a clip. Now, you mentioned Trump has returned to X.

00:10:25.920 And one of the things that I saw yesterday was an ad that you actually shared talking about the quote

00:10:33.320 was, Trump was right about everything. And it actually goes back to 1987, when you, Roger, were

00:10:39.500 among the first people to encourage Donald Trump to seek the presidency. He's one, of course, a friend of

00:10:46.200 over 45 plus years. So I want to roll that advertisement and get your thoughts on how this

00:10:52.800 was put together. I think it was a tremendous way to kind of welcome Trump back onto the platform

00:10:57.200 with posting these videos. So let's roll that.

00:11:00.860 Is New York's Donald Trump running for president?

00:11:04.920 He bought full page ads in three East Coast newspapers today, stating his views on foreign policy,

00:11:10.280 and these ads will win him a following. In the ads, he says, there's nothing wrong with

00:11:17.600 American foreign policy that little backbone won't cure. And he said, we have no business

00:11:24.140 spending ourselves broke in the Middle East, protecting ships that are not ours and oil that

00:11:29.360 we don't need.

00:11:29.940 rumblings in the Trump camp point as far as the presidency. Somebody has to help this country.

00:11:35.120 And if they don't, the country and the world are in big trouble because within a short period

00:11:39.780 of time, as sure as we're sitting here, there's not going to be a country and there's not going

00:11:43.360 to be a world.

00:11:44.240 I have no intention of running for president. And if it got so bad, I would never want to rule

00:11:48.960 it out totally.

00:11:52.420 Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come.

00:12:01.820 For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government

00:12:08.640 while the people have borne the cost.

00:12:12.600 That all changes starting right here and right now. Because this moment is your moment. It

00:12:22.620 belongs to you.

00:12:26.860 The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

00:12:32.960 Trump leading in five of the six most important battleground states.

00:12:37.120 Biden continues to trail Donald Trump.

00:12:39.180 Our latest polling out of Iowa also shows former President Trump with a 30-point lead

00:12:43.840 over his newest rival.

00:12:45.140 The Republican primary is over.

00:12:46.680 Donald Trump basically has this nomination locked up.

00:12:56.500 Everyone is listening to you now.

00:13:00.360 I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down.

00:13:09.180 My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over. In fact, our fight has only just begun.

00:13:17.720 That is really, really powerful. And, Troy, it brings back so many fond memories. It was 1988 when I first proposed to Donald Trump that I thought he would not only be a great candidate for president, but I thought that he'd be a great president.

00:13:37.700 And he kind of laughed and said, why do you say that?

00:13:42.360 I said, well, because you already have some very strong feelings about the way our national defense has been allowed to atrophy, the trade deals in which we're getting ripped off by everyone.

00:13:53.360 Trump had this great line. He said, you know, they send their toughest, smartest negotiators, we send social workers to negotiate on our behalf.

00:14:03.420 Even then, he was demanding that our NATO partners pay their fair share, which is something that he later made them do as president.

00:14:13.440 So I saw it very early. That ad made the hair on the back of my neck stand up because it brought back so many great memories.

00:14:22.580 And now we're in this improbable position where I think the only thing that stands between us and chaos is Donald Trump.

00:14:32.180 Folks, I do want to tell you that coming up with us momentarily, Sonia Hightower-Labasco, who is a former assistant federal secretary director for law enforcement, executive director today of the Air Marshal's National Council.

00:14:51.220 But she is the woman who came forward based on whistleblower testimony to tell us that Tulsi Gabbard had been put under surveillance and that her name had been added to a secret domestic terrorist watch list very recently in July, right after she criticized Kamala Harris in an interview.

00:15:15.360 Now, Tulsi Gabbard is a former four-term Democrat congresswoman, but more importantly, I think perhaps she's a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.

00:15:27.780 She was actually on active duty when this story broke.

00:15:32.460 Sonia Hightower-Labasco, who is the courageous woman who made this story public, going to join us in just a few minutes.

00:15:41.480 So, folks, don't tune away.

00:15:45.360 All right, Troy, we've got a little time for one more political story, and then I want to go right to Sonia because I'm very excited about having her as a guest. 0.65

00:15:55.200 Yeah, me too, Roger.

00:15:56.240 I think that's going to be a great interview.

00:15:57.940 We have one clip that I want to get your reaction to, and this is the reaction from the media as it pertains to this Trump-Musk interview,

00:16:05.620 which was just a tremendous interview, I think, for particularly independent voters.

00:16:11.220 This interview, I think, is going to be very potent for them because, like I said, Elon Musk is a guy that kind of transcends politics.

00:16:18.120 He transcends tech even.

00:16:20.540 And, you know, he's crossed into so many different areas of tech that he's become kind of a spokesman, I think, for independent-minded people in this country.

00:16:29.080 And the fact that he's sitting with Trump and kind of interviewing him and going through all this stuff, it's very important.

00:16:33.840 But CNN went into a full-blown panic about this interview, and we have a reaction from them, and I want to get Roger's thoughts on the media reaction to this Trump-Musk interview.

00:16:44.300 Let's roll that.

00:16:44.820 It began with 40 minutes of silence, and then a bro-pocalypse of politics.

00:16:49.960 No matter how you frame it or what caused the glitch, what was finally said between Donald Trump and Elon Musk at last night's Big X event

00:16:57.320 can largely be defined as a rant filled with familiar lies and lines of attack.

00:17:03.840 Kamala wouldn't have this conversation. 0.51

00:17:08.560 She can't because she's not smart. 0.99

00:17:10.280 You know, she's not a smart person. 0.99

00:17:11.840 She is a radical left San Francisco liberal, and now she's trying to protect...

00:17:17.400 Now she's looking like she's... 1.00

00:17:18.960 She wants to be more Trump than Trump, if that's possible.

00:17:22.480 I don't think it's possible.

00:17:23.620 But she wants to be more Trump than Trump. 0.99

00:17:25.780 She's terrible.

00:17:26.640 But she's getting a free ride. 0.97

00:17:28.840 All right.

00:17:29.640 But did it do what it was designed to do, which was to put the brakes on...

00:17:33.840 Really extraordinary.

00:17:39.640 You saw this across the board on social media last night.

00:17:44.760 You see, the left liked it much better when they had a total monopoly on the flow of information on the Internet,

00:17:52.500 which is exactly, sadly, what happened in 2020, where pro-Trump voices, Republicans, conservatives, independents, libertarians, just free thinkers found themselves not only censored, shadowbanned, but in many, many cases just arbitrarily canceled.

00:18:09.400 So just the fact that Elon Musk allows X to operate as a free speech platform drives them completely insane.

00:18:19.520 They can only win when only they have the megaphone.

00:18:23.420 They can't win when both sides are allowed to speak.

00:18:26.900 Watching the Rachel Maddows, who's been consistently wrong about everything, jump up and down today is funny.

00:18:37.360 I just noticed that this former FBI agent, Frank Figlusi, who I call Frank Fugazi, a guy who lied for two years about the Russian collusion hoax, brought disgrace upon himself and the Bureau.

00:18:51.360 He's criticizing me today for being the target of a hack, calling me a weak link.

00:18:57.020 My friend, we will see who the weak link is.

00:19:00.220 Once I publish my book, I actually have a compendium of all of your lies, every one of them, a lie.

00:19:07.240 It's amazing how the same bad actors never go away.

00:19:12.180 We are going to take a very quick commercial break, and then we're going to come back with Sonia Hightower-Labasco,

00:19:18.780 who heads the association director of the Air Marshals National Council.

00:19:26.140 She's a very brave woman, a woman of enormous courage, and she has broken an enormous story, folks.

00:19:32.860 We're going to get right into it.

00:19:34.400 I'm going to tell you now, given this situation, it's even more important.

00:19:39.400 If you have a concern about your emails or your text messages being read, let me recommend the satellite 955 phone.

00:19:50.640 Now, it's not just the phone here.

00:19:52.460 The important thing, of course, is the satellite system.

00:19:56.180 This is a cell phone that is completely and totally encrypted.

00:20:01.380 Your cell phone messages, your cell phone text, your cell phone conversations cannot be monitored.

00:20:10.940 And I really experienced this the first time when the AT&T system went down.

00:20:18.320 Let's roll a clip on this.

00:20:20.720 Okay.

00:20:22.460 This is Roger Stone.

00:20:25.000 Remember when AT&T's cell phone outage left millions, including me, stranded without a means to communicate with loved ones, business associates, or even for emergency services?

00:20:36.340 You see, cellular networks are particularly vulnerable, big targets for hackers and terrorists, as well as vulnerable to hurricanes and other natural disasters.

00:20:45.920 So, if your cell phone goes down, how will you communicate?

00:20:49.920 That's why I got the Iridium 9555 satellite phone and service.

00:20:56.920 I'm using the proprietary Iridium satellite service.

00:21:01.260 Cell networks only cover about 7% of the Earth, while the Iridium system covers 100% of the Earth.

00:21:08.060 You can call or text from any place you can see the sky.

00:21:12.160 These are trusted by U.S. military and government officials everywhere.

00:21:16.260 All calls are encrypted, safe and secure.

00:21:19.300 No eavesdropping, no hacking.

00:21:20.860 It's the reason the U.S. military uses Iridium phones and the U.S. Senate uses satellite phones for their secure phone calls.

00:21:29.600 You, too, can ensure your privacy by using our Iridium proprietary satellite network.

00:21:35.440 Just go to sat123.com slash roger.

00:21:40.600 No tracking and no one can listen to your calls.

00:21:43.580 No one will ever read your text but the person you're sending them to.

00:21:46.960 And more importantly, big tech cannot steal and then sell your data.

00:21:51.820 You can get the Iridium 9555 phone at no cost if you sign up for a plan with a 24-month agreement.

00:21:59.620 A monthly plan is only $95.95, and you get the phone for free.

00:22:06.520 You can get a plan with us for as little as $85.95.

00:22:11.140 And then there are discounted family share plans with up to three free phones.

00:22:15.800 Those are also available.

00:22:17.520 The Iridium 9555 satellite phone will work from anywhere on Earth with no exceptions.

00:22:24.120 Oh, and how do you keep your satellite phone charged in the event of an electrical grid shutdown?

00:22:29.140 You're going to want our solar-powered satellite phone recharger.

00:22:33.720 You can get it all by going to sat123.com slash roger.

00:22:39.500 You need to have secure communications.

00:22:42.240 Get your Iridium 9555 phone now.

00:22:45.740 There's a security of knowing that if the cell phone system, which is extraordinarily vulnerable, cell towers and so on, go down.

00:22:59.720 Or even worse, if we had a complete electric power grid shutdown, which we've been told by the FBI is entirely possible, how would you communicate with your loved ones?

00:23:12.320 This is an amazing system using a proprietary satellite, and you recharge your phone with cellular power.

00:23:21.940 So you'll always be in contact.

00:23:24.900 Urge you to check it out.

00:23:26.300 All right.

00:23:27.040 Joining us now, the guest I promised you, Sonia Hightower-Labasco.

00:23:32.440 She has an extensive experience as a law enforcement officer.

00:23:37.980 She currently serves as the executive director of the Air Marshals National Council, which is a professional association that advocates for federal air marshals who are deployed worldwide to protect aviation travel.

00:23:53.240 She works directly with the congressional oversight committees for comprehensive reforms due to the current, I would say, decline and dangers in our aviation security.

00:24:07.100 She first joined the Air Marshal Service in June of 2002, shortly after the tragic events of 9-11.

00:24:15.120 She was first assigned to the Orlando Field Office as a federal air marshal, was charged with deploying and mentoring federal air marshals on behalf of the Transportation Security Administration.

00:24:28.800 During her career with the Federal Air Marshal Service, she served as a federal air marshal and was promoted to assistant to the special agent in charge in 2007.

00:24:40.220 Sonia, I could go on and on with your impressive resume.

00:24:43.460 You have an extensive background, including serving 12 years with the Daytona Beach Police Department.

00:24:50.160 My son is a sheriff's deputy here in Florida.

00:24:52.740 We're very proud of his service as well as yours.

00:24:56.100 You were awarded the Medal of Valor and the Medal of Merit during your tenure there.

00:25:00.460 It is an honor to have you today on the Stone Zone, and welcome.

00:25:05.200 Well, thank you, Mr. Stone.

00:25:06.880 It's a pleasure to be here, and thank you so much for taking the time to highlight this very nefarious and tragic latest incident of targeting of Ms. Tulsa Gabbard.

00:25:16.580 Yeah, this is an incredible story.

00:25:20.120 This broke several days ago when Sonia came forward because, as I understand it, several whistleblowers with credibility have come forward to you and told you that in July,

00:25:34.820 after Congresswoman Tulsa Gabbard criticized Kamala Harris in an interview, she was placed on a secret domestic terrorist watch list under something the TSA calls the Quiet Skies program, 0.77

00:25:54.940 and actual physical surveillance of her while on flights began the day after that.

00:26:02.740 Now, she's not just an average citizen. 0.68

00:26:05.500 She's obviously not accused or even suspected of any crime of any kind.

00:26:11.860 She's a distinguished former four-term congresswoman from Hawaii.

00:26:17.100 She's a former national co-chairman of the Democrat Party who's now left that party to become an independent.

00:26:25.860 I guess, how did you first learn about this, and where does it go from here?

00:26:31.400 I think you've been very courageous in coming forward.

00:26:35.220 On the other hand, we've seen a situation recently where instead of whistleblowers being respected for their courage,

00:26:43.680 the government tries to destroy them because they come forward and tell the American people the truth.

00:26:49.880 Well, you're so correct.

00:26:52.060 I mean, I got this information.

00:26:53.920 We established the Air Marshal National Council back in 2019 when we started seeing a decline within our operations.

00:27:01.380 We're inside TSA.

00:27:03.500 We're the only law enforcement component inside the Transportation Security Administration,

00:27:08.220 which is a 65,000-plus bureaucratic agency.

00:27:11.640 So we banded together.

00:27:13.300 We have Air Marshals in all 20 field offices across the nation,

00:27:17.140 and those Air Marshals bring information to me as the Executive Director regarding fraud, waste, and abuse.

00:27:22.820 So when I first got the information regarding Ms. Gabbard, I thought maybe it was an anomaly.

00:27:28.140 So we got the information.

00:27:29.560 We knew that she was on this domestic terrorist watch list, but we thought, well, maybe it was random.

00:27:35.160 So we sat back and we waited, and then there was a second mission that Air Marshals flew,

00:27:40.300 and then there was a third mission that we followed her, and then the fourth mission.

00:27:44.260 So then we clearly knew that she was being targeted, and we were just outraged.

00:27:48.480 We thought it was a disgrace.

00:27:50.280 Ms. Gabbard's a serving lieutenant colonel in the military, a combat veteran,

00:27:55.200 and here we are deploying resources, undercover agents, physical security details,

00:28:01.400 and monitoring someone that is not a threat to our country.

00:28:04.600 So we felt it was very important, number one, to contact Ms. Gabbard to let her know,

00:28:09.660 because we're fellow patriots too.

00:28:11.660 She served because of 9-11.

00:28:13.460 We served because of 9-11.

00:28:15.000 And we're just not going to stand by and let a fellow patriot be treated this way without standing up in defense of her

00:28:21.260 and the many other thousands of Americans put on this list.

00:28:25.100 Sonia, do any of your whistleblowers tell you what the rationale for this decision is?

00:28:32.460 I guess there's two questions.

00:28:33.960 First of all, who made this decision?

00:28:35.520 Who decided to begin spying on a distinguished congresswoman through this secret program? 0.99

00:28:44.020 And then secondarily, does anybody want to speculate among your whistleblowers the reason for this other than raw politics?

00:28:53.520 Yeah, the decision was made by TSA Administrator David Pekosky.

00:28:57.320 He is the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration.

00:29:01.820 And after George Bush made the Aviation Security Transportation Act after 9-11,

00:29:08.220 it gives the TSA Administrator near dictatorial powers to do things like this against the American people.

00:29:14.840 So this is squarely on the TSA Administrator's shoulders.

00:29:18.480 There's no one else to blame but this individual.

00:29:21.620 And when the whistleblowers, you know, when they came forward in regards to this story,

00:29:25.920 they know that they're going to be targeted.

00:29:28.040 We know that there's an investigation opened against our current serving air marshals,

00:29:32.360 and we're doing everything we can to protect them.

00:29:35.060 So there's one person to blame, and that's Administrator Pekosky.

00:29:38.200 And we've blown the whistle on him for years regarding this program.

00:29:41.560 But hopefully this story will highlight the nefarious and egregious actions

00:29:45.900 that are continuing to happen within this administrative agency.

00:29:49.380 Troy, do you have a question for Sonia?

00:29:54.580 Absolutely.

00:29:55.500 The idea that they chose Tulsi Gabbard, of all people, is really alarming, I think, to so many people.

00:30:03.060 And it goes back to me, to accusations that were made against Tulsi Gabbard by Kamala Harris,

00:30:10.040 where she accused her of being a Russian agent over and over again.

00:30:13.820 And I wanted to ask you, you know, how is this determination made?

00:30:18.080 Do you think that that played into it, or is this purely politics?

00:30:20.940 Because it seems to me that Tulsi Gabbard's crime may just be criticizing Kamala Harris.

00:30:27.280 And I also wanted to ask you, do you think that that points to any kind of weaponization of government

00:30:32.860 we may see kind of exacerbated if Harris would possibly win the 2024 election?

00:30:37.580 Well, we absolutely do.

00:30:40.120 We do believe that Ms. Gabbard was targeted because of her coming out.

00:30:43.760 She was on Laura Ingram in Fox News on the 23rd.

00:30:47.380 And then straight after that, she was added to this watch list.

00:30:50.820 So you have to look at what time she was added to the list and the reasoning behind it.

00:30:55.580 And we can only believe within the Air Marshal National Council is politically motivated.

00:31:00.200 Everything that's happened with our mission has been politically motivated.

00:31:03.720 They've taken air marshals off high-risk flights to put us down on the border,

00:31:06.820 to hand out water.

00:31:08.740 And we're actually allowing terrorists to come across the border.

00:31:12.680 And we're helping them come across the border and putting them on flights that we're not covering.

00:31:17.080 But we're going to track Ms. Gabbard.

00:31:18.780 Think of how crazy this is.

00:31:21.200 We know that there are 100 terrorists in our country right now that we don't know where they're located.

00:31:25.940 But we actually opened the border, allowed them in. 0.99

00:31:29.400 TSA Administrator David Pekosky created a special screening lane for those coming across the border

00:31:35.140 with no identification, to put them on planes where there's no air marshals.

00:31:38.920 But yet we're going to focus our attention on Ms. Gabbard.

00:31:41.920 So you can only look at the political nature of what they've weaponized the air marshals to do

00:31:45.940 since the post-Biden administration.

00:31:48.380 And it can only lead one to believe she's being targeted because of her political stance against

00:31:53.940 this administration and the bad things that are happening.

00:31:56.140 Sonia, you raise yet another troubling issue, and that is actual air marshall protection

00:32:05.420 on airlines, on commercial flights, has been very, very severely reduced, as I understand it,

00:32:12.560 and that some of those agents have been sent to the southern border, but not for enforcement purposes,

00:32:19.060 essentially to hand out bottles of water to those who are entering the country illegally.

00:32:24.760 Is this a major concern of the council?

00:32:28.880 It is, and we've been fighting this since 2021.

00:32:32.280 We've actually, we've been in Congress.

00:32:34.200 We have two bills that are on the floor right now.

00:32:36.580 Senator Ted Cruz put No FAMS on Border Act, and there's a companion bill by Congresswoman

00:32:43.040 Ashley Henson in the House side because we just simply cannot take our resources out of these

00:32:49.900 high-risk flights to go down to the border to hand out water.

00:32:52.440 And gentlemen, I'll tell you, we're handing out water.

00:32:55.160 If we were doing anything valid, I would tell you there's no duty that we're helping there

00:32:59.780 on the border other than keeping our skies unsecure, our borders unsecure.

00:33:05.260 I mean, we are really flagrant in this nation.

00:33:08.180 Our security is not being taken care of by the resources we're paying for.

00:33:12.680 I mean, TSA is receiving $11 billion a year, and we're following Ms. Tulsi Gabbard when

00:33:19.180 we've got hundreds of terrorists that are across this nation, and we don't even know

00:33:22.980 where they're at. 0.97

00:33:23.840 I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous. 0.90

00:33:27.340 It is, I guess, the most obvious question also is, are congressional Republicans now going 0.76

00:33:34.580 to dig into why Tulsi Gabbard, a former colleague, has been targeted in this way?

00:33:41.240 I would think that they would have a keen interest in this, could be the oversight.

00:33:47.200 I mean, it fits among a number of their investigations because, again, it's use of the authority of

00:33:54.340 the government for strictly political purposes.

00:33:57.560 Tulsi Gabbard is not a danger to anyone.

00:34:00.120 She's certainly not a domestic terrorist. 0.88

00:34:03.280 You'll remember when she bested Kamala Harris in a debate, which she clearly did, Hillary 1.00

00:34:11.860 Clinton came out and accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian asset, which is an outrage.

00:34:18.640 In other words, if you're opposed to shipping billions more to Ukraine, that makes you not

00:34:25.040 a patriotic American.

00:34:26.160 That makes you a Russian simp, a Russian asset. 0.70

00:34:31.020 That's outrageous.

00:34:32.460 I know that Tulsi sued Hillary. 0.97

00:34:34.520 I don't know the results of that defamation lawsuit.

00:34:38.620 But what do you hear from the Congress, Asanya?

00:34:42.980 Well, this is an issue.

00:34:44.300 We brought this straight to Congress right after 2021.

00:34:46.780 We received, through a Freedom of Information Act, a letter that, at the time, Congressman

00:34:51.900 Benny Thompson, who later became chair of the January 6th committee, had written to TSA

00:34:57.000 Administrator Pekoski, and he had requested that Pekoski put domestic terrorists and white

00:35:02.780 supremacists on this watch list after the incident at January 6th, 2021.

00:35:08.360 But what we discovered through our investigation and our sources, the individuals that were added

00:35:13.540 to this list were not even at the Capitol.

00:35:15.960 They had flown into the National Capitol region, and they had been put on this domestic terrorist

00:35:20.900 watch list.

00:35:21.820 So we've been to every oversight committee.

00:35:24.440 We've been working this for years now, and we've been to weaponization.

00:35:28.760 We've been to House Homeland.

00:35:30.180 They have the direct evidence.

00:35:31.680 We've provided that direct evidence to our oversight committees, and we had only wished

00:35:36.660 that they would have stopped this program because if they would have shut Quiet Skies

00:35:39.860 down and had some hearings or some accountability, then this would not have happened to

00:35:44.340 Ms. Gabbard.

00:35:44.900 So, you know, the domino effect here is real because this program could have truly been

00:35:50.180 stopped back in 2023 when we brought everything to Congress.

00:35:54.920 All right.

00:35:55.820 Troy, do you have another question for Sonia?

00:35:59.580 Absolutely.

00:36:00.540 So the Quiet Skies program, how long has this been in effect?

00:36:04.900 Is there a possibility that there are other people, perhaps like Roger, who was the target

00:36:13.400 of this latest hack and things like that?

00:36:15.680 Is it a possibility that they're also watching him and other people that are involved politically

00:36:19.860 in this country right now?

00:36:21.680 Yeah, there's a great concern that they're watching you because of your political beliefs.

00:36:25.580 And this program, you know, it started in 2012, and it started as just a tool for us as the

00:36:32.060 air marshals if there was a high-security passenger that placed a risk to the flight.

00:36:37.820 So after 2012, this program started growing, and TSA realized that there's no oversight

00:36:43.040 or accountability in regards to the Quiet Skies.

00:36:46.080 So we call it like the self-licking ice cream cone.

00:36:49.520 They can create these watch lists, and they can surveil people to go back to Congress, and

00:36:55.420 then they can have these fake metrics that say, hey, we followed, you know, 10,000 domestic

00:37:00.860 terrorist suspects, so we need to go from a $9 billion budget to a $10 billion budget.

00:37:06.580 But in the meantime, they're stomping on our First Amendment and the Fourth Amendment to do

00:37:10.860 that to the citizens and the travelers in this country.

00:37:13.720 I mean, we deserve better.

00:37:15.320 Our security deserves better.

00:37:17.300 Travelers pay every day on a ticket $5.60 each way for security, and they're not getting

00:37:25.460 that.

00:37:25.780 All they're getting is surveillance.

00:37:27.380 They're not getting safety.

00:37:29.080 They're getting surveilled for that money.

00:37:32.200 Sonia, do you think that the House Republicans will subpoena the head, the man who made these

00:37:41.380 decisions, to ask him on what basis Tulsi Gabbard was put on this secret domestic terrorist list?

00:37:49.520 I mean, they absolutely should.

00:37:51.440 I mean, it's very glaring.

00:37:53.100 It's her political views.

00:37:54.680 She is not a domestic terrorist, and she's not a suspected domestic terrorist.

00:37:58.900 She is an active serving lieutenant colonel in the military with the top secret clearance,

00:38:04.360 by the way.

00:38:04.900 I mean, why hasn't she been interviewed?

00:38:07.080 If she's such a threat, who is running the investigation against her?

00:38:11.000 Why is TSA allowing this to continue when they know that she's not a suspected domestic

00:38:15.580 terrorist?

00:38:16.360 I mean, who is really in charge here?

00:38:18.560 And I hope the House Republicans and the Senate as well.

00:38:21.840 I hope they have some really hard questions, and I hope someone gets fired from this.

00:38:26.720 That's really what my hope is, that they get fired, because we don't need people like this

00:38:30.680 in our government service going on these political tangents and making that pendulum swing toward

00:38:36.820 a political opponent.

00:38:38.040 It's got to stop.

00:38:40.260 Well, one of the major concerns I have, of course, and I know you share this, is when an

00:38:45.940 air marshal who chooses to come forward as a whistleblower and tell the truth does so,

00:38:51.840 they put their livelihood in jeopardy.

00:38:56.080 They put their career in jeopardy.

00:38:57.860 They put their family in jeopardy.

00:39:00.180 Instead of embracing these people for their courage, as we've seen in the case of the FBI,

00:39:05.700 they become ostracized.

00:39:07.200 There's an effort to destroy them, both their reputations and also to destroy them financially.

00:39:14.080 This is why I guess I'm glad that the whistleblowers are able to go to you.

00:39:20.080 You're not currently serving as an air marshal, having retired to head the council, but I have

00:39:28.640 a concern about those people who had the courage to step forward.

00:39:32.220 Now, if they go to a congressional hearing and they say what they know, under oath, I might

00:39:37.820 add, I'm afraid that they'll be ostracized, that they'll be punished rather than respected

00:39:43.280 for their courage.

00:39:44.300 They will be.

00:39:46.460 I mean, you know, Mr. Stone, that's a concern we all have, but our constitution and our amendments

00:39:52.040 matter.

00:39:53.120 And we have to stand strong at this time in our country to say, we took an oath to the

00:39:58.320 country.

00:39:58.900 We did not take an oath to an agency.

00:40:01.160 And our constitution is the only thing that's going to guide us.

00:40:04.080 And they will guide these whistleblowers.

00:40:05.700 And we will provide for them.

00:40:07.420 We will take care of them.

00:40:08.880 They will not be alone in their fight.

00:40:10.680 They're courageous.

00:40:11.640 They came forward.

00:40:13.040 And we're just going to send a message to TSA.

00:40:15.860 We've got protection for our whistleblowers, and you will not get to them that easily.

00:40:20.420 All right.

00:40:21.240 I think we're going to have to leave it there.

00:40:23.940 This has been a great segment.

00:40:25.480 First of all, I want to congratulate you, Sonia, for having the courage to step forward.

00:40:30.100 This is a story that has not gotten the coverage that I think it deserves.

00:40:34.360 Laura Ingram interviewed Tulsi Gabbard on this, so did my friend Sean Hannity.

00:40:41.780 But I can't find it in the New York Times.

00:40:45.360 I checked the Washington Post.

00:40:47.400 It doesn't seem to be in the Wall Street Journal.

00:40:50.240 CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, none of them.

00:40:55.180 MSNBC.

00:40:56.660 Now, I don't get my news from MSNBC for the same reason I don't, you know, eat out of the

00:41:01.740 toilet.

00:41:02.620 But it's amazing here that you have no, virtually no mainstream coverage.

00:41:09.560 This is spying on a woman who's actually a decorated combat veteran in both Iraq and Kuwait.

00:41:17.820 That just adds to the outrageousness of it.

00:41:21.380 All right.

00:41:21.660 We're going to have to leave it there.

00:41:24.020 Sonia Hightower-Labasco, I want to thank you so much for joining us.

00:41:28.100 Thank you also, on behalf of every American, for having the courage to step forward and

00:41:34.240 break this incredible story.

00:41:36.840 I think it is an important story, particularly in the run-up to the next presidential election,

00:41:43.720 which is, of course, the most important election of my lifetime.

00:41:47.980 God bless you, and thank you for joining us today.

00:41:50.220 And I look forward to seeing you soon.

00:41:53.040 Thank you, sir.

00:41:53.580 God bless you.

00:41:54.200 All right, Troy, a terrific segment there.

00:42:00.020 I believe this is among the first interviews that Sonia Hightower-Labasco has done, a woman

00:42:07.260 of uncommon valor and courage.

00:42:10.260 She, too, can be punished just for coming forward and telling the American people the truth.

00:42:16.060 So I'm really pleased that she was able to join us today.

00:42:20.100 Let us now go back to a little bit of politics.

00:42:24.760 We have a little bit of time here before we have to move on.

00:42:28.100 Before we get to some of the clips of this interview, because we have a little bit of time here,

00:42:32.820 I wanted to ask your opinion on this press conference.

00:42:36.300 And the White House press secretary yesterday held a press conference in which she basically

00:42:41.100 blamed Kamala Harris for everything that's happened that's negative throughout the entire

00:42:46.160 Biden administration.

00:42:47.120 And it kind of led me to believe, like, maybe Jean-Pierre is up there.

00:42:51.600 She knows she's getting axed if they go to a new administration. 1.00

00:42:55.360 She's just throwing Kamala under the bus. 1.00

00:42:58.100 We have two separate clips I want to play of her pretty, like, I think, directly throwing

00:43:02.460 Kamala Harris under the bus.

00:43:04.060 Let's roll the first clip where she says that there's no difference in the policies that will

00:43:09.420 be implemented by Kamala Harris on the border and the policies that have already allowed

00:43:14.360 20-plus million illegal immigrants to surge the border under President Biden.

00:43:18.900 She says there's literally no difference between the two people in their policies on the border.

00:43:24.360 So let's roll that clip.

00:43:25.660 How long have you guys known that Vice President Harris does not think President Biden is doing

00:43:30.680 a good job at the border?

00:43:32.620 Wait, say that one more time?

00:43:33.740 Well, she's now promising to hire thousands more border agents than there are now under 0.84

00:43:40.220 President Biden.

00:43:41.100 Wait, but start your question again?

00:43:43.320 How long have you guys known that Vice President Harris does not think that President Biden is

00:43:47.180 effective with his border policy?

00:43:48.820 I mean, that, you're making a huge jump.

00:43:51.320 Why, why, she did not say this.

00:43:52.800 This is something that you are assuming.

00:43:55.240 I don't understand why you would assume that.

00:43:56.860 It's not true.

00:43:57.600 She has a campaign ad where she is saying they need more border patrol agents.

00:44:02.360 If President Biden is doing such a good job, why do they need any more border agents?

00:44:05.660 We both believe that.

00:44:06.680 The President does want more border patrol agents.

00:44:09.160 You know who's getting in the way?

00:44:10.660 You know who's getting in the way?

00:44:11.980 Republicans in Congress.

00:44:13.020 They're getting in the way.

00:44:13.780 You know who else is getting in the way?

00:44:15.100 The former President.

00:44:17.040 Donald Trump.

00:44:17.580 He's getting in the way.

00:44:19.260 I mean, I don't, there's no daylight here.

00:44:21.500 I'm not understanding the question because there's no daylight.

00:44:24.000 The President believes that as well.

00:44:25.720 And he's worked towards doing that.

00:44:28.640 There's a bipartisan.

00:44:29.800 I know you guys probably get sick of me saying this, but there was.

00:44:34.000 There was a bipartisan agreement that was on the table that the President worked through

00:44:38.880 for a couple of months with Republicans in the Senate and Democrats.

00:44:44.680 They were told not to move forward because it would help Joe Biden by the former President.

00:44:49.340 That's their decision.

00:44:52.880 Again, they keep repeating the same lie.

00:44:56.160 The so-called Lankford bill in the U.S. Senate guaranteed that two million people who were

00:45:04.600 illegals could enter the country every year.

00:45:08.120 It was not a solution.

00:45:10.300 The vast majority of the funding in that bill was put there to facilitate the entry and processing

00:45:18.340 of more illegals.

00:45:19.780 So this idea that we had a bipartisan bill, but that Donald Trump opposed it for political

00:45:25.900 purposes, that's complete nonsense.

00:45:28.520 It's just a lie.

00:45:30.380 Secondarily, however, you see this shifting narrative.

00:45:34.480 So now not only is Kamala Harris talking about ending the tax on tips for service employees.

00:45:44.200 Hmm.

00:45:44.440 Where'd I hear that one before?

00:45:46.360 But she's also now suddenly pledging to seal our border.

00:45:50.620 She's going to hire hundreds of new border patrol agents, and she's going to crack down on illegal 0.99

00:45:58.700 immigration.

00:46:00.400 Where have these people been for three and a half years? 1.00

00:46:03.760 And I guess how stupid does she think the American people are? 1.00

00:46:08.040 Kamala Harris's agenda is a continuation of Joe Biden's agenda. 1.00

00:46:15.480 Switching from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris would be like leaving the dirty diapers on the baby and 0.98

00:46:22.820 just changing the pins.

00:46:24.700 Nothing whatsoever would change.

00:46:27.360 Troy, you have another video for us.

00:46:29.580 Absolutely.

00:46:30.100 And we have one more clip in that vein where she talks about, you know, one of the crazy

00:46:34.920 things, Roger, if you actually look up a chart, we don't have it here, but of Biden's approval

00:46:39.320 rating.

00:46:39.940 It's actually, you know, it's positive for the first few months of his presidency as,

00:46:44.060 you know, most presidents enjoy a bump at the beginning of their presidency.

00:46:47.480 But the turning point for Joe Biden was the Afghanistan withdrawal in the summer of 2021.

00:46:53.300 If you look at a graph of his approval rating, it's an X right at that date, because it was

00:46:58.460 probably one of the weakest moments in the history of our country.

00:47:01.700 I mean, President Trump put it correctly, it was akin to the fall of, you know, Vietnam

00:47:07.100 and leaving there and the disaster that ensued there.

00:47:11.060 We just, it was a, you know, it was a terrible situation that Joe Biden put this country in

00:47:16.540 in Afghanistan.

00:47:17.780 And we had the White House press secretary saying that Kamala Harris supported this withdrawal

00:47:22.960 that left 13 U.S. service members dead.

00:47:25.960 Let's roll that clip and get Roger's reaction.

00:47:27.920 The president has said that she was the last person in the room with President Biden ahead

00:47:32.480 of his decision to order U.S. troops to pull out of Afghanistan.

00:47:37.040 Was the vice president in full support of his decision to order that withdrawal and in full

00:47:43.140 support of the way that it was implemented?

00:47:44.600 I mean, she answered that question herself.

00:47:46.520 I don't have anything else to add.

00:47:48.140 It sounds like she answered the question herself, right?

00:47:50.840 She said that she was in the room previously.

00:47:53.180 But didn't she also said she was in support?

00:47:55.320 No, I'm asking you if the president believes that the vice president was in full support

00:48:00.800 of his decision to pull out.

00:48:01.640 I believe, and as you have seen them in the past three and a half years, they've been

00:48:06.100 partners, critical partners.

00:48:08.180 It doesn't matter if it's domestic issues, also foreign policy issues.

00:48:12.400 And that has been the case from day one and continues to be the case.

00:48:17.080 There you have it.

00:48:18.440 I think that was a confirmation.

00:48:20.960 By the way, it wasn't withdrawing our troops that was a mistake.

00:48:24.000 It was the manner in which they were withdrawn.

00:48:27.760 Donald Trump brought tens of thousands of our troops home from the Middle East without

00:48:32.560 incident, without the countries they were leaving collapsing into the hands of the enemy

00:48:37.900 after they left.

00:48:39.940 The American taxpayers have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on sophisticated drone

00:48:45.520 technology, which has been used throughout the Middle East to pin down the radicals, pin

00:48:52.720 down the extremists, pin down our enemies, and in this case should have been used to cover

00:48:58.820 the retreat and withdrawal of our men and women.

00:49:02.600 Instead, 13 Americans died.

00:49:06.060 All use of drones in the region ended the day after Joe Biden was sworn in.

00:49:13.760 It's kind of like the border, where they repealed all of Donald Trump's executive orders, which

00:49:21.420 had really dropped illegal crossings of the southern border to a virtual trickle.

00:49:29.200 When Joe Biden says illegal crossings are lower today than they were any time during the Trump

00:49:36.960 administration, that is, of course, yet another one of his massive lies.

00:49:42.080 This guy, he still can't help himself.

00:49:44.780 Troy, I've got to ask you, I'm sure you saw the interview over the weekend where the kind

00:49:51.240 of appeared to be a pretty pissed off Joe Biden said, look, the polls showed it was a neck

00:49:59.960 and neck race.

00:50:01.100 It would have been down to the wire.

00:50:02.680 I think I could have won it, but some in my own party, speaking, I think, of Nancy Pelosi

00:50:10.860 and Chuck Schumer, believed that I would hurt Democrats down ballot.

00:50:17.640 I'm not quoting him exactly, but pretty closely.

00:50:20.800 And I was essentially forced out.

00:50:24.240 Joe Biden does not seem to be a very happy man right now.

00:50:28.160 He's a stubborn man.

00:50:29.340 He's a proud man, wanted to stay into this race. 1.00

00:50:32.840 And then this is followed by an interview with Nancy Pelosi, who seems inebriated to me, and

00:50:42.080 therefore, in veto veritas, in vino veritas, people tell the truth when they're drunk.

00:50:48.100 She basically says, yeah, I never had a high regard for Joe's political team.

00:50:55.500 And we forced him out.

00:50:58.760 This is extraordinary.

00:51:02.020 In the meantime, if anybody had been watching the Stone Zone for the last two weeks, they

00:51:09.360 would know that Barack Obama is now in control of the Kamala Harris campaign, that he moved

00:51:17.560 his three top political people in David Plouffe, I think is how you say his name.

00:51:23.880 Stephanie Cutter, and Michael Stewart, into Kamala's campaign, essentially to take charge.

00:51:33.160 And this entire Kamala Harris psyop that we're being subjected to is largely being directed,

00:51:43.100 I think, by them.

00:51:44.800 Now, why do I call it a psyop?

00:51:46.480 Well, first of all, the poll figures you've seen, virtually every poll that shows her either

00:51:52.660 surging or pulling ahead of Donald Trump, if you will merely look at the crosstabs and

00:51:57.920 study them, you'll see that they have purposely oversampled Democrats to give Kamala Harris an 0.70

00:52:05.100 artificial lead.

00:52:06.400 I speak specifically of the New York Times, a Siena college poll, which got huge coverage

00:52:13.040 yesterday, but I think is a fugazi.

00:52:16.560 The use of AI to make it look like she's drawing enormous crowds.

00:52:23.880 I think it's funny, actually.

00:52:26.580 What's really funny is that they object to our pointing it out.

00:52:30.260 Really strange.

00:52:31.340 Lastly, when is she doing a press conference? 0.93

00:52:36.680 When is she going to have a serious one-on-one interview?

00:52:40.160 Why doesn't she go on with Elon Musk? 0.98

00:52:42.460 Elon Musk has invited her.

00:52:44.640 I mean, this is a woman who's trying to tell us that she has the qualifications and the ability 0.64

00:52:49.520 to think to be president of the United States, but she's afraid to go on with Elon Musk.

00:52:55.280 Tells you a lot about her campaign.

00:52:57.380 And then you have the entire finance issue, the Act Blue issue.

00:53:02.500 I know, Troy, that you've been focused on this as an investigative journalist.

00:53:07.540 We saw this pattern in 2022, where U.S. Senate candidates like Val Demings in Florida and

00:53:18.600 Raphael Warnock in Georgia and the odious Adam Schiff, Attorney General Letitia James,

00:53:30.080 received millions and millions of contributions, in most cases, small contributions given multiple

00:53:38.600 times, given a large number of times over time.

00:53:43.020 But then when you contact the donor, they either say, well, I gave once and I gave $5, but I

00:53:50.360 haven't given any more and I didn't give to that candidate.

00:53:52.940 Or they say, I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:53:56.460 I'm not interested in politics and I didn't give to anyone.

00:53:59.380 So what I think needs to happen here, Troy, is that all of those suspect donations and donors

00:54:05.400 need to be identified in one place.

00:54:08.300 And yes, a complaint can be filed with the Federal Election Commission, although I doubt

00:54:14.700 very much that we'll get satisfaction there, because, as you know, the commission is divided

00:54:22.140 with three Republicans and three Democrats, and therefore any effort on enforcement gets

00:54:28.280 stalled in a tie vote.

00:54:30.140 But I do think that there's probably a lawsuit there, because there's a clear violation of

00:54:36.060 federal election law.

00:54:37.620 So to recap, the polls are phony, the crowds are phony, the excitement surrounding her candidacy

00:54:46.780 is phony, the money is phony.

00:54:49.900 This is an elaborate psyop.

00:54:52.800 But I actually think last night's Twitter space with Donald Trump and Elon Musk, well, I

00:55:00.420 think it ended this trend.

00:55:03.540 We're now moving into what will be a real election.

00:55:07.620 Well, and Roger, I'll add there, you know, I watch all of these Harris speeches because

00:55:12.120 I have to, you know, we clip these things.

00:55:14.060 And, you know, I find it very interesting because the clipping for me has become very

00:55:18.060 easy.

00:55:18.780 Because you just take the clip, you put it right when Walt stops speaking, when Harris

00:55:23.700 starts speaking.

00:55:24.460 And you really don't have to change it up because it's the exact same speech every place they

00:55:32.360 go.

00:55:32.680 They have, they're bragging now saying, oh, we're doing eight rallies.

00:55:37.320 Guess what?

00:55:38.500 Eight of the exact same speech.

00:55:40.220 I mean, like, exact same speech, word for word.

00:55:43.800 And you watch President Trump.

00:55:46.120 Last night I had the, you know, I clipped the Trump speeches as well, Roger.

00:55:50.060 And last night I had the honor of sitting there watching his latest Montana rally.

00:55:54.300 And I even texted you about it because it was so good.

00:55:56.580 And he's basically freewheeling.

00:55:58.540 I mean, he has a teleprompter to kind of keep him anchored.

00:56:01.180 But he really goes off on a lot of tangents.

00:56:03.600 He talks about a lot of different things.

00:56:05.520 And there's really no comparison.

00:56:07.500 You know, when Harris has these rallies, as you said, it's manufactured.

00:56:10.400 And we know it's manufactured because the crowds are all cheering at her saying the exact same

00:56:14.720 thing.

00:56:15.200 And despite the fact that it's all across the country, you know, it's these, these

00:56:18.340 Democrat, I have to call them actors.

00:56:20.340 They look like actors out there.

00:56:21.900 And if you listen to how they cheer, the Trump crowds actually react to what is being said.

00:56:27.700 They'll boo things.

00:56:28.860 They'll cheer certain things.

00:56:30.200 They'll cheer louder for certain things.

00:56:32.380 The Democrat crowds, Tim Walz says, I used to be a football coach, roaring crowd.

00:56:38.160 I used to be, you know, he lies and he says, I was in war.

00:56:42.100 They cheer.

00:56:42.960 You know, he says, oh, I'm a Democrat.

00:56:45.120 They cheer.

00:56:45.880 He says, oh, I was born 45, you know, I was born 45 minutes afternoon.

00:56:50.760 They cheer.

00:56:51.380 You know, it's just, it's like a robotic reaction.

00:56:54.300 And I don't think that's going to last.

00:56:55.640 Last thing I'll say, Roger, you got to remember the Democrat donors at the behest of Barack Obama

00:57:02.460 paused over a hundred million dollars in donations to the Joe Biden campaign.

00:57:07.420 So when they say, oh, we raised a hundred million dollars, keep in mind, that's a hundred million

00:57:11.780 dollars that was being withheld from Joe Biden's campaign.

00:57:14.620 I don't see anybody talking about that angle of it.

00:57:17.480 All right.

00:57:17.780 Unfortunately, we are out of time.
