00:00:00.000The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:07.320Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.360He is a New York Times best-selling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:16.980As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:22.620and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:27.400Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:33.380And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:41.320Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and yes, you are back in The Stone Zone.
00:00:46.320Yesterday on The Stone Zone, we exclusively interviewed Vem Miller.
00:00:51.620That's the man that the Riverside County, Florida sheriff and USA Today falsely claimed was involved in an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in California.
00:01:08.940First of all, Mr. Miller was in position of two firearms, both of which he possessed legally.
00:01:16.120They were locked in the trunk of his car.
00:01:18.820He had a concealed carry permit in Nevada, where he is from.
00:01:24.120The only violation of law here is that in the case of his handgun, the magazine and the gun were under California law, supposed to be stored separately.
00:01:38.220He did not have expired or fake license plates.
00:03:16.740Yesterday, Kamala Harris said that the choice in this election was between her candidacy and chaos.
00:03:24.600I would argue that they are the candidates of chaos, particularly when it comes to international affairs.
00:03:32.800And today, Colonel John Mills was one of the leading experts on foreign policy and defense policy.
00:03:41.080He has served his country in five different eras, the Cold War, the Peace Dividend, the War on Terror, the War on Chaos, and now, of course, the Great Power Showdown.
00:03:52.240He is deeply involved in the fight to save our republic.
00:06:10.740That's one of the things we, we're borrowed from China, I guess you can say.
00:06:14.180But now there's a three-way development, could just 10 miles up that river, 10 miles up that river is Chinese territory.
00:06:22.780And there's now an agreement for North Korea, China, and Russia to co-develop a naval base up there.
00:06:30.840And that naval base, once complete, would give China a new fleet operating base where they could essentially slip around.
00:06:41.600They go, could go through Russian territory and then out into the deep Pacific or, or through the Alaskan passage to the Arctic, which China claims to be an Arctic power.
00:06:52.900So this is super important, but North Korea's job is essentially to do a furious missile launch on South Korea and Japan.
00:07:01.960That's their part of the No Limits Agreement to take down the American-led world system.
00:07:11.320Kamala has been in power for four years.
00:07:13.380It's only gotten far worse, and yet she wants four more years to fix things that she broke over the last four years by doing nothing or being bought off, corrupt, or incompetent.
00:07:25.360So, ladies and gentlemen, it's September, not of 2024.
00:07:30.520It's September 1939 all over again, and we need Donald J. Trump back in the White House more than ever.
00:07:35.800While we're here, I want to get as much, obviously, as I can.
00:07:43.060The situation between Israel and Iran, increasingly perilous.
00:07:49.180It is a little hard to understand how Iran keeps launching these attacks on Israel, which don't seem to do any serious damage.
00:07:58.140I don't know if that's because of their Iron Dome or whether these are symbolic attacks, but things still there, very dangerous.
00:08:08.260I'm a little surprised that the Israelis have not launched a cyber attack, first of all, on Iran to put them into darkness, take away their electrical systems.
00:08:20.920That would mean no cell phones, no computers, it would seem to me, would plunge the country into chaos.
00:08:28.040Then I would have expected them to hit military targets, followed by taking out their oil fields.
00:08:34.360Now, all of my friends who are ardent Zionists tell me this is coming, but it has not yet come.
00:08:42.120You are an expert on this part of the world as well.
00:08:47.440Well, Israel has established absolute escalation dominance, and as they developed their strategy after October 7th, they realized priority number one is the 3-H club.
00:09:02.280That's the Houthis, that's Hamas in Gaza, that's Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
00:09:43.840Yes, we know that detailed planning began on this right after China, Iran, and the others saw the disastrous Biden abandonment and fleeing from Afghanistan.
00:09:57.520They said, well, obviously, the Americans don't care and have no appetite to actually assert their agenda.
00:10:33.520I think at this point in time, the Iranians are concerned and nervous about regime removal.
00:10:40.080The Israelis have shown absolute escalation dominance.
00:10:44.260The supply chain attack on Hezbollah devastated their leadership, the most brilliant supply chain operation in history.
00:10:52.600And when you talk about cyber, I caught it during the April volley of missiles that was essentially 350 to zero, 350 launched, 350 shot down, essentially.
00:11:08.340What was not little known was unidentified source in the White House, which usually means Jake Sullivan, said that as many missiles did not even get off the launch pad.
00:11:22.460Now, being a trained national security professional, I knew that was code word and code talk for we reached in via cyber methods, we being the five eyes, we being Israel, and essentially turned the wrong valves at the wrong time.
00:11:36.920A lot of those ballistic missiles were liquid oxygen propelled and fueled, which is a very dangerous and scientific fueling process that if somebody turns the wrong valve at the wrong time, it's catastrophic.
00:11:52.880And I think we were probably noodling is what that unidentified national security person was referencing, was cyber attack reaching in, turning the wrong valves at the wrong time.
00:12:06.100It was an absolute disaster for Iran, but also Iran has been pummeled time and again.
00:12:11.980They just tried another missile launch, didn't work out well.
00:12:15.420The only thing that does is that depletes our missile stock of what we need for the Western Pacific.
00:12:21.600But I think Iran is very concerned that, you know, they got Hania, the Hamas leader in downtown Tehran.
00:12:31.260The Iranian has been shown Israel will reach in again and again and again to punish.
00:12:40.960And I think they're beginning to get very concerned about the viability of the regime.
00:12:45.700That doesn't mean Israeli or American troops didn't have to invade.
00:12:48.660The people are extremely unhappy with the mullahs, the president and the IRGC.
00:12:54.900If they got support, they would take care of business themselves.
00:12:59.820So you're telling us there's actually potentially an uprising by the Iranian people?
00:13:09.660Even during the Bush administration, there was at least twice where if Bush had just said, made statements of support, it would have been remarkably different outcome.
00:13:20.640Instead, the students, the citizens started rising up and we did nothing.
00:16:28.600Colonel Mills, the American intelligence services have made a very strong case publicly that Iran has plans to assassinate President Donald Trump.
00:16:44.440They recently indicted several Iranians who are not in the country, I believe, charging them with cybercrimes
00:16:53.400in connection with efforts to infiltrate both the Harris and the Trump campaigns.
00:17:02.600This obviously, while it does have a certain logic, I mean, President Donald Trump put in place the harsh sanctions,
00:17:10.520which had driven Iran to the brink of bankruptcy.
00:17:14.060The sanctions were so harsh, not even the Chinese would buy oil from the Iranians.
00:17:21.880And of course, once Joe Biden became president, those sanctions were canceled.
00:17:26.620This is Obama's grand vision, by the way.
00:17:29.520They unfroze billions of dollars in assets, more than $190 billion, which, of course, the Iranians
00:17:38.720have used to fund their nuclear weapons destruction or nuclear weapons development program and to
00:17:47.200finance Hamas, Ouzbala, these attacks on Israel.
00:17:50.720How close do you think, first of all, the Iranians are to having a nuclear, a tactical, usable nuclear weapon?
00:18:01.120I would say at this point in time, everybody, for almost 30 years, we've been saying Iran is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon.
00:25:53.360I have to tell you, Colonel, you're among our most popular guests whenever we have you on.
00:25:58.120Big jump in our viewership, because you bring years and years of experience and wisdom on national defense and national security and international policy.
00:26:09.720We're grateful to have you jump in today.
00:26:11.900Many thanks for joining us in the Stone Zone.
00:26:19.460All right, we're going to go to a quick commercial break, and then we'll be back to talk politics.
00:26:25.480Folks, we just went through a hurricane in Florida, and although I'm thanking the Lord that we in South Florida essentially escaped the devastation that others in North Florida and Georgia and North Carolina and Virginia and Tennessee suffered,
00:26:44.940did make me think yet again about the vulnerability of my cell phone.
00:26:50.960The cell phone towers are extremely vulnerable to adverse weather, as well as hackers and terrorists.
00:26:58.500That's why I went out and got the Iridium 9555 phone, which operates off the Iridium proprietary satellite network.
00:27:22.260Remember 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?
00:27:34.040You see, cellular networks are particularly vulnerable, big targets for hackers and terrorists, as well as vulnerable to hurricanes and other natural disasters.
00:27:43.140So if your cell phone goes down, how will you communicate?
00:27:48.500That's why I got the Iridium 9555 satellite phone and service.
00:27:54.380I'm using the proprietary Iridium satellite service.
00:27:57.860Cell networks only cover about 7% of the Earth, while the Iridium system covers 100% of the Earth.
00:28:05.640You can call or text from any place you can see the sky.
00:28:09.380These are trusted by U.S. military and government officials everywhere.
00:28:12.940All calls are encrypted, safe and secure.
00:31:32.560They understand the process starts with a person self-identifying as a non-citizen.
00:31:38.260And then there is a match with that person's name on the voter rolls.
00:31:42.360And they are given not just one, but up to three times in order to try to cure it.
00:31:48.280And this is why I find this to be a very, very unreal moment that is stunning that they filed this suit 25 days before a presidential election,
00:31:57.920when in fact this has been going on in accordance with our constitution, the federal constitution and state law since 2006.
00:32:04.940They seem to be fighting about this across the country.
00:32:10.600They seem intent on making sure that illegals are allowed to vote.
00:32:15.160By the way, I thought Governor Youngkin did a great job of putting fake Tapper in his place there.
00:35:45.020Always accuse your opponents and enemies of that which you yourself are doing.
00:35:51.140For four years, Joe Biden would not release his medical records.
00:35:54.900And more importantly, he would not take a cognitive test.
00:35:58.420So while Kamala Harris may be healthy, unfortunately, these tests can't test intelligence, which she seems to have none of whatsoever.
00:36:09.860It's a fake issue, but that's because they're out of issues.
00:36:13.260They can't run on the robust nature of our current economy because the economy is not strong.
00:36:20.840They can't run on their new job numbers because, as the economic housing and mortgage expert Barry Habib told us on my 77 WABC radio show last Sunday,
00:36:34.960these latest jobs numbers are just as fake as the last job numbers they submitted.
00:36:41.920They certainly can't run on the stability of affairs around the world.
00:36:47.900We're on the verge of World War III, and now it appears three different theaters.
00:36:54.780So these are personal attacks on Trump.
00:36:57.560Trump is not the slightest bit forgetful.
00:37:00.660In fact, he's obviously keeping a much, much heavier campaign schedule than Kamala Harris, who can't answer simple questions.
00:37:10.860Those are cheap shots from people who know they're on the verge of losing.
00:37:40.200We've never seen a more public deterioration than that.
00:37:45.020And they all said, Roger, remember, they said, Eric Swalwell said on the Capitol steps that Biden puts the Democrats to shame in the meetings behind closed doors.
00:37:54.540And Kamala Harris says they can't believe this guy is like the Energizer button behind closed doors.
00:37:59.140And remember, the H.E.R. report where they did the interview.
00:38:03.220Biden goes out after the H.E.R. report, which clearly states that he's got mental problems, and he touts it as a total vindication.
00:38:11.540He dresses down Peter Doocy on national television and then accuses the H.E.R. people, the H.E.R. investigators, of bringing up his dead son.
00:38:21.240And then we find out that he didn't even bring up – the investigators didn't bring up the dead son.
00:38:25.800Biden brought up the dead son because he brings him up every time.
00:38:28.980And the fight, Roger, has been since then, as far as I know, the tapes still haven't been released, of Biden's interview with the H.E.R. report.
00:38:36.640This is desperation, and I think it serves on a second level to get the focus away from Joe Biden, away from the Democrats, away from their failures and who they stuck in the White House right now.
00:38:49.260The guy who made your gas, $7 a gallon, and his accomplice, the woman who's running in his place, who, by the way, they put at the top of the ticket without getting one single vote.
00:39:02.080We have a clip from Kamala Harris recently talking to some media.
00:39:06.600She's getting more desperate, as I think this indicates.
00:39:09.800She's doing more interviews now because she literally doesn't have a choice because she's tanking in the polls and the sugar high of her entrance into the race.
00:39:19.080She's just a couple months before the election is wearing off.
00:39:22.780This latest attack she's waging is on Donald Trump, and it's the calling card of the left.
00:39:32.020They're saying Donald Trump refused to rent to black families, even though he's been friends with Rosa Parks, even though he's been, you know, you see pictures of him with all these black leaders, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, whoever.
00:39:45.940So let's roll that clip of Vice President Kamala Harris and get Roger's thoughts on them digging this racist thing back up after seemingly a few years of putting it to bed.
00:39:55.920It is pointing out that there are two very different visions for our nation that are being presented to voters right now.
00:40:04.820On the one side, you've got Donald Trump, who wants to take us backward.
00:40:10.040Donald Trump, who let's not forget, when he was renting his apartments and his property, refused to rent to black families.
00:40:20.420Donald Trump, who, as it relates to five young black men, they were actually teenagers and Latinos.
00:40:30.640The Central Park Five, he took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for their execution.
00:40:37.940Donald Trump, who referred to the first black president and suggested, remember the birtherism lies, that he couldn't have been born in the United States.
00:40:45.420Donald Trump, who, in his Project 2025, you know that the various things that would happen would include allowing it or making it easier for companies to not give workers overtime pay.
00:40:58.860Capping, we capped the cost of prescription medication at $2,000 a year for seniors and capped the cost of insulin at $35 for our seniors.
00:41:17.320So part of the reason that I am out here talking with folks, listening to folks, is to make sure that I am communicating and letting them know about the real contrast that is being presented.
00:41:30.020Because my bottom line is this, I know the power that people have to make a difference, and I respect that power, and I am out here doing the work of earning then the vote so that we can get to the job of continuing to move forward.
00:41:55.480And for me, that is about pushing for an opportunity economy, which is about tapping into the ambitions and the aspirations of folks and doing the work of investing in community, investing in industries, strengthening our economy, and giving people dignity in the process.
00:42:14.040You know, this whole question is an absurdity is Kamala Harris, I will remind you, who joked about smoking marijuana in college while listening to Biggie and Tupac.
00:42:30.800Of course, then when we checked, Biggie and Tupac were unknown at that point and never recorded anything.
00:42:39.040But it was also Kamala Harris who went on as a district attorney to prosecute thousands of African Americans for the first time nonviolent crime of possession of small amounts of drugs.
00:42:56.020And in some cases, left those people in prison beyond the term of their incarceration as ordered by the courts so she could have the state use them for free labor.
00:43:07.920If you want to hear a real story of racism, let's take a look at this short documentary, it's only about three minutes, of what she did to a black woman named Sheree Peoples.
00:43:22.000So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.
00:43:28.060She had me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped daughter was sick in the hospital.
00:43:34.960Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, I have a story to tell.
00:43:39.240Why you lock Sheree up, get through her in a cell.
00:43:43.000Her daughter has anemia, some call the sickle cell.
