On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Abigail, were standing on a rooftop in Dallas, Texas when they were shot to death by a sniper who fired into their own home. On the morning of November 25th, President Donald Trump was on his way to board a helicopter when a gunman opened fire and fired into the presidential helicopter carrying him to an awaiting limousine. The resulting volley of bullets that killed the president, his driver, and the other three passengers aboard the helicopter, including his wife and daughter, is widely believed to be the work of Lee Harvey Oswald, a former member of the Secret Service sniper team tasked with protecting the president. But what exactly happened that day? And why was it so close to the president and his motorcade? On this special live edition of The Stone Zone, host Roger Stone and co-host Troy Smith discuss the possibility that the shooting may have been an assassination, not an act of random violence, but a deliberate act of political revenge. by the President s own Secret Service agents. Roger Stone, Troy Smith, and Colonel Rob Maness discuss the possible cover-up by the FBI, the CIA, and other law enforcement agencies involved in the Kennedy assassination, and whether this was an accident or an intentional act of sabotage, or was there something more to it than what was actually going on at the scene of the shooting at all. the night of the assassination? and whether it could have been preventable. . The Stone, Smith, Maness, and Col. Robert Maness and Colonel Maness join me in this special edition of the Stone Zone the Ringer on this live on Rumble to discuss the events that took place on that fateful day in Dallas on that day, the day after the day of November 22nd, 1963. and what happened the day that changed the course of history, and why we should have been so much more than we thought we would ever get to the bottom of it in the first place a day that will forever change the way we remember the day. The day that was JFK s life or not that day as a day in American politics what we remember how we all of us remember it . and why it matters why it mattered , and who really matters and how we remember it and who matters.
00:00:30.000Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:34.900Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:38.940He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:44.580As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:50.200and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:54.980Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:01:00.940And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:01:03.980Welcome. I'm Roger Stone, and this is a very special live edition of the Stone Zone here on Rumble.
00:01:16.380Please download the Rumble app to your phone and set your notifications so you know when the Stone Zone is on every day at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
00:01:27.080Well, an assassination attempt has roiled the American presidential contest.
00:01:34.280First and foremost, thank God Almighty, that but for a millisecond of an inch, a millimeter of an inch,
00:01:42.620Donald Trump emerges in fine spirits and, other than being grazed in the ear, is alive and well and defiant as always.
00:01:54.120Thank you, Jesus. I believe that his life has been spared for a broader purpose.
00:02:00.320God has a plan for him as he has a plan for this nation.
00:02:06.340And then, of course, we have the immediate questions in the aftermath about how this could have happened,
00:02:13.720who the shooter is, what the shooter's motivation is, what did law enforcement know about this clear and present danger?
00:02:22.460Did they fail to act? There are a lot of questions here, more questions than answers.
00:02:28.820But to help me in breaking this down for this special live edition of the Stone Zone is my co-host, Troy Smith,
00:02:38.480who is the editor-in-chief of Slingshot.News.
00:04:34.200I'm honored to get to come on the show and have this opportunity to talk to you and, Troy, about this issue.
00:04:40.560You know, as we've discussed yesterday, things just don't seem quite right with this entire setup.
00:04:48.940And, you know, the protective service detail circle around the body itself, the president of the United States, 45, and future 47, in this case,
00:05:00.380appeared to do what they were supposed to do for the most part as far as covering him and those kind of things.
00:05:07.040But then they were very slow to get him to the vehicle.
00:05:09.860They really shouldn't have let him raise his head to speak and put himself into the line of fire again.
00:05:52.100And then we've seen some other news break today that a local police officer actually got up on the roof.
00:05:59.560The shooter pointed his rifle at him and he retreated.
00:06:03.920And still, even though there had to be communications with the counter sniper team on top of the building behind the president that you see in the videos,
00:06:14.440the sniper team still took about 40 seconds allowing this guy to get what I believe is five shots off,
00:06:22.620and then they returned fire with three and killed him.
00:06:24.700I remember from my research into the Kennedy assassination that the Secret Service manual specifically requires that any tall buildings
00:06:34.620in the vicinity of a presidential appearance or visit have to be searched and sealed.
00:06:41.300How is it possible that this, as I understand the only substantial high-level building close to the location of the rallies,
00:09:13.660I was in the Pentagon on 9-11, helped plan the response after we identified who the perpetrators were there.
00:09:20.980Went back to fly in the B-1, took command of a squadron, took them over to war.
00:09:25.120And then somehow got promoted to full colonel, and they sent me to war college and then into the airborne intelligence business at Offit Air Force Base.
00:09:33.920And then back to nuclear weapons in Louisiana, the Stand-Up Global Strike Command, and eventually ended my career as the commander of Kirtland Air Force Base in 2011.
00:11:01.000And then the second part, the effect that it's going to happen.
00:11:03.680And look, you know, in my last job as commander of Kirtland, I was the commander of the base there.
00:11:09.120And we did protection for the president of the United States and the vice president on two different occasions.
00:11:13.480And my sniper teams had the highest elevation ground that was available to them.
00:11:18.800We had individuals on all the roofs that were within line of sight fire of the president of the United States when he was there and the vice president, too.
00:11:27.740And I would never have allowed any roof to be occupied or building to be occupied by unknown persons at all that was in line of sight of the president of the United States.
00:11:39.360That's just the way the process works.
00:11:42.780And in this case, the Secret Service would have done the site assessment and they should have covered all of those rooftops, including having the high ground, whatever was structure was higher than what this roof was.
00:11:56.320And I believe there might have been a water tower close by there.
00:11:59.380And there should have been people up on that water tower doing visual observation.
00:12:04.440And one of my questions is about technology.
00:12:07.280Why aren't they using drone technology?
00:12:12.140And if they are, if they did use it, why did it fail in this case?
00:12:15.860And if they didn't use it, they need to get it because that would have also helped solve this problem a lot quicker than that.
00:12:22.960And would have prevented this gentleman from being murdered and the other two victims being wounded and not counting the president of the United States.
00:12:31.000And as far as the impact, I don't know what President Trump will do, but early indications are, since he's coming out here to Milwaukee tonight on schedule instead of delaying two days, that he's not going to allow too much change to the way he presents his message to the American people.
00:12:50.640And these rallies are his calling card for that methodology, and he's been very successful at it.
00:12:58.040So I seriously doubt that he will allow any security measures to be taken that are going to impact that in any large way.
00:13:23.140Everybody that came got cleared through it.
00:13:25.080There were tens of thousands of people there, and they do that at every single rally anyway.
00:13:30.400But the issue here was high ground at the perimeter within line of sight of the president of the United States, the body at the podium, so to speak, is the way it would be put in security terms.
00:13:42.260And that should have never been allowed to happen.
00:13:44.420Dan, you don't have to take my word for it.
00:13:46.340Dan Bongino's got a great little video clip off of Fox where he calls for a resignation of the director of the Secret Service immediately.
00:14:41.720I'm not a facial recognition expert, but looking at that horrific picture on the Internet of the dead shooter and the picture of the live Mr. Yerick, they do look similarly eerie.
00:14:55.640Can we trust the Secret Service here to investigate themselves and to just sell us conclusions that we're really not certain about?
00:15:05.020You know, Roger, if you had asked me that question 10 years ago, I would have said yes, absolutely.
00:15:13.700But after what we've experienced, especially since President Trump came down the escalator in 2015 with the unethical behavior and unlawful behavior of actors in the United States government in large numbers, larger numbers than I would have ever guessed we would ever see.
00:15:31.580I don't think you could trust the Secret Service to investigate themselves, and I know the investigation is going to be turned over if it hasn't already to the FBI, and I honestly don't think we can trust the FBI to conduct a thorough and fair and adequate investigation because the principle that's involved is President Donald J. Trump.
00:15:51.140The entire Department of Justice, the entire FBI, the intelligence services, has been arrayed in opposition to this man's service to this country for many, many years now, and I think it might have begun the opposition to Americans, as far as his supporters go, began way back in at least the Obama administration when those tools of government started getting turned on us,
00:16:19.000the people that believe in the Constitution and the freedoms and the Constitution and the freedoms and the Declaration of Independence and want them to remain.
00:16:26.340And so I don't think that we can really trust any government institution that's in an investigatory body, investigatory body at this point in the process.
00:16:37.700You know, even after the investigation is completed on this, when the president wins the presidency and his appointees are in place, they should reopen any of all of these investigations
00:16:47.400and give a thorough relook at every one of them so that we get the facts as to what happened because, like you, there had to be some kind of inside help for this guy to be able to get up on that roof under these circumstances
00:17:03.520and get that close to Donald Trump and take a shot, take five shots at him and kill these people.
00:17:14.100The lapses here, I think, are extraordinary, but they completely royal the presidential race.
00:17:21.620I thought we would spend today talking about the subterranean effort by Barack Obama to submarine his successor, Joe Biden,
00:17:29.580as he maneuvers behind the scenes to cut off money to Joe, to get other party leaders to appeal to Joe to drop.
00:17:38.420But now that all gets put aside by these extraordinary events.
00:17:45.820The real question, I guess, is the only investigative body that might actually objectively investigate wherever the trail goes, of course, are the House Republicans.
00:18:15.980Well, Roger, I just wanted to ask you a real quick question about the Secret Service in particular,
00:18:20.280because we saw Joe Biden deny, President Joe Biden denied Robert F. Kennedy's Secret Service protection.
00:18:26.820And we talked about it here on the show, I think, in the eyes of many people.
00:18:29.860That was a direct politicization of the Secret Service.
00:18:34.200And I'm interested to ask you, you know, do you think the Biden politicization of this Secret Service agency played a role here in creating this fatal flaw in protection?
00:18:44.640Well, we have, first of all, Troy, we have conflicting reports.
00:18:50.760So I've heard from numerous sources that we allowed, that there were numerous requests from Trump's detail for additional personnel and funding, but that those were denied.
00:19:07.760The Secret Service put out a formal statement saying that's untrue.
00:19:11.420I heard it back in June when Trump visited the Turning Point USA event.
00:19:17.780I was told by a veteran agent off the record that they had asked for more personnel and more assistance, and it had been ignored.
00:19:25.500So I think that that is going to be one of the very legitimate questions.
00:19:30.620You cannot defend the decision by the Department of Homeland Security not to afford Secret Service protection to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:19:41.180He is a legal candidate for president, filed with the Federal Election Commission.
00:19:45.580The president has unilateral authority to order it, by the way, but it's already required.
00:19:51.680He has applied for it, but with the tragic history of the murders of both his father and his uncle, John and Robert Kennedy, this is petty politics.
00:20:01.260The Biden administration either thinks that giving RFK Secret Service protection will connote an air of legitimacy to his candidacy, or they know that if they don't pay for it, that RFK must pay for his own protection, which is millions and millions of dollars out of his war chest.
00:20:19.760Now, I'm not for Robert Kennedy, I'm for Donald Trump, but good God, the act under which he is eligible was enacted after his father was murdered in the kitchen of an L.A. hotel the night he won the California Democrat presidential primary in California.
00:20:40.600So, uh, they, we have to assume that politics is being played here.
00:20:51.560You know, the Federalist reported within an hour of, uh, of the assassination attempt last night that, uh, sources from inside the Trump security detail had already told them they had made multiple requests for increases in resources to the Department of Homeland Security and had major non-responses, uh, on each request at this point.
00:21:13.000So, you know, and Mr. Kennedy, uh, being the honorable man that he is, and I'm for Donald J. Trump too, I'm not for Robert Kennedy Jr., but for goodness sake, you know, in his interviews that he's been doing, he's talked about Mr. Trump, uh, and his family, uh, and wanting them protected at the same level that the president of the United States is protected, uh, and not make it even about, uh, RFK Jr.
00:21:37.000But, of course, RFK Jr. should have protection.
00:21:39.780He's received multiple number and high numbers of threats to he and his family, and it's pure politics being played by Biden on both the RFK Jr. side and the Trump side, because either way, they want to put Trump at risk.
00:21:54.460And, and, and it's obvious, even the president of the United States said last week that it's time to put him in the bull, put Trump in the bullseye, and they don't want to give RFK Jr.'s campaign the credibility that might further hurt Joe Biden's campaign.
00:22:29.720All right, Troy, uh, so now I think it's time to examine, uh, why we've come to this moment.
00:22:35.200I think it is because, uh, Barack Obama, uh, the entire Democrat machinery, Hillary Clinton, but above all, Joe Biden and his campaign have vilified Donald Trump as a racist, sexist, uh, neo-fascist, uh, dictator.
00:22:52.880The overheated rhetoric of Joe Biden saying it's time to put Trump in the bullseye, uh, First Lady Jill Biden calling Trump evil, uh, the, uh, who can forget, uh, the, uh, one of the honchos of the Lincoln Project, Rick Wilson, saying that they have to put a bullet in Trump.
00:23:13.360Uh, this is, uh, over-the-top rhetoric that I think has created this entire, uh, atmosphere, uh, the use of hateful, vitriolic, hyperbolic, overheated, uh, rhetoric, uh, in which they demean not just the president, but they demean his supporters, uh, deplorables, as Hillary called us.
00:23:34.700Uh, give us a little video review, if you will.
00:23:36.880Well, Roger, we have, uh, we have a clip.
00:23:40.160I want to, I want them to play these back-to-back.
00:23:42.140We have a clip of MSNBC hosts, uh, calling Trump Hitler over and over and over again.
00:23:48.200And you have to realize, folks, uh, they knew that Trump wasn't Hitler.
00:23:51.640They were simply doing this to incite people like this person who almost ended the life of former President Donald Trump yesterday.
00:23:58.820So, let's roll the MSNBC calling him Hitler over and over again, and then let's roll the Democrat members of Congress, uh, saying that they want to punch Trump in the face and they want to fight Trump, uh, really stoking the violence that we saw break out, uh, at the Pennsylvania Trump rally just yesterday.
00:24:15.160Let's roll those clips and get Roger's thoughts on the other side.
00:24:18.520Of course, it's Trump is a Nazi time again.
00:27:49.820First, they tried to bankrupt Donald Trump through fraudulent processes.
00:27:54.320Then they tried to incarcerate him by fabricating crimes.
00:28:00.600They are deeply disappointed that he's won his due process rights and things were decided fairly in the U.S. Supreme Court regarding presidential immunity.
00:28:10.860The truth is they tried to expedite a railroad, yet they complained about delays by Donald Trump and his legal team.
00:28:17.780There's no question that the overheated rhetoric of the left, the constant attacks on Trump and those who support him.
00:28:27.880As you know, only weeks ago, I was illegally recorded in a video at Mar-a-Lago in which I said absolutely nothing wrong.
00:28:37.340I said that Republicans should use every legal and technical tool available to them to ensure that the 2024 election is honest.
00:30:16.080Well, and Roger, on top of that, you know, just as somebody who's been a follower of President Trump since he first announced in 2015, you know, I felt a lot yesterday, like I did on January 7th after Ashley Babbitt had been shot and killed.
00:30:33.360And I think I speak for most people who support President Trump.
00:30:36.660When we said that day, you looked at that woman, you said, wow, that could have been any of the supporters of President Trump.
00:30:41.960And you look yesterday at the father, the heroic father who was killed in this gunfire.
00:30:49.240I think a lot of Trump supporters look at that and they say, well, that could have been any of us.
00:30:53.640As you see there, he's been identified and he was shielding his daughter from gunfire at this rally, Roger.
00:31:00.880And I think, you know, it's so tough for those of us who believe in the Make America Great Again movement, because on the left, when somebody like George Floyd, a fentanyl addict, is, you know, he dies, it's turned into a martyr.
00:31:17.060Or they have, you know, a funeral with a gold casket.
00:31:20.980Yet when people like Ashley Babbitt or this Trump supporter or President Trump are fired at, it's almost like the mainstream media laughs at us and they run headlines.
00:31:32.840They ran them all day yesterday talking about how, oh, Trump fell on stage.
00:31:38.300The Secret Service had an incident at a Trump rally.
00:31:41.100No, former President Donald Trump was shot at his rally and it took President Barack Obama, because I followed this very closely, Roger.
00:31:50.880It took President Barack Obama issuing a statement wishing basically President Trump well for the mainstream media to even admit that he was shot at.
00:32:00.540So we go through this entire period, the former president, the Republican candidate for President of the United States in an election year was shot on stage, Roger, and the mainstream media worked to cover it up.
00:32:13.520And while people on the left get celebrated, even drug addicts and criminals, they get celebrated.
00:32:18.680Good people like this gentleman that lost his life yesterday, where Ashley Babbitt, who served her country, they are spit on by the mainstream media.
00:32:28.600I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the media coverage of this event yesterday, because truth be told, Roger, the editors at ABC, NBC, CBS, all these mainstream outlets should, in my opinion, never work again after what I saw yesterday.
00:32:42.380It is absolutely unbelievable that there are people racking up huge numbers on social media by claiming that this event was staged.
00:32:53.480Let me point out that Trump, in that iconic moment, which he struggles free to give the fight signal, he's risking his life yet again.
00:33:00.880He doesn't know whether they're still an active shooter or shooters.
00:33:04.360So this is, I think, personifies the entire America First movement and the resilience, the persistence, the determination, and now the physical courage of Donald Trump.
00:33:16.980I also think that he will be much, much harder to beat now, and the Democrats have to drop back and regroup.
00:33:23.180We're in the midst of a push in which Barack Obama is seeking to push Joe Biden out of power because they know they can't get through a free, fair, honest election.
00:33:35.360They've now, I believe, played the assassination option, something I've talked openly about on this show and with Tucker Carlson and also with Alex Jones, praying against it, not predicting it, not wishing it into being, but praying against it because I understand how depraved those who oppose Donald Trump really are.
00:33:57.300Well, and Roger, you want to talk about depraved.
00:34:01.260I want to get your reaction to a clip of possibly one of the most odious members of Congress, Congressman Dan Goldman, who we pulled a clip today, and I want you to comment on this one specifically.
00:34:12.400It was not included in that compilation where he, on Jen Psaki's show in the past, has called for Trump to be eliminated.
00:34:20.040This is a guy that peddles the Russian collusion hoax.
00:34:23.100This is a guy who has politically hated Donald Trump's entire life.
00:34:27.460He calls for Trump to be eliminated, and then we see this guy take a shot at the president.
00:34:31.660Let's roll that clip, get Roger's thoughts on the other side.
00:34:34.420It's just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again.
00:34:41.800He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.
00:35:13.940Well, and I think that's the question, Roger.
00:35:17.580We have all these things being said about former President Trump that, one, aren't true, and, two, are being said strictly because of some kind of political motivation by those in the media and those in politics.
00:35:29.780And, you know, this was on – this was the first – we saw this at the debate just the other night, Roger.
00:35:36.020I want to play that clip for you and get your comment on this as well because on the debate stage, the national debate stage, which will go down one of the most viewed debates in the history of the country,
00:35:46.600President Joe Biden directly lied about President Trump saying that he claimed that Hitler did some good things.
00:35:52.880We just played all the mainstream media echoing the false Hitler talking point.
00:35:57.980So let's roll President Joe Biden on the debate, kind of telegraphing what was going to happen in the coming weeks by comparing Trump once again to Adolf Hitler on a national stage with absolutely no evidence to back it up.
00:36:11.700He said I wasn't going to run again until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.
00:36:15.480People coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torches, torches, and singing the same anti-Semitic bile they sang when – back in Germany.
00:36:26.280And what did – and the young woman got killed.
00:36:29.340And she – they asked him, they said, what – what do you think of those people, the people who – the ones who got killed, the ones who tried to stop it, and the ones he said, I think they're fine people on both sides.
00:36:39.320What American president would ever say, Nazis coming out of fields carrying torches, singing the same anti-Semitic bile, carrying swastikas, were fine people.
00:36:51.960This is the guy who says Hitler's done some good things.
00:37:02.600Jake, both of you know that, sir, has been totally wiped out because when you see the sentence itself,
00:37:09.320this is incredible, but it's interesting that the Democrat Party, while they may be split over who should be their presidential nominee,
00:37:17.720with Obama now actively trying to undermine Joe Biden, Biden, whose son, Hunter Biden, now basically his gatekeeper and chief political advisor,
00:37:27.880propped up by, of course, First Lady Jill Biden, who's kind of like Edith Galt Wilson, the First Lady to Woodrow Wilson.
00:37:35.420She's really de facto the president of the United States, Biden reportedly sleeping as many as 16 hours a day,
00:37:43.520Hunter allowing few, Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, a handful of others to see and communicate with Joe.
00:37:51.580Obama actively cutting off the Hollywood money, cutting off millions of dollars,
00:37:57.400trying to get Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who publicly support Joe but privately are shitting their pants
00:38:07.920because their polling shows that districts that were heretofore thought to be safe are now suddenly competitive.
00:38:15.340In states like New Mexico, Virginia, New Jersey, and Maine, all potentially within Trump's grasp,
00:38:25.080there is panic in the Democrat Party going on at the same time.
00:38:30.900If anything, that situation will be exacerbated by this failed assassination attempt on Trump.
00:38:38.060Well, and Roger, that's my next question to you, because we saw with the mugshot that boosted Trump's polling,
00:38:44.560and he received a lot of donations on that when Judge Wanmer-Chan, I think wrongfully in a lot of people's eyes,
00:38:50.900did what he did and said that Trump was guilty, playing games with the jury and playing really a political hit job.
00:38:58.220His polling went up, his numbers went up.
00:39:00.560What kind of electoral effect do you think that this incident will have?
00:39:04.480Because I see prominent Democrats jumping on this opportunity and attempting to hit Trump over Project 2025,
00:39:28.400They have tried this Agenda 2025 initiative, trying to blame Trump for a document and recommendations which are not his, which he has not authorized.
00:39:39.480Certainly true that people who support him, maybe some people who have worked for him, worked on that manifesto, that's fine, but that's theirs.
00:39:46.220That belongs to the Heritage Foundation.
00:39:48.860Trump has made very clear that his views are reflected in the Republican national platform that was adopted in Milwaukee by the Platform Committee,
00:39:57.320and which will be approved by the full convention in Milwaukee next week.
00:40:02.200So this has been a giant okey-doke by the Democrats.
00:40:07.200This, evidently, the Heritage Report recommends means testing for Social Security, perhaps even delaying the age before you can receive your benefits.
00:40:16.640No, that is not Donald Trump's position.
00:40:18.800Joe Biden keeps saying Trump will cut your Social Security when Trump has never, ever said anything of the kind.
00:40:24.280In fact, he's said the exact opposite, perfect example.
00:40:28.700But I would say their whole expensive, well-funded effort to tie Donald Trump to Agenda 2025, which requires people to go look it up and read about it, is a falsehood and an exaggeration.
00:40:43.480I think that has all now been blunted by this attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
00:40:49.260And the American people, our hearts bleed.
00:40:52.600First, for Corey Comparatore, I believe I have that right, the veteran fireman who was shot in the head and killed, shielding his daughter.
00:41:02.560I also read a great piece in the Gateway Pundit about a local mayor who shielded his pregnant wife.
00:41:09.140I mean, stories of heroism here, normally in these situations, people stampede, no one left.
00:41:18.620Greg Kelly made that very interesting observation to me when I was with him on the Apple Audio, the Red Apple Audio Network for a great interview earlier today.
00:41:30.980Well, and Roger, there is something, I think, to be said about the historical implications of this, you know, because going back, I pulled an advertisement that I want to run here because I think it showcases exactly who President Trump is.
00:41:47.700And it showcases that, you know, I was looking back at some of the old things that President Trump had talked about in his speeches.
00:41:54.320And really, I think it's one of the great underestimated things, the positivity of Trump's messaging.
00:42:00.860He actually is a very positive person when he speaks.
00:42:08.200And it's the same reason that people really gravitated to him before he got to politics.
00:42:13.720So for all of our audience out there, I just want to roll this clip and, Roger, get your thoughts on this after the assassination.
00:42:19.140I think every word here, the attempt on Trump's life, I think every word here is kind of cemented in history.
00:42:26.080And it shows the resilience of Trump, the idea that even when he doesn't know the situation, he's standing on a stage, he's just been shot, there's blood coming out of his face.
00:42:36.720And he sits there and puts his fist up and tells the audience to fight, fight, fight.
00:42:42.620This is a guy that will not give up, even when facing down the barrel of a gun for this country.
00:42:51.380I think that will end up being the defining image of this decade.
00:42:56.240I think that will be the defining image of this 2024 election.
00:43:00.200And I think this picture, Roger, will go down in history as probably the most powerful image that's ever been captured of a U.S. president.
00:43:09.560I have never seen anything that powerful.
00:43:12.280Let's roll this ad and get Roger's thoughts on his friend of 45 years, Donald Trump, being cemented as one of the biggest threats to the world order, the new world order, the evil elites of this country.
00:43:27.820Let's get Roger's thoughts on the other side of this.
00:43:29.880The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead because it's the outsiders who change the world and will make a real and lasting difference.
00:44:25.600A powerful ad by President Donald Trump.
00:44:34.840We're going to take a quick commercial break here, folks.
00:44:37.700If you're fascinated by today's news, and like many Americans, you have many questions, I have written a book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy, The Case Against LBJ, which I make the case that there was indeed a plot that was helmed by Vice President Lyndon Johnson.
00:44:57.360This included the Central Intelligence Agency, organized crime, big Texas oil, banking interests, and other international interests to kill President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963.
00:45:10.900I use eyewitness evidence, fingerprint evidence, and real Texas politics to make the case that LBJ had the motive, means, and opportunity to kill John Kennedy.
00:45:22.980If you doubt my thesis, I urge you to buy my book.
00:45:30.500You can get it at themanwhokilledkennedy.com, themanwhokilledkennedy.com, and you can get a signed copy there.
00:45:39.180Now, should you decide to order it elsewhere by going to Amazon or Barnes or Noble or some multinational corporation that hates your guts, please remember to get the paperback version, which has three additional chapters.
00:45:56.640If you are interested in history and politics, this is the beginning of a chain reactions, including the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, that bring us to yesterday's events.
00:46:26.640I would caution you that anyone who really respects actual survey research understands that you can't really poll accurately in the eye of a storm, that you need to let events settle down in such a way that public opinion gets more fixed.
00:46:41.620Right now, voters are being pummeled with information about the attempted assassination, which, by the way, blocks out all of the Democrats' messaging,
00:46:51.360trying to falsely tie Donald Trump to agenda 2025, a fool's errand at this point.
00:47:01.840Well, and Roger, you know, I immediately thought, first of all, I just wanted to say, you know, immediately when I saw this happen,
00:47:07.500and for all the conservatives out there, you know, I think we are all in a kind of a brotherhood, especially here on the Stone Zone.
00:47:14.560Roger, I look at you like a brother, you know, and the idea that we have President Trump out there as the front of this movement.
00:47:21.840You know, I felt more proud than ever to be a Trump supporter yesterday, and I think a lot of people, we even saw headlines in mainstream outlets that are usually very anti-Trump, saying we are all MAGA today.
00:47:33.120But really, your historical influence here is just amazing, and I wanted to ask you, you know, 45-plus years ago, you, by all accounts, are really the first person to ever urge Donald Trump to run for president.
00:47:49.340And I just wanted to ask you, what was that like, seeing that happen, seeing Trump become this influential, this – I mean, the world has really been focused on Donald Trump since 2015, almost a decade now.
00:48:00.540Now, what's it like seeing that unfold as somebody who sat in a room with Donald Trump 45 years ago and was one of the first people to urge him to run for president?
00:48:09.980Well, Troy, here is the key thing. I think this is the second time that Trump has cheated death.
00:48:16.000The first time, as I detail in my book, The Making of the President in 2016, How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution,
00:48:24.000details that in the 80s, President Donald Trump, then businessman Donald Trump, was scheduled to fly from New York to Atlantic City by helicopter,
00:48:35.320in this particular case, using a leased helicopter, because Trump's own helicopter was in for service.
00:48:41.520Trump was scheduled to fly to Atlantic City with all of the top executives of his casino development and management company.
00:48:48.320At the last minute, I called Trump from Washington, asking to see him on an urgent matter pertaining to upcoming currency transaction rules at the Treasury Department,
00:49:00.180and he decided that he would wait for me to meet with him in New York and that the helicopter would proceed to New Jersey,
00:49:07.000then come back and pick him up and take him to Atlantic City later.
00:49:10.580I jumped immediately. In those days, you didn't need a ticket. You jumped on the Eastern Shuttle.
00:49:16.620You could buy your ticket right there. Flew immediately to New York, went directly to his office.
00:49:21.240He told me I had one hour before he left for Atlantic City, but it wasn't 10 minutes into our meeting that I heard people wailing in the hallways.
00:49:31.500And his longtime assistant, Norma Federer, came in and said,
00:49:34.940Mr. Trump, I have horrific news. The helicopter with our entire team crashed in New Jersey's Pinelands, and there are reportedly no survivors.
00:49:46.760Now, Donald Trump was supposed to be on that helicopter. The tabloids try to say that that claim by Trump was made up.
00:49:53.140It was not. I was there. I'm not saying that my request for the meeting saved his life,
00:49:59.340but I knew then that his life had been spared for some greater purpose.
00:50:04.720This is now the second time that the hand of protection has extended over Donald Trump,
00:50:10.460which leads me to believe that the Christian prophet, Kim Clement, who said Trump would serve two terms,
00:50:18.580but did not say two consecutive terms, will prove to be correct.
00:50:23.320I think that he, the hand of God is on him, but for a millimeter of an inch, he would be dead.
00:50:30.320He turns his head based on a video I've watched over and over and over again.
00:50:35.040He turns his head at exactly the crucial time to save his life. It is really breathtaking.
00:50:41.740Well, and I think everybody else had that sinking feeling that you described, Roger. And I just,
00:50:47.900I was really glad to be able to ask you about that because, you know, like I said, you were really
00:50:52.720one of the first people there, probably the first person there. And to see him kind of ascend to the
00:50:59.380level that he's at now, where he's really the fixation of the world, I'm interested to ask you as
00:51:03.980well, how do you think that this shooting is going to affect President Trump's policy, if at all?
00:51:10.560Do you think that he will be, I don't want to say more aggressive, but do you think that there's
00:51:15.680certain things that he will do differently because of this event?
00:51:19.680Look, he's already put out a very strong statement saying that he was going to attend
00:51:23.820Milwaukee no matter what, that he was not going to disrupt his schedule. He prayed for those killed
00:51:30.740and injured and their families. And he reiterated that he would never, ever give in to wickedness
00:51:37.700and evil, and that we need to continue what he pretty clearly said was a spiritual fight.
00:51:43.300So I don't expect he will do anything different. The political impact, I think he's going to get
00:51:48.220millions more in small and medium-sized contributions. I expect that his poll numbers,
00:51:53.440which are already impressive, are just going to get better. His voters are certainly galvanized as
00:51:59.380never before. And I think for those who are undecided, I think you can see now the entire wicked
00:52:05.020scheme to first to bankrupt him, then to jail him, to smear him. Joe Biden said at a rally the night
00:52:12.300that Trump was a rapist. Trump has not been convicted of rape. Trump was specifically not
00:52:17.520convicted of rape, even though the sexual assault trial in which he was found liable was a circus,
00:52:23.440was a joke. They had to change the state law and then change it back so that that baseless action
00:52:30.400could be filed. And the woman who filed it basically went on CNN and said that rape was
00:52:36.140sexy. Boy, you've never seen Anderson Cooper cut to a break any faster in your life.
00:52:42.300Well, and I remember that. And he's seen some crazy stuff and I think he's turning it off. You know,
00:52:47.320it's pretty funny. But I wanted to ask you, you know, Roger, specifically, there's one angle we
00:52:52.520haven't covered here yet. And we have a couple of clips to this. President Biden repeatedly has claimed
00:52:59.660because of the former chief of staff of President Trump, John Kelly's claims that Trump has called
00:53:07.620military leaders suckers and losers. He's repeated this over and over and over again. And we have two
00:53:14.480recent clips of him saying this. One is at a July 4th speech he gave at the White House. And the next
00:53:20.600one is on morning, Joe, the morning after the first presidential debate. We want to play those back to back
00:53:26.660and get Roger's thoughts. Do you think that the suckers and losers hoax had anything to do with
00:53:31.880what we saw yesterday, considering that it's been reported? Now, we don't 100 percent have this
00:53:37.220down, but it's been reported that the shooter, Thomas Crooks's father, is actually a member of
00:53:42.240the military and that this may have played a role. So I'm interested to hear your perspective
00:53:45.860on the suckers and losers hoax and its role in this shooting yesterday. So let's roll those clips,
00:53:51.560get Roger's thoughts. And by the way, you know, I was in that World War One cemetery
00:53:57.720in France. And the one that one of our colleagues, the former president, didn't want to go and be up
00:54:07.180there. I probably shouldn't even say it. At any rate, we got to just remember who the hell we are.
00:54:15.780We're the United States of America. And I'm reading from the list of lies. First of all,
00:54:22.540he was made up quote, suckers and losers. I was with him. He called Americans in the cemeteries
00:54:30.020of World War One suckers and losers. So now Biden says he was present when most definitely he wasn't
00:54:36.380present. Look, the whole suckers and losers lie is made up by General John Kelly, who only spits it up
00:54:43.080after he's fired. There are 19 other people there at the exact same time. Every one of them says Trump
00:54:49.240never said those words. This has been completely debunked. Joe Biden knows it, but he keeps repeating
00:54:55.480it, just like he keeps repeating the lie about Nazis in Charlottesville. This is the same Joe Biden
00:55:01.760who told George Stephanopoulos that he did so badly in the debate because he was distracted by Trump
00:55:08.640shouting at him after they had turned Trump's microphone off. Yet I went back and looked at
00:55:14.100the video and that didn't happen, not even once. Trump never talks over Biden or interrupts him
00:55:20.240through the entire 90 minutes. So this guy just can't stop lying. It is part of their campaign,
00:55:27.540a terrific piece. I think it was by J.D. Vance pointing out the way they have vilified Trump,
00:55:34.220depicting him as a fascist, as a racist, as a sexist, as an authoritarian. And then they act
00:55:42.000like they're surprised when some unhinged lunatic goes out and tries to take a shot at him. Or we
00:55:49.220don't know if there are others involved. I'm not sure we'll ever know the full truth of what transpired
00:55:55.640yesterday. But it can only happen in the overheated atmosphere that have been created by the Rick
00:56:02.720Wilson's, the Lincoln Project, by the entire front line, the MSNBC, with this constant fomenting of
00:56:10.180hate. And it's all projection. The candidate who's a clear danger to democracy, well, that would be
00:56:17.700Joe Biden. The candidate trying to keep his opponent off the ballot. How democratic is that? The candidate
00:56:24.700who's seeking to censor internet and all-platform commentary in violation of the First Amendment,
00:56:33.920the Justice Department that conducted 278 illegal surveillances spying on U.S. citizens without
00:56:43.020warrants. I would say that those are the things that threaten our democracy. How about a federal
00:56:49.160bureaucracy and will try to shoot and kill their political opponent when they fail to get that
00:56:54.620opponent incarcerated? Because I think there's every possibility that that's what we're looking
00:57:00.280at here. We have to pray that the House Republicans will actually conduct a legitimate investigation.
00:57:07.280Otherwise, as we said earlier in the program, we're asking the Secret Service to investigate
00:57:12.160themselves and their own conduct. I already doubt a number of things that they're saying. I'm not
00:57:17.420certain today that the man they've identified as the would-be killer is really the killer. How do we
00:57:25.180know that? There are, as I said earlier, other reports identifying another man, Matthew, a fellow by the name
00:57:33.940of Maxwell Yerrick. Where's he been in? Or does he? So it is absolutely clear that we have a demented deep
00:57:43.900state that now goes into overdrive in their efforts to destroy Trump. They're increasingly hysterical
00:57:51.340because what they fear is not retribution, not revenge, but equal protection under the law. They tried to
00:57:58.960railroad me and General Flynn and Paul Manafort and George Papadopoulos and Donald Trump, and they
00:58:06.740failed. And now they've tried to assassinate him, and they failed again. Personally, I pray for the
00:58:14.260continued protection of God for presidential candidate Donald Trump. I think it is only through prayer and
00:58:21.380divine intervention that we've gotten to where we are. All of the obstacles that have fallen away, the
00:58:26.720tsunami of lawfare, the rigged cases in Georgia, the rigged cases in New York, the federal cases
00:58:32.620in Florida and D.C. have all fallen away because Trump has asserted his due process rights and has
00:58:40.100fought for the right to compete in this election. It is all electioneering interference, election
00:58:47.400interference. Is there any doubt of that, Troy? No, Roger, there isn't. And I think most people,
00:58:54.360we look at what happened yesterday and we say, okay, we've seen this before. We saw it with Bobby
00:58:59.140Kennedy. We saw it with John F. Kennedy. We saw it with President Reagan. And I don't think there's
00:59:04.020any mistake, Roger, that this occurred just a week before Trump is set to pick his vice president.
00:59:09.100We know, based on your reporting, that George H.W. Bush possibly had the most to gain by the
00:59:17.120assassination attempt made on former President Ronald Reagan. And I think that there is probably an
00:59:22.740attempt right now by some very nefarious individuals to influence who Trump will pick. And I think that
00:59:29.340this event, if anything, it puts more emphasis on the vice president and it puts more emphasis on that
00:59:35.940choice that Trump is going to have to make in the next week. Because as we saw yesterday, the
00:59:41.060establishment in this country, they will do absolutely, they will stop at absolutely nothing
00:59:46.300to ensure that President Trump is stopped. And that includes assassination, as you correctly
00:59:51.660predicted and Alex Jones correctly predicted so many others, Roger. They're pulling out all the
00:59:58.020stops and we're seeing it happen in live time. And I think a lot of Americans are really scared as to
01:00:02.600what could possibly happen next. All right. I'm afraid we have to leave it there. Folks,
01:00:07.680I've been broadcasting for five hours straight and I'm pretty punch drunk, but I wanted to bring you
