00:00:00.000The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:11.340Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:15.080He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:21.240As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:26.580and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:32.180Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:37.520And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:45.260Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and you are back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:50.220Well, the big news late yesterday, WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who had been languishing in Britain's infamous Bell Marsh prison for 1,910 days,
00:01:07.200has been released after reaching a plea bargain with the Biden administration in which he agreed to plead guilty to stealing, essentially, state secrets.
00:01:20.920In order to break this story down, which I have quite a bit to say, let my co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief of Slingshot.News, join us now.
00:01:33.420Roger, as always, it's an honor to be back in the Stone Zone.
00:01:38.180And huge news with this Julian Assange thing.
00:01:40.320We have video of Assange leaving Britain, where he was in prison, getting on a plane.
00:01:45.020Actually, word is that he's headed back to Australia.
00:01:47.540Wanted to run that and then get your thoughts on the entire situation on the other side of the video.
00:02:00.020Look, I have been very clear about this.
00:02:06.900His crime is publishing material embarrassing to the deep state, indeed, embarrassing to both parties.
00:02:16.040It's funny how liberals loved WikiLeaks when he was publishing documents that were embarrassing to the George W. Bush administration.
00:02:26.200But when he began publishing information embarrassing to Obama and Hillary Clinton, he became a villain.
00:02:35.440As you know, one of the false claims surrounding my trial is that I somehow received and passed on information from WikiLeaks or that I played some role in the timing of the release of the WikiLeaks material.
00:02:55.960And, in fact, in the long-hidden, long-redacted final report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which only became public because BuzzFeed sued the Justice Department to unredact that report,
00:03:12.080expecting they were expecting they would learn embarrassing things about me when, in fact, they themselves admitted that this is BuzzFeed, that I was vindicated.
00:03:23.040There is no evidence whatsoever that I received anything from WikiLeaks, that I communicated directly with Assange, and the false claims of right-wing gadfly Dr. Jerry Corsi,
00:03:39.200that I had called him the morning of the infamous Billy Bush, grabbed them by the you-know-what tape to urge him to contact Assange to tell Assange to expedite his release of Clinton material,
00:03:57.000could not be corroborated by Robert Mueller and his thugs because it was not true.
00:04:03.880So, to be very clear, I hate to disappoint all those haters on social media, I welcome what Julian Assange has to say, either under oath or in an interview, because I think he will tell the truth.
00:04:19.760And the truth is, I received nothing from them.
00:04:22.980He actually said in numerous interviews that he was amused at the way I was trolling the media.
00:04:31.600I set a Google News alert for Julian Assange, and I read every interview he gave.
00:04:39.200He himself said that he had obtained information that was embarrassing to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, and that he would release it.
00:04:48.680More specifically, it was, indeed, New York City then radio host Randy Credico, who told me that this would be released in October.
00:04:59.180And when I asked him how he knew that, he said in a text message, which the judge would not allow us to enter into evidence in my trial, that a woman friend of his was a lawyer for Assange, and I just shouldn't ask any more questions.
00:05:16.880I'm going to be publishing all of those in a Substack piece probably tomorrow.
00:05:21.320So I look forward to Assange returning back to public life if he chooses to do so, and I think we can clear the air on this once and for all.
00:05:34.360On the other hand, I also think that this is chilling for all journalists.
00:05:41.180The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, all of them are the receivers of classified and sometimes top secret information, which they publish.
00:05:53.160The Pentagon Papers case was precisely about that.
00:05:56.880You'll recall that the Nixon administration sought to go to federal court to prevent, first, the Washington Post, but then, more precisely, the New York Times, from publishing the Pentagon Papers.
00:06:20.700While we're at it, Julian Assange has vehemently denied that he is in any way a Russian state actor, and there is no proof whatsoever that WikiLeaks received this material from the Russians, just as there is no proof that the Russian intelligence hacked the Democratic National Committee.
00:06:46.020In fact, the forensic evidence is to the contrary.
00:06:51.900Unfortunately, I wanted Bill Benny, who was the leading cyber technical person, cyber security person at the CIA, to testify at my trial and to present forensic evidence that would have proved that there was no online hack of the Democratic National Committee, not by the Russians or by anyone else.
00:07:17.380Unfortunately, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, would not allow that testimony.
00:07:52.640Well, Roger, as you stated, as a journalist, as somebody who does something very similar to Assange, you could even say we do the exact same thing.
00:08:00.380It's so horrible to see a guy treated so terribly over something that really, as you stated, I think this is the most shocking part of the whole case.
00:08:10.260And it's why your case is so important in this, Roger.
00:08:13.620There actually is no proof that the DNC was ever hacked.
00:08:17.480And that claim has never been substantiated.
00:08:20.520And yet it was the basis of your persecution.
00:08:23.440It's been the basis of Julian Assange's persecution.
00:08:28.800And I've seen, you know, I've heard people tell me, you know, because Assange and Snowden and others who have been whistleblowers, you know, when you talk to people that are in these intelligence agencies and particularly those who lead them, when you mention Julian Assange, they actually get so angry that they start slamming their hands around and actually like being, like coming out of their shell.
00:08:50.460They're so angry at Snowden and Assange and all these people.
00:08:54.620And I was talking to a friend yesterday and we both agreed, you know, these people, they should be lauded.
00:09:03.180They should be leading these institutions.
00:09:05.660And we wonder why these institutions, whether it be the FBI, the CIA, they have all these problems as it pertains to corruption and these horrible actors rising to the top.
00:09:18.880And if you want to know the reason why that happens, all you have to do is look at the treatment of Assange.
00:09:25.080Look at the look at the treatment of an Edward Snowden.
00:09:27.540You know, those people, for all of that, our government talks about, oh, Russia, Russia, Russia, so terrible, so terrible.
00:09:33.440Where is Edward Snowden right now, Roger?
00:09:37.480And they are protecting him from us because our people in the CIA and in our government and our military, they said that they will kill Edward Snowden if they get the chance.
00:09:48.840So I think, you know, particularly in the case of Assange, the treatment of this individual, where there's literally no proof that he did anything wrong, is similar to yours.
00:09:59.820And just, you know, because this is so closely related to your situation, Roger, in your case, I went this morning and I picked up the actual script from an article that's talking about the Robert Mueller report.
00:10:14.440And when that was, you know, they released the unredacted version of that and it went out with a whimper.
00:10:20.540You know, I think it should have been a much louder boom when they released this thing.
00:10:36.180And then neither Corsi's testimony nor other evidence currently available to the office is sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Stone knew or believed that the computer intrusions were ongoing at the time he ostensibly encouraged
00:11:00.680or coordinated the publication of the Podesta emails.
00:11:04.020Stone's actions would thus be consistent with, among other things, a belief that he was aiding in the dissemination of fruits of an already completed hacking operation perpetrated by a third party.
00:11:14.460Now, as you know, Roger, that statement from the Mueller report is completely different from what was reported by CNN and MSNBC and others.
00:11:24.680So, I guess, you know, I would assume that this case, especially with Assange, has brought up a lot of memories of your dealing with the Mueller investigation and the FBI and your persecution.
00:11:37.600Well, anyone who will go, and you'd have to look pretty hard to find it because, of course, it got no media coverage at all.
00:11:45.360I'm completely exonerated in Mueller's final report.
00:11:50.340It's funny how Andrew Weissman never mentions that.
00:11:53.260But the only media outlets that covered this were the Gateway Pundit and Zero Hedge.
00:12:00.900And for some odd reason, the Zero Hedge piece, which I have screenshotted, is no longer online.
00:12:08.620But the document, the Washington Examiner, also covered it and covered it well.
00:12:13.200Let me remind you that I had to go to trial before Judge Amy Berman Jackson because the federal prosecutors insisted that in their indictment of 17 alleged Russian intelligence assets that they claimed had hacked the DNC,
00:12:33.760that they had hacked the DNC, that they had hacked the DNC, that they had hacked the DNC, that they had found information by search warrant in that case that they would introduce against me in my case.
00:12:45.160That's why they claimed these were related cases.
00:12:48.100They never produced any such evidence because, of course, there is no such evidence.
00:12:52.800And the indictment of the 17 Russian assets, of course, never even went to discovery.
00:13:03.560It's interesting that when Rod Rosenstein, the acting attorney general, breathlessly held a press conference to announce that indictment,
00:13:11.600they specifically said no U.S. citizen had broken any laws.
00:13:21.060That's one of the principal reasons why President Donald Trump was able to see through the thin veneer that had been constructed by Andrew Weissman.
00:13:31.360What I mean by that is that the Mueller prosecutors went to two different federal judges,
00:13:38.180and they told them that they had evidence and probable cause against me for treason,
00:13:46.600conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, counterfeiting,
00:13:53.240unauthorized access to a government computer, aiding and abetting conspiracy before and after the fact,
00:21:08.720And Sarah Murray of CNN sent Grant Smith, my attorney, a copy of my still-sealed criminal indictment.
00:21:17.840It had no court stampings or court markings on it, so it didn't come from the special prosecutor's website, as CNN tried to later falsely claim.
00:21:29.560But if you looked at the metadata tags, you could see the initials of the man who wrote it, Andrew Weissman,
00:21:37.200the man who also, therefore, leaked it to CNN in violation of the law.
00:21:43.200It is absurd for the government to say that I had to be arrested in this manner because I was a flight risk.
00:21:53.420I say that because four hours later, when I was arraigned, the government asked for no cash bond.
00:22:00.200I was released on my own reconnaissance.
00:22:02.620So if they really thought I was a flight risk, they would have asked for some heavy-duty cash bond, but they didn't.
00:22:10.440This was all about trying to humiliate me and also to send a chilling message to other witnesses that the Mueller investigation was looking at
00:22:22.420or was seeking to pressure to testify that they would be dealt with in the same way.
00:22:28.760As I have said, obviously, deadly force was authorized in this raid in my home, even though the FBI was aware of the fact that I don't own a firearm,
00:23:58.440It was only the day before that my attorneys gave the special counsel's office the text messages that proved that Randy Credico had perjured himself before the grand jury and had perjured himself, would later perjure himself at my trial.
00:24:16.200Specifically, one of the charges was that I lied about the fact that Credico told me that the WikiLeaks disclosures were, at his words, dynamite, and that they would come in October.
00:24:31.940When I asked him how he knew this, he said, again, a woman lawyer who's a friend of his works for Assange and don't ask any more questions.
00:24:42.960I'll be publishing and posting those text messages later today just to continue to prove that my trial in Washington, D.C. was a Soviet-style show trial.
00:24:57.440That's because they didn't want me to mention that the FBI admitted that they had never inspected the computer servers at the DNC.
00:25:06.680It is amazing to me now, as I look at the parallels between my trial and Donald Trump's trial in New York, how they used the same playbook.
00:25:17.860I mean, I come to the conclusion that my trial was the template, the prototype for what would be done to Trump.
00:25:27.000We were both gagged unconstitutionally, couldn't defend ourselves.
00:25:32.180The judges in both cases refused to recuse themselves after making prejudicial comments from the bench.
00:25:38.800In both cases, a motion to change venue because of the overwhelming bias of any jury in D.C. or New York was rejected.
00:25:50.400And then, of course, there were the limitations on testimony.
00:25:53.580In other words, just as the judge in my case would not let Bill Binney, the leading cyber technical expert at the CIA, testify on my behalf and introduce forensic evidence that would prove that the underlying premise of my indictment was false, that there had been no online hack of the DNC.
00:26:15.560In Trump's case, they wouldn't allow the head of the Federal Election Commission or the former head, Bradley Smith, who had served as chairman, vice chairman and general counsel of the FEC, testify to the fact that there was no underlying crime in terms of campaign finance involved in the so-called hush money payments from the Trump organization.
00:26:39.800So in a chilling way, I see the exact same tactics that were used, but then that's not surprising because both of them were orchestrated by the aforementioned Andrew Weissman.
00:26:53.660Now, Mr. Weissman, who talks endlessly about the rule of law, of course, is the man who erased the cell phone memories of 31 of the Mueller prosecutors after the announcement that John Durham would conduct an investigation into the Russian collusion investigation.
00:27:12.160This is the same Andrew Weissman who lied under oath to cover up mob murders in Brooklyn.
00:27:17.900Sammy Gravano killed multiple people that he was never charged with those killings, thanks to the cover up by Andrew Weissman.
00:27:26.220And then for some demented reason, Weissman keeps pointing to the Enron case as if it is the the Holy Grail, the gold standard of criminal prosecution, forgetting to mention that he was reversed nine to zero by the court after destroying two giant companies.
00:27:47.900Both Enron and Arthur Anderson, their accounting firm.
00:27:53.860I have a longer piece coming on Mr. Weissman, who who has a really outrageous comment last week when I simply said that Republicans need to be prepared in the event that they are locked out of the account centers as they were in Detroit and Philadelphia in 2020.
00:28:14.060Their lawyers need to have the cell phone number or the phone number for a judge in case they need to file an emergency order at the time that the court is closed.
00:28:30.120Yet he says federal marshals should be very concerned with Stone's comments.
00:28:35.340Now, anybody who will read the transcript of what I said in this recently illegally recorded video, and I'm going to publish that later today, will see that my my references to lawyers and judges are completely appropriate.
00:28:52.180Surely, Mr. Weissman knows that in the D.C. Circuit, there have been instances in which attorneys have had to get a judge at home, get them out of bed in some instances in order to file an emergency motion in a time sensitive matter.
00:29:07.860So I think that this is amazing that you that you that you have this level of disinformation and distortion.
00:29:18.320One of the other things I said, and it was just my opinion, this was back in March, I said that I believed that Judge Cannon could be on the verge of dismissing the so-called documents case.
00:29:31.260It was amazing to see Joyce Vance and others immediately say, well, Stone obviously said that the judge is in Trump's pocket.
00:29:58.420Subsequently, Trump's lawyers would file a motion for dismissal that would be denied by the judge.
00:30:07.140I could yet still be correct because we still have pending a legal challenge to the status of Mr. Smith and whether his appointment was unconstitutional.
00:30:20.300Now, Weissman and Norm Eisen and Neil Keitel and others in that cabal can say that this is frivolous.
00:30:31.200They know that it's a very serious motion.
00:30:34.420There's an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court by a former attorney general of the United States and two very prominent law school professors.
00:30:44.060It's a it's a motion that has real merit.
00:30:47.840I don't know what Judge Cannon is going to do, but I think it's a very strong argument.
00:30:56.340But Joyce Vance, another former U.S. attorney, saying that I implied that I knew what the judge was going to do.
00:31:04.840If anyone will just read the transcript.
00:31:06.360I said nothing of the kind, by the way, Joyce, I'm allowed to have an opinion just like you.
00:31:13.480Anyway, I think we have beat this to death.
00:31:17.180Well, and Roger, just one more point here on this, you know, the overarching, I think, theme of the, you know, the attacks against the judiciary.
00:31:26.260And that's something that we have talked about here on the Stones.
00:31:29.020And I'm not seeing talked about, not seeing this talked about on Fox.
00:31:32.720I'm not seeing it talked about in other, you know, political podcasts and whatnot.
00:31:36.920There has been an effort by Andrew Weissman, by Norm Eisen, by us to undermine Judge Eileen Cannon for several months now.
00:31:46.060And they have been going on the air and maybe even, you know, slandering her, I would say, because they're saying straight up.
00:31:53.960She wants to make sure that this case is not heard before the election.
00:31:59.520They've been accusing her of colluding with Trump all along.
00:32:02.600And, Roger, we don't need to look any further than the woman who illegally recorded you at Mar-a-Lago, Lauren Windsor.
00:32:10.320And it's important to point out that Lauren Windsor, before she released her piece on you just several weeks earlier,
00:32:16.240had illegally recorded several Supreme Court justices, Samuel Alito particularly, and his wife, in an attempt to undermine the Supreme Court.
00:32:28.840And there are actually direct payments from the DNC in 2016 to a media organization called Mike Lux Media, which Lauren Windsor happens to be a partner of.
00:32:39.440So we have direct payments from Democrat apparatus, the DNC, and we also have direct payments from MoveOn.org and several others more recently
00:32:49.240that prove that Windsor, who's going out there trying to, you know, you look at how your story was used, Roger.
00:32:56.220They take a false accusation by Windsor, really a nothing burger of a tape.
00:46:25.280Now, Dana Bash's former husband, Jeremy Bash, was an aide to John Brennan, the CIA director,
00:46:33.900who was, I believe, guilty of treason in the entire Russian collusion hoax.
00:46:40.020But more precisely, Jeremy Bash is one of the 51 current or former intelligence officers who co-signed a letter saying that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:46:53.700So anyway, you slice it, Jake Tapper, who's a nasty piece of work, and I think kind of lighten the loafers himself, and Dana Bash, when you combine them with Joe Biden, that's three on one.
00:47:09.520Now you add to the fact that the rules are basically disadvantageous to President Trump.
00:47:15.480His microphone will be turned off while Joe is speaking.
00:47:20.900I suspect they'll turn it off at other times when they don't like the point that he made.
00:47:25.480By the way, we saw this on CNN just the other morning, where Caroline Levitt confronted a CNN talking head about the past bias of Jake Tapper, and she basically turned the microphone off.
00:47:41.860CNN is not a legitimate news outlet, folks.
00:47:45.000I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't eat out of the toilet.
00:47:51.160Nonetheless, I think Donald Trump is committed to what should be but won't be a slugfest.
00:47:57.500You see, Joe Biden doesn't have the capacity to remember new material.
00:48:04.220Joe Biden is particularly slow on his feet.
00:48:07.360I was told this by a former Democrat member of the U.S. Senate only last night, who said, look, Joe operates by rote.
00:48:15.520That's why he recycles all of these old stories, most of them fictional to begin with, or embellished at a minimum.
00:48:22.880And as I've said on this show, I'm not sure what he can run on.
00:48:28.580He certainly can't run on a robust economy.
00:48:34.020He can't run on the safety of our neighborhoods and communities because his open borders policy has given us a crime epidemic, a fentanyl epidemic.
00:48:46.980And cities, counties, and states have enormous fiscal problems because in many states, the states require those localities to pay for social services for people who are here illegally, even if it means cutting services on U.S. citizens.
00:49:04.660He certainly can't run on the availability of affordable housing.
00:49:08.880It doesn't matter whether you're renting or you want to buy.
00:49:14.740And, of course, we are teetering on the edge of World War III in the Russian-Ukraine conflict, where we don't even have peace talks going.
00:49:24.440There are no ongoing peace talks to try to end the killing.
00:49:28.020And then, of course, we have the double game that he's playing in the Middle East, in which he's basically on both sides, having unfrozen over $100 billion in assets for the Iranians, who in turn, of course, use that money to restart their nuclear weapons development program and to fund Islamic terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:49:52.960At the same time, he seeks to restrain our Israeli allies.
00:49:58.940This is chaos in our current foreign policy.
00:50:02.880By the way, Troy, on this show, we've covered the fact that the Russians now have nuclear submarines, which I believe are, in fact, loaded and armed with long-range missiles, in the Gulf of Mexico, literally miles from the Florida coast.
00:50:20.640One presumes that this is a reaction by the Russians to our authorization of the use of U.S. missiles that can be used for the purposes of hitting targets inside Russia by the Ukrainians.
00:50:42.460So that feckless foreign policy adds up to a toxic mix.
00:50:47.060Therefore, I predict to you, when they go to this debate, Joe Biden will attack Donald Trump, calling him a convicted criminal.
00:50:56.960He's going to go around the horn on January 6th.
00:51:00.920He's going to accuse Trump falsely of seeking to outlaw abortion.
00:51:05.560In fact, he's going to say he's already outlawed abortion.
00:51:08.300He's ended a woman's right to choose, which, of course, is not accurate in terms of the impact of the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
00:51:17.160And it won't be long before they pull out their old evergreen, those nasty Republicans want to cut your Social Security benefits, something Donald Trump is also opposed to.
00:51:28.060So look for an all-offensive campaign from the Democrats because the country and the world is on fire under Joe Biden, and they have no positive news to run on.
00:51:40.160By the way, next Sunday on my WABC radio show at 77 WABC in New York, Barry Habib, one of the most respected experts on both housing and the mortgage market, joins me to talk about the inflation and the unemployment numbers and to actually deconstruct exactly how those have been rigged to try to give people a false impression.
00:52:06.800Troy, I know you're going to want to tune in for that.
00:52:10.160Oh, absolutely, Roger, and you mentioned briefly the Social Security issue, and we pulled an ad this morning because the Trump team is hitting back over this.
00:52:19.600And we have an ad where they show President Joe Biden claiming that he actually wants to cut Social Security over and over again.
00:52:30.020And as you stated, you know, this is a false claim that Trump wants to cut Social Security.
00:52:34.580He's been very strong in his defense of it.
00:52:36.560So let's roll that clip and get your thoughts on this new campaign advertisement.
00:52:40.160When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well.
00:52:49.140And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.
00:52:54.700Raising the cap, raising the retirement age for people who are now 30 years old, raising the tax on Social Security, cutting benefits, they're all things that have to be discussed, quite frankly.
00:53:07.360The American people know we have to fix Social Security.
00:53:11.060They know we can't grow our way to a solution.
00:53:14.500They know we're going to have to make some tough decisions.
00:53:16.880Would you consider looking at those programs, age of eligibility, cost of living, put it all on the table?
00:53:23.160The answer is absolutely, you have to.
00:53:24.580We are going to change the retirement age for Social Security.
00:53:27.540We will always protect Social Security and Medicare for our great seniors.
00:54:10.400It was only a couple months ago when the Biden administration sought to take credit for a cost of living increase in Social Security payments,
00:54:20.660only to find out that that had actually been done by President Richard Nixon, not Joe Biden.
00:54:28.280This is going to be one of their major issues.
00:59:05.000The only people watching CNN are trapped in airports, because no one else is really watching it,
00:59:11.640and no one else really takes them terribly seriously.
00:59:15.440All right, I'm going to wrap this up, Troy.

01:00:27.760Once again, the takeaway, I'm delighted that Julian Assange has been released.
01:00:32.420I look forward to any either public under oath testimony, although I'm not an attorney and I'm unclear on the process where he has pled guilty.
01:00:41.840I assume that means there will be no trial, but also look forward to any interviews so we can finally clarify the New York Times promulgated falsehood
01:00:51.500that I was somehow involved in the release or the timing of the release of the WikiLeaks disclosures
01:00:58.500that were so embarrassing and so harmful to Hillary Clinton.
01:01:02.280By the way, nothing released by WikiLeaks has ever been questioned in terms of its authenticity.
01:01:08.980Can the New York Times and the Washington Post say that?
