federal court has now blocked president donald trump from imposing tariffs saying that he exceeded his
00:01:19.780
authority to impose tariffs on our trading partners under the international emergency economic powers
00:01:27.180
act of 1977 last week a federal judge t ken wethraw ruled that president trump did have the authority
00:01:37.040
to impose tariffs under this law a ruling from the 1970s but did not at that time issue an order
00:01:45.060
according to the judge the international emergency economic powers act of 1970 did give trump
00:01:51.580
the authority to set tariffs for reasons other than raising revenue judge weatherall wrote that
00:01:58.040
trump's jurisdiction pardon me his justification for the tariffs both stemming from the flow of illicit
00:02:04.700
drugs into our country and resolving a trade imbalance was sufficient to satisfy the terms set by congress
00:02:13.040
in the 1970s now however rather than issuing a warring that judge punted the case to a federal court in south florida
00:02:23.160
which in turn punted it to a court of international trade that is based in new york the international court of trade
00:02:33.660
three judge panel has now ruled that president trump has exceeded his authority to unilaterally impose tariffs
00:02:41.400
under the 1970s law a three judge panel at the u.s court of international trade a relatively low profile court in manhattan
00:02:51.100
ruled today that there would be a temporary hort to trump's global tariffs that he imposed citing the emergency economic powers
00:03:01.040
in his liberation day announcement back on april 2nd clearly folks they are trying to tie the hands of the president
00:03:10.400
president they're exceeding their authority trying to take the president's executive authority to impose his agenda
00:03:18.220
the agenda that the american people voted overwhelmingly for in the last election
00:03:24.240
this of course will end up as all these questions do before the u.s supreme court
00:03:31.700
also interesting today senator chuck grassley released a newly declassified document proving
00:03:39.180
that fusion gps contractor and wife of an fbi figure lied to congress about her involvement in russiagate
00:03:48.880
you remember that that's the largest single abuse of power in american history an abuse of power in which
00:03:55.900
the full authority of the united states government and the incredible capabilities of our intelligence agencies
00:04:02.280
were utilized utilizing two pieces of so-called evidence that they knew were fabricated
00:04:09.040
the steel dossier that was paid for by hillary clinton that claimed falsely that president donald trump as a private citizen
00:04:18.060
had dallied with prostitutes in moscow when they're on a business trip and the false claim
00:04:24.480
that the russians hacked the democrat national committee uh and that information the fruits of that hack
00:04:31.840
ended up with uh wikileaks the federal government including our intelligence agencies have never provided
00:04:38.720
any evidence uh that would prove either one of those so they tried to remove a duly elected president
00:04:46.960
uh based on a political agenda it was a coup it was a much much bigger scandal uh than watergate
00:04:54.580
but whether anyone is going to be held responsible is yet to be seen one of the problems that i have
00:05:02.940
uh talked about is the fact that any indictment brought in the district of columbia whether it would be
00:05:09.120
for example former cia director john brennan clearly the chief orchestrator of the russian collusion plot
00:05:16.620
uh or fbi director james comey who tried to trap the president uh or the former attorney general
00:05:25.280
acting attorney general rod rosenstein who admits that he was wearing a wire in a meeting with the
00:05:34.560
president in an effort to remove him under the 25th amendment remains to be seen whether any of these
00:05:40.180
people will be held responsible see if you go to trial in the district of columbia uh you're certain
00:05:47.160
to get a deeply biased and politicized judge i certainly had one in my case uh you're also going
00:05:53.320
to get a completely biased jury made up entirely of trump hating democrats uh if you look at the case that
00:06:02.820
john durham the special counsel brought against michael sussman he was one of the lawyers at the very
00:06:09.840
bottom of the totem pole in the russian collusion hoax uh indicting him by the way is kind of like
00:06:16.520
indicting the guy uh who drove the getaway car for double parking while you let the bank robbers escape
00:06:22.500
but even in his case the prosecutor could not secure a conviction whether anyone will be held responsible
00:06:32.140
remains to be seen anyway we are taking your calls uh tonight at 800-848-9222 800-848-9222
00:06:42.400
also you can email us your questions uh they go to askstone at stonezone.com you are in the stone zone
00:06:52.100
and we're taking your questions let's move to our first question laura from cleveland ohio says uh i heard
00:06:59.500
that you had a sheriff on your show yesterday who was convicted of corruption uh why do you think
00:07:04.740
president trump was right to pardon him uh you're absolutely right we had uh we had uh the sheriff
00:07:10.300
uh on scott jenkins on our show last night the president pardoned him late a memorial day uh he was
00:07:18.800
actually supposed to report to a federal prison in virginia where he would have been in the general
00:07:23.700
population along with murderers and drug dealers i think his life would have been in danger
00:07:27.520
but if you look at this case it becomes absolutely clear that he is yet another victim of lawfare what
00:07:34.420
was the judge's crime they said that he uh sold auxiliary deputy badges and the money went to his
00:07:41.840
campaign that is by the way perfectly legal in virginia it's legal in most states legal in in florida
00:07:48.740
uh these auxiliary deputies had no authority uh they required no training and the money didn't go to the
00:07:55.580
sheriff's pocket the money went to his campaign fund uh but i think what really made the sheriff
00:08:01.480
a target uh was his uh standing up for the principle of deporting illegals in this country
00:08:08.940
uh who are a danger to the american people his standing up against governor northam of virginia
00:08:14.840
who wanted to impose draconian gun control laws but what really i think put the target on his back
00:08:21.940
uh was after they decided to target him the fbi put a wiretap on him in which he was heard talking to
00:08:30.580
several other sheriffs about hunter biden's laptop and the need to uh to investigate uh in any way in any
00:08:39.940
event i think the sheriff was not allowed to defend himself the judge in his case uh a radical leftist
00:08:46.460
judge refused to allow him to mount any defense at all uh and or to or for example have any other
00:08:53.900
sheriff from the state of virginia testify that having these auxiliary sheriff's badges and giving
00:09:00.360
them to donors to your campaign is not illegal not even a little bit so um yes i think the president in a
00:09:08.300
in an act of justice and mercy absolutely did the right thing and we had the sheriff on the
00:09:14.620
show in the stone zone only yesterday here's a question for from terry from fairfield connecticut
00:09:21.340
uh she asks how do you think robert f kennedy is doing in his efforts to make america healthy again
00:09:28.220
i think that he is doing amazingly well uh the big pharma is the biggest and most powerful lobby in
00:09:36.140
washington uh but now i note that the cdc uh is no longer requiring uh newborn infants uh or pregnant
00:09:45.500
mothers uh to get uh the covet 19 vaccination uh to me that is tremendous progress uh but i also admire
00:09:53.660
rfk for his efforts to make america's diets healthy again uh he has taken on the entire issue of chronic
00:10:02.780
childhood disease uh and uh he has correctly tied it to the processed foods uh that we are being fed
00:10:12.220
so he has moved very aggressively to remove uh red dye number 40 yellow dye number five yellow dye
00:10:19.340
number one blue dye number one green dye number three green dye number three uh from our food they're all to
00:10:25.340
be phased out by the way those all those uh all those additives are already illegal in every european
00:10:32.220
country he's also moving to take out other toxic chemicals like uh potassium vegetable oil uh potassium
00:10:40.460
bromate uh and many many others so i think rf2k is doing an amazing amazing job uh it is uh our uh great
00:10:53.260
opportunity tonight to take your questions again that number 800-848-9222 800-848-9222
00:11:03.100
uh and uh you can also email your questions to askstone at stonezone.com askstone at stonezone.com
00:11:15.340
in the meantime we have this breaking news regarding the tariffs uh this is part and parcel of the same
00:11:22.540
uh strategy uh bipartisan democrat judges to thwart the authority of the president you recall that the
00:11:30.060
courts uh earlier the lower courts ruled that the president did not have the authority to deport
00:11:36.540
dangerous illegal immigrants who were gang members ultimately the supreme court stepped in and and
00:11:42.700
restored the president's authority this is one of the key elements of the president's agenda i would note
00:11:50.380
that illegal boarding crossing border crossings in our southern border have dropped by 93 percent since
00:11:58.300
president trump simply began uh enforcing existing law you may remember that joe biden kept saying that
00:12:05.820
there's nothing he could do unless concrete congress enacted a new law that was false but then we don't
00:12:12.860
know who was writing that for joe biden uh i think we're pretty sure that he wasn't really running the
00:12:19.260
country and we have the question of the auto pen that was used to sign a number of these pardons as well
00:12:25.340
as a number of his appointments and other policies uh when we come back we're going to be taking your
00:12:30.060

00:13:30.060
office and i'll say this in front of roger he's no baby and right now he's cleaner than anybody in this
00:13:35.420
place now as they treated him very unfairly now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:13:46.780
welcome back to the stone zone i'm roger stone a veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns i spent
00:13:54.380
40 years in the corroded rectum of the two-party system i've seen and heard it all and tonight i'm
00:14:00.300
taking your questions at 800-848-9222 that's 800-848-9222 or ask stone at stone zone.com
00:14:12.380
two ways to send us questions let's go to the call board now uh scott in lexington kentucky uh you have
00:14:18.540
a question yeah thank you mr stone for taking my call i would like your opinion on who is going to take
00:14:25.740
the leadership of these demon cats are you telling me aoc come on man well it's an excellent question
00:14:33.580
let me address it the problem of course is that the old democrat party the party of john f kennedy
00:14:38.860
and harry truman party that believed in capitalism and free enterprise strong national defense believed
00:14:45.100
in god uh that party literally no longer exists the the words moderate democrat sadly today is an oxymoron
00:14:54.140
and their party has become captive by a radical marxist clique in which people like aoc and jasmine
00:15:02.860
crockett uh rise to the top people believe that joe biden who through most of his career was considered
00:15:08.860
a moderate democrat would govern as a moderate democrat little did we know that well it doesn't
00:15:14.940
appear like he was governing at all appears that his wife and those who were controlling the auto pen
00:15:21.580
were governing america and he opened our borders to 20 million i think illegals not to mention
00:15:30.300
an enormous trafficking of drugs and weapons into this country it's very dangerous so their process
00:15:37.660
if they have a democrat process because remember kamala harris was selected as their nominee without
00:15:44.460
winning a single primary or caucus the the national committee just met and they designated her as
00:15:52.380
the candidate they dumped joe biden i think against his will uh will they even have a democratic process
00:15:59.740
small d they whined constantly about democracy but there is no democracy in the nomination of kamala
00:16:05.980
harris by the way if you took a poll today you would find that kamala harris is the number one choice
00:16:11.580
of democrats to be their nominee for 2028 when you include her on the ballot and then after that
00:16:18.300
it drops to aoc i don't think their party is able to nominate a centrist or a moderate and i don't
00:16:27.180
think you're going to beat uh any republican in 2028 with a radical left uh open borders uh candidate
00:16:35.420
uh so the old democrat party sadly a thing of the past great question scott thank you for calling
00:16:42.140
uh bob in uh orange county i assume that's orange county california could be orange county new york
00:16:48.140
uh you have a question yes first of all i want to share president trump's admiration for you mr stone
00:16:56.140
and secondarily it's the orange county new york excellent so so my concern is that i as as a gentleman who is
00:17:04.300
probably similar in age to you um i am concerned that america is now in a september 10th 2001 mindset
00:17:13.420
uh we see radical islamists um throughout the world we see islamists in our congress and i'm
00:17:20.540
concerned that america has become complacent and that we have forgotten uh what had happened on september 11th
00:17:26.540
2001 uh i'm afraid that you're right i think it's also abundantly clear that radical islamists have
00:17:34.380
have infiltrated every segment of our country we will be back to take more of your questions i'm
00:17:41.180
going to finish answering your question bob when we come back we'll be back in the stone zone so
00:17:45.580
whatever you do don't touch that dial do whatever you do this is the stone zone with roger stone the stone
00:18:06.380
this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone here's roger stone
00:18:17.740
welcome back in the stone zone we're taking your questions and calls tonight that number 800-848-9222
00:18:31.180
800-848-9222 or alternatively go to askstone at stonezone.com on the net and we'll take your calls
00:18:41.580
that way i do want to express a little sadness over my good friend rick derringer rock legend
00:18:48.700
extraordinary singer songwriter guitarist entertainer a mega talent uh he first came to national promise
00:18:58.300
uh with the mccoys the hit song hang on sloopy uh later wrote the rock anthem rock and roll hoochie
00:19:05.900
uh he passed away yesterday at age 77 a good friend of mine who was on this show several times uh
00:19:16.860
our our prayers go to his family and his uh and his lovely wife uh anyway we are taking your calls
00:19:25.500
uh vincent from queens uh on from the internet says i saw where dan bongino and cash patel
00:19:33.660
from the fbi say they now believe that the convicted sex trafficker jeffrey epstein killed
00:19:39.580
himself i also saw that you disagreed with that statement so what's the story uh look i have a
00:19:45.340
very high regard for cash patel uh and i sleep better at night knowing that the fbi is now uh redirected
00:19:54.940
towards thwarting uh terrorist plots uh in the united states he's announced that several plots
00:20:02.780
to bomb buildings so on have been averted uh but on this one i think that he's wrong the new york
00:20:09.820
medical examiner michael badden one of the most respected pathologists in the country examined
00:20:17.660
jeffrey epstein's bodies body and said that the markings on his body were not consistent
00:20:25.020
with his having hung himself now you add that to the fact that the video surveillance cameras were just
00:20:31.260
conveniently not operating and the two people charged with monitoring epstein in his cell
00:20:38.860
or they fell asleep uh and that epstein was taken off of suicide watch if he was suicide if he was
00:20:46.700
suicidal why'd they take him off suicide watch and uh and his cellmate was removed from the cell so uh it
00:20:55.420
is uh it is uh it is i think uh add that to the fact that he hired a new criminal defense attorney david
00:21:03.420
shown uh paid shown a retainer uh was arranging for shown to move to new york to go to trial and that
00:21:10.380
they had an extensive discussion of trial strategy in america everybody even the most heinous criminals
00:21:17.100
are entitled to a lawyer and a legal defense uh i am sorry but i think that the evidence is kind of
00:21:24.460
overwhelming uh that epstein did not kill himself add to that by the way the fact that virginia geffrey
00:21:32.940
probably the best known of epstein's victims she turned down a multi-million dollar settlement
00:21:39.740
from epstein instead she insisted on going to trial i read every word of her sworn testimony i interviewed
00:21:47.980
her from my book the clinton's war on women chapter seven of that book the longest chapter in the book
00:21:54.380
is a total expose of jeffrey epstein and his relationship with bill and hillary clinton uh we're
00:22:02.060
told that only weeks ago that she killed herself uh and that was after leaving a message that said i am not
00:22:08.540
suicidal if anybody tells you that i harm myself or kill myself be deeply suspicious so i think those are
00:22:16.060
related events uh and that is why i reached that opinion uh mary ann and bart uh you have a question
00:22:24.780
mary ann and bart yeah we're big fans of your show thank you we have a question do you know if president
00:22:33.900
trump has any plans to do something to protect the power grids in this country because we had followed
00:22:40.460
um a scientist who's now dead but a um dr peter pry i think it was his name unfortunately he's passed
00:22:48.140
away but he said during trump a couple of years ago he talked about trump in his first administration
00:22:54.060
and he said he got an a plus for you know listening to them and trying to do something because apparently
00:23:00.300
china russia iran and north korea have the ability to disable our power grids so do you know if there's any
00:23:08.460
plans to um put something in place uh to protect the power grids uh actually we had a guest on the
00:23:14.860
show glenn rhodes uh several months ago who's also an expert in this area he points out that the power
00:23:20.380
grids across the country are incredibly vulnerable many of them are not guarded at all and some of them
00:23:27.100
are merely guarded by a chain link fence uh not even security cameras no barbed wire uh i think it is uh
00:23:35.020
you're right the president did act very aggressively in his first term joe biden canceled most of that
00:23:41.100
uh you have pointed out a high priority i don't know specific plans but it's an excellent question
00:23:46.700
and next time i talk to the president i'll ask him for you how's that uh thanks so thanks
00:23:53.580
we were hoping maybe you could you know mention it to him or something so well all right i very
00:23:58.540
mary and thank you very much for calling into the stone zone and for your great question uh here's
00:24:05.180
a question from anna in orlando florida uh anna says i tried to fly to visit my grandparents over
00:24:11.820
the memorial day weekend but when i got to the airport i was told that i needed something called
00:24:16.860
real id a new federally required uh photo id i had to wait in line for an hour and i missed my flight
00:24:25.740
because uh well they finally she says let me fly using my driver's license as an id what's going on
00:24:31.980
here uh real id was uh passed into federal law after 9-11 uh and uh they have not been able to
00:24:41.740
implement it because a number of states object in order to get a real id uh you have to submit certain
00:24:49.500
documents uh to the government uh birth certificate uh like a social security card uh driver's license
00:24:57.660
and so on now they tell us that this is a good idea because it would mean that people who are not
00:25:05.580
entitled to social security wouldn't be getting checks or that people who are not legally eligible
00:25:11.900
to vote would not be able to vote although i don't know of a single state uh that uh that uh that uh
00:25:20.540
uh requires real id uh to vote at least not yet my fear of course is that the government will begin
00:25:27.740
collecting biometric information on every american uh and they ultimately use it perhaps to spy on us
00:25:35.980
but ultimately to assign us social credit scores like they have in china uh for those who say oh
00:25:42.700
that's a that's a conspiracy theory look only at the patriot act which was put in place supposedly to
00:25:49.180
protect us from islamic terrorists but ended up being used to justify the spying uh by the fisa court
00:25:57.660
uh and the fbi uh on president donald trump's campaign perfect example of how these well-meaning
00:26:05.580
government programs end up being weaponized against the american people so i think real id is a bad
00:26:13.340
idea i've seen all the tv ads of the uh department of homeland security secretary christy noem talking
00:26:21.660
to us about how great they are i myself am skeptical i think the project is a bad bad idea uh sam from
00:26:31.260
oklahoma you have a question um hi roger um following your story for quite a while but what i want to ask
00:26:40.780
you about is what do you think of the african refugee program and it should be speeded up uh last time i saw
00:26:52.460
we had only actually received 56 uh uh ranchers uh farmers boers from south africa uh i think the
00:27:01.660
president is right their lives are in danger there the government will not protect their lives in fact
00:27:06.620
the governing party uh has rallies screaming for their blood uh and therefore i think the president is
00:27:13.820
right uh and that we should uh allow people from south africa to uh to receive asylum uh in this
00:27:21.580
country uh and i agree with you it should be speeded up thank you so much for your question uh here is
00:27:29.900
another one well online jim from seattle says david hogg he's the vice chairman of the democrat national
00:27:36.700
committee was caught on camera by project veritas admitting that joe biden's chief of staff anthony
00:27:42.540
burnell was the one running the biden white house how many democrats were complicit in the cover-up of
00:27:48.940
joe biden's uh mental decline i think the answer is all of them they all knew every reporter in
00:27:55.580
washington knew uh every member democrat member of congress who met with the president knew uh do you
00:28:01.340
remember the event in which joe biden watched a video tribute to a congresswoman who had just passed
00:28:07.820
away and then as soon as he got up to speak he asked the woman to stand up and take a bow uh joe
00:28:13.500
biden who kept reading the stage directions uh off the teleprompter uh couldn't figure out which way to
00:28:20.540
exit the stage couldn't finish a full sentence or a full thought would just kind of trail off uh which
00:28:27.740
neurologists tell me is a sure sign of the onset of senile dementia uh now you add to that it's constantly
00:28:35.500
falling down no i think the president was uh non-campus mentis i think that those around him
00:28:41.740
knew it now back when woodrow wilson was president he had a stroke in his uh the last three years of
00:28:48.700
his term uh and his wife edith galt wilson was the de facto president united states she would put the pen
00:28:57.020
in his hand and move it across the paper when he had to sign specific uh legal documents but because we
00:29:04.060
had no television no mass media in those days uh and no one saw the president for three years
00:29:10.620
because he was mentally and physically completely incapacitated and no one knew here everyone knew
00:29:16.380
it was an open secret you saw that debate with president donald trump where he literally melted down
00:29:24.060
on national television uh but immediately afterwards kamala harris told us he was and i quote
00:29:29.580
sharp as a tack uh his enablers continue insistent no in private meetings he's intense and he's focused
00:29:37.420
and he's a good old joe he's doing no all of that was bs and they all knew it was it was the greatest
00:29:44.700
cover-up in american political history uh and it is uh particularly a scandal now because we have to ask
00:29:51.420
about all of these pardons they want to talk about trump's pardons let's talk about biden's pardons
00:29:57.340
not just pardons for his political cronies like adam schiff and liz cheney and uh and others but also
00:30:07.420
the pardons he gave to hardened criminals murderers drug dealers sex traffickers people who didn't even
00:30:13.740
apply for pardons people who'd express no remorse for their crimes who authorized those pardons i think
00:30:20.780
they were all signed by an auto pen frankly i doubt that joe biden perhaps even jill biden i don't think
00:30:28.540
they knew so uh it is a gigantic scandal uh jennifer in ohio you have a question i have two quick
00:30:39.820
questions if you don't mind i find a united states military to be one of the precious things that we
00:30:47.260
have to offer they are willing to lay down their lives for us how do you feel about the united states
00:30:55.900
military i completely agree uh my father served my grandfather served all of my uncles served i'm
00:31:03.980
grateful that they all came back uh but uh just two days ago we honored those who didn't make it back
00:31:10.460
those who gave the supreme sacrifice uh watching president trump's remarks at west point i think
00:31:16.460
demonstrated that he too values our military this vile claim by john kelly the chief of staff that he
00:31:26.220
fired general john kelly who said that the president said that those who laid down their lives for the
00:31:33.180
country were suckers and losers there were 19 other people present when he allegedly said that and not a
00:31:39.820
single one of them recalls the president saying anything of the kind uh general kelly also said
00:31:46.540
that trump told him directly that he admired adolf hitler well how come general kelly only remembered
00:31:52.780
that in the 30 days before the election that's because donald trump never said anything of the kind
00:31:58.780
he reveres our military he loves our military he loves our men and women in law enforcement uh and it is
00:32:05.740
great to have a president again uh who reveres the military and respects the fact that they put their
00:32:13.180
lives on the line for us around the globe uh it was heartening to see him at west point jennifer thank you

and we're back in the stone zone we're taking your calls and your questions let's go to john in
00:33:55.500
brooklyn john you have a question i hi roger i heard you say that lbj was behind the jfk assassination
00:34:04.620
i was wondering does did lady bird was she in on it do you think in on the plot or was she kept in the
00:34:09.660
dark uh well she has a broad grin on her face uh when linden is getting sworn in i wrote a book
00:34:15.340
uh new york times bestseller the man who killed kennedy the case against lbj and which i made a case
00:34:22.140
that linden johnson uh was at the helm of a plot that included the cia organized big texas oil and
00:34:31.100
certain financial interests uh to kill john kennedy his motive he was under investigation in the bobby
00:34:37.660
baker and the billy sal estes scandals corruption scandals he was on the verge of being indicted and
00:34:44.140
removed from the 1964 ticket uh i believe that the shooter at least one of the shooters i believe
00:34:51.340
there were as many as four uh but at least one of the shooters from the one from the sixth floor of
00:34:56.700
the texas schoolbook depository building was a man named malcolm mack wallace i say that because
00:35:03.340
wallace left his fingerprints on the cardboard boxes and the window sill on the sixth floor nathan darby
00:35:11.100
one of the foremost fingerprint experts in the country worked for the austin police actually uh
00:35:16.220
said that the prince belonged to wallace wallace uh was in a patronage job at the agriculture department
00:35:23.660
uh he had been convicted of first-degree murder in 1951 when he killed a man john douglas kinzer who
00:35:31.740
was trying to blackmail well lbj uh it was a johnson uh let me say this also that wallace was identified by
00:35:39.580
at least six eyewitnesses who saw a man who met wallace's physical description in the window of the
00:35:45.740
sixth floor wallace was a decorated marine sharpshooter uh and a man named uh mallory uh pardon me
00:35:53.580
loy factor uh who had been recruited as a backup shooter uh revealed uh his presence on the sixth floor
00:36:01.580
with wallace and accurately described the room uh this on the sixth floor from which at least one of the
00:36:09.820
fatal shots was shot so uh motive uh means opportunity it was lbj who insisted that kennedy go to texas
00:36:18.780
it was governor john connolly who had formerly been the chief of staff for uh senator majority leader
00:36:25.420
uh lyndon johnson later vice president uh who insisted that the motorcade which was going to
00:36:31.820
two locations outside the city of dallas from the dallas fort worth airport to the merchandise
00:36:38.460
mart uh it was it was john connolly who insisted that the motorcade go through dealey plaza which is
00:36:45.020
inside the city limits also a motorcade route that required the car to come to a full stop at a stop
00:36:52.620
sign total violation of the secret service manual rules uh so motive means and of course opportunity
00:37:02.620
i stand by my belief that lyndon johnson was at the helm of a plot i do think the cia had their own
00:37:09.980
motives uh they were angry at jfk over the failure of the bay of pigs invasion also they knew in real
00:37:18.220
time in the cuban missile crisis that even though we were told that the russians had removed the
00:37:24.140
missiles from cuba that actually a secret deal was made between the kennedys uh and nikita khrushchev
00:37:30.540
in which we removed our missiles from turkey and italy changing the balance of power uh in in europe
00:37:37.580
that was a classified secret for 40 years but we know it today so the cia's motives are clear and then
00:37:44.780
there was organized crime uh i think they were complicit as well the house uh select committee
00:37:51.100
on assassinations in the late 70s did a full investigation they ruled that organized crime
00:37:56.300
was involved in kennedy's murder so there you have it as they say who benefits cui bono uh in latin
00:38:04.540
i think lbj was the big enchilada when it comes to the murder of jfk thank you for joining us tonight
