The StoneZONE with Roger Stone - The Stone Zone ｜ 08-08-25

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:00:05.460 You are now entering the Stone Zone.

00:00:09.320 In breaking news, the Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, late yesterday

00:00:14.880 signed an authorization, designated Ed Martin, a Deputy Attorney General, as a special counsel

00:00:23.100 to pursue the mortgage fraud charges against both New York Attorney General Letitia James

00:00:30.520 and Senator and former Congressman Adam Schiff.

00:00:35.560 The authorization signed by the Attorney General specifically gives Martin authority in the

00:00:42.840 Eastern District of New York, in the Eastern District of Virginia, both the jurisdictions

00:00:49.260 in which James is accused in a referral letter from the Federal Housing Finance Agency's

00:00:57.620 legal counsel to the Department of Justice of conducting a serial series of mortgage fraud

00:01:05.020 actions, also giving Martin jurisdiction in Maryland, where Senator Adam Schiff is accused

00:01:13.260 of mortgage fraud.

00:01:14.460 These are very serious cases, cases that if I did this or some average citizen did it,

00:01:20.980 they would certainly be prosecuted.

00:01:23.040 In fact, I did a little research.

00:01:25.480 Other people have been prosecuted for these precise crimes.

00:01:30.040 In the case of James, of course, he claimed that a Virginia property would be her principal

00:01:35.760 legal residence in order to obtain a lower mortgage rate and therefore a lower insurance rate.

00:01:42.280 He, of course, never inhabited the property, as she said she would do in a signed and sworn affidavit.

00:01:51.240 Of course, if she had moved to the Virginia property under New York state law, she would not be eligible

00:01:57.240 to be the Attorney General of New York.

00:02:01.040 This is an open and shut case of mortgage fraud.

00:02:05.960 And in the case of Adam Schiff, he very simply claimed that both his condominium in Burbank

00:02:14.360 and his home in Maryland were both his principal legal residence, thus getting a tax break in

00:02:22.300 both jurisdictions and qualifying for a lower mortgage rate and lower insurance rates.

00:02:29.760 So justice is going to be done.

00:02:32.680 The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of New York is leading the investigation

00:02:37.260 into Letitia James. 0.95

00:02:39.840 We were told earlier that James has her own civil lawsuit against Trump. 0.95

00:02:47.540 James received subpoenas earlier this week requesting documents particularly

00:02:51.140 related to her politically motivated witch hunt against Trump.

00:02:55.280 The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York is leading that investigation.

00:02:59.960 Investigators want to see if James' office violated legal rights of the president under

00:03:05.400 the color of law in pursuing civil lawsuits.

00:03:08.960 James won a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump and his organization after speciously claiming

00:03:15.060 he had inflated his net worth on his financial statements in order to qualify for commercial

00:03:21.340 real estate loans.

00:03:22.340 In that case, of course, all of those lenders were paid back on time and made some $40 million

00:03:29.220 in interest.

00:03:31.580 Every one of those financial institutions said that they would be willing to do those business

00:03:37.540 deals again.

00:03:38.760 But unfortunately, the judge in the case would not allow any of those representatives to testify.

00:03:45.260 Trump and his organization were ordered to pay over $300 million in judgment.

00:03:49.140 I point out to you that that judgment is currently on appeal.

00:03:54.180 And strictly enough, the Attorney General, Letitia James, prosecuted Trump under a law under

00:04:00.580 which no one else in the history of New York State has ever been prosecuted.

00:04:05.560 There is a certain irony here because in the mortgage cases, Letitia James actually has 0.61

00:04:12.240 three mortgages totaling $586,000 on a New York property that is appraised at $125,000.

00:04:21.200 Two of those three mortgages are not disclosed on her legally required New York State disclosure

00:04:27.860 form.

00:04:28.920 Looks to me like she has inflated the value of her assets in order to obtain these mortgages. 0.97

00:04:35.120 We shall see how this develops.

00:04:37.800 The case is currently being appealed, the Trump case that is.

00:04:42.180 James, of course, also initiated high-profile lawfare cases against the National Rifle Association

00:04:49.700 and VDARE, an anti-illegal immigration blog and foundation.

00:04:56.480 James is, as I say, facing this new federal grand jury investigation for mortgage fraud,

00:05:02.420 allegedly declaring her Virginia property as her primary residence, unlawfully pocketing

00:05:08.740 over $100,000 in illicit benefits.

00:05:12.260 James' days of abusing her authority may be coming to an end.

00:05:16.280 This lawsuit will result in public disgrace, but hopefully there will also just be a beginning.

00:05:21.560 James is also reportedly under investigation for her knowledge of a bank in New York, Standard

00:05:28.480 Charter Bank, which was violating the Iranian sanctions, wiring over $9.6 billion to Iran

00:05:38.800 and to organizations in Iran who are associated with terrorism.

00:05:44.920 Letitia James reminds us over and over again, no person is above the law.

00:05:50.220 Well, it turns out that that includes New York Attorney General Letitia James.

00:05:54.980 Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has replaced his acting IRS commissioner, Billy Long, with

00:06:01.660 Treasury Secretary Scott Besant in a shakeup that will bring the IRS in line with the America

00:06:06.940 First financial agenda for the Trump administration.

00:06:11.000 Long was well thought of in that position.

00:06:13.900 It appears to me that he simply was seeking a different assignment.

00:06:18.500 Besant is among President Trump's very best appointments.

00:06:22.360 He's a Wall Street wizard who once worked for George Soros, prior to Soros getting involved

00:06:28.960 in politics, and made millions and millions of dollars for Soros as a hedge fund manager.

00:06:37.060 But Scott Besson's personal politics are those of America First.

00:06:41.700 He emerged on the campaign trail as Trump's chief economic advisor.

00:06:46.400 He's also tapping into a deep team that included Steve Moore and others.

00:06:53.080 He's an outside-the-box thinker.

00:06:55.460 He's a libertarian.

00:06:57.600 He is a great supporter of lower taxation, deregulation, and a great believer in gold.

00:07:06.400 I think Scott Besson is among the president's very best appointees.

00:07:10.840 And this is not something unseen in the Trump administration.

00:07:15.760 So, for example, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also serves as the current national security

00:07:23.060 advisor.

00:07:24.240 At the same time, he is also the temporary head of the National Archives.

00:07:30.100 When Trump finds reliable and enormously capable people who are capable of doing more than one

00:07:36.760 job at a time, particularly with the highly efficient and experienced staff around them,

00:07:42.960 he will trust people to do more than one job.

00:07:46.540 In the short term, I think Scott Besson will do a great job until a full-time IRS commissioner

00:07:53.840 can be found.

00:07:54.960 It's time, in my opinion, to start downsizing the IRS and phasing them out entirely.

00:07:59.900 Tariffs are bringing in amazing revenues, and those are what we should be using to finance

00:08:07.600 the national government.

00:08:08.900 Let me point out that until 1913, there was no federal income tax, and the United States

00:08:15.120 government was completely and totally financed by tariff revenue.

00:08:20.740 For the first month, this past June, for the first time in 15 years, our U.S. government

00:08:29.200 actually ran a surplus.

00:08:32.020 Is it conceivably possible that the Income Tax Act of 1913 could be completely and totally

00:08:38.760 repealed?

00:08:40.180 Well, Trump has talked wistfully about it.

00:08:42.640 Scott Besson is known to be an advocate.

00:08:44.700 It's time to go back to the Constitution, sound money, and I vote for no income tax whatsoever.

00:08:53.020 We have just learned, shockingly, that Bill Barr, the former attorney general, according

00:09:00.060 to an incredible new report by Project Veritas, colluded with corrupt former Fulton County District

00:09:09.860 Attorney Fannie Willis on a RICO case against President Donald Trump.

00:09:17.160 Journalist and whistleblower Patricia Lellis came forward to expose how Attorney General 0.99

00:09:23.580 Barr plotted the RICO charges in Georgia against Trump because he believed it would be a very

00:09:30.000 difficult charge for the then former president to defend.

00:09:34.160 After becoming acquainted with Barr through her work with Armstrong Williams, Lellis became

00:09:40.980 privy to this information, keeping copious notes of the conversations between Williams and

00:09:48.060 Barr, all of which she was a party to.

00:09:51.140 She turned all of his reports over to the FBI, and of course, surprisingly then, she heard

00:09:57.120 nothing whatsoever.

00:09:58.260 Now, she is the individual being prosecuted simply because she decided to speak out.

00:10:04.300 This is a trend we've seen again and again, where the whistleblower, instead of those there

00:10:11.060 blowing the whistle on being prosecuted, the full force of the federal government is turned

00:10:16.640 on the whistleblower.

00:10:18.760 In this case, it's particularly interesting to me because the notes that Lellis provided

00:10:25.620 demonstrated that Barr and Williams specifically decided to target me in regard to January 6th

00:10:35.860 is only one minor problem.

00:10:39.080 Any claim that I knew in advance about, condoned, or participated in any illegal activity on January

00:10:47.660 6th is categorically false.

00:10:49.900 And there is no evidence, meaning no email, no text message, no encrypted message, no phone call,

00:10:59.600 no chat group that would prove otherwise.

00:11:02.580 I simply was not there, and I had no knowledge of the events at the Capitol on January 6th.

00:11:09.460 Likewise, I was not involved in any way in the effort to delay the Electoral College vote.

00:11:15.720 I am a student of history, so I do know that we have had in the history alternative elector

00:11:22.600 slates.

00:11:23.240 The idea of fake electors is a creation of the warped talking heads at MSNBC.

00:11:31.300 In 1960, when it was believed on election night that Vice President Richard Nixon had carried

00:11:37.860 Hawaii, John F. Kennedy's campaign disagreed, believing that when the absentee ballots were fully

00:11:44.940 counted, that JFK would emerge as the winner of Hawaii, so they filed an alternative elector

00:11:52.560 slate.

00:11:53.680 In the end, of course, they were right. 0.96

00:11:55.500 Once all the votes were counted, the electors for Hawaii were unseeded, and the alternative

00:12:02.440 electors who had been put in place by John Kennedy's campaign were ceded to vote in the

00:12:08.060 Electoral College.

00:12:08.940 Nobody accused John F. Kennedy of having, quote-unquote, fake electors.

00:12:14.740 It's a non-issue.

00:12:16.760 But going back a little bit to the genesis of the Jeffrey Epstein case, it's an often overlooked

00:12:22.800 fact that the man who gave Epstein his start as a teacher at the Dalton School, despite Epstein

00:12:28.640 having no academic background and being a college dropout, was actually Donald Barr, Bill Barr's

00:12:36.420 father.

00:12:36.820 So the family of former Attorney General Bill Barr gave Epstein his first break.

00:12:45.260 His family has done the deep state's bidding going back generations.

00:12:49.360 Bill Barr, of course, was an attorney for the Central Intelligence Agency, where he oversaw

00:12:56.460 the CIA's operation to traffic cocaine into Mena, Arkansas, after the U.S. Congress, through

00:13:06.580 the Boland Amendment, cut off U.S. funding for the freedom fighters in Nicaragua.

00:13:13.060 At that point, in an operation supervised by CIA Director Bill Casey and Vice President George

00:13:21.520 H.H.W. Bush, the government took drugs they had interdicted, trafficked them into Mena,

00:13:29.440 sold them to liquidate them to funds that, in turn, were used to illegally finance the

00:13:36.660 Contras in Nicaragua.

00:13:39.180 In my opinion, Bill Barr should also be prosecuted, along with Barack Obama, former CIA Director

00:13:46.520 John Brennan, James Comey, Susan Rice, James Clapper, and all of the other Obama cabal conspirators

00:13:54.180 who gave us the greatest single dirty trick in American political history, the abuse of

00:14:00.280 power in which the full authority of the United States government and the capability of our

00:14:05.460 intelligence agencies were used to bring down a duly elected president.

00:14:11.100 You're listening to Roger Stone, right here in the Stone Zone, and we'll be right back.

00:14:15.320 The Stone Zone, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:14:23.980 This shrimp and coconut sauce is divine.

00:14:26.760 What's your secret?

00:14:27.740 Goya coconut milk.

00:14:28.900 How does it taste so good?

00:14:30.100 It's all in that real coconut flavor, in that rich, creamy texture.

00:14:34.400 What about thickeners and added sugars?

00:14:36.580 None.

00:14:37.220 Just smooth, coconut-y goodness.

00:14:39.660 What can I make with it?

00:14:40.780 From curries to sweet treats like coconut flan, the possibilities are endless.

00:14:46.140 Goya coconut milk.

00:14:47.340 Take your cooking to the next level.

00:14:48.960 No question about it.

00:14:50.040 Find it in the Goya section of your local grocery store.

00:14:52.360 If it's Goya, it has to be good.

00:14:56.680 The Stone Zone.

00:14:58.840 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:02.720 Welcome back into the Stone Zone.

00:15:04.900 We told you yesterday that Howard Stern had his $100 million-a-year contract with SiriusXM terminated.

00:15:14.180 Joining us shortly here in the Stone Zone is one of his arch rivals, radio legend Mancow, Eric Mancow Mueller of Chicago, a man who went head-to-head with Sterns in a ratings struggle in which Mancow emerged as the winner.

00:15:30.860 We'll be on to talk to us about the legacy of Howard Stern.

00:15:36.580 I guess I just never found Stern funny, and I guess I never got it, but Mancow will tell us a great deal more about that.

00:15:44.140 In the meantime, President Donald Trump is going to war with the drug cartels south of the border, quite literally.

00:15:51.380 He announced yesterday he will be using the military to go after the drug cartels that have been deemed by our federal government now as terrorist organizations.

00:16:00.600 White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said President Trump's top priority is protecting the homeland, which is why he took the bold step to designate several cartels and gangs as former terrorist or foreign terrorist organizations.

00:16:16.780 So groups like Tren d'Argua, MS-13, and Cartel de los Solas have been named as terrorist groups.

00:16:26.460 This opens them up to being targeted by our military.

00:16:30.260 National Guardsmen and active duty troops are now going to be deployed over the border to stop for once and for all the drug flow and the illegal immigration into our country.

00:16:42.680 This is, based on history, a proper and legal use of the military and the National Guard, protecting our borders and stopping drugs and crime rather than lording over the wastelands in the Middle East so defense contractors can rack up hefty, hefty profits.

00:17:00.540 Meanwhile, President Trump has offered a $50 million bounty for the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Maduro.

00:17:07.820 Yesterday, the Trump administration announced they were offering this bounty for anyone who can arrange the arrest of the Venezuelan thug dictator, Nicolas Maduro, one of the world's most repressive communist despots in the country, or I should say in the world, who continues to promote leftism and terrorism as well as despair throughout the South American continent.

00:17:32.940 Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations to bring deadly drugs and violence to our country, adding that the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro to date.

00:17:46.560 If you're just tuning in, I'm Roger Stone.

00:17:48.840 This is The Stone Zone, and we'll be right back with radio legend Eric Mankow-Miller.

00:17:54.760 The Mankow.

00:17:55.860 Please, please, don't touch that dial.

00:17:58.640 Welcome back into The Stone Zone.

00:18:18.520 We reported to you yesterday that SiriusXM has terminated the $100 million-a-year contact for Howard Stern.

00:18:28.040 Joining us now is radio legend Eric Mankow-Miller, better known as The Mankow, who went head-to-head with Howard Stern in the Chicago radio market and vanquished Stern.

00:18:43.900 He is a longtime critic of Stern.

00:18:46.380 In my own case, not only did I never understand Stern's humor, but I hated the way that he loved to utilize Donald Trump to boost his ratings before Trump was in politics, but then turned on Trump like a rabid dog once Trump decided to make America great again.

00:19:05.420 Joining me now is The Mankow.

00:19:08.540 He stormed into the Chicago radio scene, originally with Mankow's Morning Madhouse, emerging as a giant in the radio industry, known for his daring stunts, his sharp wit, his vivid character, and his boundless charm.

00:19:25.620 But his abilities extend far beyond radio.

00:19:30.620 He's a best-selling author, appeared on several hit TV and reality shows.

00:19:35.620 I am proud to bring on my friend Mankow.

00:19:39.620 Mankow, he is a gourmand, a boulevardier, a bon vivant, a man-about-town, a raconteur, and a man from whom I have learned virtually everything I know about radio.

00:19:54.160 Mankow, welcome to The Stone Zone.

00:19:56.620 Roger, thank you.

00:19:57.420 Love you, brother.

00:19:58.920 You know, I don't know where to begin.

00:20:00.240 Let me thank you for the intro.

00:20:01.780 So the die-hard movie with Bruce Willis is what I hear about a lot now if people want to see who I am.

00:20:09.180 And Bruce is not going to be doing many more.

00:20:11.100 Look, my battle with Stern is epic.

00:20:13.840 I have all the files from radio.

00:20:17.180 I can reveal a lot of stuff to you.

00:20:18.840 But what I want to say, the main point I want to get out is Oprah was allowed to do all kinds of assertive things and excretory things, and so was Stern, that I wasn't allowed to do because I was conservative.

00:20:30.680 I'm a freedom lover.

00:20:31.560 I'm a libertarian.

00:20:32.440 I'm a live-and-let-live kind of guy.

00:20:34.200 And I've been saying it for 30 years, and people thought I was crazy, of course.

00:20:37.460 But these people were propped up.

00:20:39.240 And we see now, without USAID and other government help, they don't exist.

00:20:42.740 They're going away.

00:20:43.680 People like Colbert.

00:20:44.620 Kimmel was my sportscaster. 0.90

00:20:46.880 And you tell people this 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and they think you're crazy.

00:20:50.820 They think, just like everybody would argue with me, that you were a Russian spy. 0.71

00:20:55.320 And so you feel like a crazy man because you know the truth.

00:20:58.480 Howard Stern was set upon the American radioscape.

00:21:01.000 Believe me, we have to deal with the FCC, a government agency.

00:21:03.900 And I got fines and hassles every single day.

00:21:07.140 Man, Cal, you said the F word.

00:21:08.360 No, I didn't.

00:21:09.180 But I still had to hire a lawyer and fight it against the government.

00:21:11.860 Well, Stern got a free pass.

00:21:13.400 In every audience survey and in every market where I competed against him, I didn't just hold my own. 1.00

00:21:19.840 I kicked his ass. 1.00

00:21:21.280 And I destroyed him. 1.00

00:21:22.580 And people given a choice always wanted me, look, he was there for one reason.

00:21:26.420 Yes, he gave you cake and circus and all the BS.

00:21:29.840 He was allowed to talk about boobies and get the young men. 0.94

00:21:32.320 But it was really about neutering men and making them into good little subservient communists. 0.90

00:21:38.040 And I'm not kidding you. 0.89

00:21:39.000 He was a mouthpiece, a propagandist, and a sellout.

00:21:42.060 So just like the freak shows would have a great banner and you would go into the freak show and it would always be a letdown,

00:21:47.440 the same thing, you get your boobies.

00:21:50.100 Oh, he's so naughty. 0.95

00:21:51.320 And then you get in and it's a good neutering of men. 1.00

00:21:54.520 And I always hated the guy and I will relieve myself on his grave.

00:22:00.900 And that is not something I'm just saying.

00:22:04.260 I'm going to do it.

00:22:04.820 I'm going to post it online. 0.90

00:22:06.120 He is the devil and good riddance. 0.76

00:22:09.940 Man, Cal, you have to stop mincing words. 0.88

00:22:12.360 You have to stop holding back.

00:22:13.880 You need to tell my audience what you really think.

00:22:16.760 Look, I recall that Howard Stern often used the N-word.

00:22:22.580 He did a number of routines in blackface.

00:22:26.420 None of that is acceptable then or today.

00:22:29.520 But somehow he got away with it in a way that no one else could do.

00:22:34.720 Why do you think that is?

00:22:36.640 I said it.

00:22:38.500 And again, oh, it's Spoilsport, Man, Cal.

00:22:41.680 And look, I was offered to replace him in New York.

00:22:44.880 And David Lee Roth got in there.

00:22:46.980 And that's a very long story.

00:22:48.740 But look, it's fake.

00:22:51.220 It's fake.

00:22:52.840 Why is Anderson Cooper?

00:22:54.520 I mean, my numbers dwarfed Anderson Cooper and all these guys.

00:22:57.420 So they're promoted because their agenda.

00:23:00.100 It's government licensed.

00:23:02.320 The same thing when I had better numbers than, you know, the Daily Show.

00:23:07.140 And I went and talked to Comedy Central.

00:23:09.840 Well, you have to be liberal, right?

00:23:11.580 Well, no, I'm a freedom guy.

00:23:13.120 I'm a populist guy.

00:23:14.300 Ah, can't do it.

00:23:15.380 So, look, you've been – look at the dumbing down of society, Roger.

00:23:20.000 Listen to the music.

00:23:21.320 Look at the TV shows.

00:23:22.720 Look at the movies.

00:23:23.920 This is all by design.

00:23:25.400 I was at Comic-Con for a week with a guy that played Flash Gordon, Sam Jones.

00:23:29.920 And I don't know if you remember that old movie, Flash Gordon, 1982 Queen soundtrack.

00:23:34.020 But you should see what passes for men now.

00:23:36.560 They're all soft around the middle.

00:23:38.160 They don't have an opinion.

00:23:39.400 They're wearing flip-flops and shorts.

00:23:42.000 And they're just – they're nothing.

00:23:43.880 And their children are even worse. 0.99

00:23:45.580 The schools have dumbed us down. 0.80

00:23:46.920 There's chemicals in the water. 0.88

00:23:48.320 And they've given us entertainment that is to neuter you. 0.69

00:23:51.720 And that's why.

00:23:53.460 Because the government backing – how am I going to fight the government?

00:23:56.680 I was asked to run – you know about this.

00:23:58.220 You were going to be part of my campaign.

00:24:00.100 I was asked to run against J.B. Pritzker here in Illinois.

00:24:02.540 He's our governor, complete communist.

00:24:04.440 But he's a billionaire.

00:24:06.100 What do you do?

00:24:07.140 It's all scripted.

00:24:08.000 It's all fake.

00:24:09.060 And the people are really getting the short end of the stick.

00:24:14.000 I have to agree with everything you say.

00:24:17.340 Let me ask you a few subjective questions.

00:24:19.440 You are probably the number one rock and roll fan in the country.

00:24:23.520 You are an aficionado of great rock.

00:24:28.480 What is the greatest rock band of all time?

00:24:31.000 Wow, thank you.

00:24:32.100 I introduced John Lodge of the Moody Blues the last two nights in Chicago.

00:24:35.900 I was instrumental in getting the Moody Blues in the Rocker Hall of Fame.

00:24:39.420 They have seven albums, starting with Days of Future Past, I think, are masterpieces.

00:24:43.680 The Beatles are great, of course.

00:24:44.920 The Who, The Stones, etc.

00:24:46.160 But when you talk about perfect albums, and every one of their albums had clunkers, but perfect albums without clunkers, you're talking about seven Moody Blues albums.

00:24:54.020 Question of Balance, probably the masterpiece.

00:24:56.040 I love the Kinks.

00:24:56.880 And they played My Wedding.

00:24:59.460 There's a lot of great rock bands.

00:25:00.780 But I would have to say the Moody Blues, which nobody would agree with.

00:25:04.760 But that's my stance.

00:25:05.940 And then the Kinks.

00:25:06.560 Well, I can definitely testify for your love at the Kinks, because the last time I was a guest at your home in Chicago, outside of Chicago, you played the album 12 times in a row.

00:25:18.060 It was like background music.

00:25:19.720 It was really great.

00:25:21.700 I'm also a fan of the Kinks.

00:25:24.320 In your opinion, there's a tough one, the greatest rock guitarist of all time.

00:25:29.360 Well, you know, I love Rick Nielsen.

00:25:34.080 They're my friends from Cheap Trick.

00:25:38.860 I love David Gilmore with Pink Floyd.

00:25:40.740 I'm not a big guitar guy.

00:25:41.920 I like more subtle stuff.

00:25:43.440 So I would say Gilmore with Pink Floyd.

00:25:46.560 And Billy Corgan, my neighbor here, Billy Corgan, the Smashing Pumpkins, is a great underrated guitar.

00:25:52.280 The Edge is great, but it's all done through effects.

00:25:54.760 The Edge with U2.

00:25:55.640 And the greatest entertainer of all time, I would either say, if I may, I would either say Al Jolson or Wagner.

00:26:03.100 So two controversial people to say, but just you're talking about great artists that have lived, those two.

00:26:09.420 Yeah, there's no question.

00:26:10.900 Al Jolson, who has his first Broadway hit in 1912 and is the male vocalist of the year, 1950, the year before he dies.

00:26:20.520 He's a guy who dominated Broadway, then makes the first talking picture, then a radio star, goes into an eclipse.

00:26:32.340 But it makes a tremendous comeback when Metri and Goldwyn Mayers makes the Jolson story, which remains my favorite movie of all time.

00:26:41.740 With Jolson Sings Again, the sequel being my second favorite movie of all time.

00:26:47.060 Of course, politically incorrect to recognize the enormous talent of Al Jolson.

00:26:53.360 People ask me the guitar question, I take it a little broader.

00:26:58.200 So to me, the greatest guitarist of all time would either be one of the Kings.

00:27:02.820 It would either be B.B. King, Albert King, or Freddie King.

00:27:07.520 But that, of course, is a little bit more in the blues genre.

00:27:11.220 Let's get back to politics, if we may.

00:27:13.880 The director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has now released the classified Russiagate files, proving beyond any doubt that Barack Obama, CIA director John Brennan, James Clapper, and the whole gang were responsible for framing Trump as a Russian agent with completely fraudulent, fabricated intelligence.

00:27:37.880 And, Wes, we just found out that through an email that was declassified that Hillary Clinton approved the entire gambit from the beginning.

00:27:49.340 What do you expect to happen to these criminals now that they've been exposed?

00:27:53.640 And do you have any confidence that they will actually pay any penalty?

00:28:00.000 Roger, casting aside the man-cow mask of play and speaking to you as my friend, people don't know the hell you went through.

00:28:07.260 You lost everything over this Russian hoax, and I got in fistfights over you, the hell you've been through.

00:28:14.920 And the fact that you can sit here on the radio and talk about it so detached is shocking.

00:28:21.240 Look, we knew it was all B.S., and we fought it.

00:28:24.500 I fought it on air and off air.

00:28:26.380 And I'm sorry that our country put you through this hell, but we will be victorious.

00:28:31.340 And in the end, you know that God wins and good wins.

00:28:34.760 I hope that the creep that's running for mayor of New York doesn't win, and my prayers go there.

00:28:41.220 Look, I'll tell you some crazy stuff.

00:28:44.920 I have to say it's my opinion.

00:28:46.320 But I believe they have video of Barack Obama and the butler, the chef, being drowned.

00:28:52.720 I believe they have surveillance photo and video.

00:28:55.280 I believe that Breitbart was killed, and they found out that information.

00:28:59.460 I was going to do a show on Fox, signed, sealed, and delivered days after he was murdered.

00:29:04.200 Andrew Breitbart, you may or may not remember, but we were going to do a show called Future News.

00:29:08.520 And look, these people are bloodthirsty. 0.97

00:29:10.500 I believe part of the frazzledrip story involving Hillary, these are demonic people. 0.99

00:29:15.820 The sex things with children, it's not sexual. 0.99

00:29:18.720 It's demonic. 0.90

00:29:20.840 It's chemical. 0.99

00:29:21.780 These are evil, evil people. 1.00

00:29:23.940 I knew Barack Obama before he was Barack Obama when he was buried in Illinois, and he was a cokehead homosexual. 1.00

00:29:30.900 That was the word, and that's the vibe I got, certainly a Muslim. 0.99

00:29:34.380 And we really have been just fed a lot of lies, and we've been led by a lot of evil.

00:29:38.860 And you got sucked up into all that.

00:29:41.160 And I'm sorry that you went through that and your lovely wife.

00:29:43.900 It breaks my heart.

00:29:44.940 But I hope you feel vindicated, but who cares now that you've lost everything and they put you through hell for years?

00:29:51.460 As you know, it is only through the grace of God and my faith, the restoration of my faith, that I was redeemed in the blood of the cross.

00:30:01.500 And therefore, I have no regrets.

00:30:04.120 There's nothing I would have done differently.

00:30:05.840 When they indicted me on fabricated crimes in order to try to pressure me into testifying falsely against Donald Trump, I refused.

00:30:15.080 And I have no regret.

00:30:16.380 I would do it again tomorrow.

00:30:18.120 I don't know how people like Michael Cohen live with themselves.

00:30:21.760 I really, really don't.

00:30:23.960 So if you were President Trump's top advisor, and I know he's a good friend of yours, but if you were his top advisor in the White House, what would be your top priority?

00:30:34.180 What would you put at the top of his list of things to do to make America great again?

00:30:40.120 What a great question.

00:30:41.540 I don't know the right tongue right now, but there was a thing that Obama repealed about fake news and propaganda and news having to be somewhat equal.

00:30:52.820 They need to restore that act that Obama destroyed, and we need to restore the act that foreign agents cannot run for office, public offices. 0.98

00:31:01.860 Islam is a cancer that's coming for us. 1.00

00:31:05.020 I was in England recently. 0.98

00:31:06.740 I'm going to be there in December with the Moody Blues, Justin Hayward, and it's like being in Calcutta, man. 0.96

00:31:11.560 It's unbelievable what we've given up, the culture that we've – and that's what I'm saying with Stern, too, the cautioning, the stupidity, the neutering of the – look at how men are portrayed. 0.99

00:31:23.380 And, yeah, so I would say no foreigners can hold office. 1.00

00:31:28.560 You've got to be born in America and also make it so the media cannot lie.

00:31:33.280 It's amazing how they're reporting all this Tulsi Gabbard stuff like it's some questionable thing.

00:31:39.040 It's not.

00:31:39.540 They've got the smoking gun. 0.99

00:31:41.500 Obama and Hillary and the rest are treasonous, and we used to hang traitors. 0.99

00:31:46.740 I remember the story of Julius and Ethel. 0.94

00:31:49.100 You're not old enough to remember them, are you?

00:31:51.540 Yes, I'm very familiar with that case.

00:31:54.400 Of course, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of being Russian spies and actually stealing the country's atomic secrets.

00:32:02.700 Right.

00:32:03.060 So why are we putting up with this?

00:32:05.400 You know, I know Barry's so likable.

00:32:06.960 Barry Obama and Hillary is such a delight, but, you know, they should get the treatment that the Rosenbergs got. 1.00

00:32:12.940 We need to bring that back.

00:32:14.000 And, yes, McCarthy was a drunk, but he was right. 0.91

00:32:17.160 We really were filled with – you know, Hollywood really was filled with communists.

00:32:21.100 Our government really was filled with communists.

00:32:23.340 They really did want to destroy our culture.

00:32:25.960 They really did pack the schools with creeps.

00:32:28.680 And, wow, we were right.

00:32:30.960 But, you know, little solace now after all we've been through.

00:32:35.540 It remains to be seen.

00:32:37.180 I think you can make a very good case that there was and is a seditious conspiracy to commit treason.

00:32:44.580 And that manifested itself, most recently, as the raid on Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

00:32:55.320 Until you've had your home raided, as I've had at 6 o'clock in the morning by 29 heavily armed FBI agents in full SWAT gear brandishing M4 fully assault – automatic assault weapons just to arrest little old me for the first time nonviolent alleged crime of lying to Congress.

00:33:18.560 Because when we've now established that there was nothing to lie about, I had no motive to lie since there was no Russian collusion to cover up.

00:33:28.460 You can't even imagine the sense of violation that stays with you for the rest of your life.

00:33:34.120 My wife still has PTSD from that experience.

00:33:37.980 If something goes bump in the night, she thinks the whole thing is happening again.

00:33:42.880 It's, you know, it is only through prayer that we are fully restored.

00:33:47.420 We're talking to the man-tow, radio legend, right here on the Roger Stone Show, right here in the Stone Zone.

00:33:54.960 We'll be right back.

00:34:30.800 We'd love to talk business.

00:34:32.640 Welcome back.

00:34:44.660 We're in the Stone Zone.

00:34:45.700 We're talking to radio legend, Mancow.

00:34:49.520 He is the man who drove Howard Stern out of both Chicago and virtually every major AM radio market in the country.

00:34:58.440 We're kind of celebrating the end of Howard Stern's career.

00:35:02.320 I never even found him faintly amusing.

00:35:05.200 I guess I just didn't get it.

00:35:06.980 Or maybe it was his politics that I didn't get.

00:35:10.740 One thing I want to clarify in the little time we have left here.

00:35:13.640 You had a hit show on Fox.

00:35:15.420 You knew legendary Fox pioneer Roger Ailes, a man who has been vilified after he's gone on to his maker and can no longer defend himself.

00:35:27.880 The smears and falsehoods that have been spread about him disgust me.

00:35:33.940 He was a great man.

00:35:35.080 He was a decent man.

00:35:36.680 He was a friend of mine.

00:35:38.900 Tell us about your experience with Roger Ailes and the Roger Ailes you knew.

00:35:43.160 Well, he was he was a man and he was a man of great honor and he stuck by me through thick and thin.

00:35:50.440 And that's what everybody will tell you, except for I forget the woman, Gretchen or whatever, that I believe just wanted money, my opinion.

00:35:56.120 But no, Roger was incredible.

00:35:58.440 Roger, I'm going to tell you something, Roger, Roger, about Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger, that's going to shock you.

00:36:03.680 You know, he was my agent.

00:36:07.020 Did you know that?

00:36:07.880 Roger Ailes was my agent and the head of Stern's boss called me and said, Roger Ailes is calling me.

00:36:15.580 Roger Ailes is your agent.

00:36:17.840 And I said, yes.

00:36:18.880 You know, I want to say one thing about Stern, brother.

00:36:21.100 You know, he wore sunglasses and the wig and looked down all the time.

00:36:24.000 He had 23 writers in another room and everything was scripted.

00:36:28.700 Everything was scripted.

00:36:29.980 Nothing was off the cuff.

00:36:31.060 And so 23 writers, I was on my own and we beat him in 330 markets, not every market.

00:36:38.460 But where I wasn't on, I couldn't beat him, obviously.

00:36:40.520 But he was definitely propped up and the government helped him because of his his communism.

00:36:45.940 They want men weak and and they want betas. 1.00

00:36:48.820 They want beta males. 1.00

00:36:49.840 Look at the boobies. 1.00

00:36:51.040 And then he would give you his politics.

00:36:53.100 And it was always to the left.

00:36:54.840 Roger Ailes was a great guy.

00:36:56.540 You're a great guy.

00:36:57.560 We're men.

00:36:58.260 We're alpha men.

00:36:59.340 And we we make decisions.

00:37:01.420 We sit with our legs open.

00:37:02.880 We we mansplain.

00:37:04.720 You know, we you can't have that now.

00:37:07.680 So so that was the problem.

00:37:09.240 The world couldn't handle a Roger Ailes.

00:37:12.180 Yeah, I agree.

00:37:13.180 Of course, I made the same point about Bill Maher, whose show I did numerous times actually

00:37:17.880 did his original pilot for Politically Incorrect.

00:37:20.200 I did it as a favor for a friend.

00:37:23.120 But when you get to your dressing room, his his producer comes in and says, please do me one

00:37:28.760 favor.

00:37:29.100 Yeah, what is it?

00:37:30.440 Don't try to be funnier than man cow.

00:37:32.520 I probably don't be trying to be funnier than than Bill Maher.

00:37:35.340 And I said, wait a minute.

00:37:36.300 He's got a platoon of comedy writers.

00:37:38.140 I I live by my wits, my uncles, Leibovitz and Markowitz.

00:37:42.160 No, I'm all by myself out here.

00:37:44.560 Ba boom.

00:37:44.880 And, you know, Bill Maher is not even faintly amusing without a platoon of comedy writers.

00:37:52.080 I find him, you know, most unentertaining, particularly unhappy about the fact that he he impugned my integrity, called me a Russian spy.

00:38:02.180 Then he admitted there was no Russian collusion.

00:38:04.860 But of course, he would never have me back to clear my name.

00:38:07.780 Not a good guy.

00:38:08.780 In any event, I want to thank my guest, radio legend, man cow, from whom I have learned enormously, virtually everything I know about the medium of radio and how to keep all you folks interested.

00:38:21.660 I hope you have enjoyed our interview today.

00:38:24.540 And I want to issue a very special thanks to man cow, who's been more than just a friend as I've embarked in this radio career.

00:38:32.400 He's really been more like a mentor teaching me the ropes so I can come here and entertain you five nights a week and for two hours on Sunday.

00:38:42.520 Man cow.

00:38:43.080 God bless you.

00:38:43.820 And thank you.

00:38:44.740 And to my friends out there listening in the stone zone.

00:38:47.940 God bless you.

00:38:49.200 God bless you.

00:38:50.100 And Godspeed.
