The New York Times praises Marco Rubio for his courage in testifying before the U.S. Senate on Venezuela. I don't think so. I think he's a petulant narcissist, and I think it's great that he's willing to wear a straw hat.
00:02:28.680Get your tickets for the dynamic, incredible Vinny Madunio, singing all your Christmas favorites, live in concert at the WABC headquarters in Studio 77.
00:02:43.180So, today's New York Times says that Marco Rubio, who has really been in the forefront of the strident anti-communism, whether it is in Venezuela or whether it's in Cuba or whether it is emerging in Honduras and elsewhere in our hemisphere, that he has been a fierce warrior.
00:03:00.440They say that he may dream of toppling the brutal Cuban regime.
00:03:26.240I read James A. Baker III, wrote a terrific book about his time as secretary of state.
00:03:32.780And you spend most of your time on an airplane.
00:03:35.680And he has a bureaucracy in the State Department that doesn't like, you know, a strong secretary of state who reflects the policies of the president.
00:03:44.380I would never have thought that Marco Rubio would emerge as the feistiest and one of the most outstanding of those executing President Trump's America First policies, fighting narco-terrorism, fighting Marxism, fighting dictatorships in this hemisphere.
00:04:46.860But he has to not only pay attention to Venezuela.
00:04:51.400Clearly, the pressure on Maduro is being ratcheted up.
00:04:56.340Maduro is, I think, engaging in some great PR gymnastics, claiming to have tough policies against drug trafficking when he is, of course, the biggest Marxist narco-trafficker of them all.
00:05:08.060Pretending, surrounding himself with Catholic nuns and saying, don't worry, be happy wearing a straw hat.
00:05:14.740But I think he is petrified that he could be taken out by a Soleimani-type strike.
00:05:22.900But sources tell me that Rubio has really been in the forefront of this.
00:05:30.060But I think Rubio has a new problem on his hands in Honduras.
00:05:34.520Less than a week before the Honduran national president, President Trump, of course, endorsed.
00:05:39.440Tito asked Fura of the Nationalist Party, which he has an absolute right to do.
00:05:44.300He then also subsequently pardoned, unilaterally issued an unconditional pardon for former Honduran president elected by the Nationalist Party, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who will join us shortly to tell his own horrific story.
00:06:02.620I had written about this case and followed it very closely when American journalists gave me a letter from the former president to be passed on to the president of the United States before I decided to do so.
00:06:17.940I read the case, complete all of the public documents.
00:06:22.380And I could see that the three principal witnesses against Juan Orlando Hernandez were all convicted drug traffickers, all of whom had been prosecuted under his administration.
00:06:34.680And because of a law that he signed, an extradition treaty, which no Honduran president has ever been able or been willing to sign, the very drug traffickers who he had extradited to the United States ended up as the witnesses against him.
00:06:50.540And all of them got out of jail free cards for doing so.
00:06:55.880All of them conspired with the Libra Party.
00:06:59.900But the Libra Party has had huge problems because the election has not worked out as they had expected.
00:07:09.020Libra Party nominated Rixi Mankata, who says Fidel Castro is her idol and she was more of the same.
00:07:19.180They did something very, very clever, though, and that is they tried to throw a ringer into the race.
00:07:27.600It was very, very clear that the vice president, Salvador Nasralla, who previously served as the vice president of the Honduras under the outgoing Marxist president, Xiomar Castro of Libra,
00:07:41.580has deep ties to the party and continues to work hand in glove with the Libra Party to fund party operations.
00:07:51.260Nasralla's public split with Libra, I think, was to set him up as what we in American politics call a ringer.
00:08:00.140He was meant to siphon votes from the candidate of the Nationalist Party, Tito Asfura.
00:08:07.680But that failed. Now the leftist elements in the government are insisting that this election, this duly constituted election, not be certified.
00:08:19.660Nasralla himself is the loudest, insisting that he's been cheated when there is no evidence of that.
00:08:27.020Suddenly, the Libra Party, who in the past have always dominated elections in Honduras, came in a distant third.
00:08:38.400And, of course, are now trying to invalidate this election, which pro-U.S., anti-immigration, anti-narco-trafficker Tito Asfura won.
00:08:51.100It's not incidental that the first thing after Juan Hernandez, when Orlando Hernandez signed the extradition treaty, that his successor, Xiomar Castro, rescinded that action.
00:09:04.400So who is it that is in the pocket of the narco-drug traffickers?
00:09:13.200And the truth of the matter is that Hernandez, today will be my first conversation with him ever, if we've ever actually communicated directly.
00:09:21.660I very was happy to have his gracious wife, the former first lady, and his two daughters.
00:09:30.040I had his wife, Ana Garcia de Hernandez, on, as well as daughters Ana Daniela Hernandez and her daughter Isabel Hernandez.
00:09:41.080But I only spoke to them after their father was pardoned.
00:09:44.280And, no, I was paid nothing for my advocacy, not a penny, and I received this document, decided to send it on to the president.
00:09:53.980But all it takes is an examination, as Matt Gaetz did in a great interview with President Hernandez.
00:10:01.020He was subjected to the same vicious lawfare as President Donald Trump in the Jack Smith investigation, in the Robert Mueller investigation, in the vile lawfare against him in the New York court system.
00:10:18.120The kind of tactics used against General Michael Flynn, the kind of tactics used against me, against Paul Manafort and others, and they're fraudulent.
00:10:31.400They're now thoroughly and completely busted in the questions whether they will see justice.
00:10:37.380This is a very key point that Rod Martin was making, because this is a continuing seditious conspiracy.
00:10:43.460And it's born in an Oval Office meeting in April of, I believe it was 2016.
00:10:51.860And it is absolutely clear that Barack Obama knows that Hillary Clinton has a plan to falsely claim Russian interference to benefit Donald Trump in the election.
00:11:05.680And she approves a false claim that Alpha Bank, a Russian bank, maintains a computer terminal inside the Trump Organization headquarters.
00:11:18.040It turns out to be a fabricated lie that Jake Sullivan, her national security advisor, later Joe Biden's national security, lied about.
00:11:27.740So, and you have this stunning act that's come to light, where 51 intelligence officers, former or current, all got together knowingly, admitting that as Mike Burrell, the former director of CIA, former deputy director of CIA, called Joe Biden an incoherent vegetable, I believe it was,
00:11:51.660going to go into the debate, which is, gives you some idea why 51 spies lied.
00:11:59.560It was outrageous to see Hunter Biden attacking Miranda Devine of the New York Post, by far one of the very best investigative reporters in the country.
00:12:08.520She busted the Hunter Biden laptop story wide open, along with one of her colleagues over at Breitbart.
00:12:16.520She's a great lady and a great journalist, so to make fun of her looks or her talents by a piece of, well, I think you know what I think of, Hunter Biden.
00:12:28.460Hunter Biden's lawyers tried to sue me when I started to comment on his case, insisting that I preserve all my documents pretending to Hunter Biden,
00:12:35.420which would be none whatsoever other than what I read in the New York Post and Breitbart Online and other places.
00:12:43.160Famously, you'll remember that X, then known as Twitter, banned the New York Post from reporting that Hunter Biden's laptop contents were real.
00:12:54.260That shows you how far we've come under Elon Musk, where this information is not banned today.
00:13:00.220It's still, with its faults, X, formerly known as Twitter, is still the leading free speech app in the country.
00:13:06.780I say that not because I'm paid to say it, but because it's true.
00:13:10.400Elon Musk bought this company, and then he very forcefully handed over the evidence that the U.S. government intelligence agencies worked hand-in-gloved with the techies at Twitter
00:13:21.180to silence us, to cancel us, to limit us in our reach, to censor us in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
00:13:31.520So it is amazing that we've gotten to this point.
00:13:35.720Donald Trump is right about the economy.
00:13:38.160He knows that ultimately the things he's put in place are going to bring us a strong economy.
00:13:43.860And those who keep whining about the 2026 elections, what he calls panicans, they may be whistling another tune.
00:13:51.700I'm Roger Stone. This is The Roger Stone Show, and we'll be right back.
00:13:55.520The Stone Zone. Entertaining and informative.
00:14:06.160Well, the Trump administration has a fox in the henhouse.
00:14:10.420I think the president and his aides must remain on guard against subversive forces that are looking to undermine the president's agenda from within.
00:14:18.300Many of them are burrowed deep into federal bureaucracy, some of them in less high-profile jobs, where they hope they can slither their way without public recognition.
00:14:28.760One of these examples shocking is the SEC.
00:14:32.600I believe he is the director of enforcement, the number two position at the SEC, Sam Walden.
00:14:39.580Walden is a multi-time Biden-Harris donor, even donating to Kamala Harris just two days before the election day of 2024.
00:14:46.540Despite his open political advocacy for Democrats, he still masquerades as a neutral enforcer who stands up for the rule of law.
00:14:55.500But he was one of the key engineers of Operation Choke Point 2.0, policies that tried to treat cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and the alternative monetary system that has flourished in the world and under Donald Trump,
00:15:09.680claiming that certain elements that they were selling were securities, charging people for lacking a license to sell securities.
00:15:20.000Walden himself was one of the key architects of the Biden-era assault by then-chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler, against the entire crypto industry.
00:15:33.360Under Walden's enforcement regime, Gensler initiated the policy to debank crypto coin entrepreneurs and treat them as if they were selling drugs or weapons.
00:15:43.980President Trump, of course, has reversed these policies and talked about the important role that cryptocurrency and Bitcoin will play in the world's economic future as well as the country's economic future.
00:15:57.800But this is really extraordinary to learn that someone who is responsible for filing most of the most egregious lawsuits against crypto entrepreneurs,
00:16:11.800some of the most outrageous heavy-handed efforts to destroy crypto, is in the number two position in the Trump administration's SEC.
00:16:23.800And how this has happened, we don't know, but it's very easy to go online to look at his contributing pattern.
00:16:33.080It is extraordinarily clear that this person is a vicious partisan, and their role in Arctic Frost alone is problematic.
00:16:42.900Arctic Frost is the most extra-constitutional, illegal, politically and legally unbelievable operation by the government,
00:16:56.100using government authority and power to violate the constitutional rights of people like Donald Trump and myself.
00:17:04.820The idea that you would compile a list of people, just randomly conservative, Trump supporters, Republican and conservative organizations,
00:17:13.420that you would surveil all of them without probable cause, that you would go out of your way to try to frame them for crimes is beyond belief.
00:17:22.720And the underlying premise of Mueller's case, pardon me, of Smith's cases are absurd.
00:17:29.460Alternative electors are not prohibited by law.
00:17:33.880They have reached American history, forming an alternative elector slate.
00:17:38.200While there's ongoing litigation regarding the outcome of any given state election,
00:17:43.440saved Hawaii for John Kennedy in 1960, and is not in itself a crime.
00:17:48.260But spying on U.S. senators is unacceptable.
00:17:53.000There's growing evidence that Gina Haspel, at the CIA, spied on a House committee that was investigating what the CIA knew about the alleged Russian collusion,
00:18:03.780which she knew was fabricated but did nothing to stop and tell the man who appointed her.
00:18:09.320Gina Haspel, by the way, previously, John Brennan's top operative in London.
00:18:14.520I don't know who sold this to the president in his first term, but it was an error.
00:18:30.940On November 30th, Honduras held a presidential election.
00:18:36.720Two days before that, President Donald Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
00:18:46.620That's because the president examined the case against Hernandez, as I did, and saw that he was lynched using the same kind of tactics that Jack Smith and Robert Mueller tried to use on Donald Trump and set up on fabricated charges of drug trafficking.
00:19:06.280When, in fact, he was the president of Honduras, who signed an extradition treaty for drug traffickers.
00:19:14.380And the very drug traffickers that he agreed to extradite the United States ended up as the principal witnesses against him, all of them convicted drug traffickers, all of whom got a get out of jail free card.
00:19:31.180This was a politically motivated lynching with a political motivation to stop the Nationalist Party and to extend the neo, the narco Marxist regime of Xiomar Castro, who admits that she admired Fidel Castro.
00:19:51.000And they have now, it appears to me, lost this election.
00:19:55.040But first, I want to say this is the first time that President Hernandez and I have ever spoken.
00:21:31.580And you did a very important job that anybody who could speak about something like my case should have done in order to know what really happened.
00:21:47.120So, I really appreciate the way you handled this, because you did a research, you investigated all your team, and you know the situation in detail.
00:21:58.260And whoever knows my case in detail, they really know that I was wrongfully convicted.
00:22:05.520And that I was the one who, at that time, in Honduras, made the decision to confront the narco-trafficers, because nobody wanted to do it.
00:22:19.380Because they felt that they had been killing so many people who have tried.
00:22:24.740And also, they remember what happened in Colombia, the narco-terrorism at that time, when they were trying to extradite Pablo Escobar and the other narcos.
00:22:37.040And at one point, I told somebody in Congress, when I was a speaker of Congress in Honduras,
00:22:43.080knowing that eight out of ten cases of violence in Honduras are related to drug trafficking, if we don't do something,
00:22:57.260it's like there is no point of being here in Congress.
00:23:01.000At that time, in Sarah Stone, Honduras was the country with the highest murder rate in the planet.
00:23:07.320And I am the one of those people, if I know something, I cannot look the other way,
00:23:14.500because if I look the other way, it's because I made the decision of not doing anything.
00:23:22.280And almost a century, we didn't have any extradition at all between the United States and Honduras.
00:23:32.140Because I lead the process to amend our Constitution to create other very important legal instruments and policies to fight these criminals.
00:23:46.560And at the end, the Biden administration, the deep state, framed me.
00:23:52.360And they weaponized the justice system to put me in jail in order to let the bad guys free.
00:24:04.180But also, they did it because they wanted the political allies, the very radical left in Honduras, to become in power.
00:24:11.880Now that a lot of information is coming out, there are videos, there are recordings, documents linking the radical left party,
00:24:21.360who already lost the election in Honduras last Sunday.
