00:00:07.120
has served as a senior campaign aide to three republican presidents he is a new york times
00:00:11.760
best-selling author and a longtime friend and advisor of president donald trump as an outspoken
00:00:17.260
libertarian stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts spoken at countless venues and
00:00:22.300
lectured before the prestigious oxford political union and the cambridge union society due to his
00:00:27.920
four plus decades in the political and cultural arena stone has become a pop culture icon and now
00:00:36.060
welcome i'm roger stone and yes you are back in the stone zone well i've been in american politics for
00:00:48.200
about 45 years and i've never really experienced anything quite like the democrat national
00:00:55.000
convention i have always thought that kamala harris had a problem with extemporaneous speaking
00:01:02.720
as in she can't answer a simple question but i figured surely with the teleprompter they would
00:01:10.040
load her up with an uplifting inspirational and workable speech what we got instead was an incredible
00:01:18.240
litany of lies lie after lie donald trump wants to outlaw abortion and access to birth control
00:01:27.240
that's a lie i just use that as one example we have time here today to break down the others
00:01:34.660
of course the other big story is robert f kennedy jr all indications are that he is going to abandon his
00:01:43.940
bid for president and endorse donald trump this would be a cataclysmic blow to the democrats and
00:01:51.980
a huge boon to the trump campaign here to join me to talk about this and many other things is my good
00:02:00.940
friend and colleague troy smith the editor-in-chief of slingshot.news troy welcome back to the zone
00:02:08.340
roger as always it's honor to be in the stone zone and i have to say that shirt is something else i have
00:02:14.140
to ask you where you got that and where you first started wearing that because i've never seen a
00:02:17.440
shirt like that before well this is uh this is an old shirt probably older than you are uh it was
00:02:24.980
made for me in britain back when i used to have made a clothing custom made can no longer afford that
00:02:32.120
but uh if you take care of quality garments uh they will last you a lifetime if you look in my book
00:02:39.020
stone's rules there's actually a lot of advice about that i should also say that george papadopoulos
00:02:45.720
is going to join us today in the stone zone george uh was uh as you know a policy aide to president
00:02:52.220
donald trump's 2016 campaign uh and he was also the target of an outrageous witch hunt in which they
00:03:00.200
framed him for a non-existent crime george is a strong support of the president and he's got a
00:03:07.600
lot he wants to talk about a lot i want to talk to him about so later in the program george papadopoulos
00:03:14.400
joins us troy last night uh this is hard to i mean these people are out of touch with reality do they
00:03:22.460
really believe that they can convince the american people that joe biden was never actually president i
00:03:29.740
mean kamala harris has never had any responsibility for the current conditions in america in fact now
00:03:35.800
she's the answer she's going to seal the border she's going to lower prices she's going to make sure
00:03:42.120
everyone can afford a house where has she been for three and a half plus years if they pull this off
00:03:50.840
which i don't think they will do it would be the greatest psyop in american political history
00:03:57.300
i am 100 and agree with you there roger and i think that the american people are looking at this
00:04:04.320
uh convention and they're kind of looking at the people inside and saying how disconnected from
00:04:09.680
reality can these people possibly be and i think chris cuomo you know i'm not a fan of the guy but he
00:04:14.380
put it to he put it uh really i think best in a video that he posted to his social media pages
00:04:19.140
where he highlighted that the booths at the at the dnc the the high dollar boost were selling for half a
00:04:24.700
million dollars so you have a group of billionaires millionaires people who are very well off a kind
00:04:30.660
of preaching that everything is okay everything's doing fine and that's because roger the voters of
00:04:35.400
the dnc uh the people who support the democrat party now have become the trust trust fund kids and the
00:04:41.920
kids that have money in the stock market and they're not actually working and people who have
00:04:46.460
investments are not actually wage earning people those are the people that are voting for the democrat
00:04:51.260
party nowadays and it's actually flipped where the people who clock in and clock out every day the
00:04:56.300
people who actually work for a living those are republicans now and they support president trump
00:05:00.920
and i think those people in particular uh who vastly outnumber the trust fund kids and the people with
00:05:06.660
their money in the stock market uh look at this kind of uh deluge of misinformation disinformation
00:05:13.020
whatever you want to call it from the dnc is a tremendous insult uh roger they're pretending that
00:05:18.040
our problems aren't real they're pretending that the economic struggles of the everyday american
00:05:22.780
uh that are evident in in everything from credit card debt uh to to uh defaults on mortgages to to the
00:05:29.640
inflation crisis uh to the prices of everyday items you can see the evidence of the suffering of the
00:05:35.440
american people in every aspect of everyday life and yet these people refuse to acknowledge it and they
00:05:41.560
want to make this election as you said time and time again roger they want to make it about january 6
00:05:46.660
and abortion and mainly abortion seems to be the thing that they are hinging on more and more and
00:05:52.300
it's amazing to see tim waltz uh give a speech yesterday in which he applauded ivf said trump will
00:05:58.500
attack ivf when trump actually released videos when the alabama legislator came after ivf you could say
00:06:05.600
came after ivf with the supreme court uh ruling and they said oh we're going to basically uh uh we're
00:06:11.800
we're going to outlaw ivf in the state of alabama president trump immediately put out a video
00:06:16.560
calling on the alabama legislators to protect ivf rights which they then in turn did so alabama's
00:06:23.400
ivf is is protected ivf is protected across the country president trump has urged republicans across
00:06:29.540
the country to pass legislation uh to protect ivf yet the democrats want to run on trump will take
00:06:35.760
away your ivf another thing we're seeing roger is a national abortion ban the democrats say that over
00:06:41.840
and over again last night there's going to be a national abortion ban there's going to be a
00:06:46.340
national abortion ban when trump has stated again and again that that's not his plan that's not what
00:06:51.760
he wants to do we have a small clip of kamala harris talking about abortion and lying about president
00:06:57.160
trump's policies i want to get your thoughts on this because complete distortion especially when it
00:07:01.660
comes to abortion uh during kamala harris's speech let's roll out and get roger's thoughts
00:07:05.500
as a part of his agenda he and his allies would limit access to birth control ban medication abortion
00:07:15.520
and enact a nationwide abortion ban with or without congress and get this get this he plans to create
00:07:27.540
a national anti-abortion coordinator and force states to report on women's miscarriages and abortions
00:07:44.720
yeah that's i checked this morning by the way that's a bald-faced lie that's like totally made up
00:07:56.340
so kind of like tim waltz's combat uh uh service completely made up uh you know it's going to be
00:08:04.420
very interesting because this is going to be a test of the old media versus the new media in many ways
00:08:10.440
uh watching people on even social media fawning over her speech mike murphy used to be a big
00:08:18.400
republican consultant started at the national conservative political action committee but now is
00:08:24.920
so interested in kissing ass with all of his hollywood uh establishment media buddies saying
00:08:33.220
what a great speech no mike you've lost your mind it was a terrible speech uh this isn't this was a
00:08:40.160
really an opportunity in all honesty since she's never actually spoken to the people in any sustained
00:08:46.940
basis to introduce herself to america but the the the speech was mostly about her mother
00:08:55.080
which underlined the fact for all black americans that she's in fact an indian
00:09:00.580
uh and uh that is news to some of them uh then it was a harangue and an attack on donald trump
00:09:09.460
uh but uh and she she seems to once again try to have it both ways on the middle east
00:09:17.040
although you could see her trying to do some damage control uh regarding jewish voters and israel
00:09:25.360
uh then the phony praise of joe biden who she you know was involved deeply in the coup to force him
00:09:33.600
uh aside i thought she had an opportunity for a truly uplifting speech only because she was on the
00:09:40.780
teleprompters uh but i think she missed that opportunity the real question of course here is
00:09:46.640
will there be any bounce in in the polls uh the republicans got a little bounce uh uh i think that
00:09:54.380
the days when you expected the conventions to have more impact was when media was more limited so
00:10:02.860
if you were watching television during the democrat national convention there were only
00:10:08.220
three networks uh later on two major cable stations you didn't have the alternative of of
00:10:16.060
the internet uh and therefore i think information is so diffuse uh it'll be interesting to see what the
00:10:23.180
impact of this is uh obviously all eyes on phoenix arizona today robert f kennedy jr is in phoenix
00:10:33.180
donald trump is in phoenix still no formal confirmation from either one of them uh that kennedy will
00:10:41.180
abandon his bid for president uh and support trump but we do know that late yesterday he filed the
00:10:48.300
papers to remove his name from the arizona ballot uh you know robert kennedy is an ardent anti-communist
00:10:57.980
just like his father just like his uncle he understands the dangers of communism he's a he's a health
00:11:06.620
freedom advocate i have personally sent his book on dr fauci to dozens of my non-believing friends who
00:11:15.020
wanted to believe in the vaccination uh for covet 19 uh he's strong on sealing the border he's opposed
00:11:23.820
to the endless foreign wars and shipping billions more uh to uh ukraine uh i think he is uh has more in
00:11:33.100
common with trump uh than than not i don't agree with him and either does donald trump on the question of
00:11:40.780
abortion where he seems to be on for abortion on demand uh and uh of course the idea of climate
00:11:48.540
change is an absurdity i mean we do have climate change it changes four times a year all right uh
00:11:55.420
we're waiting for george papadopoulos uh to join us uh he will be here shortly george as uh uh is a
00:12:04.060
stand-up guy to say the least we've become very good friends that's what happens to you when you're
00:12:10.380
uh targeted uh by an all-powerful federal government uh he has a an amazing story himself to tell
00:12:19.500
about how he was entrapped and set up by the fbi but we'll get to that in a moment let's continue here
00:12:26.300
uh troy what else you have us from last night's convention well roger we have several other clips
00:12:31.900
from kamala harris's speech uh let's just cue this one up right now uh the the running threat
00:12:36.860
and theme that we see on msnbc and the democrat party what they put out they say oh trump's cozying
00:12:41.980
up to dictators um and as you've pointed out on this show as president trump has pointed out
00:12:46.300
when trump inherited the north korea so which situation from sat in the oval office with president
00:12:51.420
barack obama and barack obama told him that the biggest threat to the united states of america
00:12:56.140
was the missile capabilities of north korea that north korea was the biggest
00:13:00.380
looming threat to the united states and president trump said what is he saying what is what is kim
00:13:04.940
jong-un saying and obama said i don't know we're not talking to him and i know and trump immediately
00:13:09.820
said okay well we got to stop that we have to talk to him so he talked to him he actually became the
00:13:13.820
first president to step into north korea which is a historical thing that nobody really talks about
00:13:18.940
uh but the left takes that uh and and his relations with other countries where he negotiates with them
00:13:24.380
where he goes to india and he tries to strengthen u.s relations there oh he's cozying up to
00:13:29.340
dictators trump's cozying up to dictators this was put out again last night by kamala harris
00:13:39.900
and know this i will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our
00:13:50.220
interests against iran and iran-backed terrorists i will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like kim
00:13:57.900
jong-un who are rooting for trump who are rooting for trump
00:14:05.900
because you know they know they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors
00:14:15.180
they know trump won't hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself
00:14:21.580
and as president i will never waver in defense of america's security and ideals because in the
00:14:33.020
enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny i know where i stand and i know where the united states
00:14:41.740
of america's security and the united states of america's security and the united states of america's
00:14:57.660
uh just to point out of course uh after donald trump's uh historic uh outreach to uh the north koreans uh
00:15:05.740
the little dictator uh put his nuclear weapons development program on hold that's called peacemaking
00:15:13.260
uh the idea that uh that they would never stand down uh what about their record in afghanistan uh
00:15:20.220
there's a perfect example of all they did was wreak carnage and 13 americans lost their lives
00:15:26.540
uh this is going to be a completely revisionist campaign she's going to revise history over uh
00:15:33.180
and over again plus why does she seem so angry she she seems really really angry in any event if i were
00:15:40.780
her i wouldn't be talking about favors if you know what i mean uh george papadopoulos uh joins us now
00:15:47.900
in the stone zone george uh welcome to the stone zone great to be with you today thanks a lot for
00:15:54.380
having me roger george what a good looking suit that is wow you're looking good my friend i had
00:16:02.140
to dress up for the occasion i'm i'm here talking with the maestro so you know you're the fashion
00:16:07.740
icon of this movement so i had to put on my sunday's finest here on a friday wow you look great you look
00:16:13.900
great so george i'm sure you had a chance to watch some of that democrat uh national uh convention
00:16:20.780
speech uh speeches last night i don't know if you saw waltz the night before that uh particularly in
00:16:27.660
the area of foreign policy which is of course your expertise uh it seemed to me like kamal was trying
00:16:33.340
to have it both ways on the middle east which is the entire policy of this administration what do you
00:16:39.660
think yeah roger look this entire thing was really as astonishing as it was predictable right they
00:16:46.060
basically obfuscated demurred and tried to rewrite history uh as you mentioned uh they actually have
00:16:52.860
really no uh substantial uh foreign policy successes to actually run on so they're just basically trying
00:17:01.180
to uh lambast trump with these uh bizarre ad hominem attacks uh to suggest uh that everything that the
00:17:08.380
democrats have done over the three and a half past years uh in foreign policy economic policy and domestic
00:17:14.220
issues has been a resounding success even though uh simply looking at the polls and how people's lives
00:17:21.180
are today versus four years ago that's a complete and uh absolute lie uh but when it comes to foreign
00:17:27.420
policy you're absolutely right they have this basically the schizophrenic approach to the israeli
00:17:31.820
palestinian conflict which was really the most sensitive issue at this convention there was mass protests
00:17:37.820
uh especially among muslim american arab americans palestinian americans um that were basically
00:17:44.300
condemning kamala harris for her uh approach towards the israel-palestine conflict and then you have
00:17:51.980
american jews who also fear the kamala harris and biden administration for their oscillation towards how
00:17:59.580
they view netanyahu the israeli government and the future of this relationship so uh they really have shot
00:18:06.940
themselves in the foot and when it comes to this particular issue i don't think they're going to
00:18:11.260
sway any voters so they went towards what they have what they know best and that is emotions they tried
00:18:17.580
to strike up fervor and emotions bring out the celebrities bring out the djs the fireworks and
00:18:23.980
distract them with their bread and circus instead of focusing on substantive issues and that's why i said
00:18:30.780
it was really as astonishing as it was predictable you could have seen the strategy from a mile away
00:18:37.500
uh i think very very well put uh troy do you have a question for george papadopoulos
00:18:44.620
absolutely sir mr papadopoulos i just want to say you put out so much great stuff on your twitter
00:18:48.300
account i encourage everybody to go check that out and i'm i'm glued to it all the time i have my
00:18:52.140
notifications set and a video that you share constantly i think is important to bring up is
00:18:57.180
one of barack obama visiting 10 downing street just a few months ago um and i wanted to ask you uh you
00:19:03.900
know this meeting kind of looked insidious i think on its face but looking at what's transpired since
00:19:09.500
he went to 10 downing street not just in this country politically but in the world i mean it's
00:19:14.700
pretty troubling so i want to roll this video and get your thoughts on on what this meeting was about
00:19:18.940
and uh how it has affected what has transpired since
00:19:35.500
uh yeah it seems to me that that uh is a bit odd for some reason of course uh former secretary of
00:19:51.020
state john carrey during the entire trump administration was allowed to continue uh his
00:19:56.940
efforts to restart the iranian arms deal which is a clear violation of the logan act you can't conduct
00:20:04.940
your own personal foreign policy uh now you have barack obama visiting the prime minister as you saw
00:20:12.380
there we don't of course know the substance of that conversation but it comes around the time that it
00:20:20.380
was revealed uh that john brennan the uh muslim convert who is uh the former cia director
00:20:30.380
had pulled put both uh you and i george and a number of others on a list of those that he sent
00:20:39.260
to the so-called five eyes the english-speaking nations intelligence agencies to uh to surveil us
00:20:46.860
uh that way he would have deniable plausible deniability he could say well he he didn't do it
00:20:53.180
they did it this of course was the underlying the underpinning um move of the entire russian collusion
00:21:02.700
hoax so it would be worth it for our viewers of our viewers george for you take a minute and just kind
00:21:10.540
of walk through the short version of of what they how they set you up and what they tried to do to you
00:21:19.660
yeah no thank you for that roger and like thanks for presenting that video it's very important for
00:21:24.060
people to understand uh that this was not simply uh a domestic fbi investigation that was launched by
00:21:31.100
two uh rogue agents uh peter struck and lisa page but that you're absolutely right roger it actually
00:21:37.500
initiated abroad uh reportedly in london uh where i was based uh in the first couple months when i was
00:21:43.580
on the trump campaign in in 2016 and this report uh i think it was the new york post that um delivered
00:21:50.060
it or as matt taibbi uh suggested that the cia along with mi6 meaning british intelligence and other
00:21:57.580
u.s allied intelligence groups basically concocted an operation against the trump campaign that started in
00:22:04.540
march of 2016 it could have possibly started even earlier in order to bump into various associates
00:22:10.860
like yourself myself donald trump himself general flynn others in order to to create a pretext a
00:22:18.060
fabricated pretext i should say to then launch a fake illegal fbi investigation that happened later
00:22:24.700
in the summer of 2016 so when this meeting happened between obama and the british prime minister who has
00:22:32.060
recently resigned it was just a week after this report came out that suggested that brennan and obama
00:22:39.100
put the brits up to it in order to launch this operation so i don't think this was a random event
00:22:45.980
that obama was out in london for and also let's go back in history a little bit there was also reports
00:22:52.140
that italy the italian government under the socialist uh renzi government in 2016 was also involved
00:22:58.460
in potentially collaborating with obama just like it was reported that the british were what did obama
00:23:03.900
do while trump was also president he went and had this bizarre secret meeting with renzi while trump
00:23:09.820
was president so we see this uh disturbing pattern of behavior whether it's john carrey or president obama
00:23:16.620
himself who are meeting with foreign dignitaries in this case allies versus john carrey who was meeting
00:23:22.540
with the iranians for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to subvert that either the
00:23:28.300
administration of donald trump or his campaign and for no other purpose you know i think this is why
00:23:35.660
you have the current hysteria among some democrats there is no statute of limitations on the crime of
00:23:43.900
treason and there's a number of people in the obama administration who very clearly engaged in treasonous
00:23:50.700
activity now they say oh it's revenge trump wants revenge no all we'd like to see is the end of the
00:23:58.060
two-tiered justice system all we'd like to see is equal protection under the law so in my case i was
00:24:04.460
charged with lying to congress in my voluntary testimony despite the fact that none of the inaccuracies
00:24:12.460
in my testimony were either willful nor did they hide any underlying crime muller was forced to actually
00:24:19.980
admit that in his final unredacted report but buzz speed of all people had to go to federal court to
00:24:27.820
force the justice department to disgorge that report uh it is uh i think therefore those uh while barack
00:24:37.500
obama himself may have presidential immunity uh and joe biden it's an interesting question i don't know
00:24:45.020
if he has immunity for acts while he was vice president i'm not a lawyer it's an interesting
00:24:49.980
question but john brennan has no immunity uh james comey has no immunity andrew mccabe has no immunity
00:24:59.580
lisa page has no immunity uh this list goes on and on so what they fear is not revenge what they fear is
00:25:08.220
justice they fear justice they ruined lives uh over this lie uh and there is no question that they knew
00:25:18.940
from the beginning the origins of the steel dossier andrew weissman had been the general
00:25:25.420
counsel to the fbi he knew then that the steel dossier was a fraud uh he also knew that hillary
00:25:32.700
clinton had paid for it uh they also knew that i'm sorry i saw matt taib he had a an ex space on this
00:25:40.860
the other night there was no online hack of the democrat national committee i challenge anyone to
00:25:47.660
prove otherwise uh the fbi admitted in my trial that they had never investigated the computer servers
00:25:56.620
at the dnc that they had relied entirely on a report from a company called crowd strikes uh but at the
00:26:05.500
time of my trial we were never furnished the sworn testimony of sean henry who is the head of cyber
00:26:13.740
security uh at the crowd strikes in which he said well first of all it was a draft memo and second of
00:26:20.380
all no it didn't really contain any proof that the russians hacked the dnc uh and of course the judge
00:26:29.820
would also not allow me to uh produce expert witnesses such as bill binney uh the former counter
00:26:37.900
intelligence i.t expert from the cia or any forensic evidence which would have been relatively easy to
00:26:45.340
prove that there was never any online hack strangely enough after the fbi was embarrassed uh the uh one
00:26:54.460
of the prosecutors in my case jonathan kravis filed a very very rare uh sir reply with the court in which
00:27:04.060
he said we have evidence that the russians hacked the dnc beyond the crowd strikes report which is a lie
00:27:13.420
and of course they never furnished anything of the kind george are you uh are you optimistic uh after
00:27:22.060
last night i mean you have some really i think important developments here first of all the selection
00:27:28.060
of tim waltz which i argue is a mistake that guy doesn't look stable enough to be president and he
00:27:35.420
he jumps around like he's on some kind of sugar high uh he is a radical progressive he may be more
00:27:43.180
radical than kamala if that's possible uh then you have this convention which i think was relatively flat
00:27:51.100
uh sure we got their greatest hits uh barack obama calling for civility in our politics and then
00:27:59.580
attacking donald trump personally about uh the size of his privates uh very classy for a former president
00:28:07.420
uh that hillary clinton who remains one of the most despised women in the entire country uh who
00:28:16.460
donald trump was kind enough not to send to prison i mean there there are more than sufficient crimes
00:28:23.020
at the clinton foundation to have charged her but well donald trump wanted to heal the nation he wanted
00:28:29.260
to move forward uh and he didn't prosecute her certainly could have prosecuted her husband as well
00:28:37.260
but didn't for the good of the country they of course did not return that favor uh and then
00:28:44.300
there's today's news in which troy and i both believe based on our research that rfk is going
00:28:52.140
to uh endorse uh the president uh president trump uh so how are you feeling about the campaign today george
00:29:01.420
yeah i think that uh the dnc was just basically a bread and circus campaign and that's why they uh
00:29:08.060
so much invested in the celebrities and the djs the fireworks um the the various speakers that they
00:29:16.300
brought on from michelle to barack um and and i think uh barack uh you know i think the reason that
00:29:23.340
he is behind this efforts uh to get harris up there is simply because he has a vested interest in assuring
00:29:30.060
that the potential crimes that he might or might not have been involved with while he was president and
00:29:34.460
biden was vice president ever get exposed uh there's also the reason why he subverted joe from
00:29:40.780
within because they viewed joe as a loose and an inconvenience a person who was feeling the heat
00:29:47.820
from the various investigations led by jamie comer and others in congress that exposed the bryden crime
00:29:53.580
syndicate and this is exactly why i've been so vocal about pressure and investigations they actually do
00:29:59.660
have an impact when conducted thoroughly and properly but for some reason it seems that the
00:30:04.140
gop just wants to completely abandon any pursuit of anything illegal that obama himself might have
00:30:10.060
ever been involved in now why is this important regarding harris when harris actually ran fairly
00:30:15.500
and squarely in a primary she barely registered as an asterisk tulsi gabbard absolutely decimated her
00:30:21.020
record on live tv during one of the debates and that was the end of kamala harris she is basically a
00:30:26.460
creature of institutional politics out of california she's been modeled and coddled throughout her
00:30:31.580
entire career she actually has no real substance or policies or records to really run on so she is
00:30:38.620
going to have people like obama and the celebrities prop her up up until this debate we'll see if she
00:30:44.300
even goes and debates trump so i think if they do go after obama and diminish his credibility if there
00:30:49.660
is something to look out after that will definitely help trump because obama has certainly invested
00:30:55.580
himself in this campaign to attack trump now regarding uh walls you're absolutely right
00:31:01.420
i believe they picked walls because they didn't want a jewish american person on the ticket because
00:31:06.780
they felt meaning shapiro out of pennsylvania is they felt that this wouldn't resonate with the extreme
00:31:11.900
left and the various groups that are very hostile to jewish americans or israel or the u.s relationship
00:31:18.460
with that country so i think the most important thing moving forward is the following one let's see what
00:31:25.020
uh what uh what jfk jr does uh today rfk jr is he going to endorse trump is he going to be on uh the
00:31:32.540
debate on the uh during on the rally with trump today and if he is what is he going to tell the american
00:31:38.540
people regarding a potential endorsement is it going to be an overt endorsement a tacit endorsement how can
00:31:44.860
this person be involved in a potential trump administration based on his attempt to eviscerate the deep state
00:31:52.540
himself and his anti-vax stance then moving forward to the debate i think this is going to be trump's
00:31:59.900
one and only chance to expose harris for the fraud she is in front of the american people because
00:32:05.820
throughout this entire campaign she has exhibited exactly what biden did last the last election the
00:32:11.020
basement strategy she's been modeled and coddled once again and she's going to continue to be modeled and
00:32:16.300
coddled by the democrat establishment because she has no substance to run on trump can take her out
00:32:21.580
during the debate that's where i think this entire election is going to rest on so depending on today
00:32:27.580
until that debate trump has to see what rfk jr is going to do and how he's going to attack paris at
00:32:34.220
the debate and once he does those two things successfully roger i think this is going to be a win
00:32:41.180
you're i think you're absolutely right about the debate george look her greatest single vulnerability
00:32:46.780
is kind of obvious even though nbc and abc are trying to say that she wasn't put in charge of
00:32:53.660
border policy of course she was we have the the videos uh but you can already see her answer when
00:33:00.700
you accuse her of being part of the administration that left in my opinion 20 plus illegals into the
00:33:08.060
country their response is well you had a chance to vote for a bipartisan bill that would have fixed it
00:33:13.660
uh but you you oppose that bill because you wanted to keep the issue alive for politics the sad truth
00:33:21.020
is the bill they refer to the the the lankford bill uh would have allowed up to two million illegals in
00:33:29.420
the country automatically every year didn't solve the problem in any way but you can already see that
00:33:36.780
that that is her canned response uh i i wonder whether we will have more than one debate because
00:33:43.740
i have the feeling after she gets exposed in the one debate she will not want another debate and then
00:33:51.340
there's another interesting phenomena that will kick in uh if she has a bad debate well then she will
00:33:57.420
desperately need the free press but the reporters i talk to those who are not crooked there's a few uh they
00:34:06.620
are increasingly angry all the reporters are increasingly angry about her unwillingness to grant any one-on-one
00:34:14.620
interviews uh her unwillingness to have a full-blown press conference so uh she's going to need those
00:34:22.220
reporters if she has a bad bait to try to debate to try to do damage control uh and she may not get the
00:34:30.060
help that she needs uh this is one of those races where you have some large uh really uh impactful
00:34:39.660
events that could change the course of the campaign robert kennedy's potential endorsement uh of trump
00:34:47.100
today's a perfect example of that now there's a lot of drama going on around this debate i'm told this
00:34:54.140
endorsement uh should it happen uh i'm told that robert kennedy's wife cheryl heinz the the actress uh
00:35:03.340
who is far more progressive than he is far further to the left is opposed to the endorsement of trump
00:35:10.300
i guess she won't be treated well in hollywood if that happens uh but uh i think uh nicole shanahan
00:35:18.060
who really seems to have been red-pilled by this entire process uh is reportedly in favor of uh of
00:35:25.180
of a unity effort with trump to try to save the country uh we'll we'll see at two o'clock uh phoenix
00:35:33.180
time i guess it is rfk has a press conference uh or i should say a televised address and then of course
00:35:41.100
there is a trump rally tonight uh in phoenix and trump has announced that he will have a very special
00:35:48.540
surprise guest so we will see momentarily how that plays out we're going to take a quick
00:35:55.180
commercial break here and then we'll be right back with george papadopoulos and my seatmate here
00:36:01.900
troy smith folks i'm putting in ridiculously long hours uh trying to do the stone zone for you every
00:36:10.460
single day turning out uh print journalism at my substack site also at stonezone.com which you can
00:36:19.260
go to and subscribe absolutely free and then of course doing a three-hour live radio show on 77 w abc
00:36:27.980
radio it's a huge amount of work and i admit to you uh that i don't always have the opportunity to eat
00:36:34.860
right in fact a lot of the time i'm eating on the run so i started looking into supplements that would
00:36:42.300
get me all of the vitamins and minerals uh that i need but i wanted to get them from natural sources
00:36:49.580
that's why i discovered a product called field of greens now be very careful because there's a lot of
00:36:56.940
these combined fruit and vegetable products out there on the market but they are not all the same
00:37:04.460
field of greens is whole organic fruits and vegetables there are no extracts there's nothing
00:37:10.380
here lab made it is completely pure uh and just one scoop of day a day which you could mix with water
00:37:18.860
or juice feed your body with fruits and vegetables that are medically chosen to support your heart your
00:37:25.580
vital organs and your immune system i felt an immediate difference as soon as i began taking field of
00:37:33.100
greens because well i won't uh endorse or promote any product that i don't myself believe in and
00:37:40.300
haven't tried and i must tell you this has given me steady energy throughout the day i don't get that
00:37:47.500
afternoon crash that you get when you use those energy drinks or have a quadruple espresso which i do from
00:37:55.020
time to time uh my sleep is much better it's much consistent i feel uh overall much healthier uh and
00:38:05.260
i have more energy uh both creative energy and physical energies hard to get out there for that run hard
00:38:13.180
to go to the gym uh given the hours i'm putting in i don't think i could do any of it without uh field of

00:39:07.740
you are getting the nutrients you need on a daily basis thank you let's go back to our program uh
00:39:13.500
we're here with george papadopoulos who i have high hopes george that if the president is re-elected
00:39:20.780
that you will be a member of his administration i think you would bring uh important uh qualities not
00:39:27.100
only your loyalty because you uh and your wife have gone through hell uh but remained loyal to the
00:39:34.300
president but also your foreign policy expertise let me ask you this question because it's one that
00:39:41.420
i'm not really qualified to answer but you are i was asked this yesterday do you really think
00:39:48.780
that president trump could resolve the russia ukraine problem uh through negotiations relatively easily
00:39:57.900
uh that's a very uh thank you for that roger uh look regarding a very intractable conflict uh like
00:40:05.500
russia ukraine the only way that that's going to be solved is that the u.s negotiates from a position
00:40:10.460
of strength the u.s right now under biden harris is not negotiating from a position of strength america is
00:40:16.540
more divided than ever the economy is in a downward spiral inflation was at a 40-year high just a couple of months
00:40:24.140
back and you don't have the united states being in that exporter of energy like it was under the trump
00:40:30.220
administration now why is this so important it's about it's all about taking a page out of the reagan
00:40:35.260
playbook just like trump did peace through strength when america is strong the world is more secure and
00:40:41.660
stable what the united states has to do is just basically go back to the trump one administration
00:40:47.660
policies that is revitalize the u.s energy renaissance deliver natural gas and oil to our european allies
00:40:56.300
including ukraine wean them off russian oil and natural gas which accounts for over 30 percent of
00:41:01.820
the russian budget make nato pay its fair share bolster nato's defenses with their own budgets which
00:41:08.940
i'm currently on the european continent it's an extremely rich continent right now they do have the
00:41:13.820
resources to bolster their own defense once that those two factors happen then the united states
00:41:20.540
can bring zelinski and putin to the negotiating table say this is what we expect out of you this
00:41:25.980
is what's going to happen and if not then you're not going to get what you want and you're not going
00:41:30.860
to get what you want and that's something that i think moving forward both putin and zelinski know
00:41:36.300
they expect it from trump and that's why there are already discussions about a peace deal even before
00:41:41.340
this election is over uh it seems to me that the key to this is just having the united states uh stick
00:41:50.060
to the the budapest memorandum and the minsk accords in which we agreed not to push ukraine into nato
00:41:59.100
not to mount nato missiles aimed at russia that that's really uh one of the areas where i think robert
00:42:06.780
kennedy's been particularly articulate that's what this war is really about the idea that that putin
00:42:13.900
has territorial claims on all of russia and then he's going to take poland and he's going to take
00:42:19.260
france and he's going to take germany this is an absurdity we're violating two uh unilateral multinational
00:42:27.580
treaties that we signed uh that seems to be uh the the nub of the problem here putin has said it over
00:42:36.780
and over again that that is his that is his line in the sand yet uh antony blinken announced that they
00:42:43.500
intended to move uh ukraine into nato in to in september which to me is a it's an almost almost an open
00:42:53.340
invitation uh to world war three troy your thoughts or questions for george absolutely george i have
00:43:01.420
another clip that i wanted to play for you because i think this all ties in you know the the people in
00:43:05.580
charge of this country right now they seem very eager to get us into wars they want us in conflicts
00:43:10.940
and uh one of the ways that they can keep us in these conflicts is by stopping donald trump um if he's
00:43:16.220
elected or you know even from getting elected and one of the ways they did this last time george as you
00:43:21.180
know roger you were part of this too um of the group that was surveilled you know they were surveilling
00:43:25.900
people over and over again and and we call this crossfire hurricane and you posted a video several
00:43:31.260
times um of of elise stefanik in congress representative elise stefanik talking about the possibility of
00:43:38.380
there being actually a crossfire hurricane 2.0 and the idea that they may actually be spying on people
00:43:43.900
like roger people like you george people uh in the trump movement and maybe trump himself heading
00:43:49.020
into this next election just as they did last time so i want to play that clip and george and
00:43:53.740
roger get your thoughts on the possibility of this whole thing repeating itself again heading into the
00:43:59.180
2024 election in front of this very committee in an open session your predecessor jim comey testified
00:44:04.940
that he did not follow the proper protocol regarding the notify notification of congress of the opening
00:44:09.900
of the crossfire hurricane that will be the counterintelligence investigation into president
00:44:13.980
trump in 2016. to address this illegal abuse of power by the fbi this committee included direction
00:44:20.780
to the fbi in the iaa requiring notification to congressional leadership of any counter intel
00:44:27.260
investigation into a federal candidate for office is there any counterintelligence investigation into
00:44:34.860
uh there's no investigation that i could confirm here no is there is there a counterintelligence
00:44:57.100
investigation again i'm not confirming any investigation into either candidate are you
00:45:01.820
aware that you're required by the iaa to notify congress of any counterintelligence investigation
00:45:06.860
and we will comply with the law have you already complied with the law has there been a notification
00:45:11.020
i believe we have been in compliance with the law you believe we you have been or has there been a
00:45:15.580
notification to congress of any counterintelligence investigation of a federal candidate i believe we
00:45:22.140
have complied with the law has there been a counter intel assessment conducted on either president
00:45:28.780
biden or president trump again there's no assessment that i would confirm here in any way i believe we
00:45:35.660
have been in compliance with the law how about on an immediate family member and by that i mean spouses
00:45:41.340
or children of either president biden or president trump again i'm not in the business of confirming
00:45:48.140
especially not in open hearings assessments or anything like that uh when it comes to counterintelligence
00:45:53.100
matters so you will confirm in the classified setting when we ask you this question of whether
00:45:57.820
there's a counterintelligence investigation because you are aware that according to the iaa
00:46:02.300
you are required by law to notify congress of any counterintelligence investigation not just for
00:46:07.340
presidential candidates but any federal candidate we will comply with the law so you will answer
00:46:11.660
this in the classified hearing later today we'll comply with the law and what's your understanding of
00:46:16.220
the law there's a whole series of oversight requirements that we have related to
00:46:21.820
counterintelligence matters i'm not going to try to go specifically the notification of congress of a
00:46:26.460
counterintelligence investigation onto a federal candidate how do you what is your understanding
00:46:30.700
of the law again i would want to refer to the lawyers to make sure that i'm appropriately complying
00:46:35.420
with it but i can tell you we're going to comply with the law and my understanding is we have been
00:46:39.820
is your assessment that you're required to notify congress of any counterintelligence investigation
00:46:44.220
into any federal candidate i would again i'm going to defer to the lawyers as to the precision of that
00:46:48.860
you're the director of the fbi they report to you what is your understanding of the requirement in the iaa
00:46:57.020
we're going to comply with the law including whatever's in the iaa
00:47:01.820
in front of this you know this is why i love at least stefanik she really is a bulldog uh you can see
00:47:09.500
how he uh evaded those questions a lot of speculation in the media uh about now about uh hacking or uh
00:47:19.020
internet intrusions by the iranians i have no evidence of that but i've certainly read about it
00:47:28.300
this is uh i think uh fairly disturbing uh it is absolutely clear to me that if kennedy endorses trump
00:47:37.420
and trump's chances of winning are bolstered well then the apoplexy and the hysteria of the deep state
00:47:45.500
will get even worse uh and as they demonstrated in 2020 probably 2016 uh through 2020 they're capable of
00:47:55.740
absolutely anything so in a way that clip was very chilling george your thoughts yeah look i think that's
00:48:04.620
the reason why trump reportedly isn't taking intelligence briefings uh while a candidate
00:48:09.340
this this time around because he simply can't trust uh these people and they've proven to be
00:48:13.980
untrustworthy you just look to see in 2016 2020 you have exhibit a and exhibit b in u.s intelligence
00:48:21.580
putting their finger on both the truth and our democratic process and attempting to interfere subtly
00:48:28.620
with our democracy and our uh and then and our functioning as a republic just look at crossfire
00:48:34.380
hurricane looking look at the cia bumping into into all of us in 2016 then moving forward because they
00:48:40.940
were not held accountable for that egregious malfeasance uh in 2016 and you had people like william
00:48:46.780
barr who prevented john durham from going all the way and exposing the conspiracy that was uh perpetrated
00:48:53.900
against the american people they did it again roger they willfully suppressed the hunter biden laptop
00:49:00.220
story in 2020 calling it russian disinformation and that arguably was one of the key factors that
00:49:05.740
tilted the last election to biden now we're in a new election season right now you have fbi director ray
00:49:12.460
on public record saying that he's basically demurring and not going to answer unequivocally whether trump
00:49:18.940
or biden now harris is under investigation will be under investigation if anybody in his or her circle
00:49:25.660
is under investigation that leads to one logical conclusion that they're going to spy once again on
00:49:30.780
everyone you've seen this recent report against yourself roger where you're uh where your telecommunications
00:49:37.020
apparently were hacked by foreign actors that's happened to me in the past uh and uh i think based on
00:49:43.820
what you said regarding how trump maneuvers over the next couple weeks especially with rfk junior
00:49:50.700
and potentially him joining forces with trump and trump getting louder and louder about what he's
00:49:56.460
likely going to do to the deep state especially of who he picks as fbi director his attorney general his
00:50:02.300
cia director director of national intelligence potentially his secretary of defense then these
00:50:07.660
people who have a vested interest in maintaining power and keeping trump out of office might go to
00:50:13.580
new lengths to keep him out of office whether that's spying once again whether that's a potential
00:50:19.740
threat to his life like he just had about a month ago i'm not saying that our agencies were involved in
00:50:25.100
that but he did have a threat to his life and he wasn't adequately protected by the secret service as
00:50:30.300
he should have been this is why i think trump's security and is paramount right now and why that should
00:50:36.300
be a key priority of not only his family but of course the campaign because i don't think these people
00:50:42.220
want trump back in office they don't want people that want to eviscerate the deep state and they
00:50:46.860
certainly don't want patriotic americans or constitutionalists at the helm of these various
00:50:52.300
agencies because if they are a lot of these folks are going to lose power there might be people that
00:50:57.660
are indicted and the boomerang effect will be loud and clear that they've attempted to do to trump
00:51:05.180
all right i'm afraid we have to leave it there i want to thank my friend george papadopoulos for
00:51:10.540
joining us today you can see uh he is uh uh available at x uh george papa was it 19 i think

00:51:25.900

00:54:24.380
so i'm going to let you close god bless you my friend god bless you roger hey and and everybody
00:54:29.660
you know i wanted to at the end of the show here i wanted to talk about something very important just
00:54:33.580
really quickly and that is the power of nullification and it speaks to the radical freedom that is
00:54:41.180
was the founding of the united states and that is nullification folks if you don't know what that is
00:54:46.220
it actually states uh it's a constitutional theory that i think the founders you know are pretty
00:54:51.660
obviously intent on making part of the law of our land and it's kind of been erased throughout time
00:54:57.260
is that a jury not only has the ability to set a man free uh from circumstance that they deem you know
00:55:04.300
he's a free man but they also have the power to destroy laws that they deem unconstitutional and
00:55:11.100
it's through this power that our founders had this brilliant idea that they would take away
00:55:16.620
the bureaucracy through the power of the people and how do you do that through the everyday court
00:55:21.340
proceedings that they had set up for the first time in human history where humans would be guaranteed
00:55:28.540
the right to be innocent prior to being found guilty now why am i talking about this today with
00:55:33.580
the dnc on the heels of all this it's because kamala harris tim walls they view freedom as radical
00:55:41.900
and they view what the republican party has put forth as freedom as radical now i think the republican
00:55:48.060
party has made strides in the last couple years to move towards freedom uh but we are not radically
00:55:54.620
free as a party yet and i think it is the radical free liberty movement that will eventually be uh
00:56:02.620
the place that the mega movement goes into because as we are kind of all learning more and more we're
00:56:08.380
going back to our founders and we're learning about the radical freedom that they preached and that
00:56:13.500
they demanded from their country and that they demanded from their government and the idea that these people
00:56:20.860
actually took up arms against their own government they actually went to war with the strongest uh force
00:56:27.740
ever assembled in the history of the world the strongest army ever and they won we should feel
00:56:34.540
incumbent on all of us on their sacrifice to continue this experiment in self-governance and we do that
00:56:43.500
through achieving that radical freedom so don't let kamala harris and the dnc shy you away from oh
00:56:50.620
you're a radical well guess what folks george washington was a radical thomas jefferson was a radical
00:56:57.820
alexander hamilton was a radical all of our founding fathers were radicals of their time but it's through
00:57:05.180
their radical devotion to liberty their radical devotion to freedom their radical devotion to the united
00:57:12.700
states of america that we have all that we have today so kamala harris and the dnc you call me
00:57:18.460
radical and i say yes i am radical in the same way as george washington as thomas jefferson as the
00:57:24.380
people who built this country and i will always be radical and it's for that radicalism in the united
00:57:30.860
states that radical patriotism that the rest of the world looks to us in their darkest moments to save them
00:57:37.500
and to save the world from the hell that the democrats and those with weak leadership and who
00:57:42.780
do not believe in the radical freedom of the united states wish to plunge us into ladies and gentlemen
00:57:48.620
