Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:14.080 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:18.380 He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:24.000 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts,
00:00:28.000 spoken at countless venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:35.000 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:40.360 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:48.340 Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and I'm back myself in The Stone Zone.
00:00:54.480 I was out yesterday with a bout of laryngitis.
00:00:59.120 Too much hooting and hollering over the weekend, I guess.
00:01:02.960 But I'm glad to be back in the saddle.
00:01:05.920 Joining me, of course, is my usual bombastic co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief at Slingshot.News.
00:01:15.900 Troy, welcome back into The Stone Zone.
00:01:18.560 Well, Roger, how did you know they call me Mr. Bombastic?
00:01:21.160 That should be your music.
00:01:25.060 Let's get him his own entry music.
00:01:28.060 He can be Mr. Bombastic.
00:01:29.800 Speaking of Bombastic, because I want to get right to it,
00:01:33.100 joining us today is the senior editor at Human Events, Jack Posobiec.
00:01:39.640 Human Events, first of all, is one of the most important and influential media outlets
00:01:45.600 in the history of the conservative movement.
00:01:48.120 It was seminal in the launch of Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign.
00:01:53.860 It protected the interests of movement conservatives in Washington, D.C.,
00:01:59.200 was equally seminal in the rise and election of Ronald Reagan as president.
00:02:05.300 Over time, Human Events modernized to the Internet,
00:02:09.640 where they were integral in the election of Donald Trump
00:02:13.820 and the fights we are waged in today.
00:02:17.260 And helming that operation, among other great journalists,
00:02:23.000 is my good friend Jack Posobiec.
00:02:25.440 Jack, welcome back into The Stone Zone.
00:02:28.560 Roger, always an honor to be here.
00:02:30.820 You know, Jack, when things happen around the world,
00:02:33.400 such as, oh, I don't know, the death of Klaus Schwab
00:02:37.780 or the blowing up of the helicopter carrying the president of Iran,
00:02:43.660 the guys who work for me, the guys who love Angelo, say, get the spook.
00:02:49.120 We need to get the spook.
00:02:52.000 We're kidding, of course, about your background in naval intelligence,
00:02:55.460 but you have a unique and I think...
00:02:59.080 Recovering. Recovering spook, Roger. Recovering.
00:03:01.240 Right. Or your spook cover, one or the other.
00:03:05.920 Everyone's favorite Fed, Jack Glosobiec.
00:03:08.120 Yeah, no, you're not that at all.
00:03:11.460 No, but you served your country in the Navy,
00:03:14.280 and the Navy intelligence is quite capable.
00:03:16.580 So you served with honor.
00:03:19.140 But you do have a grasp on geopolitical issues,
00:03:22.060 and you are that kind of rare analyst who can kind of oversee
00:03:26.060 the military and geopolitical aspects of things,
00:03:31.160 but also understand their impact on American politics.
00:03:36.080 And that's why I'm glad to have you with us today.
00:03:40.480 Let's start with the story that does not shock me,
00:03:45.200 and that is Klaus Schwab.
00:03:47.980 This guy is like...
00:03:49.740 They call me a Batman villain.
00:03:51.360 He's the ultimate Batman villain.
00:03:53.920 Guy does the worst Henry Kissinger imitation you've ever heard.
00:03:58.180 He has insisted that the people of the world change their diets.
00:04:04.800 A major advocate for the eating of insect protein
00:04:08.780 as opposed to good old fashioned American grass-fed beef,
00:04:14.680 who is reportedly extremely ill
00:04:17.260 and stepping down from the global centerpiece
00:04:23.340 of the effort to change the face of the world
00:04:27.300 in their atheistic, godless, globalist, one-world image.
00:04:33.040 Josh, your thoughts.
00:04:35.360 Well, Roger, it's interesting because Klaus Schwab,
00:04:38.480 someone who a couple of years ago when I was covering Davos
00:04:42.160 for the Turning Point organization with my friend Charlie Kirk,
00:04:46.500 I'm there standing on the street outside of the World Economic Forum committee
00:04:55.020 there in Davos, in the Alps,
00:04:57.220 and we're filming, we're dressed pretty similarly to the way I am now.
00:05:01.700 I had a button-down shirt, though, at that time,
00:05:03.540 and we're doing our reports,
00:05:05.600 and all of a sudden we get surrounded,
00:05:08.680 myself and my entire crew,
00:05:10.540 surrounded by these jackbooted thugs
00:05:13.820 that are bearing badges that say World Economic Forum Police,
00:05:18.500 and they say,
00:05:19.300 come with us, sir.
00:05:21.260 And they said,
00:05:21.880 we need to go and inspect.
00:05:23.360 Now, this is Switzerland.
00:05:24.260 They don't have the First Amendment.
00:05:25.540 They don't have any of those things like we do.
00:05:27.360 They say,
00:05:27.840 we've been getting some reports of your suspicious activity,
00:05:31.160 and we'd like to see what you have on your cameras.
00:05:34.720 So they detain me.
00:05:36.440 They detain my entire crew.
00:05:38.060 They demand, at gunpoint,
00:05:40.140 guns drawn, MP5, semi-automatic rifles,
00:05:43.920 demand to see our footage and see what they're doing.
00:05:47.520 They grabbed one of my guys and said,
00:05:49.580 hey, we want,
00:05:50.140 and they're frisking us behind the side of the building,
00:05:52.220 didn't even buy us dinner first,
00:05:54.120 and they demand to take my crew into their police van
00:06:00.560 and say, we're going to go to the police van
00:06:02.880 and review the footage.
00:06:03.700 I say, excuse me, no, no, no, no, no.
00:06:05.200 You can review the footage right here.
00:06:06.900 We have nothing to hide.
00:06:08.720 More than happy to show you what we have.
00:06:10.920 So they come by, Roger,
00:06:12.900 and then eventually at this point,
00:06:14.520 the intrepid field reporter, Savannah Hernandez,
00:06:18.040 who had also been at the World Economic Forum
00:06:21.200 but covering another portion of it
00:06:23.240 on the other side of the mountain,
00:06:24.740 she rushes over with my brother,
00:06:27.320 and they start getting in their face,
00:06:29.900 filming everything, live streaming, broadcasting,
00:06:32.800 and once they realize that they have been seen
00:06:35.060 intimidating a reporter,
00:06:36.520 at that point they stand down and leave,
00:06:39.800 and by the way,
00:06:40.840 completely deny anything took place,
00:06:43.960 even though the entire thing took place on camera.
00:06:46.860 So Klaus Schwab is someone who has stood
00:06:49.300 for the rise of what I call,
00:06:51.620 or the transposition of what I would say,
00:06:53.460 the China model,
00:06:54.940 the model of governance of the CCP
00:06:56.680 here into the United States
00:06:58.900 and across the West
00:07:00.280 and Western civilization writ large.
00:07:01.800 When I lived in Shanghai in 2006
00:07:04.440 and then back again in 07 and 08,
00:07:06.680 I saw how the China model was building,
00:07:09.860 and Xi Jinping,
00:07:10.540 who was the city party secretary at the time,
00:07:13.060 was using this model to cut across things
00:07:15.880 that we would have in the United States,
00:07:17.260 like basic things like property rights
00:07:19.320 and civil liberties
00:07:20.220 to install their form of global technocratic governance.
00:07:24.040 And this is the same thing
00:07:25.440 that Klaus Schwab and his pronies
00:07:26.960 have come to the United States to push.
00:07:29.280 Of course,
00:07:29.640 the newest iteration of which
00:07:31.120 also includes something called transhumanism.
00:07:34.980 This is the melding of human and cybernetic forms
00:07:39.500 and something that they're completely obsessed with.
00:07:42.680 And so, of course,
00:07:43.380 I wonder if Klaus Schwab has,
00:07:46.340 after getting sick off of his steady diet
00:07:48.620 of synthetic beef and insectoids,
00:07:51.140 is now going to be uploading his consciousness to the cloud.
00:07:54.560 I wish him well.
00:07:56.760 Well, unfortunately for Klaus,
00:07:58.480 he doesn't believe in God.
00:08:00.220 So there is no afterlife for him.
00:08:03.260 I would say-
00:08:03.440 Oh, there will be.
00:08:04.840 I would say that karma is at work here.
00:08:11.720 The other huge story, of course,
00:08:14.460 is the crash of a helicopter
00:08:18.460 carrying the chief of the Iranian state.
00:08:23.500 This is, the timing of this is suspicious.
00:08:26.340 The location of it is suspicious.
00:08:29.780 It's interesting.
00:08:30.420 I first heard about it early in the night,
00:08:33.380 but I heard no confirmation
00:08:34.900 that the leader was dead
00:08:37.620 until much, much later,
00:08:40.300 early that morning, actually.
00:08:42.140 So, Jack, break this down for us, if you will.
00:08:44.800 What do you think actually happened here?
00:08:47.000 And let's talk about the geopolitical impact of it.
00:08:51.620 Well, so, Roger, there's, of course,
00:08:53.100 a couple of ways that anything like this can go down.
00:08:56.060 Poland, by the way,
00:08:56.900 had a president that died in a plane crash
00:08:59.040 about 14 years ago, I believe,
00:09:02.060 and on the territory of Russia,
00:09:03.840 which is also very suspicious
00:09:05.220 and something that's never really been fully investigated.
00:09:07.960 And so whenever something like this happens,
00:09:09.900 there should be an investigation
00:09:11.520 to everything that went on here.
00:09:14.860 Now, obviously, looking at the conditions of the area
00:09:16.940 and just drawing on the military background,
00:09:19.140 there's no, no reason whatsoever,
00:09:23.880 no way that a helicopter
00:09:25.420 should have been flying in conditions
00:09:26.840 with fog cover that low in a mountainous area.
00:09:29.820 You're talking northern Iran.
00:09:31.820 This is basically the Caucasus Mountain region,
00:09:34.600 extremely mountainous region.
00:09:36.340 It is the borderlands of Azerbaijan, Armenia,
00:09:39.620 and then to the north of that, you have Russia,
00:09:41.720 to the east is Turkey.
00:09:43.220 So extremely mountainous region,
00:09:45.000 very fraught over the years,
00:09:47.040 somewhere where the weather is truly,
00:09:49.440 coming off the Caspian Sea,
00:09:50.600 truly unpredictable at times.
00:09:51.940 And so the idea that they would take off in fog
00:09:55.400 going into those mountains,
00:09:56.600 it's ridiculous.
00:09:58.120 It's one of the craziest things I've ever heard of.
00:10:00.800 I can't believe,
00:10:02.760 and for people to understand,
00:10:05.060 a presidential flight or any presidential movement,
00:10:07.740 and Roger, as you know,
00:10:09.160 that in the United States,
00:10:10.300 one of the first things you understand
00:10:11.940 for weeks and weeks in advance
00:10:13.820 is going over what are the weather patterns,
00:10:16.520 what are the security issues,
00:10:18.020 what are the concerns,
00:10:18.840 what could go wrong,
00:10:19.680 what are the logistics.
00:10:20.420 Certainly when you're in a foreign area
00:10:22.200 or a remote area like this.
00:10:24.100 And so the idea that they would simply
00:10:25.500 take off in this fog,
00:10:27.300 it's ludicrous.
00:10:28.180 It's completely insane to me.
00:10:29.220 That being said,
00:10:30.060 obviously there are serious geopolitical implications.
00:10:32.700 Iran right now is a key supplier
00:10:35.320 of drone technology and drone,
00:10:37.640 these kamikaze drones to Russia.
00:10:40.540 They have also been engaged in this situation
00:10:44.100 with Hamas,
00:10:45.300 which is at war with Israel
00:10:46.640 in terms of supplying material
00:10:48.580 and funding to them,
00:10:50.020 much of which was unfrozen
00:10:51.800 by the Biden administration.
00:10:53.700 So what we're going to see here,
00:10:55.980 potentially,
00:10:57.280 is an internal power struggle
00:10:59.380 now within Iran
00:11:01.060 because this guy,
00:11:03.300 the president of Iran,
00:11:04.620 was, I'm told,
00:11:06.680 one of the key names
00:11:08.840 that was potentially in the running
00:11:11.360 to be the next Ayatollah,
00:11:13.800 the next supreme leader of Iran.
00:11:15.820 Because the current supreme leader,
00:11:17.340 Khomeini,
00:11:18.480 he's also sick.
00:11:19.500 He's got cancer.
00:11:20.440 So they're looking to replace him as well.
00:11:23.180 And so the question is,
00:11:24.600 essentially,
00:11:25.420 if this guy was the successor,
00:11:27.440 could this spark
00:11:28.880 a sort of Franz Ferdinand situation
00:11:31.060 where the successor is lost,
00:11:33.160 it is blamed on someone else,
00:11:34.680 and this turns into a system of escalation.
00:11:37.280 We know Israel most recently
00:11:39.080 took out one of the key leaders
00:11:42.460 of the IRGC,
00:11:43.760 the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps,
00:11:45.540 when he was operating in a base in Lebanon,
00:11:48.240 in a consulate in Lebanon.
00:11:50.280 He was taken out.
00:11:51.360 Earlier, of course,
00:11:52.180 everyone knows that the general
00:11:53.340 of the IRGC, Soleimani,
00:11:55.000 was taken out by Donald Trump.
00:11:57.120 And so, of course,
00:11:57.800 this is going to just kick off
00:11:59.320 another cycle of escalation
00:12:00.920 in the Middle East,
00:12:02.060 escalatory wars,
00:12:02.960 and possibly, unfortunately, Roger,
00:12:04.940 I would predict
00:12:05.760 that this leads to more aggression
00:12:08.000 from Iran
00:12:09.340 as whatever new leadership
00:12:11.440 comes into place
00:12:12.600 seeks to legitimize themselves
00:12:15.380 and seeks to establish themselves.
00:12:18.000 You're going to see more aggression,
00:12:20.380 certainly against Israel
00:12:22.220 and certainly from many of the proxy groups
00:12:25.280 that Iran funds
00:12:26.180 in order to show, essentially,
00:12:28.560 that they mean business
00:12:30.420 and that Iran is going nowhere
00:12:31.800 in the Middle East.
00:12:32.960 All right, folks,
00:12:34.140 if you are just tuning in,
00:12:35.700 this is The Stone Zone.
00:12:36.920 We're with Jack Posobiec,
00:12:38.240 the senior editor at Human Events.
00:12:40.440 We're going to go to a quick commercial break.
00:12:43.060 But when we come back,
00:12:44.240 first of all,
00:12:44.680 I want Jack to tell us
00:12:46.200 whether we can rule out foul play
00:12:48.640 in the downing of the helicopter,
00:12:50.800 which took the life of the Iranian leader.
00:12:52.920 Then I'm going to ask him
00:12:53.940 what he believes the status
00:12:55.720 of Iran's nuclear weapons development program
00:12:59.260 really is.
00:13:00.220 We'll be right back.
00:13:02.960 Glutathione, I'm so excited
00:13:10.300 that we have a fantastic delivery system for it
00:13:12.600 because glutathione
00:13:13.700 is the master detoxifier
00:13:15.620 and master antioxidant.
00:13:17.420 Glutathione's like oxygen, okay?
00:13:19.480 You will die in three to seven minutes
00:13:22.320 if you don't get glutathione.
00:13:23.980 Wow.
00:13:24.300 And at three to seven minutes,
00:13:26.260 and we have a way now
00:13:28.460 to get the whole glutathione
00:13:29.600 in your cells in about 90 seconds
00:13:33.980 without using a glutathione IV.
00:13:36.700 It is the most important molecule in your body.
00:13:39.620 Glutathione helps your brain,
00:13:41.680 your liver.
00:13:42.600 It performs 400 functions in your body.
00:13:46.460 So it will detox every heavy metal,
00:13:50.920 every pesticide, every herbicide.
00:13:53.300 It will detox spike protein from your body.
00:13:56.380 It will detox graphene oxide.
00:13:59.040 And it is the master detoxifier and antioxidant.
00:14:02.060 So glutathione is needed every single day.

00:14:20.600 Please consider doing that now while you can.
00:14:24.460 Remember last week,
00:14:25.240 there were the stories out there
00:14:26.160 about pharmacies being hacked
00:14:27.460 and prescriptions could not be filled
00:14:29.280 for some pharmacies.
00:14:30.600 Again, that's in a time pretty much of calm.
00:14:33.660 What do you think is going to happen
00:14:35.020 in a time of, well,
00:14:37.620 I don't even want to describe it.
00:14:39.360 You know what's coming and could come.
00:14:41.040 So go ahead, get ready now.
00:14:42.380 TWC.health forward slash Brannan.
00:14:45.240 TWC.health forward slash Brannan.
00:14:49.020 You'll find all the details right there.
00:14:51.680 So please consider checking that out.
00:15:03.660 Welcome back, folks.
00:15:07.100 I'm Roger Stone,
00:15:08.000 and you're back in the Stone Zone.
00:15:10.140 We're here with senior editor
00:15:12.260 and U.S. Naval Intelligence veteran,
00:15:17.680 Jack Posobiec,
00:15:18.740 who has got a new book out that's red hot.
00:15:23.100 We're going to give you a chance
00:15:23.940 to promote that, Jack,
00:15:26.120 because people are talking about it.
00:15:28.000 I have bought it,
00:15:29.800 but I have not yet cracked it.
00:15:31.140 But maybe after the weekend,
00:15:32.920 I will get to it.
00:15:36.420 Let's go right to the first question.
00:15:38.980 Foul play by,
00:15:40.760 I mean, there certainly would be enough suspects,
00:15:42.500 the Mossad,
00:15:43.400 other internal political,
00:15:45.000 Iranian political rivals,
00:15:46.840 knowing that the outgoing supreme leader is ill.
00:15:51.080 What's your take on that?
00:15:53.480 Well, Roger,
00:15:54.300 there's no question
00:15:55.100 that anytime you see a world leader killed,
00:15:57.200 you must ask the question of foul play.
00:15:59.560 There certainly needs to be an investigation here.
00:16:03.320 Disarming or disabling a helicopter
00:16:05.900 by a cybersecurity means,
00:16:08.280 this would be easy.
00:16:10.900 This would be child's play
00:16:11.800 for anyone with a serious cybersecurity program
00:16:14.100 or cyber warfare program,
00:16:15.620 I should say.
00:16:16.560 And of course,
00:16:17.220 we know that the Mossad has this.
00:16:18.940 They've been using it for years to go
00:16:20.520 after the Stuxnet virus is infamous
00:16:22.700 for taking down Iran's,
00:16:24.500 almost their entire nuclear program
00:16:26.500 over a decade ago.
00:16:28.120 And that being said,
00:16:29.480 though, as you say,
00:16:30.120 there are internal factions
00:16:31.420 within Iran itself.
00:16:32.480 There are other factions
00:16:34.040 vying for the leadership of the regime.
00:16:35.800 And then there are also
00:16:36.620 anti-regime opposition groups
00:16:38.460 such as the MEK,
00:16:40.180 which have stood against
00:16:41.420 the Iranian regime for a long time.
00:16:43.000 And they receive a lot
00:16:44.060 of external support for this.
00:16:45.760 So it's one of those situations
00:16:47.460 where there's quite a few
00:16:48.980 usual suspects on this one, Roger.
00:16:51.020 And a fog bank would,
00:16:52.980 of course,
00:16:53.540 permit a plausible deniability
00:16:57.760 for covering up anything like this
00:17:00.120 that may have taken place.
00:17:01.220 You simply send a signal
00:17:02.160 to the aircraft.
00:17:03.920 You have it shut down the engine
00:17:05.520 or the rotors,
00:17:06.480 the blade stop.
00:17:07.540 And by the end of it,
00:17:08.640 no one's able to ever determine
00:17:09.980 what took place.
00:17:11.960 You know, Jack,
00:17:13.060 since the airliner
00:17:15.000 carrying Mrs. E. Howard Hunt
00:17:17.000 to Chicago
00:17:17.580 with a briefcase
00:17:19.300 with a million dollars in cash
00:17:21.180 suspiciously crashed
00:17:22.940 and the money disappeared,
00:17:24.360 I'm prepared to believe
00:17:25.460 almost anything.
00:17:27.360 Troy, do you have a question
00:17:28.580 for Jack Posobiec?
00:17:31.440 Absolutely, Jack.
00:17:32.200 What can you tell us
00:17:32.960 about the political implications
00:17:35.280 of this worldwide,
00:17:36.240 especially as it pertains
00:17:37.240 to Iran's relationship with China?
00:17:39.760 We've been seeing them
00:17:40.480 getting closer and closer
00:17:41.600 during the Biden administration.
00:17:43.540 What can you tell us
00:17:44.160 on that front?
00:17:45.940 Well, Iran's relationship
00:17:47.040 with China
00:17:47.800 is, of course,
00:17:49.040 brokered by Russia.
00:17:52.240 And China has been playing
00:17:53.480 an interesting role
00:17:54.380 in the Middle East
00:17:55.140 where they've actually,
00:17:56.420 China,
00:17:57.340 because they have become
00:17:58.760 the world's largest
00:17:59.880 importer of oil
00:18:02.640 to fuel their growth,
00:18:04.540 China lacks any oil
00:18:06.120 or mineral resources
00:18:07.340 for liquid, natural gas,
00:18:09.760 or any of these types of research
00:18:10.720 to use oil and gas
00:18:11.720 on their own,
00:18:12.400 gas on their own
00:18:13.640 as well as natural gas
00:18:15.640 or other hydrocarbons
00:18:19.000 and able to do this.
00:18:20.220 So China,
00:18:21.280 more than anyone else,
00:18:22.480 has been able to bring
00:18:23.780 Iran and Saudi Arabia
00:18:25.780 back together,
00:18:26.540 at least from an economic
00:18:27.800 standpoint,
00:18:28.560 in alignment
00:18:29.220 against the United States,
00:18:31.600 against the wishes
00:18:32.620 of the Biden administration,
00:18:34.120 because they are now
00:18:35.680 building pipelines
00:18:36.640 across Pakistan.
00:18:37.800 They call it
00:18:38.600 the Chinese economic corridor,
00:18:40.840 where they're building it
00:18:41.880 across Pakistan
00:18:42.800 to get that gas
00:18:44.600 and get that petroleum
00:18:45.400 from Iran
00:18:46.760 and from Saudi Arabia
00:18:49.640 all the way into China.
00:18:51.020 Now,
00:18:51.460 what's a key economic point
00:18:53.740 for China is
00:18:54.760 if you look at the geography,
00:18:56.440 and this is why maps,
00:18:57.080 I always say maps
00:18:57.720 cut through the rhetoric,
00:18:59.040 what is the single spot
00:19:00.820 where Pakistan meets
00:19:03.080 the Chinese border?
00:19:04.700 This, of course,
00:19:05.320 is the province
00:19:05.980 of Xinjiang
00:19:06.940 and the province
00:19:08.040 which contains
00:19:08.820 the native population
00:19:10.460 of Uyghurs.
00:19:11.760 And because the Uyghurs
00:19:12.540 don't want to be part
00:19:13.560 of China anymore,
00:19:15.660 China,
00:19:16.540 any Chinese infrastructure
00:19:18.180 there or key strategic
00:19:19.280 infrastructure
00:19:19.840 then becomes a target
00:19:21.140 for Uyghur attacks.
00:19:22.680 So what does China do?
00:19:23.680 Because China needs
00:19:24.440 the pipelines,
00:19:25.280 China needs,
00:19:25.880 it's also mountainous,
00:19:26.780 so a lot of it is rail,
00:19:27.760 a lot of it is highway.
00:19:30.320 So China simply decides
00:19:31.700 we're going to lock
00:19:32.640 all of the Uyghurs up
00:19:33.800 and send them
00:19:34.280 to re-education camps.
00:19:36.340 This is a very Chinese-style
00:19:38.100 solution to big problems.
00:19:40.780 And so Iran,
00:19:41.500 as you say,
00:19:42.820 has built this relationship
00:19:44.040 with China.
00:19:44.580 China is of critical importance
00:19:48.380 to China,
00:19:49.040 access to oil
00:19:49.840 and access to petroleum resources.
00:19:53.040 They need this
00:19:53.680 to fuel their growth.
00:19:54.640 They need this
00:19:55.040 to fuel their one belt,
00:19:55.980 one road.
00:19:56.800 This is where Iran comes in.
00:19:58.060 This is where the Saudis come in.
00:19:59.600 And this is where Russia
00:20:01.120 has played a key role
00:20:02.160 as basically a mediator
00:20:03.440 between Iran and China.
00:20:05.840 So you really see
00:20:06.800 this alliance building up
00:20:08.500 of countries
00:20:09.480 that are willing
00:20:10.260 to do business.
00:20:11.020 Of course,
00:20:11.280 Vladimir Putin was just over
00:20:12.360 in Beijing signing
00:20:13.480 a number of deals
00:20:14.760 where, of course,
00:20:15.300 Russia, again,
00:20:16.860 of course,
00:20:17.240 a supplier of oil to China
00:20:18.540 was signing billions
00:20:20.040 and billions of dollars
00:20:21.080 over to China.
00:20:21.900 And so this idea
00:20:22.980 that the Russian sanctions
00:20:24.080 have done anything
00:20:24.900 or gone anywhere
00:20:25.560 but the Biden administration
00:20:26.580 has been a complete failure
00:20:27.680 because Xi Jinping
00:20:28.720 has been more than willing
00:20:29.800 to do this
00:20:30.400 and work with them
00:20:31.040 the same way
00:20:31.840 that he's more than willing
00:20:32.760 to work with Iran.
00:20:34.720 This becomes a ballast,
00:20:38.360 a key counterballast
00:20:39.540 to the United States
00:20:41.020 and really the Western,
00:20:43.000 collective West,
00:20:44.340 economic system
00:20:45.860 around the world.
00:20:46.800 China, Russia, Iran,
00:20:49.460 OPEC, BRICS.
00:20:50.700 What we are seeing now
00:20:51.720 is the rise
00:20:52.400 of multi-polarity
00:20:53.700 and a parallel
00:20:54.540 economic system
00:20:55.720 predicated on
00:20:57.120 those countries
00:20:57.920 as well as
00:20:58.420 the global South
00:20:59.320 that is totally separate
00:21:01.020 from the Western system.
00:21:03.500 If I can change
00:21:04.860 to another part
00:21:06.560 of the globe,
00:21:07.820 Vladimir,
00:21:08.440 pardon me,
00:21:08.840 Volodymyr Zelensky
00:21:10.360 announces that,
00:21:12.980 well, no,
00:21:13.380 we don't need
00:21:13.940 to have another
00:21:14.600 presidential election.
00:21:15.800 So the democracy
00:21:17.840 that we are spending
00:21:18.800 billions to protect,
00:21:22.480 the president's term
00:21:24.880 of five years
00:21:25.700 has expired,
00:21:26.820 but the security
00:21:28.120 of the nation
00:21:28.820 is too great
00:21:29.680 to have an election
00:21:31.320 and therefore
00:21:32.480 we're going to postpone
00:21:33.800 it essentially
00:21:34.800 indefinitely.
00:21:36.760 I thought we were
00:21:37.720 fighting for democracy.
00:21:39.400 What makes this guy
00:21:41.240 now different
00:21:41.980 than Vladimir Putin
00:21:44.080 who at least
00:21:45.200 holds
00:21:46.460 a kabuki
00:21:49.520 of manipulated
00:21:51.320 elections
00:21:51.840 but at least
00:21:52.340 has
00:21:53.160 elections
00:21:54.920 that he has
00:21:56.300 for the purposes
00:21:56.980 of optics.
00:21:57.880 They don't even bother
00:21:58.920 to do that
00:21:59.580 in Ukraine.
00:22:01.380 You know,
00:22:02.060 Roger,
00:22:02.320 it's amazing.
00:22:02.800 The United States
00:22:03.400 in 1864,
00:22:04.800 of course,
00:22:05.560 held presidential elections
00:22:07.380 during the Civil War.
00:22:09.420 This is where you get
00:22:10.060 the famous
00:22:10.580 fusion ticket
00:22:11.740 of Lincoln and Johnson.
00:22:13.020 And so the idea
00:22:14.520 that we wouldn't
00:22:16.280 be able to hold
00:22:17.360 an election
00:22:17.660 or Ukraine
00:22:18.080 wouldn't be able
00:22:18.580 to hold
00:22:18.880 some semblance
00:22:19.880 of an election
00:22:20.480 is quite ludicrous.
00:22:22.640 And so they have
00:22:23.500 implanted martial law
00:22:24.980 and decreed martial law
00:22:25.980 across the country.
00:22:26.820 This was done
00:22:27.320 early on in the war,
00:22:28.700 by the way.
00:22:29.500 And of course,
00:22:30.260 the countdown
00:22:31.140 was brought
00:22:31.620 at that point
00:22:32.380 of saying that,
00:22:33.060 well,
00:22:33.480 if you don't
00:22:33.780 hold elections,
00:22:34.720 on what legality
00:22:36.620 do you base
00:22:37.300 your presidency
00:22:37.900 in?
00:22:38.160 He said,
00:22:38.400 well,
00:22:38.520 you base it
00:22:38.920 on the last election.
00:22:40.180 And of course,
00:22:40.620 Roger,
00:22:40.900 I did kind of
00:22:41.940 make a quip
00:22:42.560 earlier this morning
00:22:43.660 on Twitter,
00:22:44.080 as I occasionally
00:22:45.540 am known to do,
00:22:46.540 where I said,
00:22:47.400 you know,
00:22:47.940 you might criticize
00:22:49.180 Vladimir Zelensky
00:22:50.580 and criticize Ukraine
00:22:52.020 for not having
00:22:53.000 a real election
00:22:53.840 since 2019,
00:22:55.500 but then again,
00:22:56.260 who are we to talk
00:22:57.280 because we haven't
00:22:58.360 had a legitimate
00:22:59.020 election since 2016?
00:23:00.340 You make a very
00:23:02.380 good point.
00:23:03.060 I love this.
00:23:03.740 Peter Stano,
00:23:05.700 the spokesperson
00:23:06.340 for the European
00:23:07.480 Commission
00:23:08.320 for Foreign Affairs,
00:23:11.180 stressed that Ukraine
00:23:12.180 cannot hold
00:23:12.940 free elections
00:23:13.640 because it's under
00:23:14.980 attack by Russian
00:23:16.200 missiles,
00:23:17.100 drones,
00:23:17.620 bombs,
00:23:18.040 and millions
00:23:18.440 of people
00:23:19.020 have become
00:23:19.980 displaced.
00:23:21.400 Jack,
00:23:21.880 what is the
00:23:23.300 European Commission
00:23:24.220 for Foreign Affairs
00:23:25.900 and what is their
00:23:28.380 authority in this
00:23:29.320 matter?
00:23:29.680 this is elite
00:23:33.080 globalist
00:23:33.960 horseshit
00:23:35.080 is what it is.
00:23:36.080 Yeah, I mean,
00:23:36.620 Roger,
00:23:37.360 let's cut the
00:23:38.200 pretense
00:23:38.580 as you just did.
00:23:40.700 The Ukrainian
00:23:41.740 government
00:23:42.380 has been
00:23:43.820 since 2014
00:23:45.260 propped up
00:23:46.640 by the West,
00:23:47.760 propped up
00:23:48.220 by the Western
00:23:49.080 powers.
00:23:50.060 They were brought,
00:23:50.680 this regime
00:23:51.200 was brought into
00:23:51.880 power by a coup
00:23:53.560 and we're going
00:23:53.980 to call it
00:23:54.360 what it is,
00:23:55.160 a coup
00:23:55.700 that was launched
00:23:56.700 by the Obama
00:23:57.640 State Department
00:23:58.400 and elements
00:23:59.060 of the Central
00:23:59.700 Intelligence Agency
00:24:01.000 under the auspices
00:24:02.200 of none other
00:24:02.960 than Victoria
00:24:03.900 Newland
00:24:04.380 and others,
00:24:05.680 George Pyatt
00:24:06.300 is the name
00:24:06.660 who comes to
00:24:07.120 mind,
00:24:07.800 who were over there
00:24:08.660 as well as
00:24:09.180 everyone's favorite,
00:24:11.180 John McCain
00:24:12.020 and Lindsey Graham
00:24:13.440 and the Clinton
00:24:14.800 Foundation.
00:24:15.560 Remember,
00:24:16.160 at the time,
00:24:16.940 and Roger,
00:24:17.320 you know more
00:24:17.720 than anyone else,
00:24:18.740 at the time,
00:24:20.060 2015,
00:24:21.180 who becomes
00:24:21.960 the number one
00:24:23.240 donor to the
00:24:24.420 Clinton Foundation?
00:24:25.740 Viktor Pinchuk,
00:24:27.120 a Ukrainian
00:24:27.840 oligarch.
00:24:29.120 Why was a
00:24:29.800 Ukrainian oligarch
00:24:31.020 the number one
00:24:32.260 donor to the
00:24:33.160 Clinton Foundation?
00:24:34.180 What is it
00:24:35.060 that they were
00:24:35.700 paying for?
00:24:36.340 Well,
00:24:36.640 I would go so far
00:24:37.900 as to say
00:24:38.420 that they were,
00:24:39.360 that that was
00:24:40.220 a thank you,
00:24:41.740 that was a payment
00:24:42.740 for services
00:24:43.680 rendered in terms
00:24:45.080 of putting their
00:24:46.000 faction in power.
00:24:47.360 This is the pro-George
00:24:48.360 Soros faction
00:24:49.100 in power in Kiev.
00:24:51.800 And it was a bloody
00:24:52.600 coup,
00:24:53.000 and people forget
00:24:53.580 this as well.
00:24:54.520 It was an absolutely
00:24:55.200 bloody coup.
00:24:56.020 Many civilians
00:24:56.820 were killed in this.
00:24:57.660 Some were burned
00:24:58.280 alive in a house
00:24:59.820 for opposing this.
00:25:01.320 The president fled.
00:25:03.680 This was a situation
00:25:04.800 that was the most
00:25:05.620 undemocratic thing
00:25:06.600 you could call for.
00:25:07.340 So the idea
00:25:07.900 that Ukraine
00:25:08.480 has had a serious
00:25:09.660 democracy
00:25:10.280 after experiencing
00:25:11.440 something like that
00:25:12.220 is laughable
00:25:12.920 and it's a joke
00:25:13.640 and the institutions
00:25:14.740 there that then
00:25:15.660 were then put up
00:25:16.520 beforehand
00:25:17.280 have all been
00:25:18.580 controlled by the West
00:25:19.560 which includes,
00:25:20.840 by the way,
00:25:21.360 and Roger,
00:25:21.780 I'm just going to
00:25:22.160 go out and say it,
00:25:23.220 includes,
00:25:23.860 by the way,
00:25:24.600 an organization
00:25:25.460 that directly
00:25:26.680 interfered
00:25:27.600 in the election
00:25:29.440 of 2016
00:25:30.200 here in the United
00:25:31.140 States
00:25:31.480 when they created
00:25:32.260 the completely
00:25:33.200 fabricated
00:25:34.060 Black Ledger
00:25:34.920 and used this
00:25:36.120 to smear
00:25:36.920 Paul Manafort
00:25:37.780 and get him
00:25:38.820 to step down
00:25:39.860 as chairman
00:25:40.460 of the Trump
00:25:41.100 campaign.
00:25:41.960 It was false.
00:25:42.840 It was a complete
00:25:43.580 forgery
00:25:44.140 and it directly
00:25:45.120 interfered
00:25:45.820 in our elections.
00:25:47.480 And it was
00:25:47.800 courtesy of the
00:25:49.060 Ukrainian
00:25:50.380 intelligence agencies.
00:25:51.900 Yes.
00:25:52.220 Nice job,
00:25:53.540 boys.
00:25:54.120 Jack,
00:25:54.480 tell us about
00:25:55.160 your new book
00:25:55.860 and then we're
00:25:56.340 going to show
00:25:56.700 folks where
00:25:57.160 they can get it.
00:25:59.100 Of course,
00:25:59.740 that's Unhumans.
00:26:00.800 The book is
00:26:01.180 Unhumans,
00:26:02.140 The Secret History
00:26:02.740 of Communist
00:26:03.200 Revolutions
00:26:03.720 and How to Crush
00:26:04.460 Them.
00:26:04.700 Folks,
00:26:05.140 if you're worried
00:26:05.880 about communist
00:26:06.660 revolutions,
00:26:07.380 if you're not,
00:26:07.900 you should be
00:26:08.360 because they are
00:26:09.260 very interested
00:26:10.080 in you
00:26:11.000 and you might
00:26:11.680 as well wake
00:26:12.100 up because
00:26:12.680 you're in one.
00:26:13.980 We've got this
00:26:14.780 incredible book.
00:26:15.620 We put it forward.
00:26:16.340 It's the history
00:26:17.020 of every communist
00:26:17.920 revolution or at
00:26:18.700 least every major
00:26:19.280 one going all
00:26:20.360 the way back
00:26:20.720 to include even
00:26:21.480 the proto-communist
00:26:22.400 revolutions of
00:26:23.560 France.
00:26:24.300 We even get into
00:26:25.160 the downfall
00:26:25.920 of the Roman
00:26:26.460 Republic,
00:26:27.020 the rise of
00:26:27.500 the Roman Empire,
00:26:28.600 the fall of
00:26:29.240 the Roman Empire.
00:26:30.220 We go through
00:26:30.820 all of the forces
00:26:31.740 that lead to
00:26:32.500 these throughout
00:26:33.380 history and more
00:26:34.180 importantly,
00:26:35.100 we talk about
00:26:35.520 Russia,
00:26:35.820 we talk about
00:26:36.140 Spain,
00:26:36.420 we talk about
00:26:36.800 China,
00:26:37.140 Roger,
00:26:37.320 but more
00:26:38.000 importantly,
00:26:38.300 we talk about
00:26:38.880 how to defeat
00:26:40.120 and derail
00:26:41.220 these things
00:26:42.140 the way we can
00:26:42.720 do it right now
00:26:43.260 by using reciprocity,
00:26:44.820 by using lawfare,
00:26:46.100 by taking that
00:26:47.120 which is done
00:26:47.800 to us
00:26:48.620 and responding
00:26:49.760 tenfold
00:26:50.920 to the specific
00:26:52.240 individuals
00:26:53.300 who do it to us
00:26:54.800 and Roger,
00:26:55.300 yes,
00:26:55.560 we do talk
00:26:56.280 about the man
00:26:57.660 whose name
00:26:58.240 is to not be
00:26:59.520 spoken anywhere
00:27:00.760 in American politics.
00:27:02.280 Yes,
00:27:02.500 of course,
00:27:02.880 I'm talking about
00:27:03.740 one of my favorite
00:27:04.540 Catholic senators
00:27:05.700 of all time,
00:27:06.940 Joseph McCarthy
00:27:07.960 because a fantastic
00:27:09.160 section in there
00:27:10.060 about how
00:27:10.740 Joseph McCarthy
00:27:12.000 tried to warn us
00:27:13.700 and we didn't
00:27:14.600 listen.
00:27:15.800 And so,
00:27:16.260 when you look
00:27:16.880 at what he did
00:27:17.840 and you understand
00:27:18.940 what must be done now,
00:27:20.280 people can go to
00:27:20.920 unhumansbook.com,
00:27:22.920 that's unhumansbook.com
00:27:24.660 for signed copies
00:27:26.340 for myself
00:27:27.040 and my co-author,
00:27:27.820 fantastic co-author,
00:27:28.940 Joshua Lysak.
00:27:29.940 We're going
00:27:30.520 to be doing
00:27:31.080 our book launch
00:27:33.160 June 15th
00:27:34.940 at the Turning Point
00:27:36.460 Action event
00:27:37.440 in Detroit,
00:27:38.500 Michigan.
00:27:39.200 President Trump
00:27:39.780 also speaking
00:27:40.840 at that event.
00:27:42.120 It's going to be fantastic.
00:27:43.460 Mike Benz will be there.
00:27:44.660 Roger,
00:27:45.060 if you're at the event,
00:27:45.920 love to have you.
00:27:47.620 Jack,
00:27:48.280 I'm anxious
00:27:48.760 to read
00:27:49.740 your chapter
00:27:51.140 on Tail Gunner Joe,
00:27:53.100 the anti-communist
00:27:55.100 ex-Marine
00:27:56.600 from Wisconsin.
00:27:58.200 Anybody who doubts
00:27:59.080 what Jack says
00:27:59.980 may simply read
00:28:00.960 the book
00:28:01.980 Black-Filled by History
00:28:03.700 by M. Stanton Evans,
00:28:06.160 which is a very,
00:28:07.500 very thick
00:28:08.140 and scholarly tome,
00:28:09.820 but basically shows
00:28:10.840 that everything
00:28:11.640 Senator Joseph R. McCarthy
00:28:13.900 said about
00:28:14.540 the communist infiltration
00:28:16.640 of the country
00:28:17.740 then and now
00:28:19.000 turned out to be
00:28:20.460 absolutely right.
00:28:22.560 Jack,
00:28:22.820 you also had
00:28:23.440 a great posting
00:28:24.260 on X this week.
00:28:25.960 It was,
00:28:26.480 I think,
00:28:26.760 a four-minute clip
00:28:27.820 of Bishop
00:28:28.820 Fulton Sheen,
00:28:30.420 the fiery
00:28:31.200 anti-Catholic
00:28:32.840 bishop
00:28:33.600 from New York.
00:28:34.940 He was a communist.
00:28:35.980 He was like
00:28:36.940 Bela Lugosi
00:28:37.940 on,
00:28:38.880 you know,
00:28:40.200 on Christ.
00:28:41.620 You know,
00:28:41.940 Roger,
00:28:42.280 they say
00:28:42.700 not all heroes
00:28:44.780 wear capes,
00:28:45.680 but some of them do.
00:28:46.920 Yeah,
00:28:47.300 it was an amazing,
00:28:48.620 amazing clip.
00:28:50.220 All right,
00:28:50.840 we are happy
00:28:51.740 to have our good friend
00:28:52.640 Jack Posobiec.
00:28:53.340 Please go on over
00:28:54.580 to Human Events.
00:28:56.580 You want to subscribe
00:28:57.680 and follow him there.
00:28:59.920 Also over at
00:29:01.140 America's,
00:29:02.980 Real America's Voice.
00:29:04.640 Jack,
00:29:04.940 thanks for jumping
00:29:05.900 into the breach here.
00:29:07.060 I really appreciate it.
00:29:08.780 God bless,
00:29:09.260 Roger,
00:29:09.460 and I'll throw out
00:29:10.040 as well one piece
00:29:10.960 for you in that chapter.
00:29:11.960 We actually showed
00:29:13.140 the Verona intercepts
00:29:14.780 that show that
00:29:15.440 elements of the NSA
00:29:16.460 and the FBI
00:29:17.320 knew that McCarthy
00:29:19.360 was right
00:29:19.980 during the hearings,
00:29:21.460 had the information,
00:29:23.000 and didn't declassify it
00:29:24.600 as they were watching
00:29:25.660 the infiltration
00:29:26.500 of our country
00:29:27.240 by Soviet spies.
00:29:28.440 We have the declassified documents.
00:29:30.520 They came out
00:29:30.980 in the 1990s
00:29:31.940 in the NSA archives,
00:29:33.440 and it goes through
00:29:33.980 chapter and verse
00:29:35.040 of almost every single person
00:29:37.220 that Joseph McCarthy
00:29:38.280 identified as a communist
00:29:39.540 is mentioned in these files.
00:29:41.420 Yeah,
00:29:41.860 it's interesting.
00:29:42.740 In my book,
00:29:44.640 Tricky Dick's
00:29:45.280 The Rise and Fallen,
00:29:46.460 Rise of Richard Nixon,
00:29:48.040 I point out
00:29:48.820 that after
00:29:49.320 the Soviet Union fell
00:29:51.360 and we got access
00:29:52.680 to the KGB files,
00:29:54.760 we learned
00:29:55.400 that the fact
00:29:55.940 that Alger Hiss
00:29:56.760 was indeed
00:29:57.400 a Russian spy
00:29:58.400 is now indisputable,
00:30:00.200 much to the chagrin
00:30:01.140 of the love of the love.
00:30:02.300 Alger Hiss
00:30:02.860 is a major,
00:30:04.140 major figure
00:30:04.780 in the book,
00:30:05.840 as well as
00:30:07.100 a close associate
00:30:08.340 of his,
00:30:09.180 a doctor
00:30:09.620 by the name
00:30:10.240 of Robert Oppen.
00:30:11.960 Yes,
00:30:12.620 and of course
00:30:13.200 taken down
00:30:13.840 by one congressman,
00:30:15.480 Richard M. Nixon,
00:30:17.480 starting him
00:30:18.280 on his path
00:30:18.940 to the White House.
00:30:20.240 All right,
00:30:20.600 Jack Posobiec,
00:30:21.420 Human Events,
00:30:21.980 thank you so much
00:30:22.800 for joining us today
00:30:24.140 in the Stone Zone.
00:30:26.180 God bless, Roger.
00:30:28.340 All right, folks,
00:30:30.160 I know what you come here for.
00:30:31.840 This is the Stone Zone,
00:30:33.080 the place for politics.
00:30:34.700 So,
00:30:35.120 let's bring in
00:30:35.960 Troy Smith,
00:30:37.340 who is our official
00:30:39.000 Stone Zone
00:30:40.100 political curator.
00:30:42.480 Oh,
00:30:43.360 they're telling me
00:30:43.940 we should go to a break first.
00:30:44.940 All right,
00:30:45.200 indeed we shall.
00:30:46.300 When we come back,
00:30:48.180 the very latest update
00:30:49.740 on the goings-on
00:30:50.800 in that Manhattan trial,
00:30:52.320 I've got some bombshell news
00:30:54.260 you're going to want to hear.
00:30:55.780 We'll be right back.
00:31:04.480 WVWfoundation.com
00:31:05.580 for your support.
00:31:06.340 We need more
00:31:07.160 monthly supporters, folks.
00:31:09.000 We have some people,
00:31:09.740 we got a notification
00:31:11.100 from someone today saying,
00:31:12.120 I love supporting you guys,
00:31:13.200 but I'm now going into retirement,
00:31:14.880 can't afford to support you.
00:31:16.720 Well, I can understand that.
00:31:18.020 Folks going into retirement
00:31:19.080 on a fixed income
00:31:20.120 with all the cost
00:31:21.300 of inflation going up.
00:31:22.580 So,
00:31:23.040 we are losing donors
00:31:24.400 who want to keep supporting us,
00:31:27.020 but due to the cost of living,
00:31:28.940 they can't.
00:31:30.200 So,
00:31:30.560 we not only need to add donors,
00:31:32.660 we need to make up
00:31:33.560 for the donors we're losing
00:31:34.860 who now find themselves
00:31:36.700 retiring on a fixed income
00:31:39.020 or already retired,
00:31:41.360 but on a fixed income
00:31:42.300 with the cost of inflation
00:31:43.540 going up.
00:31:44.140 And they have to cut.
00:31:45.420 I totally get it.
00:31:46.900 So,
00:31:47.160 we're really needing
00:31:48.140 more supporters, folks.
00:31:49.580 I can't tell you
00:31:50.380 how important this is.
00:31:52.580 Think of us
00:31:53.260 as your conservative
00:31:54.040 Christian worldview
00:31:54.800 alternative to NPR,
00:31:56.240 National Public Radio,
00:31:57.420 National Public Television.
00:31:58.640 So,
00:31:58.840 please,
00:31:59.540 make a contribution,
00:32:01.040 occasional,
00:32:01.720 or sign up
00:32:02.180 for an automatic contribution,
00:32:03.660 $5,
00:32:04.400 $10 a month,
00:32:05.120 whatever you can afford.
00:32:05.840 You can set that up

00:32:13.860 Experts say
00:32:14.580 that Russian hackers
00:32:15.740 found a way
00:32:16.360 to hack our utilities,
00:32:18.220 and the hackers
00:32:18.860 may still be in there
00:32:20.400 waiting to strike.
00:32:21.880 Go after their power,
00:32:22.760 go after their water,
00:32:23.720 and you can bring
00:32:24.180 a nation to its knees.
00:32:25.080 They're identifying targets,
00:32:27.000 they're positioning malware
00:32:28.660 so they could pull the trigger
00:32:30.940 when they wanted to.
00:32:32.140 Experts see the intrusion
00:32:33.520 as a possible precursor
00:32:35.000 to an unprecedented
00:32:36.140 Russian cyber attack
00:32:37.480 that could,
00:32:38.240 in the event of war,
00:32:39.600 devastate the U.S.
00:32:41.160 We know that China
00:32:42.440 has been hacking
00:32:43.100 everything they can
00:32:44.020 and stealing
00:32:44.580 our intellectual property.
00:32:46.200 They want to take down
00:32:47.460 America's economy.
00:32:49.080 They want to take down
00:32:49.780 our morale.
00:32:50.780 They understand
00:32:51.440 that if they can
00:32:52.260 destroy our economy,
00:32:53.440 they can destroy our future.
00:32:56.140 We're at war.
00:32:56.960 Welcome back, folks.
00:33:26.640 I'm Roger Stone,
00:33:28.320 and we're in the Stone Zone.
00:33:29.820 Joining me now,
00:33:30.940 my co-host, Troy Smith.
00:33:34.700 Roger, as always,
00:33:35.500 it's an honor to be here,
00:33:36.360 and you kind of left us
00:33:37.060 with a cliffhanger there
00:33:38.000 at the end
00:33:38.480 about a breaking bombshell
00:33:39.780 surrounding the Hush Money trial.
00:33:41.120 I want to open this up
00:33:41.780 so you can break the news.
00:33:43.620 Yeah, as you know,
00:33:44.800 former federal prosecutor
00:33:46.380 Robert Costello
00:33:47.840 testified yesterday,
00:33:50.080 a very powerful moment,
00:33:52.240 got into it
00:33:53.520 with Judge Murchan,
00:33:55.360 as was widely reported.
00:33:57.620 But what I now know
00:33:59.720 is that until Costello
00:34:02.560 had his very forceful
00:34:05.260 and compelling testimony
00:34:06.960 in public before the Congress
00:34:09.280 under oath last week,
00:34:11.220 Trump's defense lawyers
00:34:12.680 had not decided
00:34:14.120 to call the former
00:34:15.520 federal prosecutor
00:34:16.820 as a defense witness.
00:34:20.300 Therefore,
00:34:21.500 they only debriefed
00:34:24.540 Mr. Costello
00:34:25.740 on a cursory basis
00:34:27.960 before his testimony,
00:34:29.720 normally working
00:34:31.440 with a cooperating
00:34:33.580 or I should say witness,
00:34:37.000 you would do preparation.
00:34:39.500 They didn't examine
00:34:40.160 any of the hundreds
00:34:41.380 of documents
00:34:42.480 that Costello says
00:34:43.980 he possesses,
00:34:44.860 which bolster everything
00:34:46.340 he said in court.
00:34:48.180 And the reason
00:34:48.680 he may have gotten
00:34:49.540 into it with Judge Murchan
00:34:51.860 is the judge
00:34:52.840 may have put limitations
00:34:54.260 on the scope
00:34:55.600 of his testimony
00:34:57.140 that Mr. Costello
00:34:58.680 had not been made aware of.
00:35:01.780 So, but I think,
00:35:03.100 nonetheless,
00:35:04.300 Costello was a devastating witness
00:35:06.900 for Michael Cohn
00:35:09.040 because he yet again
00:35:11.880 proves that Cohn
00:35:14.180 told multiple stories
00:35:16.220 at multiple times.
00:35:18.320 I give Trump attorney
00:35:21.740 Todd Blanche credit
00:35:23.940 for backing Cohn
00:35:26.180 back into a stunning omission
00:35:28.880 that he stole $60,000
00:35:31.460 from his employer.
00:35:34.260 I agree with Jonathan Turley,
00:35:37.720 the George Washington
00:35:38.900 University professor,
00:35:40.400 certainly no Trump fan
00:35:42.280 or certainly no
00:35:43.200 Roger Stone fan,
00:35:44.580 evidently.
00:35:45.920 But he, I think,
00:35:47.800 correctly claims
00:35:48.820 that Mr. Cohn
00:35:51.340 did not connect Trump
00:35:53.420 to the underlying transaction,
00:35:56.620 which is at the heart
00:35:58.140 of this moment.
00:35:59.800 Also shocking
00:36:00.780 that Judge Murchan
00:36:02.580 would not allow
00:36:03.300 the testimony
00:36:03.920 from the former head
00:36:05.720 of the Federal Election Commission.
00:36:08.200 Clearly, authority
00:36:09.140 on federal election law,
00:36:10.900 an attorney,
00:36:11.820 who would have testified
00:36:13.720 that the transaction
00:36:15.920 in question
00:36:16.700 did not violate
00:36:17.900 any federal law
00:36:19.520 and did not,
00:36:21.100 was not connected
00:36:21.880 to any other transaction
00:36:23.580 that may have
00:36:24.560 based on an FEC investigation.
00:36:27.660 So, much like
00:36:28.540 when I went to trial,
00:36:30.460 the judge blocks
00:36:31.700 certain facts
00:36:32.900 from coming in.
00:36:34.120 I don't think
00:36:35.540 the judge
00:36:36.200 was pleased
00:36:36.980 with the tenor
00:36:38.540 of Mr. Costello's testimony.
00:36:41.520 The judge actually
00:36:42.200 accused Costello,
00:36:44.020 who, by the way,
00:36:44.900 is widely respected
00:36:46.400 in New York
00:36:47.180 legal circles
00:36:48.500 as staring
00:36:49.740 the judge down.
00:36:51.560 Perhaps Mr. Costello
00:36:52.960 was merely
00:36:54.340 paying attention.
00:36:57.060 Costello
00:36:57.740 is on the stand
00:36:58.500 again today.
00:36:59.240 I have not
00:36:59.780 yet had a chance
00:37:00.820 to see those
00:37:01.720 media reports.
00:37:03.340 but the government's case
00:37:06.880 under Mr. Bragg
00:37:07.840 is falling apart
00:37:09.580 piece by piece.
00:37:11.740 The witnesses,
00:37:12.800 they call,
00:37:13.600 Stormy Daniels,
00:37:15.420 Keith Davidson,
00:37:17.460 and, of course,
00:37:18.340 this epic clown,
00:37:21.900 Michael Cohn,
00:37:23.000 I think have done
00:37:23.620 more damage
00:37:24.900 for the government's case
00:37:27.040 than they have
00:37:28.000 helped it.
00:37:30.220 Cohn,
00:37:31.120 and I got criticized
00:37:32.280 by many on the left
00:37:34.300 who are just haters,
00:37:35.880 but I've known him
00:37:37.200 for 30 years.
00:37:37.980 He is not very bright.
00:37:40.560 He assumes
00:37:41.560 some level
00:37:42.980 of political
00:37:44.040 or public relations
00:37:45.360 or legal sophistication
00:37:47.280 that he lacks.
00:37:48.440 He has a thing
00:37:50.720 for gangster
00:37:52.280 aphorisms.
00:37:53.360 He quotes
00:37:54.500 The Godfather
00:37:55.620 constantly.
00:37:57.160 The sad thing
00:37:58.020 is he wants
00:37:58.680 to be Tim Hagen,
00:38:00.000 but he's really
00:38:01.180 Fredo.
00:38:02.180 That's the truth.
00:38:04.320 Well, Roger,
00:38:05.360 and I think
00:38:06.200 that's a good comparison
00:38:07.140 for people out there.
00:38:08.760 That really puts
00:38:09.220 an image in your head,
00:38:09.980 at least for me.
00:38:10.820 And we have clips
00:38:11.780 this morning
00:38:12.420 of several people
00:38:13.780 outside of the courtroom.
00:38:15.640 And there was
00:38:16.460 particularly a couple
00:38:17.420 that I wanted to play here.
00:38:18.460 We'll start off
00:38:19.120 with Donald Trump Jr.,
00:38:20.480 who I thought
00:38:20.940 made a great case
00:38:21.740 for his father
00:38:22.780 and about the implications
00:38:24.400 of this trial.
00:38:25.300 Let's roll Donald Trump Jr.
00:38:26.480 outside the courthouse
00:38:27.340 this morning.
00:38:28.860 And what it's doing
00:38:30.000 is setting
00:38:30.500 a disastrous precedent
00:38:32.300 for our legal system
00:38:33.900 for justice
00:38:34.880 in America.
00:38:35.780 If it can happen
00:38:36.980 to Donald Trump
00:38:37.820 and if they will try
00:38:39.060 to do this
00:38:39.540 to someone like Donald Trump
00:38:40.660 with a platform,
00:38:42.360 hundreds of millions
00:38:43.160 of followers,
00:38:44.320 the ability to fight,
00:38:45.680 they will do it
00:38:47.040 to anyone.
00:38:48.020 They have weaponized
00:38:48.940 this system
00:38:49.560 against their political enemies
00:38:50.920 and they've started
00:38:52.060 to go down
00:38:52.940 a very dangerous
00:38:54.080 and a very slippery slope.
00:38:56.880 This insanity
00:38:57.700 cannot stand.
00:38:59.220 This kind of bias
00:39:00.220 cannot be allowed
00:39:01.300 to happen
00:39:01.800 in the United States
00:39:02.760 of America
00:39:03.600 or anywhere else.
00:39:04.760 If this was going on
00:39:06.080 right now
00:39:06.640 in a third world
00:39:07.740 banana republic,
00:39:09.020 there would be people
00:39:09.820 screaming about it.
00:39:11.340 You people,
00:39:12.040 the media,
00:39:12.540 would be outraged.
00:39:14.220 Instead,
00:39:15.160 because I presume
00:39:15.960 you're fine
00:39:16.440 with whatever
00:39:16.860 the results are
00:39:17.640 as long as it's
00:39:18.220 against Donald Trump,
00:39:19.960 your silence
00:39:20.660 is deafening
00:39:21.540 and it's disgusting.
00:39:23.120 This cannot stand
00:39:24.140 and it cannot allow
00:39:25.300 to continue.
00:39:27.980 Powerful statement.
00:39:29.260 I saw Lieutenant Governor
00:39:30.380 Dan Patrick
00:39:31.100 of Texas
00:39:32.200 among those
00:39:33.400 standing
00:39:33.980 behind Donald Jr.
00:39:36.560 Look,
00:39:37.120 I think Republicans,
00:39:39.020 America First Republicans
00:39:40.320 making a pilgrimage
00:39:41.920 to New York,
00:39:42.840 holding press conferences,
00:39:46.480 many of them
00:39:47.220 attorneys themselves.
00:39:49.060 Some people can say,
00:39:50.080 well,
00:39:50.160 that's just politics.
00:39:51.040 No,
00:39:51.200 it's not politics
00:39:51.860 because there is
00:39:53.180 no case here.
00:39:54.580 This is political persecution,
00:39:56.760 something you would see
00:39:57.600 at the hands
00:39:58.140 of Fidel Castro
00:39:59.140 or Joseph Stalin
00:40:01.760 or Chairman Mao
00:40:05.420 or even,
00:40:08.240 dare I say it,
00:40:09.700 Adolf Hitler.
00:40:11.200 This is not the America
00:40:12.700 that we know.
00:40:14.840 And I agree
00:40:16.000 with those who say
00:40:16.800 they need to be careful
00:40:18.020 what they wish for.
00:40:19.720 So desperate are they
00:40:20.920 in their efforts
00:40:21.680 to destroy Donald Trump
00:40:23.100 that if they strip
00:40:24.240 presidents of immunity,
00:40:26.040 then I would say
00:40:26.980 presidents like
00:40:27.700 George W. Bush,
00:40:29.880 George H.W. Bush,
00:40:31.220 posthumously,
00:40:32.580 but George W. Bush
00:40:34.500 in this life
00:40:35.240 and Barack Obama,
00:40:36.580 not to mention
00:40:37.280 Bill Clinton,
00:40:39.040 may deeply,
00:40:40.720 deeply regret
00:40:41.740 that politicized
00:40:44.100 Supreme Court decision.
00:40:47.380 Supreme Court
00:40:48.000 made a bunch of decisions
00:40:49.180 in the wake of Watergate
00:40:50.540 that were,
00:40:52.500 as they say,
00:40:54.040 wrongly decided,
00:40:55.600 where they let politics
00:40:56.640 rather than the law
00:40:57.820 govern their decisions.
00:40:59.220 decisions.
00:41:00.240 Up until then,
00:41:01.940 executive privilege
00:41:02.760 was a recognized
00:41:04.260 constitutional principle
00:41:05.720 and it worked
00:41:06.560 pretty well.
00:41:07.580 But now,
00:41:08.980 it's turned on
00:41:09.700 their heads.
00:41:10.700 Remember when Nixon
00:41:11.500 had the tapes
00:41:12.260 and he did not want
00:41:13.200 to turn them over?
00:41:14.680 And they said,
00:41:15.860 oh,
00:41:16.160 it's a constitutional crisis.
00:41:18.040 The people have
00:41:18.820 a right to know
00:41:19.500 he has no executive
00:41:20.540 privilege to that material.
00:41:22.420 But now,
00:41:23.760 the Biden administration
00:41:24.720 does not want to
00:41:25.560 turn over the tape
00:41:26.460 recording of his interview,
00:41:27.860 which is a formal
00:41:29.400 federal document
00:41:30.620 with special counsel
00:41:32.040 Robert Herr.
00:41:33.520 Why should he be able
00:41:34.460 to shield that?
00:41:35.360 Richard Nixon could not,
00:41:36.840 according to the U.S. Supreme Court,
00:41:38.720 shield his tapes.
00:41:41.240 Why aren't the Biden tapes
00:41:42.760 being released?
00:41:44.540 They need to be released.
00:41:46.220 The House is going to hold
00:41:48.380 the Department of Justice
00:41:50.520 in contempt
00:41:51.520 for their failure
00:41:52.540 to return them.
00:41:53.320 So hopefully,
00:41:54.340 this is going
00:41:55.660 to the Supreme Court
00:41:56.820 where all the precedents
00:41:58.600 are the Nixon-era precedents.
00:42:01.300 Nixon v. Fitzgerald
00:42:03.120 specifically.
00:42:04.280 So it's an interesting
00:42:05.280 development.
00:42:06.220 It just shows you
00:42:06.940 how completely hypocritical
00:42:08.420 and phony
00:42:09.360 the liberal Democrat
00:42:11.860 left is
00:42:13.040 in this country.
00:42:13.820 Well, especially
00:42:15.480 when it comes
00:42:15.920 to these tapes, Roger,
00:42:16.840 because even the excuse
00:42:18.300 that the Biden administration
00:42:19.380 used to say,
00:42:20.780 oh, we need to conceal
00:42:21.420 this case
00:42:21.820 because the Republicans
00:42:22.760 want them
00:42:23.320 for political reasons,
00:42:25.400 that's not a valid excuse
00:42:26.600 to conceal things like this
00:42:28.540 based on the Supreme Court
00:42:29.820 ruling that you just stated.
00:42:31.200 I mean, this is a decided matter.
00:42:33.180 Do you think
00:42:33.840 that Republicans
00:42:34.360 in the House
00:42:35.280 and in the Senate
00:42:36.120 need to make this
00:42:36.940 a top priority
00:42:37.920 to get this tape released?
00:42:39.680 I'm a little astounded
00:42:41.540 when I watched
00:42:43.000 the interview
00:42:43.740 with Attorney General
00:42:45.040 Merrick Garland
00:42:46.760 where he basically said,
00:42:48.140 well, yes,
00:42:48.440 we have an obligation
00:42:49.380 to obey,
00:42:50.660 you know,
00:42:51.680 demand for a subpoena,
00:42:53.380 but only if it's legitimate.
00:42:55.200 Well, this is passed
00:42:56.160 by the U.S.
00:42:56.820 House of Representatives.
00:42:57.780 That's the official
00:42:59.040 governing body
00:42:59.880 of the United States.
00:43:00.700 In what way
00:43:01.180 is it illegitimate?
00:43:02.460 It's not.
00:43:03.400 It's just the politics
00:43:04.340 of it for him
00:43:05.120 are inconvenient.
00:43:06.580 So does he believe
00:43:07.400 in the constitutional
00:43:08.240 principle of law
00:43:09.580 or does he not?
00:43:12.200 The Justice Department
00:43:13.180 under Donald Trump
00:43:14.100 worked to put
00:43:14.740 Donald Trump in jail
00:43:15.820 and they argued
00:43:16.760 that they were,
00:43:17.600 that they owed it
00:43:18.280 to the constitutional system
00:43:20.580 when that was politics.
00:43:22.140 Now, this is politics.
00:43:24.260 I don't know
00:43:25.020 how they can fail
00:43:26.140 to ultimately impeach him
00:43:29.500 if they could muster
00:43:31.460 the votes.
00:43:32.100 But as you know,
00:43:33.220 the problem
00:43:33.760 in the U.S. House
00:43:34.920 is not the left-wing Democrats.
00:43:37.280 It's the weak-kneed
00:43:38.660 lily-livered,
00:43:40.440 cowardly,
00:43:41.680 spineless,
00:43:43.180 go-along-to-get-along
00:43:45.360 establishment Republicans
00:43:47.500 like Tom Cole
00:43:49.300 of Oklahoma.
00:43:50.940 Tom Cole,
00:43:51.580 among a handful
00:43:52.780 of Republicans
00:43:54.460 to vote against
00:43:55.280 the censure
00:43:55.880 of the man
00:43:56.720 he calls his,
00:43:57.920 quote,
00:43:58.060 good friend,
00:43:58.820 Adam Schiff,
00:43:59.940 a man he says
00:44:01.000 that he admires.
00:44:03.260 A great member
00:44:04.140 of Congress,
00:44:05.040 Tom Cole says.
00:44:06.740 Schiff, in return,
00:44:07.720 says that he thinks
00:44:09.040 the world of Tom Cole.
00:44:11.100 There you have it, folks.
00:44:12.320 That is the uniparty
00:44:14.120 that will not stand up
00:44:15.880 and save this country.
00:44:18.820 And I just,
00:44:20.040 it is,
00:44:20.540 it is,
00:44:22.140 I think,
00:44:23.620 fraught with danger.
00:44:25.040 As unhappy as I am
00:44:26.620 with some of the things
00:44:27.720 Speaker Johnson has done,
00:44:30.560 I don't think
00:44:31.400 we can afford
00:44:32.040 the turbulence
00:44:32.920 and the risk
00:44:34.680 of trying to
00:44:35.880 change leadership
00:44:36.780 right now.
00:44:38.320 The House
00:44:40.200 margin is so thin
00:44:41.740 that we cannot
00:44:43.540 risk
00:44:44.100 Hakeem Jeffries
00:44:45.400 of New York
00:44:46.120 becoming Speaker.
00:44:47.760 And if Paul Singer,
00:44:49.320 based on a series
00:44:50.420 of articles
00:44:50.980 at slingshot.news,
00:44:52.760 goes out
00:44:53.380 and decides
00:44:53.860 to purchase
00:44:54.520 the retirement
00:44:55.460 of a couple
00:44:56.440 more Congress people,
00:44:58.200 well past the time
00:44:59.540 that their seat
00:45:00.180 can be filled
00:45:01.260 before the next election,
00:45:02.660 bringing down the,
00:45:04.720 bringing up
00:45:05.620 the number
00:45:05.960 of vacancies,
00:45:06.740 therefore bringing
00:45:07.660 down the total
00:45:08.420 number of members
00:45:09.300 in the House
00:45:10.300 to the point
00:45:11.100 where we could
00:45:11.700 actually lose
00:45:13.160 the majority.
00:45:14.560 I think we have it
00:45:15.240 by three seats
00:45:16.440 right now,
00:45:16.980 if I'm correct.
00:45:18.100 So we're in
00:45:19.220 a very precarious time,
00:45:21.100 very disappointed
00:45:22.060 in Speaker Johnson's
00:45:23.820 vote,
00:45:24.420 tie-breaking vote,
00:45:25.860 to renew
00:45:28.840 the FISA
00:45:29.920 spying,
00:45:31.320 I should say
00:45:31.780 the FISA
00:45:32.220 government
00:45:32.660 intelligence program,
00:45:33.940 which was used
00:45:35.000 illegally to spy
00:45:36.300 on President
00:45:36.980 Donald Trump.
00:45:38.440 Also,
00:45:39.040 the Republicans
00:45:39.760 not even amending
00:45:40.820 it to ensure
00:45:42.020 that it can never
00:45:42.760 be used
00:45:43.320 without a
00:45:43.980 warrant
00:45:47.680 from a federal
00:45:48.580 judge
00:45:49.080 if the surveillance
00:45:50.200 is on a
00:45:51.080 U.S. citizen.
00:45:52.920 Remember,
00:45:53.340 they told us
00:45:54.100 that the Patriot Act
00:45:55.280 and the FISA
00:45:57.400 program
00:45:57.900 were set up
00:45:58.940 to protect us
00:45:59.820 from foreign
00:46:00.920 threats to us,
00:46:03.240 but as you know,
00:46:03.900 they have been
00:46:04.320 abused to spy
00:46:05.940 on American
00:46:07.020 citizens.
00:46:08.180 So I would say
00:46:09.340 the Speaker's
00:46:10.060 vote here
00:46:10.780 was deeply
00:46:11.420 disappointing,
00:46:12.680 shipping off
00:46:13.200 another $62 billion
00:46:14.480 for Ukraine,
00:46:15.880 deeply disappointing.
00:46:18.500 I don't know
00:46:20.240 that he could
00:46:21.400 survive.
00:46:22.020 If the Republicans
00:46:22.580 hold the House,
00:46:23.480 I don't even know
00:46:24.320 that he will be
00:46:25.020 the Speaker.
00:46:26.040 Look,
00:46:26.460 I like that he's
00:46:27.160 endorsed President
00:46:27.880 Trump.
00:46:28.760 He seems like
00:46:29.600 a nice fellow.
00:46:30.340 He certainly
00:46:30.740 seems like a good
00:46:31.500 Christian,
00:46:32.340 but on some
00:46:33.280 of these crucial
00:46:34.040 issues,
00:46:34.800 I think that
00:46:35.860 he is
00:46:36.600 underwhelming.
00:46:38.360 Anyway,
00:46:39.120 we're going to
00:46:40.440 go to a commercial
00:46:41.020 break here before,
00:46:41.880 so let me just say,
00:46:42.800 before we do that,
00:46:43.980 folks,
00:46:44.300 go to
00:46:44.540 StoneZone.com.
00:46:46.020 You can subscribe
00:46:46.840 there for free.
00:46:47.960 Go to
00:46:48.460 Slingshot.news.
00:46:49.880 You can also
00:46:50.760 subscribe there
00:46:51.700 for free.
00:46:52.480 We'll be right back.
00:46:53.760 We've learned
00:47:00.840 through the pandemic
00:47:01.680 we can never
00:47:02.580 be caught
00:47:03.280 unprepared again.
00:47:04.980 And so many
00:47:05.520 Americans,
00:47:06.300 when COVID hit,
00:47:07.240 they had nothing
00:47:07.760 in the house.
00:47:08.680 Stores were
00:47:09.340 shut down,
00:47:10.380 and doctors'
00:47:11.260 offices were
00:47:11.840 shut down,
00:47:12.600 and even if
00:47:13.340 doctors prescribed
00:47:14.240 drugs,
00:47:14.780 hydroxychloroquine,
00:47:15.820 ivermectin,
00:47:16.640 pharmacists wouldn't
00:47:17.440 fill the prescriptions.
00:47:19.540 That was a nightmare.
00:47:20.820 Now the situation
00:47:22.200 is much worse.
00:47:23.260 We have these
00:47:23.980 horrible supply chain
00:47:25.240 problems.
00:47:26.480 In our emergency
00:47:27.800 medical kit
00:47:28.580 at the wellness
00:47:29.260 company,
00:47:30.380 we have eight
00:47:31.320 prescription drugs
00:47:32.960 that are all
00:47:34.080 potentially
00:47:34.940 life-saving.
00:47:36.620 Most people
00:47:37.180 have died with COVID.
00:47:38.120 They died in the
00:47:38.660 hospital because
00:47:39.680 they didn't receive
00:47:40.340 early treatment.
00:47:41.520 Every American
00:47:42.960 family should have
00:47:44.060 one of these.
00:47:50.820 I can tell you
00:47:53.200 the wellness
00:47:53.620 company kit
00:47:54.520 is the answer.
00:48:01.820 About 30 years
00:48:03.040 ago,
00:48:03.420 I had the
00:48:03.820 opportunity to
00:48:04.600 go into the
00:48:05.100 Amazon rainforest
00:48:05.900 and study their
00:48:06.840 medicinal treasures,
00:48:08.280 and the one
00:48:08.780 that really
00:48:09.240 captured my
00:48:09.920 imagination
00:48:10.440 was cat's
00:48:11.360 claw.
00:48:12.280 After all the
00:48:12.940 discussions and
00:48:13.920 interviews with
00:48:15.440 the locals,
00:48:16.700 I went back to
00:48:17.440 the lab and I
00:48:18.060 found that it
00:48:19.140 was the most
00:48:20.160 potent inhibitor
00:48:21.480 of a switch
00:48:22.700 called NF-kappa-B.
00:48:24.680 NF-kappa-B is
00:48:25.820 normally dormant
00:48:26.660 and with oxidative
00:48:28.140 stress,
00:48:28.760 it migrates to
00:48:30.160 the nucleus and
00:48:30.920 it regulates
00:48:31.600 thousands of
00:48:32.900 genes involved
00:48:34.260 in inflammation.
00:48:35.380 Turning some
00:48:35.880 off,
00:48:36.640 turning some
00:48:37.100 off.
00:48:37.920 And if you
00:48:38.440 suppress NF-kappa-B,
00:48:40.280 keep it inactive,
00:48:41.640 which is what
00:48:42.120 cat's claw does,
00:48:43.480 then you're able
00:48:44.460 to temper down
00:48:45.740 all that stress
00:48:46.920 on the body.
00:48:48.220 So cat's claw,
00:48:49.000 I've been using
00:48:50.200 it ever since,
00:48:51.320 so the scientist
00:48:52.020 actually takes
00:48:53.220 his own
00:48:53.620 medicine.
00:49:12.400 Welcome back,
00:49:13.440 folks.
00:49:13.740 We're back in
00:49:14.420 the stone zone.
00:49:15.180 I do want to
00:49:15.820 mention that if
00:49:16.540 you have not
00:49:17.160 seen the epic
00:49:19.200 biographical
00:49:20.820 documentary,
00:49:22.260 Flynn,
00:49:23.100 I very,
00:49:24.340 very highly
00:49:25.140 recommend it.
00:49:26.340 I wrote a
00:49:27.160 review of it
00:49:28.020 at thestonezone.com.
00:49:30.340 It was
00:49:30.980 graciously also
00:49:32.040 picked up at the
00:49:32.800 Western Journal.
00:49:33.940 This is a
00:49:34.420 powerful movie
00:49:35.360 that tells you
00:49:36.240 why I admire
00:49:37.360 General Flynn
00:49:38.240 so much
00:49:39.100 and how much
00:49:40.260 and why I
00:49:41.020 respect him
00:49:41.660 as a leader,
00:49:42.720 as a Christian
00:49:43.920 and as a man.
00:49:45.660 This film tells
00:49:46.300 you not only
00:49:46.900 what they did
00:49:48.060 to him and
00:49:48.760 his family,
00:49:49.440 but explains
00:49:50.260 a great deal
00:49:50.900 why they did
00:49:52.120 it and the
00:49:53.140 danger he posed
00:49:54.280 from those
00:49:54.960 who would steal
00:49:56.000 our constitutional
00:49:57.100 values.
00:49:57.920 So do yourself
00:49:58.940 a favor.
00:49:59.760 You can go to
00:50:00.340 FlynnMovie.com,
00:50:02.800 get the schedule.
00:50:04.780 General Flynn
00:50:05.540 is on the road.
00:50:06.640 There are showings
00:50:07.780 across the country.
00:50:09.220 Looks like they
00:50:09.700 had a great time
00:50:10.560 last night in Tulsa.
00:50:11.580 I saw my friend
00:50:12.980 Jackson Lawmire,
00:50:16.200 Pastor Jackson
00:50:16.940 Lawmire,
00:50:17.860 there last night.
00:50:19.160 I wish I could
00:50:19.760 have been in Tulsa.
00:50:21.320 Some of the best
00:50:22.420 pizza you've ever
00:50:23.840 had, by the way.
00:50:25.140 So anyway,
00:50:26.360 Troy, let's
00:50:26.900 continue.
00:50:28.880 Whatever, Roger,
00:50:29.680 and I'll add on
00:50:30.380 to that, you know,
00:50:30.920 the Flynn movie.
00:50:31.640 We were able to
00:50:32.160 see that together
00:50:33.000 on the other
00:50:34.600 coast here in
00:50:35.300 Florida.
00:50:35.760 It's a great film.
00:50:36.700 Couldn't recommend
00:50:37.260 it enough.
00:50:38.020 And it's important
00:50:39.480 because we're heading
00:50:40.080 into the 2024
00:50:40.800 election,
00:50:41.420 which is so
00:50:41.920 crucial to
00:50:43.040 keeping American
00:50:44.760 values alive.
00:50:45.840 You know,
00:50:45.980 Roger, I feel like
00:50:46.620 we're experiencing
00:50:47.640 a period right now
00:50:48.400 where the light
00:50:48.880 bulb, American
00:50:49.960 liberty,
00:50:50.540 prosperity is
00:50:51.280 getting very dim,
00:50:52.660 as dim as I
00:50:53.220 ever remember it.
00:50:54.160 And part of this
00:50:55.580 is the polling
00:50:57.100 that we're going
00:50:57.640 into the election
00:50:58.300 now.
00:50:58.720 And what I see
00:51:00.400 is what you've
00:51:01.320 been predicting,
00:51:02.160 all along is that
00:51:02.820 President Donald
00:51:03.640 Trump is dominating
00:51:04.700 in a lot of these
00:51:05.400 swing states,
00:51:05.880 states, but he
00:51:06.680 remains under the
00:51:07.620 50% threshold that
00:51:09.360 we've talked about
00:51:10.020 here.
00:51:10.220 And I want you to
00:51:10.720 kind of get into
00:51:11.380 here.
00:51:11.860 Let's play a short
00:51:12.620 video of showing
00:51:14.360 the swing state
00:51:15.160 polling heading into
00:51:16.280 2024, where President
00:51:17.440 Trump is cracking the
00:51:18.560 50% number in nearly
00:51:20.080 every single swing
00:51:21.720 state.
00:51:22.040 But despite it all,
00:51:23.780 the state of the race
00:51:24.600 remains stagnant.
00:51:26.220 Biden continues to
00:51:27.280 trail former President
00:51:28.340 Trump in several key
00:51:29.520 battleground states,
00:51:30.640 down by double digits
00:51:32.000 in Nevada and Georgia
00:51:33.200 states he won in 2020.
00:51:36.860 So, Roger, your
00:51:37.700 thoughts, do you think
00:51:38.580 Trump is close to
00:51:39.540 cracking that wall where
00:51:40.540 he's almost going to be
00:51:41.260 a favorite going into
00:51:42.160 this election?
00:51:43.180 Well, it is a general
00:51:44.360 rule of thumb when
00:51:45.300 you're studying polling
00:51:46.360 that it's the incumbent
00:51:47.580 who has to be at 50
00:51:48.880 to be safe.
00:51:50.160 So Joe Biden has a lot
00:51:51.540 more to worry about in
00:51:52.420 these numbers than
00:51:53.180 Donald Trump.
00:51:54.200 The challenger doesn't
00:51:55.180 have to have 50 this
00:51:56.540 far out.
00:51:57.680 The challenger will
00:51:58.460 ultimately have to
00:51:59.600 pass 50 or in a
00:52:01.660 multi-candidate race,
00:52:03.420 win with a plurality,
00:52:04.860 but win a solid
00:52:06.120 victory in the
00:52:07.940 Electoral College.
00:52:09.360 Even if Robert F.
00:52:10.480 Kennedy does manage
00:52:12.040 to get on the ballot
00:52:13.080 in enough states to
00:52:14.860 win 270 electoral
00:52:17.140 votes, theoretically,
00:52:19.040 which I think is
00:52:19.420 highly unlikely, I
00:52:20.760 still think it's
00:52:21.520 that without that,
00:52:22.860 and perhaps even
00:52:23.540 with that, he's
00:52:24.720 unlikely to make any
00:52:25.940 of the national
00:52:26.700 debates, which could
00:52:28.280 be pivotal in this
00:52:29.540 race.
00:52:30.180 But more importantly,
00:52:31.100 there is no state
00:52:32.020 you can point to
00:52:33.560 that he is likely
00:52:34.700 to carry.
00:52:36.020 Therefore, the chances
00:52:36.940 of this going
00:52:38.980 into the House
00:52:40.340 is unlikely.
00:52:42.360 Don't think he's
00:52:42.940 going to deny
00:52:43.620 either Trump or
00:52:45.260 Biden any
00:52:46.040 individual states.
00:52:48.300 Trump and Biden
00:52:50.020 are locked into
00:52:50.680 a relatively
00:52:51.340 close race.
00:52:52.260 I like where the
00:52:53.320 president is much
00:52:54.220 better.
00:52:54.960 His polls are
00:52:55.660 stronger.
00:52:56.520 His support is
00:52:57.480 intense.
00:52:58.480 So not only is he
00:52:59.720 continuing to
00:53:00.560 galvanize those
00:53:01.940 voters he already
00:53:02.780 has, but he is
00:53:04.320 picking up votes,
00:53:05.540 if you look at the
00:53:06.360 cost tabs, in the
00:53:08.180 surveys among
00:53:09.360 African Americans,
00:53:11.160 among Hispanic
00:53:11.980 Americans, against
00:53:13.480 younger Americans,
00:53:15.560 against Asian
00:53:16.980 Americans, far
00:53:18.800 beyond the
00:53:19.600 Republican Party's
00:53:20.740 previous track
00:53:21.920 record among
00:53:22.800 those voters.
00:53:24.000 This is why he
00:53:25.800 was elected in
00:53:26.520 2016 and why
00:53:28.140 Mitt Romney was
00:53:29.280 not elected in
00:53:30.460 2012, because
00:53:32.500 Romney could not
00:53:34.500 make a vote
00:53:35.600 into these
00:53:36.720 voters, many of
00:53:37.820 whom voted for
00:53:38.720 Obama, or many of
00:53:40.060 whom are new
00:53:41.000 voters.
00:53:41.860 So the race is
00:53:42.940 very far from
00:53:44.200 over.
00:53:44.840 We'll have many,
00:53:45.660 many twists and
00:53:47.180 turns.
00:53:48.640 The debate is
00:53:50.320 an unprecedented
00:53:51.400 event.
00:53:53.160 Two now
00:53:54.000 scheduled debates
00:53:55.340 we have never
00:53:56.560 in the history of
00:53:57.360 the country had
00:53:58.520 a presidential
00:53:59.700 debate between
00:54:00.580 Republicans and
00:54:01.420 Democrats before
00:54:02.960 the national
00:54:04.020 conventions that
00:54:05.380 nominated those
00:54:06.260 candidates.
00:54:07.280 So Donald Trump
00:54:07.960 is not today the
00:54:09.120 legal nominee of
00:54:10.540 the Republican
00:54:10.980 Party, even
00:54:12.320 though he has
00:54:13.180 earned enough
00:54:13.900 delegates to
00:54:15.100 easily be
00:54:15.840 nominated formally
00:54:17.000 at their
00:54:17.920 convention in
00:54:18.920 July.
00:54:20.460 Joe Biden is
00:54:21.300 not the
00:54:22.200 nominee of the
00:54:23.180 Democratic Party,
00:54:24.240 although he has
00:54:25.820 essentially no
00:54:27.080 opposition and
00:54:28.360 therefore will
00:54:29.040 theoretically have
00:54:30.000 enough delegates
00:54:30.760 to be nominated
00:54:32.100 at their
00:54:33.080 convention in
00:54:34.080 Chicago, which
00:54:35.160 is August.
00:54:36.460 Normally, by
00:54:37.260 the way, the
00:54:38.500 party that is
00:54:40.040 out goes
00:54:40.940 second.
00:54:41.720 The in-party
00:54:42.540 goes first.
00:54:43.880 I don't know
00:54:44.280 why that has
00:54:44.900 been reversed,
00:54:46.280 but the
00:54:48.320 president shows
00:54:49.620 enormous courage
00:54:50.800 going into the
00:54:52.240 lion's den in
00:54:53.160 CNN, rules that
00:54:55.120 allegedly say that
00:54:56.440 CNN can turn the
00:54:57.840 president's microphone
00:54:58.760 off while Joe
00:55:00.040 Biden is lying, I
00:55:01.000 mean speaking,
00:55:02.080 that there will be
00:55:05.740 no studio audience,
00:55:07.140 and of course, the
00:55:08.440 two moderators
00:55:09.400 aren't moderators
00:55:10.380 at all, they're
00:55:11.040 muggers.
00:55:12.180 This is going to
00:55:13.360 be a three-on-one
00:55:15.320 debate.
00:55:16.120 Now, my money's
00:55:17.160 still on Donald
00:55:17.880 Trump because he's
00:55:19.140 a brawler, and I
00:55:21.020 think this was a
00:55:22.340 gambit by Joe.
00:55:24.980 He was certain
00:55:26.060 that Trump would
00:55:26.620 turn this down.
00:55:27.840 Now he's pissing
00:55:29.020 his pants because
00:55:30.620 he's afraid to
00:55:32.500 debate Donald
00:55:33.200 Trump even in a
00:55:34.080 rigged situation.
00:55:36.560 This is going to
00:55:37.720 be epic if it all
00:55:39.140 holds together.
00:55:40.320 I do agree one
00:55:41.160 thing, though,
00:55:41.740 Troy, and this is
00:55:42.420 important.
00:55:43.540 Joe Biden should
00:55:44.400 take a drug test
00:55:46.140 immediately.
00:55:47.440 I don't mean a
00:55:48.020 two days, I don't
00:55:48.880 mean three days
00:55:49.440 previously, immediately
00:55:50.740 before the debate.
00:55:51.940 I mean, in the hour
00:55:52.720 before the debate,
00:55:53.940 both he and Trump
00:55:54.760 should take drug
00:55:55.840 tests to see if
00:55:57.160 they're hopped up on
00:55:58.280 anything.
00:55:59.500 Trump says he's
00:56:00.420 willing to take
00:56:01.020 one.
00:56:01.780 We still don't have
00:56:02.800 an answer from
00:56:03.880 Joe Biden.
00:56:06.120 Well, I think that's
00:56:07.320 important because we
00:56:08.060 all saw the state of
00:56:08.800 the union, and I
00:56:09.780 think it's important
00:56:10.500 because there's
00:56:11.720 going to be, I
00:56:12.460 think, a trap
00:56:13.000 element to this,
00:56:14.380 Roger, because
00:56:14.740 politically, the
00:56:16.260 Biden administration
00:56:16.940 continues to show
00:56:17.840 signs that they're
00:56:18.460 cracking under the
00:56:19.260 pressure, mostly
00:56:20.420 when it comes to
00:56:21.020 their own
00:56:21.340 Democratic voters.
00:56:22.400 And there's video
00:56:22.940 that's kind of
00:56:23.440 breaking.
00:56:23.900 I wanted to bring
00:56:24.380 this up today.
00:56:25.600 Anthony Blinken
00:56:26.280 was met with
00:56:27.020 anti-Israel
00:56:27.860 protesters in
00:56:29.380 Congress today.
00:56:30.680 They broke up
00:56:31.420 his testimony, and
00:56:32.740 there was security
00:56:33.820 that carried him
00:56:34.380 out.
00:56:34.580 Let's roll that
00:56:35.100 clip real closely to
00:56:35.940 show just how
00:56:37.080 badly the
00:56:37.640 Democrat Party
00:56:38.300 is splitting
00:56:38.840 heading into
00:56:39.520 2024.
00:56:40.720 He is a war
00:56:41.520 criminal.
00:56:42.400 He is a war
00:56:43.160 criminal.
00:56:43.960 The blood of
00:56:44.780 40,000 people
00:56:46.080 is on his hands.
00:56:47.640 The blood of
00:56:48.520 40,000
00:56:55.400 people.
00:56:56.080 Mr. Secretary, you may continue.
00:57:15.680 So, Roger, your thoughts on Anthony Blinken's testimony being disrupted today by anti-Israel protesters?
00:57:21.400 Look, the Democrats and the Biden administration are playing a dangerous double game.
00:57:28.300 They have to know that when they unfreeze more than $100 billion in assets, but more particularly when they lift all the sanctions stopping Iran from selling their oil, they have turbocharged the Iranian economy.
00:57:43.560 In our first segment, Jack Posobiec touched on the delicacy internally, politically there, but we have turbocharged their economy.
00:57:55.440 They told us before they got the money, in terms of the unfrozen assets, that they would use it for only humanitarian purposes.
00:58:03.760 Humanitarian purposes like restarting their nuclear weapons development program.
00:58:10.340 Humanitarian purposes like financing the October 7th murderers of thousands of Jews.
00:58:17.120 So, it is naive to think that you can fund them, but they will behave.
00:58:22.520 In fact, it's the exact opposite.
00:58:24.020 The last president, Barack Obama, was so naive that he made a deal with them, which he paid the millions of dollars not to develop nuclear weapons.
00:58:34.060 At the same time, he delivered pallets of side cash that wasn't addressed in the signed agreement so that everybody, all the boys, got bribed.
00:58:42.800 It reminded me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where Governor William J. Pettimane is handing out paddle boards to his cronies.
00:58:52.580 It was that bad.
00:58:54.080 So, it is, it's extraordinary to see, this is very much like 1968 when the Vietnam War drove a deep division among the liberals in the Democratic Party.
00:59:08.120 This is happening again.
00:59:10.680 Chicago is going to be like Chicago was in 1968.
00:59:14.640 Not saying that Antifa and BLM and other foreign-financed extremist violent groups who don't seem to be held to the same legal standards as others will not be causing problems in Milwaukee.
00:59:30.820 They will.
00:59:31.800 But the party they control is the party where they want to fight.
00:59:36.160 And Joe Biden now basically backdooring Israel, insisting, giving Israel all the rhetorical support they need, plus a lot of money, but also backing their rivals.
00:59:52.100 I mean, the idea that the Iranians would launch a missile and drone strike at Israel, but conveniently call the Egyptians to tell them to call the Americans, to tell them to call the Israelis to get ready because it's coming, it shows you what a kabuki theater this whole thing is.
01:00:13.940 Now, the Iron Dome worked, the anti-missile and anti-drone technology of Israel, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the Jordanians, the French, and the British working together limited the potential damage the experts told us that that attack could have made.
01:00:37.740 But is the purpose here to get more money so we got to have some action so we can go back to the Congress and tell them we need printing press billions more?
01:00:49.100 It's kind of like FBI Director Christopher Wray saying just before the FISA renewal vote, the boogeyman is going to get us if we don't renew this.
01:00:59.160 I mean, the Chinese have, they've broken, they're about to break into the power grid.
01:01:04.980 Please give me the authority to spy on U.S. citizens.
01:01:08.920 It's ludicrous, the theatrics of all of this.
01:01:14.500 All right, we have to leave it there, folks.
01:01:16.700 We thank you for tuning in at the Stone Zone.
01:01:19.660 Again, you can follow us at 8 p.m. by going to rumble.com slash Roger Stone.
01:01:26.680 We would appreciate it there, 8 o'clock every weekday.
01:01:31.160 On behalf of the Stone Zone, I'm Roger Stone.
01:01:34.520 This is my co-host, Troy Smith, and we wish you, God bless you, and Godspeed.
01:01:40.800 A man who's gone through hell, but he's kept going, and he's smart, and he's strong, and people love him.
01:01:49.620 Not everybody, but people love him and respect him.
01:01:52.080 Roger Stone.
01:01:53.140 Where's Roger Stone?
01:01:54.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:56.340 Yeah.
