00:01:10.820And following Trump's Bronx rally, we've got plenty to talk about.
00:01:13.580So, Donald Trump, once again, roils the political world, doing something that has only been done once before.
00:01:22.500In this case, as you know, presidential candidate Ronald Reagan went to the South Bronx.
00:01:30.800Many people questioned the political wisdom of that.
00:01:34.740I was working as the Northeastern Regional Political Director for Ronald Reagan at the time.
00:01:42.240I felt strongly that going to the South Bronx was an important symbolic visit.
00:01:47.840Ray Donovan, who was, at that point, the finance chairman of Ronald Reagan's campaign in New Jersey, was a strong proponent.
00:01:58.200Dr. James F. X. O'Rourke, the former mayor of Yonkers, former Westchester County New York Republican chairman, and the chairman of President Reagan's campaign, then Governor Reagan in New York, agreed with me.
00:02:16.220And we were able to persuade Mike Deaver and other advisors to candidate Reagan that the trip to the South Bronx was politically important and worthwhile.
00:03:30.100And we have some highlights from that speech.
00:03:32.300And then right after that, we want to show the crowd size and get your comments on some of the remarks made by President Donald Trump yesterday in the Bronx, a historic rally.
00:03:40.180We must work together as a team to win.
00:03:56.980New York has always been the home of proud patriots like you.
00:04:05.480New York was the city loved by Teddy Roosevelt, Norman Rockwell, the great Flo Ziegfeld, General Douglas MacArthur, George Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, and in baseball alone, Babe Ruth, Lou Garrick, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, and many, many others.
00:04:29.660It's a city where workers and skilled craftsmen strode across steel beams 80 stories high to build the great Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building and all of the others.
00:04:41.300It's the city that lit up the shining lights of Broadway that turned Times Square from a seedy, dirty, long-forgotten area into one of the greatest crossroads of light and glamour anywhere in the world.
00:04:54.240It's a city that produced generations of everyday American heroes who willingly spilled their blood and gave everything they had to make America into the greatest nation in the history of the world.
00:05:08.200Above all, this is the place that every one of us here today has been proud to call our home, our town, our city.
00:05:16.300And we are the ones who are going to make our city great again.
00:05:20.520Very simply, Joe Biden puts illegal aliens first.
00:07:23.340As you know, she's running for Congress against the socialist bartender, AOC, in that district, the district where you saw Donald Trump speaking.
00:07:34.500And the counter protesting she predicted turned out to be not much.
00:07:39.640And the claim that Trump would have a thin crowd, that turned out to be false as well.
00:07:46.620So it's the whole thing is extraordinarily exciting.
00:07:50.640I can't even begin to tell you how much I wish that I could have been there, but I could not possibly have done the Stone Zone and also been there.
00:08:01.600Well, and, Roger, I want to throw in there, you know, we have so much to look forward to as far as future rallies, because I think the president is getting more energized as things go on here.
00:08:12.040And I'm seeing him get more. And that was really what you saw there is an energetic Trump in his home.
00:08:17.880I mean, he is a New Yorker. That's where he built his entire career.
00:08:20.980And I think he has a tremendous amount of pride about that city and the people who live there.
00:08:25.500So for him, and AOC said this, Roger, she said it out loud.
00:08:30.600She said that the trials in New York are a way of handcuffing Trump to a Democrat state.
00:08:36.720And I think why the Democrats in the media and the Democrats like Kathy Hochul, who we're going to play here in a second, are so angry about this rally is because he took their lemons and he made lemonade.
00:08:47.920He took the fact that he's stuck in New York with a fraud trial where they bring up people like Michael Cohen, a convicted liar who admitted to stealing over $50,000 from the Trump organization.
00:08:58.620They've tried to saddle him with this and he's taken their lemons and he's made lemonade and he had one of the most successful rallies there in the Bronx that I think I've, I mean, definitely that I've ever seen in the area.
00:09:11.220And we have, I want to get your reaction to this, Roger, because this is really disgusting.
00:09:15.620We had the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, going on CNN last night to attack the people who attended this rally and Donald Trump himself as clowns.
00:09:26.120Well, I'll tell you it won't make a difference at all, Jake, and that is for Donald Trump to be the ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.
00:09:35.560New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president.
00:09:39.720We know him better than anyone, and that means we understand what he's all about.
00:09:45.280So this state will go solidly behind Joe Biden for president, as it has in the past.
00:09:51.340So he wants to spend his time doing these made-up fake rallies and pretending there's support here.
00:09:57.120Be my guest, because while you're doing that, Donald Trump, Joe Biden's out there on the other side making sure he's delivering for all Americans.
00:10:05.780And so go ahead, spend all your time you want in New York, because we'll be with Joe Biden, and Joe Biden's out there winning over the rest of the battleground states.
00:10:15.280You know, I never understood the strategy of attacking the supporters of your opponent.
00:10:22.340This reminds me of when Hillary Clinton referred to Trump supporters in 2016 as deplorables.
00:10:30.660Now, understanding how the Clinton campaign worked, she never said anything that wasn't focus-grouped, poll-tested, round-tabled.
00:10:45.840That was a willful political decision to attack the voters.
00:10:50.820You saw Kathy Hochul, one of the worst governors of the country, in the country, who's presiding over a fiscal disaster, a crime disaster.
00:11:03.220New York State is in deep, deep trouble because of their revolving door criminal justice policies, their high-tax and outrageous spending policies.
00:11:15.640You've got to actually wonder, did she really believe all that crap she just said, or is it just she got talking points from the DNC and just reads them on CNN?
00:11:25.820Well, Roger, I think what your latter point there is exactly right, because we have another Biden spokesman or, you know, I believe they call him a – what was the official term here?
00:11:38.240They called him some kind of handler, spokesman or something along those lines.
00:11:41.840And he was – his name is Richie Torres, and he was on Mainstream News kind of repeating the same talking points as Kathy Hochul.
00:11:51.520Well, Donald Trump's presidency was a catastrophe for the Bronx.
00:11:56.120His gross mismanagement of the COVID-19 global pandemic left a death toll of more than 7,000 fatalities in the Bronx,
00:12:04.520which is greater than the death count of 9-11 and Pearl Harbor combined.
00:12:08.800So Donald Trump has brought preventable death and deep suffering to the people of the Bronx.
00:12:15.440And as I noted, instead of holding a rally, he should be issuing an apology to the people of the Bronx for the long and lasting damage that he has done,
00:12:23.760not only to the Bronx, but to our country.
00:12:26.980I'm not sure what he means when he talks about the mismanagement of the pandemic at 19,
00:12:31.760since Mr. Torres is a major, major advocate of the COVID-19 vaccination and not interested in the safety or the effectiveness of it.
00:12:42.720President Trump, by the way, despite the advice of the doctors who tried to stop him to do so,
00:12:49.540went out there and told people, yes, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, both of these can be helpful.
00:25:27.620Again, when you get down to it, the next presidential election is going to come down to about six states and about or seven states and about 60 counties nationwide.
00:25:39.420That means that everything else in the country, based on history and trends, pretty predictable.
00:25:47.220Those who look at the New York Times poll and see that President Trump is ahead should not rest on their laurels.
00:25:57.660People say, oh, well, we need to bring in a margin that's too big to rig.
00:26:02.020Oh, we need to bring in a margin to beat the cheap.
00:26:04.740Laudable, yes, we need to build up as big a vote for Donald Trump and the Republican ticket as we possibly can.
00:26:13.360However, there are other issues that have to be dealt with.
00:26:17.340The safety and security of these computerized voting machines is a legitimate issue.
00:26:23.720The chain of custody of mail-in ballots is a legitimate issue.
00:26:29.100The requirement to check signatures in the voter registrations against those who show up desiring to vote.
00:26:37.560These are legitimate election integrity issues.
00:26:42.020So I'm hopeful that the party and the Trump campaign, who I know are very focused on this, are working very hard to make up for lost ground.
00:26:54.440Things that should have been done under the old leadership of the Republican National Committee is going to be done under this leadership.
00:27:02.860Troy, I want to bring up a topic here.
00:27:06.020Obviously, last week when we learned that the Justice Department under Merrick Garland approved a deadly use of force on the raid at Mar-a-Lago,
00:27:19.840it really triggered the PTSD of both myself and my wife because, well, as you know, we faced a raid on our home on January 25th, 2019.
00:27:30.920I opened the front door of my home looking down the barrel of two fully automatic M4 assault weapons brandished by the 29 heavily armed FBI agents who had surrounded my home.
00:27:46.800I had an opportunity to go on with Alex Jones on InfoWars and do a quick interview on this.
00:27:54.400And then, Troy, in all honesty, I'm going to head to the airport, going to visit relatives this Memorial Day weekend, and therefore the floor will be yours and you can close the Stone Zone.
00:28:07.960Take a look at this great interview with Alex Jones.
00:28:11.000Roger, thanks for coming on on short notice.
00:28:15.900We'll show the FBI documents that they didn't want made public.
00:28:20.080This, of course, the same FBI working at the behest of Jack Smith, the illegally appointed special counsel who has already been excoriated for falsifying documents in the national security documents case.
00:28:32.640I mean, just you talk about a Midas touch, everything you touch turns to gold.
00:28:37.220Everything the Democrats touch literally turns to shit in their face.
00:28:46.340I apologize last night when you called me.
00:28:48.440I was a little proggy, and I think we were both shocked by these revelations that Attorney General Merrick Garland authorized the use of deadly force in the raid on Mar-a-Lago, a raid over documents.
00:29:03.740Now, fortunately, President Trump was not in Florida, and I believe they knew that.
00:29:08.820So, those today online claiming that this was a botched assassination attempt, I think that is a gross overstatement.
00:29:18.980But what this did do, Alex, was it triggered the PTSD that my wife and I both suffer from.
00:29:26.240Very clearly, deadly force was authorized in the raid on my home on January 25th, 2019, when I answered a pounding on the door, looking down the barrel of two fully automatic M4 assault weapons.
00:29:47.800We know from the security tape, my home was completely surrounded by fully SWAT-clad FBI agents.
00:29:56.560And I remind you, Alex, that this was for an arrest for a first-time nonviolent crime of allegedly lying to Congress in my voluntary testimony.
00:30:08.600So, all they really had to do was to contact my attorneys, and, of course, I would have turned myself in.
00:30:15.260They claimed that I had to be arrested in this over-the-top way, the same way they claimed that they had to raid Mar-a-Lago.
00:30:25.540In my case, they claimed that I was a flight risk, which is absurd, because four hours later, when I was arraigned, they asked for no cash bond.
00:30:35.580They allowed me to be released on my own recognizance.
00:30:39.080And, of course, CNN illegally was tipped off to it and got caught lying about it.
00:30:42.500So, absolutely, what do you make of Trump sounding the alarm over DOJ's deadly force order and Mar-a-Lago raid?
00:30:47.920Biden's a serious threat to our republic.
00:30:50.140I mean, what do you think the DOJ was thinking when they go to the former president, the real president's residence, one of the most, if not most beautiful country club in the world, and then they're in plain clothes, which could have had the Secret Service think they're being assaulted by an outside group, unannounced coming, treating the Secret Service like they're some Al-Qaeda organization.
00:31:12.400No, Alex, I think you're exactly right.
00:31:16.120You understand why the president is reacting to this the way he is.
00:31:20.300Look, as the judge in the Florida so-called documents case, Eileen Cannon, you know, who is a Cuban-American, who is a former prosecutor, very highly respected as a prosecutor and as an attorney, the talking heads at MSNBC would have you believe that she's incompetent or unqualified.
00:31:41.740No, she is the thing they hate the most, an honest judge, an honest judge who goes by the law.
00:31:48.080And Judge Cannon has systematically worked to unredact the vast majority of special counsel Jack Smith's case.
00:31:58.400It's very clear that Smith does not want the American people to know exactly what documents we're talking about here.
00:32:06.840What documents was the government so desperate to get back?
00:32:10.700What documents did Donald Trump hold on to, I think, consistent with law under the Presidential Records Act, that they wanted to get out of his hands?
00:32:20.500I continue to believe that they are the documents that prove the criminal conspiracy by the government in Crossfire Hurricane and that that is what this is all about.
00:32:32.600But because of an honest judge who has systematically refused to allow Jack Smith to operate in secret, we now know that they authorized deadly force against the president.
00:32:50.600You're absolutely right. I don't have deep experience in law enforcement, but this was potentially an extraordinarily dangerous situation.
00:33:00.600It's amazing how many people online tell me when they read about the raid in my home that they wish that I'd made a false move.
00:33:08.800They wish that I had been shot and killed.
00:33:12.200The worst part of this, Alex, and I'm sure Melania Trump can appreciate this, just as the FBI rummaged through my wife's underwear draw, my wife's clothing, they rummaged through and took pictures of Melania Trump's personal effects, rummaged through her underwear draw.
00:33:31.200I can't think of any legitimate purpose for this, but I think it's important to recognize that as the so-called documents case in which they hope to lock Donald Trump up to convict him of a crime and lock him up prior to the election has essentially disintegrated because an honest judge wants the American people to see all the facts, which is why the special counsel then shifted his focus to D.C.
00:34:01.200And the authorization of deadly force. A lot of people online saying, oh, no, this is standard protocol. This is this is normal. No, my sources tell me it is not normal.
00:34:14.200They also tell me that Attorney General Merrick Garland, I just saw a clip in which he says himself that he authorized this raid, which means he authorized every aspect of this raid.
00:34:25.200There you see it right there. By the way, the journalist Julie Kelly, who is on X, formerly known as Twitter, does an excellent job of grabbing these documents, figure out what they mean, highlighting them as you've seen and getting them out to the American people.
00:34:42.520Alex, I was shocked last night when I saw this, as I know you were.
00:34:47.480Well, I'm just surprised when I called you at 11 p.m. Central midnight that you answered. I was just leaving you a message and you answered and then said, sorry, I'm sleepy.
00:34:55.640I'll come on. So don't apologize for that. Thanks for thanks for picking up, Roger.
00:34:58.880But again, this is just like a cherry on top, whipped cream, nuts on top of this giant sundae of tyranny.
00:35:05.960And all it's doing is turning everybody against the system.
00:35:10.120The FBI, the Justice Department, all of them are total jokes, but they just keep doubling down.
00:35:15.040What do you expect them to do now with the incredible fiasco that was the Stormy Daniels situation with Cohen just completely going belly up day after day on the stand?
00:35:29.560I'm really not surprised, Alex, because the Mueller grand jury heard from Michael Cohen for hours.
00:35:36.780He under oath before in the Senate and the House made a number of false accusations against me.
00:35:42.680Yet the government never raised those in my trial, nor did they elect to call him as a witness.
00:35:47.940I think that's because they understood that he has severe credibility problems.
00:35:53.740And the bottom line of the New York trial, I think, is that former federal prosecutor Robert Costello, even though Judge Juan Merchant put substantial restrictions on the scope of his testimony, was a devastating witness.
00:36:11.700But the worst witness in terms of the impact on this case was Michael Cohen himself, as Jonathan Turley, the George Washington University law professor who does an online commentary, also writes for the New York Post.
00:36:27.920Certainly not a conservative, not a Trump supporter, just I think an honest legal analyst says that Cohen never connected Trump to these financial transactions.
00:36:39.160But the judge would not let a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission testify in Trump's defense, which is really quite extraordinary because that gentleman would have told the jury and the court that they had investigated this matter and there was no crime.
00:36:58.380Let's cut to the chase. What will happen? Look, I have been in this particular hot seat in a hostile jurisdiction.
00:37:06.760I think the chances of the president being acquitted, even though he should be acquitted.
00:37:11.240In fact, the whole case should be dismissed. But I think the chances of him being acquitted with this many partisans and Trump-aiders clearly on the jury is unlikely.
00:37:22.420But I also think that there's no slam dunk for conviction because the government has not proved its case.
00:37:30.220In fact, I think they failed spectacularly in proving their case.
00:37:34.780So today, what we have to do is to pray for one or two honest, clear-headed, clear-thinking jurors who are going to be governed by the rule of law,
00:37:48.060who are actually going to take into consideration everything they saw and that can happen.
00:37:52.840All right, Roger, Roger, we've got to go to break. We've got to go to break.
00:37:54.560I'm going to talk about the huge attack on Infowars and the really good news and what the judge did, speaking good judges, or at least decent, honest brokers, coming up.
00:38:02.960I'll do ten more minutes with us, Roger, because I want to talk about the New York case you started getting into, the other cases,
00:38:09.900and they're all getting suspended or they're all getting basically defeated.
00:38:18.060Roger, of course, had to run because, as always, he's on the move.
00:38:21.140And I think it's important to highlight that because it's why you tune in here to the Stone Zone.
00:38:27.080There's no other show that you can get cutting-edge political material like you do here on the Stone Zone, as well as some of the best guests.
00:38:34.580Meeting Tina Forte yesterday was just amazing.
00:38:37.280She is a great representative of the MAGA movement and just where she is battling AOC.
00:38:43.580It's so important that you go check out that interview and so many other interviews that we do here on the Stone Zone because there is no place like this in all of politics.
00:38:53.340And I know you guys love when we get into the politics, so we have a little bit more of that.
00:38:57.460It's a little different with just me, but we still are rolling through.
00:39:00.740As Roger would say, the show must go on.
00:39:03.840So we have a few more items that I want to highlight here.
00:39:06.860One, I'm sad we didn't get to talk about with Roger when he was here because I know he loves to talk about the way people dress.
00:39:14.340That is like, you know, he loves fashion.
00:39:38.980I mean, I've seen some doozies in my day, folks.
00:39:42.080Some people could say that my list of ex-girlfriends would look like a roster at a zoo, and I've never seen a woman wear anything like that.
00:39:52.100Even some of the trash that I've dated over the years is dressed better than that, ladies and gentlemen.
00:39:57.160So it is a disaster that that's the first lady.
00:40:02.260And you know what's amazing to me is, like, if Melania Trump dressed like that, it would be front-page news everywhere of how –
00:40:09.080and famously, Richard Nixon, you know, we're here on the Stones, and, of course, you've got to bring up Richard Nixon.
00:40:15.100Richard Nixon's wife, a lovely woman who did a fantastic job, and they called her Plastic Pat.
00:40:21.040And they've asked Richard Nixon when he was alive about this in different interviews and things like that.
00:40:27.700And he plainly says, they called her Plastic Pat because she was my wife, and she could do no right because she was my wife.
00:40:34.840And that's where the monolithic press comes in.
00:40:37.820And it's why, you know, Slingshot.news is so important, ladies and gentlemen, because without Slingshot.news,
00:40:44.660you wouldn't have really access to a well-rounded, unbiased, legitimate media source that focuses on the truth.
00:40:52.560You know, we cover things across entertainment.
00:42:08.960If the press really wanted Trump to go away, they would simply stop covering him, right?
00:42:14.380Well, that would have to rely on the idea that the Democrats, who the people in the media really do support, George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton operative, Jen Psaki, former Biden-Obama operative.
00:42:26.880There's millions of people out there who are duped every day by individuals in the media who claim to be transparent and claim to be unbiased, but they're not.
00:42:37.140And it wouldn't be as much – you know, you can be biased in the news.
00:42:42.480I don't like this idea that there should be no bias.
00:42:44.660I think a lot of the flavor of reporting comes through a certain bias that a writer might have.
00:42:50.520So the inherent idea that you're going to write something that's unbiased, I think everybody is biased in some kind of way.
00:42:57.460It's just about how you use that bias.
00:43:03.440So when we come back, folks, we're going to roll some clips of President Joe Biden and show you exactly why the media does not want to pay attention to Joe Biden.
00:43:12.520Because if they do, the public will see exactly who's going to be the Democrat nominee in November.
00:43:21.740We're going to show you those clips when we come back from break.
00:43:24.580My name is Troy Smith, filling in for Roger Stone here today on The Stone Zone.
00:43:28.300And I hope you follow us on Rumble, rumble.com slash Roger Stone.
00:43:32.260And don't go anywhere because we've got more politics right after this break.
00:43:42.500Glutathione, I'm so excited that we have a fantastic delivery system for it because glutathione is the master detoxifier and master antioxidant.
00:47:23.740And also, I would say, you know, I just wanted to point out for our audience there, I am so grateful to you guys for welcoming me into the Stone Zone family over the last couple months.
00:47:34.460You know, when I started this journey in media just a few years ago, I really could never have envisioned that this is where I'd be today on the Stone Zone.
00:47:44.860And it's been a crazy path to get here.
00:47:49.020I've been persecuted by certain news agencies because I wanted to expose pedophilia and I want to expose people who are, you know, some of the worst individuals in our country.
00:48:02.580And as I go on, I'm finding that, you know, God really is represented by truth.
00:48:11.560And it's almost like clinging to truth and clinging to what is real is almost as strong as the strongest faith in God.
00:48:23.260And I believe in that more and more as I go on here, folks.
00:48:26.800Truth is really the only thing that we can cling to.
00:49:16.080And we want to ensure that people aren't exploited.
00:49:19.140And so many times in my career in media and just in my life, I find that it's the most liberal, the most Democrat people, the most, oh, let's be calm and things like that.
00:49:31.240Those are the people you've got to watch.
00:49:32.940The people that are spouting off and they don't like this or they don't like that, they are rough around the edges.
00:49:46.440And there are a lot of sniveling, rat-like people out there, especially in the media industry, who, let's be honest, I mean, I get calls from people all the time that tell me, hey, so-and-so at this network fired me because I had a story about pedophilia and they freaked out.
00:50:04.300And I think they might be a pedophile.
00:50:05.740And it's like, yeah, it's a legitimate thing.
00:50:08.080When you look at the state of Maryland, they have a Senate nominee named Larry Hogan that harbored a pedophile in his home, appointed another pedophile as a state deputy secretary of state.
00:50:21.520He hired another pedophile to be a Caroline County circuit court judge.
00:50:26.060And he hired another pedophile to be his deputy legislative officer.
00:50:45.720And I don't care if he puts an R next to his name.
00:50:48.200He destroyed people's lives with the COVID lockdowns.
00:50:50.880And on top of that, he put pedophiles into positions of power.
00:50:55.120And that's what I respect most about Roger Stone, ladies and gentlemen, because Roger does not protect people because they are Republican.
00:51:03.080In fact, he often says that the main problem that this country has are the establishment Republicans.
00:51:10.180He has a whole long list of adjectives that he used that are really great.
00:51:13.780I think Lily Livered is my favorite of the bunch.
00:51:16.760But my point is, ladies and gentlemen, that the Republican Party, I think the average voter really struggles to realize how evil the establishment Republicans are and the people who protect them in the media.
00:51:31.920I've seen it with my own two eyes, ladies and gentlemen.
00:51:35.020They, when you bring up pedophilia, when you bring up the fact that these people are connected, they get enraged.
00:51:58.340Sure, they can knock you out, knock your feet out from under you for a little bit.
00:52:03.920But the best of us always rise to the top.
00:52:07.520And it doesn't matter whether you're working in an office.
00:52:10.700It doesn't matter if you're working at a construction site.
00:52:14.380It doesn't matter where you are in life.
00:52:16.680If you are committed to truth, if you are dedicated to what you do, and you stand tall, even if you face opposition, even if you face people who want to destroy you, you will win in the end, my friend.
00:52:30.360Because this life is not about getting by.
00:52:34.820This life is not about agreeing with the establishment or allowing them to choose the path that your life will take.
00:52:43.720This life is about standing for what you believe in.
00:52:48.000Because when death comes, and death will come for every single one of us out there, it will come earlier for some and it will come later for others.
00:52:56.400When death comes, it will not be your weakest moments that you think about.
00:53:02.020It won't be the times you just got by that you think about.
00:53:06.220It won't be the times that you capitulated that you think about.
00:53:10.660It won't be the times that you went along with the establishment that you recall.
00:53:16.640It will be the things that you truly believed in and the things that you fought for.
00:53:21.460Those will be the things when death comes for all of us that we stand for.
00:53:27.980It should give all of you freedom to know that as long as we do the right thing, as long as we are in truth, then there's nothing that these people can do to stop us.
00:53:36.240And that's why people say to me, Troy, you're so vocal about this stuff.
00:53:59.940I fear that being exposed to the levels, I mean, I've seen people, ladies and gentlemen, I've seen people, especially in the media business, who I've gotten calls about.
00:54:12.920And people tell me beforehand, this guy is a pedophile.
00:54:17.120And anybody that mentions pedophilia, he freaks out and he'll fire you over it.
00:54:21.640And look, that's how these people get by.
00:54:25.980That's how they that's how people wonder, how how does Larry Hogan, who harbored a pedophile in his home, how does he how on earth does he become the Maryland Republican Senate nominee?
00:54:38.040Well, that's because there are compromised people all over this country.
00:55:11.100Put your career first and lead people towards good because we need it across the board.
00:55:18.140It's not just about Troy Smith here on the Stone Zone or Slingshot News or Roger Stone even.
00:55:23.900You know, these are big pieces, but they are not the whole puzzle.
00:55:27.720The whole puzzle is involves you, the people who believe in the Constitution, who know it.
00:55:34.980And you have the common sense to look at the Trump trials and say, this is absurd.
00:55:38.720You out there, you're the ones that are meant to take the reins of this country and to lead us forward and to bring us back from this precipice, this abyss that we are currently staring into.
00:55:50.640That really is what it means to make America great again.
00:55:55.000It's not to have a period of, you know, and tax cuts, you know, obviously it's part of it and everything, but I'm just speaking about the actual policies.
00:56:06.420But the true change for America comes from you and your guys' willingness to step out and lead.
00:56:13.240I'm happy to report that after that snarling person who I'm told is a pedophile decided that they were going to get rid of me, that I've established a business that is now supporting multiple people.
00:56:28.760We are expanding in the face while every other major media outlet in the country is failing.
00:56:35.400Slingshot News is expanding and growing.
00:56:38.300We're so proud of what we've been able to do there.
00:56:41.520And mainly because, mainly because while every other news outlet out there is bought, paid for in some capacity, I can assure you that the only things that come out of Slingshot News are what I write, my editorial choices.
00:56:57.200It is not AI, it's not, we make sure that we are reporting the truth and it's something that you will not see out there in the media landscape.
00:57:07.780People snarl and they hide behind others who really are doing the work.
00:57:15.620And when we step out of the mold of the people who have destroyed this country, when we step out of their gated lives and the guardrails that they've put out for people like you and for people like me, we win.
00:57:28.900And that's where America's winning could come back.
00:57:31.700That's where we can start to see progress in this country, not just on a political level, but on a social and a cultural level.
00:57:38.100America will be great again through the will of its people.
00:57:41.920And if we stand for this country, for what it believes in, there's nothing, nothing on earth that can stop us from making not only this country great again, but by returning power of the world structure, the world back to the people.
