Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon, and pundit, Roger Stone.
00:00:07.300 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.320 He is a New York Times best-selling author, and a long-time friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.
00:00:16.940 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,
00:00:22.580 and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.
00:00:27.340 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.
00:00:33.340 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:41.160 Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
00:00:46.180 Well, as I think every American who's watching media knows, Hurricane Helene has ripped through Florida,
00:00:53.480 the Carolinas, and Tennessee, as well as Georgia.
00:00:57.920 And we've begun to take a look at what the electoral impact of that hurricane will be.
00:01:04.340 In many cases, there are parts of states that they project will be without power or water or electricity
00:01:12.200 for, it could be weeks, perhaps even up to Election Day.
00:01:16.920 To help us break this down, I'm going to call on my co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief of Slingshot.news, who joins me now.
00:01:30.560 Stone Zone today, and, you know, with your political experience of being a veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns,
00:01:38.360 I wanted to ask you right off the bat, you know, what is your observation, just a baseline here,
00:01:43.120 of the impact that this is going to have on the election?
00:01:45.320 Because as you just showed, large parts of North Carolina, which has been a state where the Democrats have focused a lot of their attention,
00:01:52.160 are without power and will possibly be without power for weeks here, Roger.
00:01:57.320 Well, I saw an excellent analysis by Seth Ketchel, who's an analyst who I very much respect.
00:02:03.840 He points out that there are 29 of the 100 counties in North Carolina that are impacted.
00:02:10.700 Now, the most Republican counties, the most pro-Trump counties, would be Alexander, Allegheny, Ash, Avery, Burke,
00:02:19.800 Caldwell, Catawba, Cherokee, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison,
00:02:30.180 McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Surrey, Swain, Wilkes, and Yancey counties.
00:02:38.340 Those are deep, crimson Republican counties that at this point are among the most hard hit.
00:02:47.420 There's also one other county which is trending Republican, or two actually, Henderson County and Transylvania County.
00:02:55.360 Now, in the competitive areas, places where you would expect Harris to win would first and foremost be Buncombe,
00:03:06.520 which is actually a Democrat stronghold.
00:03:09.380 That is Asheville, the largest city affected by the hurricane, but also the county of Gaston, which has 128,000 voters.
00:03:19.060 It's also a Republican stronghold west of Charlotte.
00:03:23.560 Based on some calls we made, the western portion of the county was impacted more than the suburban,
00:03:30.440 therefore the more Republican portion.
00:03:33.420 Then I would add Henderson, which is a Republican-tier county south of Asheville, has 75,000 voters.
00:03:41.400 There's Lincoln County, which is a Republican county northwest of Charlotte, also the greatest damage in the western portion of the county.
00:03:51.180 And Cleveland, yet another Republican county.
00:03:54.820 So, electoral speaking, it's to Harris' advantage if voting in these 29 counties was completely impossible to facilitate,
00:04:02.660 even if it costs her some votes in Buncombe County, which is Asheville.
00:04:07.860 The only other county she would likely win within the 29 is Watauga, which is the site of Appalachian State University, but it's a relatively small county.
00:04:19.820 Those two counties stand to net her another 9,000-vote margin over Biden's 2020 numbers in projections put together by Seth Ketchel.
00:04:30.920 She's likely to gain less than 1,000 votes in Henderson or Transylvania, relatively small counties.
00:04:37.760 So, if you add this all up in the 25 crimson counties in the operational picture, Trump stands to gain 56,000 votes on the low end, perhaps as many as 75,000 votes,
00:04:50.820 if mail ballot requests continue and if Democrat enthusiasm continues to be slow.
00:04:58.760 So, a couple things you can definitely count on here.
00:05:02.780 First, the Democrat Governor Roy Cooper and the Harris-Biden regime will be slow to roll out hurricane relief, if at all.
00:05:13.280 We're going to talk about that in a minute, particularly in those western red counties.
00:05:19.500 But it is also important to recognize that North Carolina is now a must-win for Kamala Harris, given her weakness in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
00:05:31.500 And therefore, it is vitally important that these counties get up and running.
00:05:36.900 You'll recall, Troy, in the run-up to the 2022 election, Florida was hit with a horrific Cap 4 hurricane, and Governor DeSantis really did miracles in terms of getting the portion of the state that was knocked out of commission up and running.
00:05:56.680 And by the time Election Day came, voting was back to its normal pattern.
00:06:00.960 No guarantee here that this is going to happen.
00:06:04.280 So, this has to be watched very carefully.
00:06:06.900 Now, today's analysis is just North Carolina.
00:06:10.440 We have not yet done an analysis on Georgia, but we'll be looking to Seth Ketchel, again, a guy I have huge respect for, and his analysis on that very question.
00:06:21.540 Does not look to me like Joe Biden is going to be quick to give them any federal relief.
00:06:27.060 Well, and Roger, that's the case that we're seeing, you know, in these videos that we have pulled of Joe Biden.
00:06:33.140 So, just on the tarmac, you know, getting ready to go on his airplane to God knows where, Joe Biden was asked about the federal aid,
00:06:41.860 and if they would be providing additional resources because of this devastating hurricane that turned inland and really has messed up, as you saw in that graph there.
00:06:49.540 A large part of North Carolina, Georgia, other parts of the middle of this country.
00:06:54.580 And he said flat out that there's not going to be any additional aid for these people.
00:06:58.460 And I want to get your thoughts on this, Roger.
00:07:00.500 Is this an electoral play?
00:07:02.460 Like you just stated, it seems like this hurricane primarily impacted crimson red Republican districts.
00:07:10.280 It would appear to me, though, that if they're trying to win North Carolina,
00:07:14.600 that providing aid to these people may be an avenue for them to maybe get some more votes.
00:07:19.080 I want to hear your thoughts on this.
00:07:20.140 Let's roll the clip of Joe Biden, then go to Roger right after.
00:07:23.120 Do you have a few words for the victims participating?
00:07:25.880 Yes, it's tragic.
00:07:27.340 As a matter of fact, we're trying to get the exact number.
00:07:30.520 My FEMA advisor is on the ground in Florida right now.
00:07:33.720 There's a distinction between the numbers that FEMA's used and the ones that are used by the locals.
00:07:40.740 So, it really is amazing.
00:07:43.360 You saw the photographs.
00:07:45.480 It's stunning.
00:07:46.440 It's unbelievable.
00:07:47.440 It really is.
00:07:47.980 So many, such a wide area.
00:07:50.380 And we've given them all of the, everything that we have on the ground ahead of time.
00:07:57.980 So, we're working hard.
00:07:59.400 Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?
00:08:02.660 No, we've given them, we have pre-planned a significant amount of it,
00:08:06.000 even though they didn't ask for it yet.
00:08:07.980 Hadn't asked for it yet.
00:08:09.080 I'm not sure what that answer means.
00:08:13.620 I think he means no.
00:08:15.060 Perhaps they sent all the money to Ukraine.
00:08:17.180 Who knows?
00:08:18.340 But I also know, you brought this to my attention.
00:08:20.800 We'll show it to you here.
00:08:22.100 Kamala Harris doesn't seem to want to answer questions about this.
00:08:25.020 Let's take a look at Kamala Harris.
00:08:26.320 We couldn't hear it, but there were reporters calling to her on her to comment on the hurricane.
00:08:45.700 As you could see, she didn't have time for it.
00:08:49.180 Look, I'm not convinced that Joe Biden wants Kamala Harris to win.
00:08:53.360 First of all, there was that death embrace that he gave her on The View,
00:08:58.800 where he basically said, oh, no, she was in on every decision.
00:09:02.380 She was, I fully authorized her to act in both foreign and domestic policy.
00:09:08.640 This is at a time that Kamala Harris is trying to put distance between herself
00:09:12.040 and the Harris-Biden administration, as I call them.
00:09:15.520 And I said this on this show last week, when Joe Biden put on a Trump hat,
00:09:22.680 when he posed with a group of schoolchildren wearing Trump T-shirts,
00:09:26.700 some people were saying, oh, look, he's around the bend.
00:09:28.680 He's crazy.
00:09:29.280 No, I don't think he's quite crazy at all.
00:09:30.860 I think he knew exactly what he was doing.
00:09:32.980 I think he's unhappy.
00:09:34.420 Based on that interview on The View, I think he's unhappy that he was replaced on this ticket.
00:09:39.260 He was asked why he dropped out.
00:09:41.220 And he said, well, my poll numbers, I'm paraphrasing, my poll numbers were about the same as hers.
00:09:47.380 I mean, I thought I could have beaten the guy, meaning Trump.
00:09:50.020 But some people in the party didn't agree with that.
00:09:52.840 So I think Joe Biden may withhold hurricane money to ensure that she doesn't win North Carolina.
00:10:02.000 I'm really uncertain.
00:10:03.420 At this point, it is very important, also in Georgia, to get these counties up and running as soon as possible.
00:10:12.900 And that's not easy.
00:10:14.160 I mean, one of our own producers here on the Stone Zone lives just in the Florida part of where the hurricane hit.
00:10:24.560 His living room has got three feet of water in it.
00:10:28.080 The only food available is through FEMA.
00:10:30.280 There's no electricity.
00:10:31.260 We've actually told him to get in a car and start heading south.
00:10:35.940 So I think it's important to recognize that there's many, many, many Americans tonight who have no food, no water, no place to sleep, no air conditioning, no electricity, no cell phone, no computer, certainly.
00:10:49.340 We need to be praying for those people.
00:10:51.580 We need to be praying hard for them.
00:10:53.480 No leadership from Kamala Harris, none from Joe Biden.
00:10:58.120 President Trump has been out there talking about this all day.
00:11:02.200 I read that he gave $25 million personally to hurricane relief.
00:11:07.640 He addressed this in his remarks in Georgia today.
00:11:10.960 So a real juxtaposition for the American people between the Democrats and the Republicans.
00:11:17.340 Well, exactly, Roger.
00:11:19.300 And we saw President Trump, you know, and it's such a distinction, too, because when the Democrats do this, we see this time and time again, whether I think the best example probably is Pete Buttigieg when we had the bridge collapse in Pennsylvania.
00:11:31.860 And he went up there with his designer boots on and really just made a joke out of himself and the entire Biden administration.
00:11:39.180 And then we look at President Trump today, and he's revered by the people of Georgia.
00:11:43.580 We've seen such a warm response from him.
00:11:45.280 We have actually clips of the people cheering for President Trump.
00:11:48.900 So let's just show him meeting on the ground with some people and the supporters greeting President Trump there in Valdosta, Georgia.
00:11:56.860 Let's show those clips and then get we can actually include the clips of Trump speaking as well.
00:12:04.640 Roger, I want to get your thoughts because he actually showed up with Franklin Graham, of all people, the son of Reverend Billy Graham, who I know you saw.
00:12:13.480 You've talked about seeing live here on the Stone Zone before.
00:12:16.660 So let's roll those clips of Trump in Georgia talking about what he's doing to help people and then get Roger's thoughts on the president traveling to these devastated areas while Biden and Harris just talked to the media by their airplanes, really almost hiding in their ivory tower.
00:12:33.500 Let's roll that.
00:12:34.060 Let's roll that.
00:13:04.040 Let's roll that.
00:13:34.020 We're trying to get them hooked up with communication.
00:13:37.860 They're totally closed right now.
00:13:39.360 North Carolina has really been hit hard, really, really been hit hard, the hardest, and we can't even get in there right now.
00:13:48.500 And there are a lot of people that have been injured or worse, very bad, North Carolina.
00:13:54.480 We're working with the people in North Carolina now to get them hooked up for communication.
00:13:58.900 Homes, hospitals, highways, highways, and cars have been plunged underwater.
00:14:03.420 Entire neighborhoods have been turned into lakes.
00:14:05.540 Nobody's seen anything like it.
00:14:11.180 Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, and North Carolina, who's, which has really been hit.
00:14:14.820 We're going there also.
00:14:15.820 And they don't have communication.
00:14:18.520 They don't have anything right now that they're, we're trying to, I just spoke to Elon.
00:14:23.080 I'm getting him.
00:14:24.320 I want to, we want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever.
00:14:29.760 And Elon, Elon will always come through.
00:14:32.540 We know that.
00:14:34.120 And so we're working on that, getting them hooked up.
00:14:36.100 They asked me whether or not that would be possible.
00:14:38.420 We're going to try and get the Starlink in there as soon as possible because they have no communication.
00:14:43.320 And throughout the region, our hearts are with you.
00:14:45.740 And we are going to be with you as long as you need.
00:14:50.080 It's called an hour of need.
00:14:51.520 You're in our prayers.
00:14:53.780 And we pray to God.
00:14:55.040 And throughout this long weeks, the long weeks that lay ahead, you're going to have a lot of work.
00:14:59.760 But the end result is it's going to be good.
00:15:02.480 We just wish so many people weren't so badly hurt and, in many cases, sadly, no longer with us.
00:15:11.760 We love you.
00:15:12.600 I've been asked if I would just lead in a prayer.
00:15:16.160 Our Father and our God, we come today to say thank you for these men and women who are here as volunteers.
00:15:22.680 Thank you for the president who has taken time to come and to see it for himself, to shake hands, to encourage,
00:15:31.220 and to smile in the faces of people that have been hurt and devastated by this storm.
00:15:36.880 Father, we ask for help.
00:15:39.580 Father, we pray that as we come to this election that your will be done.
00:15:45.740 And so, Father, we pray for the president, strengthen him, protect him.
00:15:50.000 Father, we thank you.
00:15:52.340 And it's in Jesus' name we pray this prayer.
00:15:55.840 Amen.
00:15:57.860 This building behind us represents hundreds of thousands of people that have lost homes, businesses, friends, loved ones.
00:16:10.140 And it's going to take an army of volunteers and people to respond.
00:16:15.440 And, of course, at Samaritan's Purse, we want to respond always in Jesus' name.
00:16:21.540 And we want people to know that God loves them, that God cares for them.
00:16:25.020 Sometimes when a storm like this comes, people think, well, maybe God is mad at us.
00:16:30.200 Maybe this is his judgment.
00:16:32.060 No.
00:16:32.920 God loves us.
00:16:33.880 How do I know that?
00:16:34.620 Because the Bible tells us that God loves us and cares for us.
00:16:38.420 And, yes, there are storms in life, but God will take us through those storms if we put our faith and trust in his son, Jesus Christ.
00:16:45.600 Thank you, Mr. President, for coming and helping to put a spotlight on this city, this state, and this region that has lost so much.
00:16:55.040 Thank you.
00:16:55.420 And may God bless you, Mr. President.
00:16:56.960 Very powerful words by Reverend Franklin Graham.
00:17:01.980 As many people know, he's a pivotal figure in my own redemption in the blood of the cross.
00:17:07.760 It was after a conversation with Reverend Graham that I made the decision to ask Christ to come into my life and to save me from politically motivated, vicious prosecutors trying to destroy me and my family because I refused to give them false testimony against President Donald Trump.
00:17:27.800 So I have great reverence and respect for Reverend Graham.
00:17:33.480 And, again, you see, Troy, Donald Trump today providing leadership today, reaching out to Elon Musk to get Starlink set up so people can have communications again, and working with the governor and the governors to try to get aid to these cities.
00:17:52.340 Trump, who's right there in the path of the hurricane, where we get nothing from Kamala Harris or President Joe Biden, but at this point, silence.
00:18:04.180 What they do financially is going to be very interesting here because Governor DeSantis demonstrated in Florida you can get these counties up and running again quickly.
00:18:14.960 Now, they do have mail-in ballots in Georgia and in North Carolina, as well as Florida, but if your home is blown away, where would they mail the ballot to, if you see my point?
00:18:30.620 Would they set up temporary polling places in these areas?
00:18:34.820 How many residents will even still be in the area?
00:18:37.720 How many will have to leave the area to take up shelter elsewhere?
00:18:41.520 This is potentially a calamity.
00:18:45.200 If you look at those 29 counties in Georgia, Trump needs to get a gain of 56,800 votes.
00:18:55.680 Harris needs to get out of those same counties only a margin of about 10,000 votes because a disproportionate number of those counties are Republican counties.
00:19:07.780 And that's under a normal situation.
00:19:10.220 So we're going to be watching this situation very closely.
00:19:14.180 Interestingly enough, I'm not the only one who thinks that maybe Joe Biden is trying to undermine Kamala Harris.
00:19:21.400 Look at this video of John Katsimatidis, the grocery store magnate, the owner of 77 WABC Radio.
00:19:29.540 He does his own show, the Kats and Cosby show, but here he is on Fox talking about exactly that.
00:19:35.000 A bloomin' dock strike, 44,000 to 45,000 dock workers from Maine to Texas preparing to walk off the job if they don't get a deal by tonight.
00:19:43.360 Listen to what President Biden said about a potential strike.
00:19:47.180 Mr. President, would you intervene in the dock workers' strike if they go on strike on Tuesday?
00:19:52.640 No.
00:19:53.040 Why not?
00:19:54.720 Because it's collective bargaining.
00:19:56.040 I don't believe in Taft Harding.
00:19:57.500 All right.
00:19:58.180 John Katsimatidis joins me now.
00:20:00.320 Okay.
00:20:00.600 The president will not intervene.
00:20:02.920 And if we are likely to get a strike, you run the Gristides chain of grocery stores in New York.
00:20:08.400 I know that's a small part of your business, but you run them.
00:20:10.900 Yes.
00:20:11.080 Are you expecting shortages, fruits and vegetables, for example, if we get a strike?
00:20:15.300 If there's a strike, prices in the supermarkets will go up higher than ever.
00:20:20.760 And, you know, we have everything closed down.
00:20:24.040 You have the Suez Canal closed down.
00:20:25.600 The Red Sea is closed down.
00:20:27.020 If you have a strike on the East Coast, that's going to be closed down.
00:20:30.880 Guess what?
00:20:31.920 Prices are going to go to the moon.
00:20:33.380 And the question is about President Biden is, is 35 days, 34 days to the election, is, this is not going to be very good for Vice President Harris because she's depending on lower prices.
00:20:51.580 Well, guess what?
00:20:52.720 There is no price gouging.
00:20:54.820 Prices will go higher than ever.
00:20:56.840 And that's, is President Biden getting even with Kamala Harris and the forces that forced him not to run?
00:21:05.560 Well, earlier this morning, the Commerce Secretary, Gina Redondo, she was asked about the looming port strike, and she said, and I'm quoting now, she has not been focused on that.
00:21:14.760 Do you believe that, the Commerce Secretary?
00:21:16.040 One day away, she's not focused on that?
00:21:18.360 Where is this administration?
00:21:20.260 I mean, that is, that is crazy.
00:21:22.800 Prices will go higher than ever.
00:21:24.280 He should put a halt on it until at least after the election.
00:21:28.780 I mean, if you have a Democratic president and a Democratic candidate, what is that?
00:21:34.880 Doesn't that mean you should put it off until after the election?
00:21:37.700 I mean, the one thing that people don't realize, what Nancy Pelosi and maybe President Obama, I don't know who was involved, they did a coup on the United States government.
00:21:52.200 This is a coup by forcing President Biden not to run.
00:21:57.660 It was not voluntary.
00:21:59.680 He was forced not to run.
00:22:01.600 So this is a coup on the United States of America that nobody talks about.
00:22:05.200 OK, I'm going to talk about something else for a second.
00:22:07.620 New York City administration.
00:22:09.520 Governor, I'm sorry, Mayor Adams, Mayor Adams, he's been charged and allegedly took bribes.
00:22:15.600 123,000 bucks worth of free flights and ritzy perks from foreign nationals in exchange for favors.
00:22:20.380 OK, we got all of that.
00:22:21.320 We know it.
00:22:22.300 Do you think this administration is on the verge of collapse?
00:22:25.940 I mean, he's not leaving.
00:22:28.440 He's going to fight these charges, which means we've got this administration in New York at least the next year.
00:22:33.700 I believe he does not plan to resign.
00:22:37.180 And he has told his friends that even if he's indicted, even he's not going to resign and he's going to run for re-election.
00:22:45.960 That's what I've been told.
00:22:47.260 So we've got this administration for at least another year.
00:22:50.040 Well, how do they say it in Great Britain?
00:22:52.640 And let's see how things sort themselves out.
00:22:55.920 If it's an upgrade on an airline ticket, if it's an upgrade on a hotel room, nobody cares.
00:23:02.960 But if he did receive $10 million, that's going to be hard to justify.
00:23:07.540 But his administration can't do much.
00:23:09.680 I mean, his education guy's gone.
00:23:11.360 The police commissioner's gone.
00:23:13.120 His chief counsel gone.
00:23:15.140 Other people have resigned.
00:23:17.100 That's not much of an administration.
00:23:18.620 And you've got to do business in New York City.
00:23:20.180 It's going to be harder to do business either way.
00:23:24.300 Look, compared to some of the other people that want to run Mayor Adams, other than the few problems he has, then it's not that serious.
00:23:37.940 Because the people that may come in might be much worse.
00:23:41.720 That's right.
00:23:42.400 And we don't need a socialist running New York City.
00:23:46.720 No, we don't.
00:23:47.020 All right.
00:23:49.520 A very good interview there.
00:23:50.960 Two parts of it, really.
00:23:52.540 First of all, John Katsimatidis correctly pointing out that a dock strike along the entire East Coast will drive prices, particularly prices, grocery prices, businesses in.
00:24:04.260 A business, by the way, in which he points out that the usual margins are about one to two percent.
00:24:09.940 It's the idea that there's price gouging going on, ignores the fact that the prices for the grocery stores of all produce, for example, are going up, which is why they charge more, not because they're price gouging.
00:24:25.940 Well, Harris doesn't seem to understand that, but the impact prior to the election of Biden not intervening in this strike could be devastating in terms of prices.
00:24:37.960 And then the second part of it, very interesting.
00:24:41.420 I talked about this on my radio show yesterday at 77 WABC Radio.
00:24:46.200 If you will look at the indictment of Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, the idea that he was indicted simply because he allegedly opposes the open borders policies of the Harris-Bide administration is entirely false.
00:25:01.820 Eric Adams ran for mayor of New York City as an advocate for New York City being a sanctuary city.
00:25:10.560 As mayor, he has put migrant shelters, which are extremely dangerous, magnets for crime, in working class neighborhoods, Republican neighborhoods, actually, in Queens and in Staten Island, as well as Brooklyn.
00:25:24.820 His real complaint has not been the policy, it has been that the federal government isn't giving him the money to deal with the problem they have created.
00:25:35.180 That's not the same thing as being an opponent of or opposed to their open borders policy.
00:25:41.600 And then when you go to the crime, well, if you read the entire indictment, and I have, I heard, I guess I saw Kat Timf on Gutfield the other night making jokes about, well, he got some upgrades on his airline ticket, maybe got an extra Bloody Mary on the plane.
00:25:59.800 No, he actually took $10 million from Turkey and laundered it through straw donors and illegal campaign contributions.
00:26:10.420 Then he submitted it to the New York City campaign finance matching funds program, where those contributions were matched two to one.
00:26:19.560 So he violated both federal and state law.
00:26:22.320 $10 million is a huge amount of money.
00:26:25.480 This is not a small nothing crime.
00:26:28.400 It's not small potatoes, as some have said.
00:26:32.180 And no, he is not an opponent of their open borders policy.
00:26:36.000 That is a misnomer.
00:26:37.260 Or he's just an opponent of the fact that they wouldn't give him millions of dollars to deal with the illegal problem.
00:26:44.280 But that's, as you know, just the tip of the iceberg.
00:26:46.860 The police commissioner and his brother were running an extortion racket, where the police commissioner's brother would go to restaurants and nightclubs, and they would pay him for protection against either code enforcement or the NYPD over, say, noise or sanitation issues.
00:27:02.780 You have a city whose entire administration is in collapse.
00:27:08.740 The fire commissioner had to resign because of his ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:14.760 The school chancellor, like the superintendent of schools, had to resign.
00:27:20.300 And this is just the beginning.
00:27:22.040 So those Republicans out there, those conservatives say, oh, Eric Adams was politically attacked, was charged based on political motivation.
00:27:33.400 That's simply not the case.
00:27:36.200 All right, let's continue, Troy.
00:27:38.460 Well, Roger, we have another clip that I want to play here.
00:27:41.820 And this was a huge controversy this weekend.
00:27:43.780 We actually covered it on Slingshot News.
00:27:45.800 We have a headline that we can put up about that, and it shows that the restaurant Permanente Brothers has gotten into a huge controversy over J.D. Vance.
00:27:58.920 Now, J.D. Vance, during a campaign stop in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh, decided to stop with his campaign staff at a place called Permanente Brothers,
00:28:10.460 which is a chain owned by a larger conglomerate that's been around for quite some time now.
00:28:17.240 And during that stop, you know, apparently they had planned it all out, and then the Secret Service showed up and made sure everything was okay, and J.D. Vance entered the restaurant.
00:28:26.460 And allegedly what happened was the manager of this restaurant told J.D. Vance that he had to get out of the restaurant, that he wouldn't be served, and that he would be kicked out of the restaurant.
00:28:37.880 And if he did not leave, they would file a trespass against him and call the police.
00:28:43.820 So J.D. Vance handled the situation brilliantly.
00:28:46.960 He paid the bill of his staff, anybody who had made any kind of orders, and he left, and he talked to the press outside of the event.
00:28:55.560 Now, there's conflicting reports, Roger, and this is kind of covered in the Slingshot News piece, in which the Italian-American Civil Rights League has condemned Permanente Brothers for what they did to J.D. Vance.
00:29:08.300 But there's conflicting statements, because Permanente Brothers has put out a statement saying that there was a confusion between the manager and the Secret Service,
00:29:17.660 but then J.D. Vance was allowed to eat, and yet members of J.D. Vance's party, people involved in Republican politics in that area who had showed up to the restaurant,
00:29:28.860 they claimed that J.D. Vance was not allowed to eat there, and it appears through the video statement that he released that that's not the case at all.
00:29:37.060 So I want to run this clip of J.D. Vance outside the restaurant and get your thoughts on this controversy,
00:29:42.060 because I saw you tweeting about it, Roger, and I know you probably have some thoughts on it.
00:29:45.940 So let's roll that and get Roger's thoughts on this.
00:29:47.980 Permanente Brothers, we apparently don't have the clip, but Roger, can you tell me what you think about this controversy?
00:29:55.660 Because this was really the talk of the town this weekend.
00:29:59.160 I did see the video in question.
00:30:01.480 It's clear that J.D. Vance was outside the restaurant.
00:30:05.640 I think he handled it very diplomatically, but it's not inconsistent with the fact that Permanente Brothers actually had Tim Walsh inside one of their facilities in Pennsylvania.
00:30:18.960 Now, this is a chain.
00:30:21.200 There are two of them within two miles of my home.
00:30:24.400 To be quite honest with you, some of the worst pizza I've ever had in my entire life.
00:30:28.840 It's just not good, okay?
00:30:30.640 Now, pizza is like sex, meaning even when it's bad, well, still pretty good.
00:30:35.640 And at 3 o'clock in the morning, because Permanente Brothers does stay open at least one of their facilities 24 hours, it may be the only place you can get a slice at 3.30 in the morning.
00:30:45.860 That said, what they're really famous for is putting French fries inside their sandwiches, which I find to be kind of weird, frankly.
00:30:54.860 So, anyway, if I were speaking to my fellow America First Patriots, I would not be patronizing the Permanente Brothers.
00:31:04.640 Generally speaking, I don't like boycotts, but in this case, I think they gave J.D. Vance a raw deal.
00:31:10.760 They also changed their story.
00:31:12.440 People on J.D. Vance's advance team tell me that they had visited in advance, that the restaurant management knew they were coming, and then really only objected when vice presidential candidate Vance showed up.
00:31:25.820 So, it looks to me like a setup.
00:31:27.400 And then when you start to examine some of who the major owners are of the corporation that owns Permanente Brothers, they own a number of other restaurant chains that are pretty well known, you'll find that they are, in fact, left-wing, never-Trumper Democrats.
00:31:44.220 So, I guess the bottom line of this is I agree with the resolution passed by the Italian American Civil Rights League.
00:31:54.080 By the way, you can join the Italian American Civil Rights League by going to IACRL.org, and you may want to join.
00:32:05.020 It is an organization, a nonprofit, set up to stand up for Italian American heritage and Italian American culture and the important role that Italian Americans have played into making this a great country.
00:32:18.300 Meanwhile, avoid the Permanente Brothers if you can.
00:32:21.980 Well, and Roger, we actually have, first of all, we have a screenshot that we can put up real quickly of some of the donations from the individuals that do own Permanente Brothers with some that you can see from their Facebook.
00:32:34.860 They have some LGBTQ stuff.
00:32:36.960 We have donations to Act Blue as well as some pictures with Black Lives Matter and some different, you know, stuff like that from their Facebook.
00:32:45.680 So, this is exactly what this organization is, and I was just told while you were talking there that we do have the video of J.D. Vance.
00:32:52.500 So, let's roll that, and then we have a few more news topics to get into here.
00:32:56.880 We paid for everybody's food.
00:32:58.400 We gave a nice tip, and, of course, when I gave a nice tip, I said, no taxes on tip.
00:33:02.980 Yeah!
00:33:03.380 Yeah!
00:33:04.860 It's all right.
00:33:08.560 Don't hold it against her.
00:33:09.740 She just got a little nervous, but it's a great local business.
00:33:12.740 Let's keep on supporting it, and most importantly, November 5th or before, go vote.
00:33:17.280 Let's go win this thing.
00:33:18.000 Let's go!
00:33:18.520 Yes!
00:33:19.040 Yes!
00:33:23.680 J.D. Vance is a class act.
00:33:26.260 I really am looking forward to tomorrow night.
00:33:28.620 We here at the Stone Zone are going to be doing a joint broadcast yet again with our good friend Luke Rutkowski, and this is going to be an epic, epic night.
00:33:40.860 Troy, you already see Tim Walsh's handlers trying to downplay expectations.
00:33:48.240 Oh, he's nervous.
00:33:49.940 He's very nervous.
00:33:51.000 He's very unsure.
00:33:52.240 They're doing all this on purpose.
00:33:53.860 They're trying to lower the expectations so that even if he has a fumbling performance, they can say he exceeded them.
00:34:00.280 This is going to be a classic debate.
00:34:03.360 I think Vance is really on his game.
00:34:06.020 He's a smart guy.
00:34:07.460 He'll approach this strategically.
00:34:09.620 Walsh's record is a disaster.
00:34:12.040 He can't really defend it.
00:34:13.940 And then you add to that the fact that J.D. Vance told the truth about his military service and served his country with honor and correctly claimed the rank that he had earned,
00:34:25.100 whereas Tim Walsh lied about being in combat, lied even about his rank in the military, lied about how long he served.
00:34:34.320 That's certainly come up.
00:34:35.900 Interesting to see what the context of that is.
00:34:38.940 We're going to take a quick commercial break here because, well, we've got to keep the lights on.
00:34:44.860 And with this hurricane and so many people out of power, now is the time to remind you that when you had a catastrophic event like this hurricane,
00:34:54.000 that the first thing that goes are the cell towers.
00:34:57.840 That's right.
00:34:58.220 No cell phones, no computers, no cell phones, no electricity, no heating, no air conditioning, no refrigeration.
00:35:05.800 But it was because of this that I went out and got the Iridium 9555 phone, which connects to the Iridium satellite phone service,
00:35:15.820 which means that regardless of whether we have a hurricane, a natural disaster, or whether, say, the power grid is shut down by terrorists or by hackers,
00:35:26.240 you will always have both text and telephone service any place where you can see the sky.
00:35:34.220 Let's roll it.
00:35:35.080 This is Roger Stone.
00:35:37.700 Remember when AT&T's cell phone outage left millions, including me, stranded without a means to communicate with loved ones,
00:35:46.120 business associates, or even for emergency services?
00:35:49.560 You see, cellular networks are particularly vulnerable, big targets for hackers and terrorists,
00:35:54.900 as well as vulnerable to hurricanes and other natural disasters.
00:35:59.120 So if your cell phone goes down, how will you communicate?
00:36:03.320 That's why I got the Iridium 9555 satellite phone and service.
00:36:09.900 I'm using the proprietary Iridium satellite service.
00:36:14.040 Cell networks only cover about 7% of the Earth, while the Iridium system covers 100% of the Earth.
00:36:21.100 You can call or text from any place you can see the sky.
00:36:24.900 These are trusted by U.S. military and government officials everywhere.
00:36:28.980 All calls are encrypted, safe and secure.
00:36:31.680 No eavesdropping, no hacking.
00:36:34.300 It's the reason the U.S. military uses Iridium phones,
00:36:37.740 and the U.S. Senate uses satellite phones for their secure phone calls.
00:36:42.340 You, too, can ensure your privacy by using our Iridium proprietary satellite network.
00:36:48.620 Just go to sat123.com slash roger.
00:36:53.320 No tracking and no one can listen to your calls.
00:36:55.820 No one will ever read your text but the person you're sending them to.
00:36:59.820 And more importantly, big tech cannot steal and then sell your data.
00:37:04.660 You can get the Iridium 9555 phone at no cost if you sign up for a plan with a 24-month agreement.
00:37:12.960 A monthly plan is only $95.95, and you get the phone for free.
00:37:18.840 You can get a plan with us for as little as $85.95.
00:37:23.920 And then there are discounted family share plans with up to three free phones.
00:37:28.560 Those are also available.
00:37:30.280 The Iridium 9555 satellite phone will work from anywhere on Earth with no exceptions.
00:37:36.880 Oh, and how do you keep your satellite phone charged in the event of an electrical grid shutdown?
00:37:41.880 You're going to want our solar-powered satellite phone recharger.
00:37:46.420 You can get it all by going to sat123.com slash roger.
00:37:52.240 You need to have secure communications.
00:37:54.980 Get your Iridium 9555 phone now.
00:37:58.460 There you have it, folks.
00:38:03.660 Things like this catastrophic hurricane remind you why the Iridium 9555 phone and system are so incredibly reliable.
00:38:13.540 And again, you get the phone absolutely free when you sign up for a 24-month service contract to use the proprietary satellite.
00:38:23.120 I highly recommend it to you.
00:38:25.020 All right, Troy, let's continue going forward with the American politics.
00:38:30.040 We are 30-plus days away from an American election.
00:38:35.040 People ask me, you know, what is the October surprise?
00:38:39.880 Well, we're almost in October, and this hurricane is a perfect example of the kind of unpredictable event that, as we've demonstrated today, could really greatly affect this election.
00:38:51.620 The fact that two swing states, Georgia and North Carolina, are very severely impacted could affect the vote, which could affect the Electoral College, which, of course, could affect the outcome of the election.
00:39:06.040 And that has really been our focus here today.
00:39:08.620 But there were big football games this weekend.
00:39:12.380 It looked to me like Tim Walsh was not so well received at the Michigan game.
00:39:17.360 Well, Roger, it really is a tale of two campaigns.
00:39:20.420 We had examples of both Trump and Tim Walsh at different college football games yesterday, and the perception, or the reception, I should say, was a lot different.
00:39:29.940 We can call that different.
00:39:31.460 We have a clip first of Tim Walsh being booed in Michigan, and then just after this clip, I want to play another clip of Tim Walsh getting off of the plane in Michigan.
00:39:43.760 It was a really, really bizarre thing, Roger.
00:39:45.880 He's throwing his hands around and, you know, waving his arms around, and we have a clip of him greeting, which reportedly was a group of high school students had come to the game,
00:39:57.500 or to the tarmac, to greet him, Tim Walsh, after he got off his plane.
00:40:02.400 And he seems to grab himself in front of these women.
00:40:06.880 You know, I find it so weird, Roger.
00:40:09.020 Tim Walsh is the guy that comes up with the whole Trump and J.D. Vance are weird, yet this is one of the weirdest guys I've ever seen in the public spotlight.
00:40:16.580 Let's roll those clips and get Roger's thoughts about Tim Walsh's very terrible day at the Michigan game this weekend.
00:40:27.500 We want to go.
00:40:47.540 We want to go.
00:40:49.660 We want to go.
00:40:49.880 We want to go.
00:40:57.500 We want to go.
00:41:28.200 That is just downright weird.
00:41:30.180 That's as weird as it gets.
00:41:31.460 I can't wait for this tomorrow night.
00:41:33.260 I can't wait.
00:41:34.120 I think it's going to be spectacular.
00:41:37.480 I think this guy is going to have a belly flop that you wouldn't believe.
00:41:42.840 But, you know, who knows?
00:41:43.720 I mean, his handlers are putting out the word that he's nervous.
00:41:46.500 That's an obvious attempt to lower expectations.
00:41:49.640 Donald Trump went to a football game this weekend as well.
00:41:52.360 How'd that work out?
00:41:53.160 Well, we have some clips of that.
00:41:55.720 And you could say it went really well, Roger.
00:41:57.780 I mean, the leftist people, you know, in the mainstream media, and I'm noticing more people on X, too, trying to desperately sway the narrative every time Trump appears in public.
00:42:07.380 Oh, he has to appear at a football game.
00:42:09.200 But as you'll see from these clips that we pulled from the game, Roger, the reception of Trump at this game was, I would call it, magnificent.
00:42:16.520 I would describe it as the fans really cheering for Trump.
00:42:21.640 And let's roll the clips.
00:42:23.240 I mean, you guys can be the judge of this.
00:42:24.680 You can compare this to what we just saw with Tim Walz in Michigan.
00:42:27.900 Thank you.
00:42:57.880 He also attended the collision of these two teams for the championship in Atlanta.
00:43:01.760 That came down to the final play.
00:43:03.000 Thank you.
00:43:04.200 Thank you.
00:43:06.880 Thank you.
00:43:36.880 Thank you.
00:44:06.880 I can honestly say, since I studied the polls every day, Trump has never been more popular. He was not as strong at this point in 2016. He was not as strong at this point in 2020.
00:44:20.380 The intensity of his support is unlike anything I've ever seen.
00:44:55.820 This is a man they've tried to kill twice. They may, God forbid, try yet again. But Troy, I'm feeling slightly more optimistic today. And you know me, I'm a pessimist by nature. But I have a feeling that he's an increasingly strong position here.
00:45:13.900 I think he's going to be even in stronger position after tomorrow night's debate.

00:46:42.140 But the best thing for you to do is to download the rumble app and follow us there. All right, Troy, we have a little bit of time left. Let's continue.
00:46:52.200 Well, Roger, one of your favorites, one of the subjects of I think maybe your most important book that you ever wrote is the is the hideous Hillary Clinton.
00:47:03.380 And, you know, it's funny to me because every time I see that book that she put out, I think about you talking about the fact that she airbrushed herself.
00:47:10.160 And you look at what's on the cover of her latest book. And really, it looks nothing like Hillary Clinton ever in the history of Hillary Clinton.
00:47:18.320 So it's kind of interesting. But she's called for media outlets to be censored that disagree with her.
00:47:23.460 She's called for journalists to be put in jail who disagree with her and who really cover the truth.
00:47:29.740 I guess that's kind of her standard for you belong in the gulag.
00:47:32.880 Hillary wants to send people, especially journalists who cover her and critique her, really, to the gulag.
00:47:38.300 She stated that publicly. And she's now come out and said that the press she's now she's dictating to the press that the press needs to have a consistent narrative about the dangers of Donald Trump.
00:47:49.160 She said this at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting.
00:47:51.880 They've kind of revived this under the guise of Ukraine, trying, you know, to redeem themselves, I guess, and to run another cycle of scams, as we've seen time and time again with the Clintons.
00:48:03.140 So I want to roll this and get your thoughts on where the Clinton Global Initiative is headed and where is Hillary hoping to end up following this 2024 election.
00:48:13.340 Let's roll that now.
00:48:14.140 The press needs a consistent narrative.
00:48:19.920 I mean, the press is not supporting Trump blatantly, very persistently.
00:48:28.180 The press is trying to be the press, be objectives, be, you know, reporting the facts.
00:48:35.180 The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses.
00:48:40.740 Because, you know.
00:48:44.740 This woman is a short tempered, foul mouthed, entitled kleptocrat who would steal a hot stove.
00:48:51.840 One of the things that I discovered when I wrote my book, The Clintons' War on Women, is that there was a memo out from the White House chief of staff to all members of the White House staff when Bill was president that said that if you encounter the first lady in the hallways or anywhere in the executive office building or the White House, you are never to look at her directly and you are never to address her unless she addresses you.
00:49:16.960 That's kind of warm, that's kind of warm, fuzzy person we're talking about here.
00:49:21.220 A week ago, she was calling for broad censorship of anyone who disagreed with her.
00:49:27.200 We played that clip.
00:49:28.720 Now, I'm not sure the press that supports Donald Trump, I'm not quite sure who she's talking about.
00:49:34.220 The press is being objective.
00:49:35.780 I'm not sure who she's talking about there either.
00:49:38.380 Certainly not ABC, NBC, CNN or MMS NBC, for example.
00:49:43.540 She's a bitter woman, she's a broken woman, Donald Trump broke her, and she's never, ever going to be president.
00:49:50.940 So if Donald Trump accomplishes nothing else in his lifetime, even if you don't want to acknowledge already that he should go down as one of our greatest presidents, which just based on his accomplishments when it came to peace and prosperity, he should.
00:50:05.080 The one thing he did do greater than anything is to keep that harpy out of the White House.
00:50:11.620 Well, Roger, that's very well put.
00:50:13.980 And we have another clip that I want to play for you about this one is Kamala Harris talking about, you know, she just returned from a mega fundraiser in San Francisco.
00:50:25.380 She's going all over the place now, as we just played earlier, you know, ignoring the press, refusing to answer questions about her role as vice president.
00:50:33.220 You know, there continues to be a question as China emerges, as these things erupt on the world stage, as Israel is launching these wide-scale attacks, and a wide-scale war in the Middle East seems almost inevitable.
00:50:45.040 It appears, Roger, that there's nobody at home in the White House.
00:50:49.000 Kamala Harris is campaigning, and Biden is off in his head, so we don't know where he is, and neither does he.
00:50:55.640 So we have a clip of Kamala Harris talking about the Hurricane Helene victims, now that she's been kind of grilled by the press for refusing to talk about it.
00:51:04.380 She's issued this statement.
00:51:05.720 Let's roll that and get your thoughts on this kind of lackluster response, and does this kind of speak to what you were saying earlier?
00:51:13.260 Is Biden putting her between a rock and a hard place here?
00:51:16.820 President Biden and I will continue to make sure that communities have the support and the resources that they need, not only to respond to this storm and its immediate aftermath, but also the resources they will need to recover.
00:51:32.440 First of all, Troy, I want to point out that the way you mispronounce her name is openly racist, okay?
00:51:38.880 You got knocked that off.
00:51:39.800 So it's Kamala, not Kamala, okay?
00:51:43.800 You're saying that because you're a racist.
00:51:45.740 It's a racist pronunciation of her name, and I'm sick of it.
00:51:49.100 It's easy for you to remember.
00:51:50.340 Let me tell you how.
00:51:51.920 Communist Kamala.
00:51:53.900 Communist Kamala.
00:51:55.240 Got it?
00:51:55.960 Comrade Kamala.
00:51:57.540 So don't let me hear you say it wrong again.
00:51:59.440 You got that?
00:51:59.940 I, you know, I wonder, you know, Roger, sometimes I wonder, I actually saw an interview.
00:52:08.680 It's funny because you mentioned that.
00:52:10.320 I saw an interview with Representative Burchett, and he was actually talking about how they mispronounce his name all the time.
00:52:15.720 But the interviewer actually did exactly what you just did right there, and she was dead serious about it.
00:52:21.940 And he's, and she was saying, oh, there's racial undertones in how you say this.
00:52:26.200 And it's just, it's so ridiculous that you almost have to look at the Democrat Party and say, how are they doing this?
00:52:32.980 And I think it speaks to the mirage that is this whole Kamala Harris thing, as I just mispronounced it again, Kamala Harris.
00:52:39.760 You know, the entire campaign, it's a media-created false image.
00:52:46.360 And I just don't see the popular support for this woman that they are claiming is out there.
00:52:52.040 And you wonder, is this image that they've created, this false idol that they've created, is this enough to push her over the finish line in this election?
00:53:02.080 I think Biden's undermining is going to come into play here, but she's not getting the traction that she wants.
00:53:07.600 And it's resulted in people kind of chastising people over the pronunciation of her name.
00:53:13.440 Yeah, I actually, of course, I was joking around, but I took that from an interview in which some talking head on MSNBC attacked another person who, because he didn't like the pronunciation that he gave to her name.
00:53:26.980 But he insisted that it was race-based, which is, of course, crazy.
00:53:30.940 I would point out that this weekend in Miami, they had a Kamala caravan, a car caravan that featured Ana Navarro, was not terribly successful.
00:53:43.600 I understand there were 16 people showed up for this incredible caravan.
00:53:49.120 They have one every weekend between now and the election.
00:53:52.100 We're going to be reporting on those.
00:53:54.220 We might as well go live from one of them on a Saturday just to demonstrate to you, so you can see with your own eyes, that there's no one there.
00:54:02.420 No, I think that her support is largely a psyop.
00:54:05.740 The fact is that the party that has been lecturing us about democracy, how Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy, where was the democracy in their nominating process?
00:54:18.700 Say anything you like about crazy Joe Biden, he got 17 million votes, and he got 71 percent of the vote in the Democrat primaries and caucuses.
00:54:28.440 Who nominated Kamala Harris?
00:54:31.080 Nobody is the answer.
00:54:32.820 There's no democracy at all.
00:54:34.800 So she was the candidate of the bosses put into this slot by Barack Obama because they feared that Joe could not win.
00:54:44.500 But they just gloss over that now, like it's not an issue.
00:54:47.620 The other issue I think she skated on is she told us the day after the CNN debate that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, that there was no evidence that he was slipping.
00:54:58.700 And then she joined with others in the cabal to force him out.
00:55:02.300 Why?
00:55:02.960 Well, because he was slipping.
00:55:04.940 She's never been held to account on that.
00:55:06.980 She's never been questioned on it because, well, she doesn't give interviews.
00:55:11.380 She doesn't do press conferences.
00:55:12.740 She doesn't go into any forum where the questions aren't given to her in advance and all approved.
00:55:18.820 I don't think, as Robert Kennedy said this weekend, that someone like that can be elected president.
00:55:24.660 But this is still because of mainstream media manipulation and the Internet censorship and general censorship across all platforms.
00:55:35.360 This race is much closer than it actually should be.
00:55:38.520 So nobody should, again, take anything for granted.
00:55:42.860 Well, exactly, Roger.
00:55:44.200 And there is a couple of things.
00:55:45.500 There's one more thing I wanted to ask you about, and that is the Make America Healthy Again platform.
00:55:51.860 And, you know, I think for so long, Roger, the idea of clean food, clean living, this healthy thing that's being led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:55:59.780 now with the Trump team, it was viewed as kind of like a fringe issue.
00:56:03.920 But I think a lot of people are glad to see Kennedy and Trump bringing this idea into the mainstream, making it front and center.
00:56:11.820 I wanted to ask you your thoughts on this idea of having RFK Jr.
00:56:15.780 held these events with the idea of making America healthy again.
00:56:19.280 Look, I think that this is this is the beginning of a realignment in American politics, and I think there's nothing nearly as health as important as the health of the nation.
00:56:30.060 I had Dr. Robert Redfield, who was the director of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control under Trump, on my 77 WABC radio show this weekend.
00:56:43.020 And he is joining RFK in this call for a complete war on chronic disease, which is particularly relevant among children.
00:56:52.860 We are more obese.
00:56:54.280 We are less healthy as a people than we have ever been.
00:56:58.240 And it's not just the additives in your in your breakfast cereal.
00:57:02.100 It's additives in all the food.
00:57:03.760 We're being slowly poisoned in our food.
00:57:07.340 I started reading the books of Cali Means.
00:57:10.080 I've become a major devotee to this idea of eating clean and eating healthier.
00:57:16.160 I think this is an important part of the realignment that is to come.
00:57:21.720 And I'm really glad to see RFK on the Trump bandwagon, because if you elect Donald Trump, RFK is going to have a major say in not only the changing the process by which prescription drugs are approved in this country on getting the power of big pharma under control.
00:57:40.020 But he's also going to play a leading role in cleaning up and making our food healthier.
00:57:45.120 So the make America healthy again, as an adjunct to the make America great again, I think is the beginning of a broader realignment.
00:57:56.220 The Democrats can have Dick Cheney.
00:57:58.780 He started an unnecessary war that killed tens of thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and tens of thousands of Americans.
00:58:07.140 They can have what's left of the McCain family.
00:58:09.720 They can have little Adam Kinzinger.
00:58:11.680 We will be happy to take RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Rob Blagojevich, for that matter.
00:58:19.120 This is the new realignment.
00:58:21.600 All right.
00:58:21.940 I'm afraid we are out of time, Troy, so I'm going to sign off here.
00:58:25.040 Folks, thanks for joining us today on The Stone Zone.
