00:01:14.080Roger, we are hunkered down here, and I hope you're doing the same, my friend.
00:01:17.100I hope you stay safe during the storm.
00:01:18.520Well, you know, I have relatives in the direct path.
00:01:21.960One thing I do want to say, and that is General Michael Flynn, an America's general, and his extended family's homes are all in the direct path of the hurricane as currently projected.
00:01:33.360So I call on everyone in the Stone Zone audience out there to pray for General Flynn, his safety, the safety of his entire family.
00:04:37.440I wouldn't be feeling good if you and your many patriots were not on the ground.
00:04:42.880This is maybe the most vibrant, grassroots political operation, certainly in the history of Pennsylvania, maybe in the history of the country.
00:04:53.160You and others who we've given credit to on this show really will be the fathers of victory if things go as they appear they're going to.
00:05:02.540And, of course, with North Carolina, and I spoke to one of the folks in the Trump campaign there this morning, we still don't have a solution as to how those people in the western part of the state are going to vote.
00:05:16.360Now, Troy and I had an excellent session on this on the Stone Zone the other day.
00:05:21.720Of 100 counties, roughly 29 of them are affected, of which 27 are deep red counties, counties where we must get our margin.
00:05:32.620There's one county, big county, Buncombe, which is Asheville, where the Democrats may be hurt.
00:05:38.660But we saw David Axelrod, by the way, after he made millions and millions of dollars on Barack Obama, why does David Axelrod continue to dress like a homeless person?
00:05:51.740Anyway, I don't want to get distracted.
00:05:54.040He actually boasted that wealthy, more intelligent voters in Asheville will figure out how to vote.
00:06:02.360But those hillbillies, essentially, in the other western counties, they're screwed.
00:06:07.560I hope that's not true, but I don't know the solution to this problem.
00:06:11.540The point of it is, and we'll focus on North Carolina tomorrow or the following day, Pennsylvania becomes now even more crucial than it was before, no?
00:06:23.460Yeah, and let me just back up one of the things you said, Roger.
00:06:26.300You know, you said it's not just about getting them to request the ballot, it's also about getting them to submit it by chasing it.
00:06:33.080Let me just share metrics with you from 2020.
00:06:35.200Democrats had a return rate of 10% greater than Republicans.
00:06:40.220So out of all the Democrats that requested a mail-in ballot in 2020, if you compare that to the Republicans that requested a ballot in 2020, they had a 10% return rate.
00:07:06.400From the party to Turning Point to PHAs to early vote action with Scott, we're all flooding the ground game to actually do what's needed to be able to win.
00:07:17.480And, Roger, the results have been off the charts.
00:07:22.500Right now in the state of Pennsylvania, if you compare mail-in ballot requests from 2020 at this time versus today, Democrats are down 439,000.
00:07:56.620Democrats are still beating us at raw requests.
00:07:59.300We expect that, but for them to only – for us to only be down 78,000 and them to be down 439,000 in a state that we only lost by 80,000 votes, they're running out of steam.
00:08:17.060They're spending twice as much money, and they're getting half the results.
00:08:21.920If I'm you, I'm very optimistic about Trump winning PA, and as we know, we win PA the path to the White House as Donald Trump returning come inauguration.
00:08:43.040I wanted to ask you, you know, you talk a lot about the synergy of the Republican Party and how we're all kind of working together, and it's all – it's an effort.
00:08:50.340And I think people at home are kind of hearing a contrasting message on the mainstream news.
00:08:54.960They're saying that, oh, the Republicans are – it's all about Trump.
00:08:58.680And what you're describing, this would lead to Republican gains not only in the White House but in the Senate, in the House.
00:09:06.840And this is a model that can be used across the country.
00:09:08.960So what you're describing is really the road forward, not some kind of dead end like the media is portraying, right?
00:09:14.940Yeah, it's been pretty fascinating to read these stories, and it's interesting to see how they try to twist your words and, you know, try to put people in positions of just completely fabricating what you said to fit this narrative.
00:09:29.620Look, at the end of the day, this is the first time ever that Republicans have come together with 501c4 organizations, with PACs, with county committees, with campaigns at every level.
00:09:40.160And so I would defend it tooth and nail that this is the first time you're seeing actual synergy where it's legal, okay?
00:09:48.680There are certain targets and data you can share between PACs and parties.
00:09:54.060So obviously, we're doing it all compliantly.
00:09:56.160But all the data sharing between Charlie Kirk, me, and Scott Pressler, all the data sharing between our other partners on the ground in Pennsylvania and in other states where we've got different chapters and different folks working together,
00:10:16.940This is the first time we're actually trying to win, in my mind, by putting a strategy together that says we're going to utilize the current rules, even if we don't like them.
00:10:25.920We're not here to advocate that mail-in ballots are great, but we're not going to forfeit the election.
00:10:30.620I'm not going to surrender to Kamala Harris and the corrupt unit party because we don't like the rules in my home state of Pennsylvania.
00:10:37.360No, you adapt, you come up with a plan, and you go fight to win.
00:10:42.320So I think all those reports are complete BS.
00:10:45.480I think I'm seeing the most synergy I've ever seen on the right.
00:11:36.460What do the Republicans do if that happens this time?
00:11:39.220Yeah, so I think the biggest way to avoid any type of fraud or any type of fear that it is a stolen election is to make sure that the amount that we win by is too big to rig.
00:12:10.060So I can tell you from experience, with these new sets of laws in Pennsylvania, there really is a precedent, but there's not.
00:12:18.620And right now, these mail-in ballots, the problem is any of them that aren't signed or they don't have the correct date or they don't have a secrecy envelope, they get put into what we call a provisional pile.
00:12:30.520So they don't count, but they get put in a provisional pile.
00:12:34.240And what happens, Roger, is after the election, these Democrats will take them to the courts.
00:12:40.340Each batch in each county will get its own trial and its own decision, its own appeal process.
00:12:46.900And the problem is our judicial system is weak, not necessarily just Democrat.
00:12:51.160There are some Republicans, as you know, Roger, that are just as weak.
00:12:54.300They're afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist or they don't want to have – they don't want to be disenfranchising voters.
00:13:05.640So my answer to you is if we win the election by 500,000 votes and there are 200,000 provisionals, even if they're bringing them back from everybody that went out in Philly and Pittsburgh, they don't have enough to overturn it.
00:14:02.640What I said is that every federal judicial district appoints one judge overnight to be the duty judge.
00:14:10.800That way, if an emergency motion needs to be filed on any matter, an election matter, usually they're medical matters, parents fighting over the treatment of their children in hospitals and so on, well, then you can find a judge in order to file an emergency motion.
00:14:28.780Of course, it doesn't mean that the motion would be granted, but that's the legal process has nothing to do with the judge putting their thumb on the scale, has nothing to do with the judges being biased in any way.
00:14:39.780But in Pennsylvania, when exactly what I described happened in the last presidential election, the local Republicans didn't know how to contact the duty judge, which is a formal process.
00:14:54.560It just shows you how distorted the entire fake mainstream media is.
00:15:01.760Well, Cliff, I think you guys are doing an amazing job.
00:15:05.140I think you're going to emerge as the heroes of election night.
00:15:08.200I know you're not doing it for that purpose.
00:15:11.260If people want to support you, if people want to send a few bucks to get a few more people on the ground to work your important program, where can they go?
00:15:44.480I'm really asking the Stone Zone, if you guys can help us get fully funded with these sponsors for our student ballot chasers, pachase.com.
00:15:53.440We're going to do the work to win on November 5th, but that work started back on September 1.
00:15:58.840This is election month, election month.
00:16:01.480And if we win PA, we win the White House.
00:16:03.880Roger, you're a hero, mentor, patriot.
00:30:25.440We should strengthen the alliances that we have, such as NATO, which is the strongest military alliance the world has ever seen.
00:30:31.720We must stand with our friend Ukraine, where Russia is attempting to change borders by force.
00:30:41.740And then you hear, if everything I've heard about Bob Woodward's book is right, Donald Trump secretly sent COVID test kits to Putin for his personal use.
00:30:55.280I ask everyone here and everyone who is watching, you remember what those days were like?
00:31:02.120You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?
00:31:09.620You remember how rare it was to have one?
00:31:12.280You remember people by the hundreds were dying every day?
00:31:15.480We would watch the number every day being reported of people who were dying, people who were in hospitals, without their family.
00:31:25.280Where the only touch that they had was of a nurse that they hadn't met because the family could not get there?
00:31:33.620And this man is giving COVID test kits to Vladimir Putin?
00:31:39.400Think about what this means on top of him sending love letters to Kim Jong-un.
00:32:02.120Under whose presidency did Vladimir Putin attack Ukraine?
00:32:07.220Why, that would be the Biden-Harris administration.
00:32:11.720It is also true that there were no moves on Taiwan during Trump's campaign.
00:32:20.980Yes, I think to have the president of the United States have a strong relationship with any world leader who has nuclear weapons isn't stupid.
00:32:52.660Because we don't want to talk about the impact of open borders.
00:32:55.840Because we don't want to talk about the fact that Kamala Harris had responsibility for our border.
00:33:02.080And we've had over, who knows, 20 million illegals flooding into the country, bringing drugs, bringing child sex trafficking to us, human trafficking, and the extraordinary number of weapons.
00:34:15.280Where has she been for three and a half years?
00:34:18.160Now, Joe Biden told us yet again, we played it on this show yesterday, I believe, she was in on all of the key decisions during his presidency.
00:34:28.520She was, by her own admission, the last person in the room when they decided to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan.
00:34:37.920But they also decided not to use the sophisticated, expensive drone technology that was used during the Trump administration to keep the Taliban pinned down to cover our withdrawal.
00:34:51.140So this is a smokescreen and an attempt to distract.
00:34:55.200I don't think that making Vladimir Putin an issue here is not going to work.
00:35:00.780This comes in the same vein as the misguided view that the support of Dick and Liz Cheney or of what's left of the McCain family is a plus.
00:35:14.080The Cheneys are hated in this country for a very good reason.
00:35:17.300Dick Cheney was the driving force behind a foreign war in Iraq, which killed tens of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, completely unnecessarily.
00:35:31.660It was based on a lie promulgated by former Vice President Dick Cheney.
00:35:37.280First of all, he said that the Iranians had weapons of mass destruction.
00:35:42.460Pardon me, the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction.
00:35:54.560So the support of war criminals and their daughter is not a plus with the American people.
00:36:00.500I don't really understand what the strategists in Kamala Harris's campaign are thinking.
00:36:05.480Well, and Roger, I just want to ask you, because this goes back to Nixon even, the person that they've used, and I say they because it seems that this is a pointed attack.
00:36:15.360You see Kamala Harris there, or Kamala Harris there, brushing it off with what I'm hearing about, you know, like she isn't intricately involved in this.
00:36:23.360Of course, this is an election ploy, and we're hearing that they've used Bob Woodward to release this.
00:36:28.860Now, Bob Woodward has a history of being kind of the megaphone for the deep state to do their bidding and put out whatever they want, really, even dating back to Nixon, isn't he?
00:36:41.380Bob Woodward has a record of complete and total fabrication.
00:36:46.200So we can go back to the Nixon days, the stories he tells in his book about Nixon talking to the presidential portraits on the walls.
00:36:56.520There's no source for that because, well, it never happened.
00:36:59.260Then he claimed in another of his books that former CIA director Bill Casey, on his deathbed after Woodward claims that he slipped into the hospital, confessing everything regarding Iran-Contra.
00:37:15.040I've talked to Bill Casey's doctor, his wife, and his daughter.
00:37:18.900At the time that this allegedly happened, Bill Casey had been hit by a debilitating stroke and no longer had the capacity for speech.
00:37:30.640Also, there's no record of the round-the-clock security says that Bob Woodward never got into Bill Casey's hotel room.
00:37:39.980So he fabricated a story about a man who was dead and can't refute it.
00:37:45.140Then, of course, there's his book on John Belushi.
00:37:48.340The Belushi family has issued a statement saying that it is rife with fabrications.
00:37:53.780Bottom line, you can always tell when Bob Woodward is lying.
00:38:04.200You know, it was probably the best point in the debate, and it kind of spoke to me, the VP debate, it spoke to me to the decimation that was going on when Tim Walsh was kind of relegated to calling himself a knucklehead.
00:38:14.800And he did so when he was asked about his many lies about Tiananmen Square and trips to China that he had taken while that was occurring.
00:38:23.300And we have a clip from a 60 Minutes interview.
00:38:25.940Now, we're going to roll another clip of this, Roger, but this is the Tim Walsh portion of the 60 Minutes Walsh-Harris interview,
00:38:34.000in which he's pretty directly confronted about these lies and numerous other lies that we've documented on this show before.
00:38:41.140And you'll see, again, he calls himself a knucklehead and tries to get out of it.
00:38:45.000I want to get your thoughts on this guy melting down.
00:38:48.060I have never seen a VP candidate that has hurt the ticket.
00:38:52.040I think this guy is really, truly, every time he speaks, hurting Kamala Harris' chances in 2024.
00:38:57.720So let's roll that clip, get Roger sauce on the Walsh meltdown that's continuing to just burn this campaign.
00:39:03.060Walsh has been criticized for embellishing or telling outright falsehoods about his military record and about his travels to Asia in the 1980s.
00:39:12.980In your debate with J.D. Vance, you said, I'm a knucklehead at times.
00:39:18.260And I think you were referring to the time that you said that you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest when you were not.
00:39:27.560Is that kind of misrepresentation, isn't that more than just being a knucklehead?
00:39:33.560I think folks know who I am, and I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong, rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump.
00:39:45.440But I think it comes down to the question of whether you can be trusted to tell the truth.
00:39:56.200I will own up to being a knucklehead at times, but the folks closest to me know that I keep my word.
00:40:01.960Yeah, I don't. Self-deprecation is fine, but calling yourself a knucklehead.
00:40:08.220I don't think people want a knucklehead, a heartbeat away from having their finger on the nuclear trigger.
00:40:15.080It's not just that Tim Walsh misremembered when he was in China.
00:40:21.080It's the fact, first of all, that he was in China 33 times taking students there for indoctrination.
00:40:27.920It's the fact that Tim Walsh taught at a Chinese communist-controlled university.
00:40:34.460In other words, he's actually been on the payroll of the communist Chinese.
00:40:39.120People who are familiar with China tell me how this works, that they bring students and other thought leaders over there for complete indoctrination.
00:40:48.360This guy was a last-minute pick for vice president after Barack Obama pressured Kamala Harris and her people not to take Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania
00:41:02.160for fear that they would alienate the large Muslim American populations in Michigan and Minnesota by taking a Jewish running mate.
00:41:13.060And they went, as you know, first to Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.
00:41:20.760Now, they didn't take Kelly because it turns out that he's partners with a Chinese communist-controlled company
00:41:28.500that actually makes these surveillance, these spy balloons, like the one that floated all the way across the United States
00:41:35.320until Joe Biden ordered it shot down over the ocean, after, of course, it had already transferred all of the data
00:41:43.720from their surveillance cameras back to Peking.
00:41:46.820It is extraordinary that there's been no questioning of Governor Walz about his relationship with our most dangerous adversary,
00:41:58.640that would be China, and the stories about him lying about his military service, which really has two elements.
00:42:06.760It's not just that he lied about combat.
00:42:15.140But the fact that he also lied about his rank, I don't think the American people want a liar or a self-described knucklehead
00:42:25.680as being one heartbeat away from the presidency and the nuclear button.
00:42:32.000Well, I think you're exactly right, Roger.
00:42:33.440And that appearance on 60 Minutes is continuing to be one of the biggest topics, you know, out there.
00:42:38.000People really hammering that over and over again.
00:42:40.880And I think, look, the interviews that she's done can't compare with Donald Trump because, as we showed earlier in the show,
00:42:49.200you know, Trump does a very relaxed interview.
00:42:51.280He's very relaxed in his presentation.
00:42:53.520He even takes time out of making a point to joke and to be more personable in his approach.
00:43:01.560And I think, you know, normally, Roger, you would see in a primary, somebody like Donald Trump would rise above the rest because he's just talented at what he does.
00:43:12.320He's a fantastic presenter of ideas and information.
00:43:16.560And Kamala Harris never had to go through a primary.
00:43:19.480So we're seeing her on this stage that I don't think that she's ready for.
00:43:23.320And there's a lot of questions rattling around out there now.
00:43:26.540I want to say this is speculation, but people have said that there's a possibility that Kamala Harris has been drinking more.
00:43:35.400There's a possibility that she's been on any kind of drugs, whether it be marijuana or pills or things like that.
00:43:41.360And several doctors and nurses have even sent me emails just as an editor-in-chief of Slingshot News that have said,
00:43:48.120look, we think that this woman is on some kind of prescription medication.
00:43:53.580We think that there's something going on with her.
00:43:55.660So among these questions, Roger, she made the decision last night to drink a beer live on TV with Stephen Colbert,
00:44:03.040reminiscent of the Elizabeth Warren beer incident on Twitter.
00:44:06.860So I want to roll this and get your thoughts on an idea that someone running for president usually doesn't consume alcohol like that in an open setting.
00:44:16.720It's kind of something that's a little different.
00:44:18.140I want to roll that clip and get your thoughts and ask you, have you ever seen this done before by a candidate where they try to make it like they're the person to have a beer with?
00:44:27.080You know, everyone, when you first became the nominee and named Tim Walz as your vice president nominee, people were calling it the vibe election.
00:44:39.480But elections, I think, are one on vibes because one of the old saws is they just want somebody they can have a beer with.
00:44:44.840So would you like to have a beer with me so I can tell people what that's like?
00:44:47.960Okay, this was, now we asked ahead of time because I can't just be given a drink to the vice president of the United States, but I'd ask you, you asked for Miller High Life.
00:47:31.520Those taxpayers who got the greatest tax reduction were the taxpayers in the middle brackets.
00:47:38.160The greatest tax reduction went to those making between $15,000 and $30,000 a year.
00:47:45.220Those are not billionaires, but they got the highest rate of tax reduction.
00:47:50.180Billionaires, on average, got about a 1% decrease in their taxes.
00:47:55.500It's just another lie put forward by the Harris campaign.
00:47:59.560Well, and Roger, the Americans out there that have dealt with the IRS, I think there's a significant portion of Americans out there who don't realize that there's so many of us out there that don't really deal with the IRS.
00:48:11.980And those of us who have to deal with them and write them checks, like if you're in business or you own a business or anything like that, I think it's just a mindset thing.
00:48:21.000And Americans, there's so many of us out there that just really are not comprehending what's happening.
00:48:27.200And they happen to be people usually my age.
00:48:40.240But we see the result of Democrat governance across the country, Roger.
00:48:44.620And we're seeing it right now in the state of North Carolina because there's people all over the state of North Carolina who don't have access to power.
00:49:24.000Let's roll a clip of this disgusting North Carolina governor, despite the fact that everybody's saying they can't get the help they need, on TV saying, yeah, we're helping everybody and FEMA's doing great.
00:49:34.660He's basically spitting in the face of all these people who can't get help, people who we revealed here on the Stone Zone are primarily voters and supporters of President Trump.
00:49:43.560So let's roll that clip and get Roger's thoughts.
00:49:45.700What has the federal response been like in these last couple of weeks?
00:49:52.880And we're just keeping our heads down and making progress in response and recovery in Western North Carolina.
00:49:59.660There are thousands and thousands of local, state, and federal officials here on the ground.
00:50:06.640The FEMA administrator has been with me on the ground the entire time.
00:50:11.860She just went to Florida this morning, which is where she needs to go with Hurricane Milton coming.
00:50:16.700But we have almost 1,800 National Guard soldiers.
00:50:20.120We have almost 1,500 military soldiers from military bases.
00:50:24.600We have emergency personnel, FEMA personnel, local government emergency response people.
00:50:32.660It has been an amazing response to a catastrophic storm.
00:50:38.520But this swirling vortex of disinformation is beginning to affect people there on the ground.
00:50:47.120I had an officer come up to me and say, why are they saying we aren't doing anything?
00:50:53.200In fact, this is demoralizing to all of the people who are working so hard.
00:50:58.280Those first responders who went into people's homes and pulled them out of windows in swirling waters.
00:51:04.400People who are working around the clock to get oxygen bottles and insulin to people in the remote, rugged areas of the mountains.
00:51:15.100The people who are working to get the power back on.
00:51:17.660We've gone from a million to about 140,000 power outages.
00:51:22.800People who are working to restore communications and water systems.
00:51:27.280And you're also making some people wary of applying for aid and relief because you have these crazy stories about FEMA coming in and taking people's land and stopping donations from coming in.
00:51:45.860And it's very frustrating when you're on the ground working hard every day.
00:51:50.840In fact, I'm going to leave here, go to the emergency operations center and head back out west again.
00:51:55.320But I'll tell you what, the people of Western North Carolina are resilient and determined and courageous.
00:52:01.800And we're going to be with them every step of the way as we recover from this catastrophic storm.
00:52:10.240So in other words, the governor's saying is, believe what I tell you, not what you see with your own eyes.
00:52:16.740I'm sorry, go on social media and just spend a little bit of time.
00:52:20.400You see real people, not politicians, real people telling you what's going on around them, telling you about the hundreds, if not thousands of dead bodies they've seen.
00:52:31.840Yesterday, I got a message from a woman who is a mortician.
00:52:47.080This is not something that is being made up.
00:52:49.240Troy, between today and tomorrow, please go online.
00:52:52.960Let's pull together the videos of real people telling us what's going on in Western Pennsylvania, Western North Carolina, pardon me, rather than politicians like Roy Cooper.
00:53:05.820Well, and Roger, it's a devastating thing.
00:53:08.820And we're getting, you know, another hurricane here.
00:53:10.900So as he just described, there's limited resources as far as the federal response is concerned.
00:53:16.200President Biden has already said that there's not going to be additional resources.
00:53:19.800And now we're in Milton barreling towards Florida and expected to really almost destroy the city of Tampa.
00:53:28.360We're seeing what the Democrats are doing right now.
00:53:31.160This is what Democrat control looks like.
00:53:33.440And if you want to know what things will be like in this country if Kamala Harris wins in 2024, just look no further than the people in Western North Carolina, because they are experiencing what it's like to have a Democrat governor right now.
00:53:58.620And it's just the idea, Roger, that we continue to give all these people money.
00:54:02.900We continue to send our tax money into D.C. and we get absolutely nothing for it.
00:54:08.880And in our disasters, they literally just spit in our face and then don't do anything and go on TV and say, no, those people online, they're lying.
00:54:18.400People can't wait to see us come around.
00:54:20.240I mean, I think Ronald Reagan said it best, there's nothing more scary than somebody coming around and telling you that they're from the government and they're here to help.
00:54:30.920And if we continue to cover this, I think that's what's really angering them, Roger.
00:54:36.580They're not allowed anymore because of social media, because of independent news.
00:54:41.260They're not allowed to just repeat what is said on ABC, NBC, and CBS and have it become reality.
00:54:47.800And just for somebody like you to see them lose that power just from the days of Richard Nixon to now, it's got to be something that's truly beautiful.
00:54:57.460They've lost their monopoly on the flow of information, haven't they?
00:55:01.480They have, but they're hysterical about it.
00:55:06.100They tried to clean this up, but it doesn't work very well.
00:55:09.000Very disappointed in Mike Smirconish, who is a smart guy, but who now is saying, oh, well, Hillary Clinton was only talking about limiting information on the Internet to protect children from misinformation.
00:55:22.620No, she doesn't want anyone whose political views are different than hers to have a voice on the Internet.
00:55:29.500You've heard Kamala Harris say the same thing.
00:55:32.320This is one of the driving issues, as you know, that got Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to decide to abandon his candidacy and support President Donald Trump.
00:55:43.360Because if Kamala Harris is president, even more so than today, and we already have widespread censorship on Facebook, on Instagram, on TikTok, on most social media,
00:55:59.500but you can expect a complete clampdown on all forms of mass-based free speech.
00:56:10.420All right, unfortunately, we have to wrap this up.
