2:02
for the ride. Thanks a lot for stopping by. Glad to
2:04
have this man back. It's Roger Stone, the host of the
2:06
Stone Zone. Go to stonecoldtruth.com. He's our good
2:09
friend, great friend to President Trump. And
2:11
we're all celebrating so much, Roger, that the voice is
2:13
not where it normally is, but I appreciate you making
2:15
time. How are you? I'm great. I
2:18
think America's about to enter a golden
2:21
age, a golden age of peace and
2:23
prosperity under the wise leadership of
2:25
a man who's already proven that he can
2:27
be a great president, but will
2:30
be even a greater president in his
2:32
second term. It is a
2:34
major repudiation of the
2:37
crazy globalist left-wing policies
2:39
of Joe Biden, Kamala
2:41
Harris. It is the
2:43
beginning of an actual
2:45
realignment of our politics. Joe, you know
2:47
this. The division in America today is
2:50
an opportunity for Republicans and Democrats. It's
2:53
between an unelected globalist
2:55
elite and common people.
2:58
The regular Americans who just want
3:01
to live free and have the
3:03
greatest, safest country
3:05
in the world with the greatest opportunity.
3:09
I think this realignment is historic. There's
3:11
only one man who could have done
3:13
this, and that's Donald J. Trump. I
3:16
agree with you. I'm going to ask you some other stuff
3:18
in a moment, but let me ask you this up front.
3:20
Had they left Joe Biden in there, would he
3:22
have done better? I think Trump still beats him, but would he
3:24
have done better than her? She got shellacked. Well,
3:27
the answer, of course, you'll never know, actually,
3:30
but the answer is perhaps. We saw Joe
3:32
melt down in one debate. Had
3:34
he melted down like that in two
3:36
other debates, let's say, then
3:38
the disaster could have been even greater.
3:40
On the other hand, Kamala Harris was
3:43
the most empty vessel possible.
3:45
She didn't know anything.
3:47
She didn't propose anything. She couldn't say
3:50
anything. She couldn't answer any questions. She
3:54
essentially made an entirely negative campaign,
3:56
a campaign of eight and by
3:58
tuporation. Trump is Hitler and anybody
4:01
who votes for him is a Nazi. That's
4:03
not a very uplifting or inspiring message for
4:05
the American voters. I couldn't agree more. It's
4:07
Roger Stone. Go to stone cold truth.com and
4:09
go go watch your show. Every time you
4:11
can, he does an amazing job. A great
4:13
friend of the president for a long time,
4:16
advisor for a long time. Uh, when we
4:18
were going into this and you
4:20
just said something that, that took me
4:22
completely off track of where I wanted
4:24
to go with you today, you said
4:27
unelected bureaucrats, unelected oligarchs under unelected overlords.
4:29
And it's not like you're making it up,
4:31
Roger. You've got Kamala Harris who didn't get
4:33
one vote in the primary. Didn't get one
4:36
vote when she ran the first time in
4:38
19, she was out before Iowa and was
4:40
handed the mantle and literally the Democrat party,
4:42
the voters in this country, even those who
4:44
are center left a little bit, we're told,
4:46
I don't care who you voted for. This
4:48
is who you get. Americans don't like
4:50
that. Do they know they really don't, but
4:52
the real irony is these, the same people
4:55
who have been, who've been preaching
4:57
to us about democracy. Where
5:00
was the democracy? Where was the
5:02
democratic process in her selection? She's the
5:04
candidate of the bosses. She's the candidate
5:07
of the Obama. She was foisted
5:09
on the party, sending the, or about
5:11
Joe Biden. I'm not a fan, but
5:13
he got 71% of the vote. He
5:17
got 17 million votes in
5:19
the Democrat nominating process. He
5:22
was the product of a, of
5:24
a democratic process. She didn't
5:26
get a single vote. There was
5:28
a brief period thereafter. They forced
5:30
Joe out and there's no doubt
5:33
about that. They bludgeoned him out
5:36
that the Kamala announced
5:39
her candidacy. The Clinton's quickly
5:41
got on board, but
5:43
I think Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle
5:45
were looking around for another
5:47
candidate. They waited. They did wait.
5:49
That's because I think Barack was
5:51
trying to convince Michelle to
5:54
run. I predicted that openly. I think he
5:56
failed. I think, but I think he tried
5:59
in that same period. you Joe, Nancy Pelosi
6:01
was talking about we need an open
6:03
process, we need an open convention and
6:06
then she finally fell in line and
6:09
Obama threw in the towel. Then
6:12
he sent over his three
6:14
top political operatives, David Pfloff,
6:16
Stephanie Cutter, a guy named
6:18
Michael Stewart to take
6:20
over Kamala's disastrous campaign and
6:22
try to save her which
6:24
didn't work very well. So
6:27
yeah, the folks who keep lecturing
6:29
us about democracy, they have no
6:32
commitment to democracy, none whatsoever. You
6:34
know what blows my mind and it's Roger Stone,
6:37
the amazing Roger Stone, check out his radio program
6:39
on WABC, is that Saturday's Roger or Sunday? Sunday,
6:41
every Sunday from 3 to 6 Eastern
6:44
you go to WABC radio.com and
6:46
listen. Make that happen. Yeah, you
6:48
can listen online from around the world. When
6:51
we're watching the process happen and Obama
6:53
knew that he had to get back
6:55
into campaign mode, he shows up in
6:57
Pennsylvania and when he spoke down to
6:59
the black men sitting there listening to
7:01
him, Roger, it was over. In my opinion,
7:03
when I saw him do that, the shine
7:05
came off of who he was. The
7:08
actor who was this positive uplifting guy was
7:10
gone. When he's making faces at them going,
7:12
really? You're going to vote against her when
7:15
she's just like you? I mean, when you
7:17
chide somebody like that, when you deride somebody
7:19
to their face like that, they're apt to
7:21
say, screw you, I'm going to do whatever
7:23
I want. People that
7:25
he was talking to, they hurt just like you
7:27
and I do because of the prices, because of
7:29
the world situation, because of the border. Was
7:33
that the turning point in your mind where you knew
7:35
there's no way she wins when this is the mad
7:37
Obama that we have? Well, first of
7:39
all, his argument didn't make any sense. He was
7:41
basically saying, you have to vote for her because
7:44
you have a shared experience, really?
7:47
Right. The black young men were born
7:50
in Canada in a
7:52
wealthy or relatively wealthy Indian family,
7:54
which is not true. Right. And
7:57
I'm sorry, but the question of her
7:59
shifting ethnicity for. political expediency and
8:01
benefit was legitimate issue
8:03
throughout her career. So
8:07
it was a bogus argument. Here's the point. Black
8:10
Americans want what all
8:12
Americans want. Safe
8:14
streets, job opportunities, affordable
8:17
housing, a
8:20
school system where the schools are good
8:22
and they're free of drugs. They want
8:25
the same thing everybody wants. And
8:27
to think that they don't, well that's racist
8:29
actually. They
8:31
played the race card. I predicted they
8:34
would play the social security card. Trump's
8:36
going to cut your social security. No, you never said
8:39
that. Never. You didn't
8:41
propose that. In the entire time he's been in American
8:43
politics, he's made it very clear that
8:45
he would not touch social security. But
8:47
they just lie ad nauseum. What
8:50
was really amazing to me, Joe, was
8:53
election night. I was in Palm Beach
8:56
and I went over to the convention
8:58
center late. And
9:00
I was surrounded by a scrum of
9:03
these jackals in the left wing media.
9:06
It was like a lynch mob. And
9:08
they were like, so aren't you concerned
9:11
that in a second term that President
9:13
Donald Trump is going to try to
9:15
prosecute his political enemies and send them
9:17
to jail? I said, are you guys
9:19
out of your minds? What's
9:21
going on right now? They're accusing
9:23
him of planning to do what
9:26
they are doing, what Biden and
9:28
Harris are doing right now, today.
9:30
No, I don't think he's going to do that. Nor
9:33
do I think he's going to take a bunch
9:35
of reporters and put them up against your wall
9:37
and have you shot, as Chris Matthews claimed. These
9:40
people are completely insane. That's absolutely true. Roger,
9:42
are they insane? Do they think the people
9:44
that are dumb enough to consume what they
9:47
do will believe them? I can't tell. We've
9:50
got this Michael Eric Dyson guy who is on a
9:52
panel with Nancy Mace. And he's just light her up
9:54
and white privilege and you're a racist. And then afterwards
9:57
he takes a selfie with her and then starts hitting
9:59
on her through So are they
10:01
telling the truth when we see them on camera
10:03
or do they know that they're lying hoping that
10:05
they can trick the people watching them? Well,
10:07
I look I don't know if they're all the same, but I
10:09
do know this AOC
10:12
goes out and says Donald
10:14
Trump is going to have
10:16
the military attacking American citizens
10:18
ridiculous She says
10:20
this the same way week that
10:23
the Biden Defense Department
10:25
releases a new directive which gives
10:28
Military troops the
10:30
authority to use lethal force on
10:32
American citizens It's true happen before
10:34
and then they denied they did it is
10:37
if we cannot read They
10:40
they're always always guilty of
10:43
attacking us for doing Exactly
10:46
what they themselves are doing at that
10:48
exact second. It's a Roger Stone host of
10:50
the stone zone go to stone cold truth calm Roger
10:53
you've been involved in campaigns. You've been observing for
10:55
a very long time I wonder
10:58
when when the left doesn't realize that the
11:00
big issue is people can't pay their rent
11:03
and they can't pay their mortgage They can't buy groceries.
11:05
They can't go out to eat that the economy is
11:07
so bad They can't borrow money and if you can
11:09
borrow money the interest rate is through the roof They
11:12
seem to be just kidding. I'll give you an example
11:14
Joe Scarborough today on the morning Joe idiot show He
11:17
literally says so I'm at the at the grocery store the
11:19
other day and a woman says Trump is gonna win And
11:22
he asked the woman why is he gonna win and the woman said
11:24
because we don't want to pay $3 for butter And
11:27
then his wife Mika jumps in he says you mean $7 for butter
11:31
Roger it's that simple people don't want to pay $7 for
11:33
a stick of butter people don't want to pay $5
11:35
for it for a gallon of gas I mean making
11:38
it about abortion making it about Trump's a fascist that
11:40
was never gonna work cuz I can't pay my bills,
11:42
right? No, I think that's exactly
11:44
right. They're completely disconnected from how real
11:46
people live And
11:49
that's why they lost it was a repudiation
11:52
Of the disastrous policies that have given us
11:54
the highest gas prices in memory The
11:57
lowest buying power of our dollar Zoring
12:00
grocery grocery prices unsafe
12:02
neighborhoods. I don't know about where you
12:05
live, but here's what I know in
12:07
my neighborhood Suddenly in the last six
12:09
months. We have a rash of cars
12:11
being broken into homes being broken This
12:13
never happened before this never happened before
12:15
so there's a crime epidemic in this
12:17
country There's a drug epidemic in this
12:19
country It's caused by our
12:21
open borders and the fact that we have
12:23
20 million I think
12:26
illegals flooding into this country.
12:28
Yes, and they act
12:30
like it didn't happen Or that that's
12:32
a distortion or or maybe we should just open
12:35
the doors and let them in And
12:37
then Kamala Harris runs for president. She pledges 1500
12:41
new border security agents and I will seal
12:43
the border Why would anyone believe that you
12:45
had three and a half years to seal
12:47
the border and you didn't do it? You
12:49
didn't talk about doing it now suddenly you
12:51
look at your polls and you say oh I
12:53
need to pretend I'm going to seal the border
12:56
because that's what the polls tell me I need
12:58
to say in order to get elected Well, she
13:00
was gonna do no tax on tips and a
13:02
new child tax credit gonna seal the border She
13:04
might as well called herself Kamala Trump by the
13:06
end of it It is a it is Roger
13:08
Stone Stone's own stone zone is the show go
13:10
to stone called truth.com Check it out on Sundays
13:12
3 6 p.m. On WABC in
13:14
New York You can download the app and go
13:16
listen to it. So Trump now has four years
13:18
in his back pocket. He's already been there He
13:20
gets the swamp four to six thousand employees
13:23
that many of them leaking stuff and all
13:25
this Roger Can he go into the clear
13:27
mind open eyes and say I get
13:29
what you guys are doing It's not gonna work this
13:32
time and set an agenda day one Well,
13:34
I think that remains to be seen that he
13:36
has an agenda of that. There is no doubt
13:39
He has the perfect prescription to bring this country
13:41
back to where we were with unprecedented
13:43
peace and prosperity Right
13:46
he understands that drilling for oil
13:48
and gas and bringing down energy
13:50
prices Is the
13:52
cornerstone of a of a broadly
13:54
robust economy? He knows he has
13:56
to do something about affordable housing
14:00
He knows that he has to solve
14:02
these two international crises that have driven
14:04
us to the brink of World War
14:06
II. So his agenda, there
14:08
is no question about. There is no
14:10
doubt right now that he is being
14:12
rushed by RINOs and other establishment warmonger
14:14
types who are now saying, oh, I
14:17
was with you the whole time. Look
14:20
at my academic credentials. I'm a good Republican.
14:23
I need to be Secretary of blank.
14:26
The question is, and then they'll
14:28
have their rich friends and their
14:30
other people of consequence call and
14:32
lobby on their behalf. What
14:35
will the president do? I don't know. I don't know
14:37
what he will do. I do know that he learned
14:39
a lot in his first term. He learned a lot
14:41
since his first term. In my heart,
14:43
I believe in the end, he will do the
14:45
right thing, which is to appoint good men and
14:48
women who support his policies,
14:50
who won't seek to dilute them
14:52
or undermine them or stop them.
14:55
No more John Kelly's, no
14:57
more HR, McMaster's. And I'm
14:59
sorry, no more Mike Pompeo.
15:01
I saw Mike Pompeo in
15:04
2023 on television saying
15:07
this investigation into the president's handling
15:09
of documents is entirely legitimate and
15:11
that Jack Smith should be allowed
15:14
to pursue that per prosecution. That's
15:16
wrong. That's not the guy wanting
15:18
my cabinet. Yeah, I'm with you. It's the
15:21
same Mike Pompeo who went, he was CIA
15:23
director, wanted to assassinate Julian Assange
15:25
in the embassy. This is
15:27
at yahoo.com. This is not a conspiracy
15:30
theory. Why would you want to
15:32
do that? Because he exposed the deep state, because
15:34
he exposed the corruption of both
15:36
Republicans and Democrats who lied us
15:38
into war. So he's
15:41
another guy I don't want around, but it looks not up to
15:43
me. It's up to the president. I think in the end, he
15:45
will do the right thing. Well, I think he's
15:47
a lot wiser now, not that he wasn't wise before,
15:50
but I think he went in before and you and
15:52
I have talked about this over dinner, I think. He
15:54
went in before to be the CEO and you're really
15:56
not the CEO. You got to be the CEO and
15:58
realize that a lot of people that work for
16:00
you, don't like you, will work against you,
16:02
will speak out against you anonymously, and you
16:04
just have to clean the slate. I don't
16:07
know how easy that is though, Roger, cleaning
16:09
the slate. You've been involved in Washington politics
16:11
for 40 years, maybe more. How
16:14
do you clean the slate? How do you clean up the
16:16
DOJ that's going after political enemies like
16:18
this one is done? Can you just walk in, just
16:20
clean the slate? How does that work? No,
16:22
you can. You have the broad authority to do
16:25
exactly that. Look,
16:27
the American presidency has enormous power,
16:30
and Donald Trump, I think,
16:32
has learned since his presidency that not
16:34
everybody who's a Republican is his friend.
16:37
I think he is going to clean house
16:39
at the Justice Department, which has become completely
16:41
politicized. He's going to clean house at the
16:43
State Department. It's going to be very tough.
16:46
He's going to clean house at the Defense
16:48
Department. Our defense capabilities
16:50
are in horrific shape. I
16:53
think he is going to start anew,
16:55
and I think he's going to launch
16:57
a second American revolution, a golden age
17:00
of renewal for this country like
17:02
nothing we've seen before. I have confidence in
17:04
that. Is there any doubt, and it's Roger
17:07
Stone, go to stonecoldtruth.com, take in everything he
17:09
does. Roger is a big
17:11
reason why President Trump won reelection. Is
17:13
there any doubt this is the greatest comeback in American history?
17:15
It's got to be, right? There's no
17:18
question about that. This is the greatest comeback
17:20
in American history. Prior to this, of course,
17:22
the greatest comeback in American history would have
17:24
been Richard Nixon. It's so funny. Richard
17:27
Nixon wrote Donald Trump a letter. The New
17:29
York Times published it in which he said, Mrs. Nixon
17:31
and I, this is in his post presidential years, are
17:33
watching you on TV. There is
17:35
no doubt in our minds if you ever
17:38
decide to run for public office, you will
17:40
go all the way. The
17:42
guy who had the record from
17:44
the greatest previous comeback has
17:46
now been surpassed by the guy he
17:48
recognized as having the potential to do
17:50
exactly what he has done. I
17:53
know you've got to go. I appreciate you making some time
17:55
today, Roger, and get better as soon as you can. We
17:57
need your voice. We need your presence and thanks for all
17:59
you do. Thank you. I really
18:01
appreciate it. God bless you. All right, brother. We're
18:04
back after this. Stay right here. Joe. And
18:20
