Jack Posobic
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobic. Christ is king. All right, folks, we are here with the one and only Roger Stone. We are on the sidelines of America Fest. Roger, give me your sense. You know these America Fest events as they've been going on. When Charlie launched this four years ago, we were in a quite different place than we are in 2024. How is it, you know, you can give us this sort of idea that we've never really seen something like this in American politics, certainly not in our lifetime. Roger Stone, seen a lot, but I don't know if you've seen a comeback quite like this, unless, unless you think about the comeback of a certain California governor. Can you compare what President Trump did, I suppose, from 2020, 2021 onto here? Is it comparable at all to what Governor Nixon and then vice presidential and President Nixon was able to do?
Roger Stone
You know, Jack, it's actually more significant.
Jack Posobic
Wow.
Roger Stone
Here's why. The reason that Trump's election in 2024 is the most significant comeback in American history is because he wasn't just winning a political campaign, even one in which a biased media and propping up his opponent, he was fighting the full force of the U.S. government.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
That was trying to bankrupt him, trying to keep him off the ballot, trying to incarcerate him. So.
Jack Posobic
And in Butler, Pennsylvania, and trying to kill him. Yes.
Roger Stone
So while Nixon does, after the 72 election, face a tsunami of lawfare that ultimately removes him, and he did carry 49 to 50 states, so it's a more sweeping victory, but the forces he overcame were not as significant.
Jack Posobic
Well, and if we had the, if America had the specific demographics of that age, I mean, I would imagine that the statewide victory would have possibly been 49 or more.
Roger Stone
I think the reason that Trump's victory is more significant is it signals a broader political realignment, one like we had in the country in 1932. So up until 1932, the vast majority of African Americans voted Republican. Yes, because of the role of Lincoln and the Republican Party.
Jack Posobic
Lincoln freed the slaves.
Roger Stone
In 1932, a majority of blacks still voted for Herbert Hoover over Franklin roosevelt. But by 1936, because of Hoover's anemic response to the Great Depression, blacks become Democrats because of the social programs of the New Deal. And they don't come back until 2024 when Trump begins to make significant inroads.
Jack Posobic
Well, in the New Deal and the New deal itself. And FDR's coalition becomes known as the New Deal Coalition for the next 50 years.
Roger Stone
So then again in 1968, we have another realignment. Even though Nixon is in a three way race and wins with a plurality, it's the first time that white Southern conservatives vote Republican.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
John F. Kennedy carried every deep Southern state in 1960.
Jack Posobic
That's right.
Roger Stone
Barry Goldwater carried them in 1964. That's the bridge in 1968. Nixon is now winning in the deep South. Wallace takes several states, but in the border South, Nixon wins. So blue collar ethnic Catholics in places like Pennsylvania, like New Jersey, like Michigan, like Ohio, like New York, are voting, are voting for Nixon and white Southern conservatives. This becomes the coalition that ultimately elects Reagan. It's a coalition that essentially Trump reassembles in 2016 and then in 2024, he expands the coalition and makes inroads among blacks, Hispanics, young people and so on. So I think the alliance with rfk, with Tulsi Gabbard, with Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor, this symbiotic, symbolic of a new, broader, permanent governing coalition. Here are the fault lines. People need to stop thinking in terms of Republican Democrat. The Republican Party is rife with corrupt rhinos who believe in nothing.
Jack Posobic
Oh, yes, well, they believe in, they believe in money.
Roger Stone
They believe in getting reelected, certainly. And money to get reelected. But what's happened here is those who favor war, those who favor censorship, those who think big Pharma and big food should do whatever they want as long as profits are fat. Yes, they have gravitated to the Democrat Party, the party that used to be the party of peace. The party used to bitch about the FBI spying on people during the Vietnam War. Now they love government spies.
Jack Posobic
You know, there's a video, one of my favorite clips that just shows this 2013 on RT of all places, with Congressman Adam Schiff complaining about FISA abuse.
Roger Stone
Oh, look, there's a great video of Maxine Waters complaining about the CIA trafficking Cocaine in demeanor, Arkansas, and selling it to finance the country's resistance to communism in Central America.
Jack Posobic
Roger, remind me, who was the governor of Arkansas when that was going on? Well, I can't remember his name.
Roger Stone
First they tried to bring the cocaine into Louisiana, right? But the Louisiana State Police wouldn't allow it. Then they tried to bring it into Texas, but the Texas Rangers were like.
Jack Posobic
So they went north, Louisiana.
Roger Stone
Then they found a friendly governor. I think his name was Bill Clinton.
Jack Posobic
Bill William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.
Roger Stone
And he was willing to take a payoff. His partner in this deal went to jail, by the way. Guy named Lassiter. But, yes, it is an undisputed fact that the Central Intelligence Agency, under George Bush and Bill Casey, the CIA director, trafficked millions of dollars into Mena, Arkansas, to convert it to cash to illegally finance the Contra freedom fighters in violation of the Bollinger.
Jack Posobic
And this is the. The poor Barry Seal, I believe, was the one who.
Roger Stone
There's been several kind of sanitized movies. I mean, Tom Cruise actually plays Tom.
Jack Posobic
Cruise, plays him in the most recent one, I believe, which is. I think they do a fairly good job. It's not. It doesn't give you the full story, but for Hollywood, the fact that it was even made at all, agreed, shows you something.
Roger Stone
And people are familiar. Barry Seal, very famous pilot, very famous for his ability to fly low, below radar, right? So he was flying all these drugs into first Louisiana, then Texas, then Arkansas. He was making millions of dollars being paid by the agency, but the IRS kept trying to collapse, right? So he goes to Vice President George Bush. His lawyer records this at the time, and he says, you got to get these people off my back. And Bush says, I don't know what you're talking about.
Jack Posobic
Right?
Roger Stone
Three weeks later, Barry Seale is dead, shot in the streets of New Orleans. And his lawyer who recorded that, drowned in a bathtub in Miami.
Jack Posobic
What a terrible accident. I'm so sorry that happened to him. No, folks, you know, when we actually realize how our government has been run for so long, and this is what I want to actually ask you about going forward. It's not just about President Trump's coalition. It is historic from a political perspective. But victory was. I spoke at Amfest here and I said, victory was not November 5th. Victory will not be January 20th either. Victory will be when in the military, of what we used to call the commander's desired end state has been achieved. And the commander's desired end state here is America being restored to greatness. And there are many challenges and hurdles to that victory. And I think that we're going to start seeing them probably in the first hundred days in terms of trying to deliver on these promises.
Roger Stone
I could not agree more. Victory can only be judged on the final day of the four year term to which Donald Trump has been elected. Until then, you will not know. We only control the House by three votes.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
If the Democrats get control of the House, the whole cycle of fake investigations, fake claims, fraudulent claims.
Jack Posobic
Oh, no, impeach them again.
Roger Stone
They will seek to.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
So we, and in order to avoid that, the most important thing that must happen in the first two years, but must happen from the beginning of the, of the very first day is we must have a boom economy.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
If we have a strong, vibrant economy winning back the House, it will be very important. The second thing we need to do is we need to deal with the question of election integrity. Now, in Orange County, California, more people voted than are registered to vote. That is an undisputed fact. Speaker Johnson should refuse to seat the Democrat members from Ocean from Orange County. Read the House rules. The House shall be the final arbiter of the legality of the election of its members. He can block, he can refuse to seat them and he should do so. I'm afraid that he will not do so, but he should do so. We should object. In the Senate, we should not seat Tammy Baldwin. I call fraud in her election. It is disputed. As long as there is a lawsuit pending, she should not be seated. If you do not use political power, you will lose political power.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
Now could you get every Republican in the Senate to vote for that? You might, because you're just diluting their majority by seating this woman. Her election is fraudulent. I'm sorry, 99,000 votes are found at 4am and they're 99% for the Democrat.
Jack Posobic
I've seen, I've seen Eric Hofd's video which he point put out. And look, Eric Kovny is not some, you know, dyed in the wool grassroots conservative, you know, fire breathing type. He, Derek Hovdi is a very serious guy. He comes from the world of business. He's not a politician. Great mustache, fake mustache.
Roger Stone
Great mustache.
Jack Posobic
Excuse me. Great mustache, great mustache. Refused to shave it even though I am told that a certain resident of a compound in Florida had suggested so at one point. But the idea is no fake votes, not faked mustache. The, the idea being is if he were able to sit down possibly privately with members of the Republican conference, then possibly publicly have called to speak, I think he makes a very strong case and he doesn't come across really as biased and even though he has an obvious bias is really what I'm trying to say.
Roger Stone
Well, but I guess the real question here is if the state is not going to deal with the problem. They're clearly not. And federal elections are, are really not regulated by federal government. And I don't think we want them to be. The Senate has a responsibility, they can determine through their own investigation whether someone has been legally elected or not. They did this to us in New Hampshire in the 1970s. They refused to seat a Republican congressman who had won a Senate seat there because they disputed the election. So I think that our leadership needs to do more and recognize if we don't win the midterm elections, this, this golden age of, of peace and prosperity and security and justice will last two years.
Jack Posobic
And two years is not enough for some of these, these biggest pieces. And you're absolutely right that losing the House and certainly losing the Senate or, or not having the ability of a stronger majority there is going to deny the ability of President Trump to be able to, to achieve this agenda. That said, though, even with the current how slight House majority and the Senate majority, a three seat majority there, but it's certainly 53 votes, gets you quite a bit. The ability, though, for President Trump to get through his legislation and some of these early bills is also going to be a challenge. Roger, what do you see in, in terms of the slate that President Trump should prioritize, Let me just say legislatively, obviously we know in terms of the border, in terms of deportations, these types of executive functions, a lot can be done at the executive level, but there will be a need for a legislative pitch. And so we're talking legislation since we're speaking of the legislative branch. And really that's been the flavor, I think, of the transition.
Roger Stone
Now the most important thing I think is obvious. We have to explore, we have to extend the Trump tax cuts. It is absolutely essential that the Trump tax cuts which are set to expire, which the Democrats, which Kamala Harris would not have renewed, quite obviously the Trump tax cuts must be renewed. I think this may be the single most important thing we have to do in terms of moving the economy forward. We have to, and I think the most this can be done by executive order. We need to start drilling for gas and oil. Of course, that, that one's kind of a no brainer. Beyond that, I think that you, you really have to use the executive branch power as they did. We have a new House report that shows that Adam Schiff and his sidekick Eric swallows well, without any question, leak classified documents. Now, they should be prosecuted. Senators can be prosecuted, Jack. No one is above the.
Jack Posobic
Did you know that I mentioned that in my speech at Impasse? No one is above the law. Liz Cheney. No one is above the law. Nancy Pelosi, Cassidy Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah. No one is above the law. And certainly, well, if George Santos wasn't above the law, then why would a US Senator not be above the law? And Menendez.
Roger Stone
But you know, we have a very fragile majority. We only lead by three seats. You have two special elections coming up in Florida in April. We have to win both of those, and I think we will. You have a special election in upstate New York for Elise Stefanik seat. Is my understanding that she will not vacate the seat until the seats in Florida are filled, which I think is wise. But that seat held by Elise Phonic was held by a Democrat as recently as 2015. So we can count nothing for granted. We have to be very vigilant about protecting our thin majority. But look, the speaker gets a huge amount of criticism. I don't like, I didn't like the continuing resolution because it was stuff with poor. It wasn't just increase. It was not just approving government spending at its current levels. That's what they tried to tell us. But there was all kinds of new spending in there.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
And therefore, I think it was correct that it was defeated. But Johnson has an almost impossible job. 50% of his caucus are RINOs who believe in nothing other than money and getting reelected. They don't care whether you have evidence that Joe Biden murdered a nun. They don't want Joe Biden criticized or prosecuted. They don't care if there's evidence that as vice president, he and his family took millions from China or Romania or Ukraine or Russia. They don't care. On the other hand, you have the firebrands who say, why aren't the Bidens being prosecuted? Why are we not, why are we not following up on all of these conclusions regarding the January 6th committee? I mean, so he has an almost impossible task because he has to get a majority to do anything. It's very hard.
Jack Posobic
I think it's absolutely prescient. Now, at the same time, we have a situation where we know that in 2016 and then in early 2017, elements of the Deep State launched an operation against the Trump administration and namely his national security adviser, General Michael Flynn. That same Deep State, these, these corrupt individuals at the FBI, maybe not the specific members of Schrock and Page. But so many others are still yet out there and in fact, so many of these types do still exist within the intelligence community. What should President Trump, and hopefully with a strong Director of National Intelligence as well as a strong CIA director and nsc, what can be done to really put pressure to, number one, make sure that doesn't happen again and then two, make sure that it is rooted out?
Roger Stone
Well, first of all, I don't know the answer to this, but if any of the 51 so called intelligence experts, officials current and former, who claim that Hunter Biden's laptop was had all the hallmarks of Russia, if they still have security clearance, it should be removed. Yes, there's step one. Step two, I think Jake Sullivan, we know from the Sussman prosecution, he knew that there was no computer terminal in Trump Tower connecting Trump to a Russian bank. He knew that was a fraud, yet he allowed Hillary Clinton to push that false narrative. He's also involved in the collection of the 51 agents. It just seems to me, for example, we now recently learned that prior to the counterterrorism investigation, Crossfire Hurricane even being begun, there's a secret off the books operation in which two very attractive FBI undercover agents are infiltrated into Donald Trump's campaign. They're actually in his traveling party while he's running for president.
Jack Posobic
Sixteen.
Roger Stone
Yes, yes. And their job is to fish for, for evidence against Trump or members of his staff. James Comey needs to be held responsible for that. That's spying. Isn't that what they removed Nixon for?
Jack Posobic
Certainly, he, he bugged the FBI director of the Democrat administration that was seated, had their candidate running. Hillary, who had also been a member of that administration, was directly spying, not just wiretapping. But you're talking infiltrating the campaign with.
Roger Stone
FBI agents, human intelligence assets inside Trump's campaign. It makes Watergate look like small potatoes.
Jack Posobic
Oh, no.
Roger Stone
But will come up. Will Comey pay any. I mean, I've seen him with his, his Kamala T shirt. I mean, is he going to pay any price for this?
Jack Posobic
No, I think that. And people ask me this all the time, you know, we're reporters. I should say not people that. What is your sense on revenge? What is your sense on retribution? I said I don't believe in revenge, but I do believe in something called reciprocity. And I certainly believe in something called justice. And justice will not be done until these crooked perpetrators have been brought to justice. And that the things that they have done, not just to President Trump, but to the American people, are actually Repaid, the debts must be repaid and balance has to be restored. And if it's not, then there is no disincentive for them to ever just do it again.
Roger Stone
So those who keep talking about revenge and retribution, those are guilty people who are whining out of fear.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
I believe what we're talking about is the rebalancing of the scales of justice so that we have one standard of.
Jack Posobic
Justice now, as simple as that.
Roger Stone
So when James Clapper goes before Congress and says under oath, no, there is no metadata collection program on American citizens and Edward Snowden proves that that's false, then Clapper should be prosecuted. They prosecuted me for allegedly lying under oath in my voluntary testimony about Russian collusion, which didn't exist. But why is Clapper now teaching ethics at Vermont College, plus getting a fat paycheck from cnn, although money may be getting tight over there since nobody's watching anymore. It's just another example of Comey lies to Congress about material matters. Brennan lies about spying on a Senate committee that is investigating his illegal use of torture in Afghanistan. He lies to a Senate committee about it, and then when he gets caught, he's allowed to apologize. Shouldn't be apologizing, should be in prison. So, yes, I don't think it has anything to do with retribution. It is a. The universe will always correct itself.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
And that's what's happening here. And by the way, I do think Pam Bondi has the courage, has the grit to go after these people. And no, they don't have to be tried in D.C. they can be tried in different jurisdictions.
Jack Posobic
You know, let me actually ask you about that, because this is something that you have a unique perspective, I believe, on unique point of view. And not only as a political strategist, but as someone who's been a victim of that system, political prosecutions. The Democrats have come up with a system through the DC Circuit where they have. They know that if they drag anyone before a Washington D.C. jury that is a Republican or is in any way associated with Donald Trump, they're going to get a guilty verdict. Regardless of, of what the law says, regardless of what the evidence says, it doesn't matter. That jury pool, we know 95% Democrats. So in what possible way could we short circuit that to be able to take that option off the table for them? I've heard legislation, I've heard some others.
Roger Stone
First of all, D.C. should not be, should not be a circuit. It's not a state.
Jack Posobic
Remove the circuit complete, not be circuit.
Roger Stone
Remove the circuit completely. So that's the first thing I would do. Secondarily, judges who have made unconstitutional decisions or who violated, they need to be called before the Senate in hearings to explain themselves. Here's a shock for your viewers. The judicial branch does not outrank the legislative branch. They're equal branches. The courts have no jurisdiction over the Congress. The Congress does have jurisdiction over the courts. So I think judges like the judge in General Flynn's case, who appointed a special counsel in violation of law, needs to be called before the Senate and asked why he did that. And if he objects and they need to send Sergeant Arms to go pick him up and bring him down for his testimony.
Jack Posobic
Simple as that.
Roger Stone
It needs to be remembered. It's a question of will. So let's take the. The famous Durham report. John Durham is appointed to get to the bottom of Russian collusion. He takes five years. It doesn't take five years. We already knew almost everything that was in his report. But he had to make sure the statute of limitation ran over so that Hillary and John Podesta and Jake Sullivan and the other perps, John Brennan, James Comey, Susan Rice, Joe Biden, you could say Obama. But I think the immunity ruling may make him, may protect him, I'm uncertain. But he waits five long years. Now he brings an indictment against this guy Sussman, who's at the very, very bottom of the totem pole. This is like indicting the guy who drove the getaway car for double parking while you let the bank robbers get away.
Jack Posobic
Right.
Roger Stone
And he still loses because Sussman's a Democrat. Although we, we learn a lot of those things in that trial that should have led to other prosecutors. No.
Jack Posobic
There's no chance that Sussman. So Sussman lies about the status of Carter Page, who at the time was working as an asset for the CIA when he was conducting. And the DIA as he was conducting these trips to Russia. They get asked, is Page doing this on behalf of you guys? He said, or behalf of the CIA? CIA says, yes, he is. The FBI then turns around to the FISA court, alters the email, and it's Usman who does that. Roger, would Sussman just do that by himself, this low level guy?
Roger Stone
Well, I mean, we know, for example, that prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky was a prosecutor in my case. Questions takes the 302 of George Papadopoulos. When they asked Papadopoulos, will you assist us in trying to find this mysterious, mysterious Professor Miffsud.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
Who you claim said that, you know, he had access to Hillary's emails Papadopoulos says, yes, I will. Zelensky changes it to, no, I won't. Why is this man still admitted to the bar? Why has he not been prosecuted? He's still working as an assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore, but not for long.
Jack Posobic
Certainly not for long. And now this was something that a lot of people I remember even in Trump's first administration were arguing, arguing for. They said, leave some of the U.S. attorneys, leave these leave behinds on the National Security Council. These are careerists. Just because they were in the Biden administration or at the time, the Obama administration, doesn't mean that they are bad actors, Roger. Should that action be repeated, Every U.S.
Roger Stone
Attorney should be replaced, every single one. And new people should be selected. And people should be selected, elected, based on their qualifications and their commitment to real, non political, impartial justice. So top to bottom, no, I don't think anybody should be retained in the national security apparatus. The people who invented the Ukrainian hoax were all careerists. Yes, the, the two twin brothers, they need to be breaking rocks someplace.
Jack Posobic
The Vindmans were on the NSC and the option came through to have them removed and don't need to name names, but someone in the former Trump administration who actually will be going into the new one, actually said that we should keep the current members of the nsc.
Roger Stone
We need a complete house cleaning. We need to. This, this administration needs an enema. And I know where to put the knob. It is time for a house cleaning.
Jack Posobic
I think it's exactly right, Roger. So, so we've talked about the deep state challenges. What? And we talked about the economic challenges as well. You know, these, the finance, the finance guys tell me all the time they say Zero Hedge has put this out, saying that they see the potential winds of recession giving the debt issues that we are focused on what is. Now, you mentioned oil, you mentioned the drilling, you mentioned the tax cut cuts. How serious should President Trump take this potential threat of a recession in 2025?
Roger Stone
I think he has to take it seriously, but this is why I'm very happy with his Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besson.
Jack Posobic
Scott Besson.
Roger Stone
Besson is an outside the box thinker. He's a radical supply sider. He's got some very good ideas about how to reduce our debt, how to reduce inflation. I think between Trump and Besson, who is a disciple of Larry Kudlow, I, they're going to get this economy cooking by the midterm election. So I think these look, as you know, with Trump, all the old rules are off, so the party in power loses Seats in the off year elections. Yes, except for when they don't. That isn't written in stone, pardon the expression. So I think they, they need to understand, I think they do understand the need to get the economy moving. Trump's deaf use of tariffs. I don't think people are confused. Trump is really a free trader. He doesn't want to put tariffs on people. If you will just give us a fair deal, we won't throw tariffs on. But if you won't, well, then we're going to clobber you with tariffs. And it worked spectacularly in his first term and it will work again. He would rather not have tariffs with Mexico or Canada or China. But if they're not going to give us a fair deal where we can sell our goods and services in their markets, well, then he has no choice. I think he's the best in negotiator in the world. You can see how some of these, like his statement that he's going to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada brings them to their knees like that immediately. Because. Because people know that he's unpredictable and he has this great tendency to actually do what he says he's going to do. So I think he's got huge leverage and I think he gets the economy moving relatively quickly.
Jack Posobic
One thing that we haven't talked about directly, maybe indirectly, but it's also the external factor of foreign policy. Now, we know that he has said that he's been working towards potentially even before he takes office and end to the Ukraine war. We don't know if that will happen at this time, though. Certainly he's trying to bring all sides together. Obviously have the situation in the Middle east always constant rumblings in Asia. When it comes to foreign policy, where do you think President Trump should focus first?
Roger Stone
I think he. It's a very difficult question, obviously. I mean, put the sanctions in place immediately on Iran and cut off their cash.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
And they will run out of cash flows because they've been on a spending spree since we gave them more than $190 billion. So put the sanctions back on. Even the Chinese will stop buying oil from them. If you are slow them down, you might try breaking them financially. As far as the situation in the Middle East, I think there's a little question. I think that Putin is actually exercised enormous restraint waiting for somebody he can.
Jack Posobic
Actually negotiate with in Ukraine.
Roger Stone
The Biden people aren't even talking to him. We have no negotiation which proves that they're committed to war. They're not interested in a settlement. They're not interested in stopping the killing. Trump can get Putin to the table. Trump has already proven to get Zelensky to the table. Zelensky's after endorsing Kamala Harris, realizing what a huge blunder that was, he runs to mar a lago to beg for absolution.
Jack Posobic
And Trump Tower as well.
Roger Stone
They both, they want to end this. They both realize that this conflict must end. The media can tell us that Ukraine is winning all they want. They're not. They're getting the crap kicked out of them. And by. And Putin will cannot freeze own domestic political. He cannot lose. He will not use and yes, he will use nuclear weapons if he has to. That's not where we want to go. So I think Trump will negotiate a settlement. By the way, Joe Biden blurted out, I'd be willing to give him the Donbas. He said it certainly did. So when they come back and say, oh, well, Trump gave away half the country, which I don't think will happen, so everybody's going to have to give here. No one should assume that the war will be settled to the complete disadvantage of the Russians or to the complete disadvantage of the Ukrainians. But I do think we have to stop the killing. I think that's the first thing he must do.
Jack Posobic
Well, and someone who took a lot of bitterness and a lot of response and a lot of attacks for doing this, Tucker Carlson, when he went over and sat down with Sergei Lavrov, I think it was very clear that watching this interview that Lavrov intended and the Russians intended that interview as a message for Trump, that they knew that President Trump would be watching this. Obviously, they know that Tucker is close with Trump. And so when people watch that interview and say, oh, that's Russian propaganda. No, no, no, no. It is a message diplomatically through certainly an unorthodox channel, but one that we can all see the direct connection to. And what did they say there? Certainly, they pressed their interest, but they also said that they were willing to talk.
Roger Stone
Yeah, look, I think everybody in the region has been ready to talk. It is. Our State Department is preventing any meaningful dialogue that might end the conflict. So Tucker's taken a lot of heat for being willing to interview Putin, for being willing to interview Lavrov. But in both those cases, I think they both tell you why they're doing what they're doing. No, it's not because Russia has this territory appetite. They're going to gobble up Ukraine. Then Jack, they're taking Poland, all the France, they're going to take Germany no, there's no evidence of that. That's BS and everybody knows.
Jack Posobic
But Roger, the media tells me that, that Putin can barely take over Ukraine. If he can barely get Ukraine, how's he ever going to get all of these other countries as well?
Roger Stone
It's, look, they're beaten and they know they're beaten.
Jack Posobic
Well, Roger, I will tell you this, though. The one thing that I do hear from folks that in the know, shall we just say as we're on camera right now, is that the message was essentially this, we'll talk, but we're not going to talk forever. And there, there is a huge hard line in Russia that believes, and I, I think that this is where Prigozhin, the leader of the, the Wagner group and some of these other individuals are coming from, is saying that this should have been done a long time ago. Putin said that recently, by the way. And if we don't deal with it in a way that's satisfactory, we're going to be here in five, in five years time. And so this has always been the crux of the matter for them is NATO and the missiles in Europe, particularly the, the ability of missiles to be within Ukraine, focused on, trained on the Kremlin.
Roger Stone
There's no question about it. We're, as you know, this country is now in violation of the Budapest memorandum in the Minsk Accords. We're doing exactly what we promised we would not do. Yes, push Ukraine into NATO, which means have NATO missiles on the ground aimed at Russia, not to mention bioweapon labs, which Victoria Newland blurted out existed and then tried to walk back.
Jack Posobic
But research facilities, Roger, research facilities. That's a conspir. Conspiracy theory.
Roger Stone
So we're, we're in violation of these, of these agreements that we signed. The problem here is that I think this could have been resolved. It would never even have started if Trump were there. But you have. It takes two to tango. You can't negotiate if the other side won't even sit down and talk. So, so Putin's right. Conversation should have happened a long time ago. We have to have a willing partner. By the way, you, I think Zoinski is ready. But, but, but Antony Blinken won't let him go, won't let him talk. Everybody here wants peace, but this current administration, and based on this incredible report I saw recently from James O'Keefe, Joe Biden doesn't even know where he is. No, he's calling Washington looking for Jake Sullivan, who's in the same hotel he's.
Jack Posobic
In when the Wall Street Journal finally woke up and did. Did a random act of journalism, as rushes say, and has told us that it turns out that they've been hiding Joe Biden's mental state this entire time. Wow. Just like all of us said, Roger, we're getting into our last couple of minutes here, but, you know, this has been. It's been an incredible 2024. But I keep trying to remind people of this that if we do not deliver on the promise of the coalition, if we don't deliver, if we don't get RFK and get the Maha movement where it needs to be, by the way, I don't know, since we're talking Ukraine and Russia right now, I don't know if I ever told you this. So, you know, my wife Tanya Tay, and born in the Soviet Union, grows up in Belarus, comes to the United States, and I was telling Nicole Shanahan this recently, that when Tanya comes to the United States and she's signing up and she's getting a health insurance plan and she's getting in there and they do your basic questions about your health status. They say, do you have any food allergies? Most common question you've heard, right? Ask it everywhere you go, do you have any food allergies? She goes, what are those? What are those? Tanya coming from Eastern Europe in a place and, and, and it had traveled throughout Europe in a place where GMOs are banned, in a place where all these things are bad. Roger, it's not that she had never heard of a food allergy. If she didn't have one. She wasn't aware. Aware that such a concept even existed.
Roger Stone
Yeah, I know. When, when Tara Reid, you know her, is a woman who I think accurately claims she was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden back when she worked in the Senate, when they basically sought to harass her and arrest her. She. She fled. She went to. To Russia. She. And I got a text from. She said, you wouldn't believe what the food is like here. The food is so pure, the food is so good.
Jack Posobic
Yes.
Roger Stone
The food is so much healthier than what they feed us in the United States. It was an eye opener to me. I hadn't thought of that. I thought kind of more like cabbage and black bread.
Jack Posobic
So. No, it's Poland. It's the same way I visited Tanya in Belarus. And there's clearly something that's going on. And look, you know, I think that America really trusts Bobby Kennedy in terms of this and wants to see that go through as well. And I don't want to as we're talking here, I don't want to skip over that as well.
Roger Stone
No, I think that it's the second half of the promise we've made the American people. It's not just that we're going to make America great again in terms of economy and peace and prosperity and security and justice, but we need to make America healthy again. And I think President Trump's position on this is perfect.
Jack Posobic
I have a, I have a two pronged plan here, by the way, something that, that I think is useful. It's one, one action. The banning of pharmaceutical advertising.
Roger Stone
Absolutely.
Jack Posobic
For big Pharma is it gives us a two birds with one stone kind of situation because, number one, it takes away so much from the doctors, from the population who want these drugs. And number two, it decimates cable news, decimates the mainstream media and takes away their biggest overall sponsor.
Roger Stone
I was talking about this on my show yesterday. I'm a strong believer they banned alcohol.
Jack Posobic
Advertising, cigarette advertising, advertising.
Roger Stone
So it makes no sense why we can't ban pharmaceutical advertising. Something that Trump must do.
Jack Posobic
I will tell you and I'll throw this out. 1776@Human Events.com 1776 humanevents.com yes or no, do you agree with this, this question? Of all the things I talk about on the show, it is the one that has given us and garnered us the biggest response of anything is the banning of pharmaceutical ads. Roger, just, just a couple of minutes left. You know, I have to ask while you're here, what, what are your plans, Roger, going forward as Trump takes office?
Roger Stone
Well, I certainly have no interest in any position in government because I believe I'm interested in politics. I'm going to continue to do my daily show, the Stone Zone, on Rumble every day at 8pm Eastern. I'm going to continue to do my weekend radio show. You've been on with this, Jack. You were on for your birthday.
Jack Posobic
It was on for my birthday in studio.
Roger Stone
Studio was great.
Jack Posobic
It was beautiful. Studio.
Roger Stone
Every Sunday from 3 to 6 eastern@wabcradio.com worldwide. You can listen to the show. I'm gonna continue to crank out substacks. I'm going to continue support candidates for nomination initially like Robert Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard. And I'm going to continue to speak out for the movement. I might help a few candidates here.
Jack Posobic
And there or there, but I will.
Roger Stone
Continue to be on the ramparts.
Jack Posobic
So, yeah, there's no slowing down. There's no, there's no pumping the brakes. There's no kicking the Heels up for Roger Stone.
Roger Stone
I'm just warming up. Are you kidding me?
Jack Posobic
You're just warming up? Well, Roger, it's, you know, it's, it's incredible to have you here. Thank you so much for being on Tell people again what the main site is.
Roger Stone
Go to stonezone.com stonezone.com from there you can find my rumble show, you can find my radio show, and of course you can buy my New York Times best selling book, the man who Killed Kennedy, the case against lbj, the Bush crime family, the Clinton's war on women. It's all available right there in the store at Stone Zone.
Jack Posobic
I'm telling you, Roger, that as much as I love your books, I, I'm, I'm thinking, I'm thinking a book on Watergate. I think it's time for. Do you think you have another book on you? And could there be one on Watergate?
Roger Stone
You know, I've already written the book called Nixon Secrets, which exposes most of the Watergate story. However, you're right, Jack. Since then, a number of documents have become so we know so much more.
Jack Posobic
Maybe, maybe you updated, you repackage a little bit. I feel like something, it's because, you know, you know, we've only got a minute left. But everything that happened to Trump has given so many people a new way of looking at their history. And when they look, as you say, at jfk, but then also at Watergate, people I think are ready to finally hear the true story.
Roger Stone
The same interests that killed John F. Kennedy, the same interests that remove Richard Nixon and asylum coup, have the same interests who tried to remove Trump with the Russian collusion hoax, then the Ukrainian corruption hoax, and then the January 6th hoax. And then finally, in a corrupted election.
Jack Posobic
I heard a, I heard a line the other day. They said, someone said, I don't remember. It was. They only have three plays. The Kavanaugh, the Nixon and the jfk. There you go. Ladies and gentlemen, the great Roger Stone. And as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
Episode Title: BONUS EPISODE: President Trump Is The MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENT In History w/ Roger Stone
Release Date: February 22, 2025
Hosts: Jack Posobiec and Roger Stone
In this bonus episode of Human Events Daily, host Jack Posobiec sits down with political strategist and media personality Roger Stone to discuss the monumental election of President Donald Trump in 2024. The conversation delves into the historical significance of Trump's victory, the ongoing struggle against entrenched political adversaries, and the future trajectory of American politics under Trump's leadership.
Roger Stone emphasizes the unprecedented nature of Trump's comeback, stating at [01:50] that "Trump's election in 2024 is the most significant comeback in American history." Unlike previous political figures such as Governor Nixon, Trump faced and overcame "the full force of the U.S. government," including attempts to "bankrupt him, keep him off the ballot, and incarcerate him" ([02:09]).
Stone draws parallels between Trump's achievement and past political realignments, comparing it to the significant shifts seen in 1932 and 1968. He explains that Trump's coalition mirrors the transformative New Deal Coalition, extending its reach to include "blacks, Hispanics, young people," and other demographics traditionally not aligned with the Republican Party ([02:49] – [05:11]).
A significant portion of the discussion centers on what Stone refers to as the "Deep State"—a network of entrenched government officials and agencies working against Trump's administration. Stone recounts historical instances of governmental overreach, such as the CIA's involvement in cocaine trafficking in Mena, Arkansas, during Bill Clinton's governorship ([05:41] – [07:00]). He further highlights contemporary issues, including alleged infiltration of Trump's campaign by FBI agents aiming to "fish for evidence against Trump or members of his staff" ([17:21]).
Stone vehemently criticizes the current Republican Party's corruption, describing many members as "corrupt rhinos who believe in nothing" except "money to get reelected" ([05:11]). He underscores the necessity of a "complete house cleaning" within the national security apparatus to eliminate these corrupt elements ([26:56]).
Posobiec and Stone outline key legislative priorities essential for Trump's agenda:
Extend Trump Tax Cuts: Stone asserts that renewing the Trump tax cuts is "absolutely essential" for propelling the economy forward ([13:22]).
Energy Policies: Emphasizing energy independence, Stone advocates for increased drilling for oil and gas, labeling it a "no brainer" ([13:22]).
Banning Pharmaceutical Advertising: Both hosts agree on the importance of banning pharmaceutical advertising, with Posobiec highlighting its dual benefits of reducing Big Pharma's influence and undermining mainstream media funding ([37:41] – [38:32]).
Addressing economic concerns, Stone expresses confidence in Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson's ability to "reduce our debt and reduce inflation" through radical supply-side measures ([27:25] – [27:30]). He praises Trump's negotiation tactics, particularly his stance on tariffs, describing him as "the best negotiator in the world" who leverages economic threats effectively to secure fair deals ([27:30] – [29:00]).
Stone warns of potential recessionary threats but remains optimistic that Trump's policies will stimulate economic growth ahead of the midterm elections ([26:24] – [29:00]).
The episode extensively covers foreign policy strategies under Trump:
Ukraine War: Stone believes Trump can effectively end the Ukraine conflict by bringing all parties to the table, contrasting with the current administration's inaction ([29:35] – [31:21]).
Sanctions on Iran: Advocating for stringent sanctions, Stone suggests cutting off Iran's cash flows to halt their financial activities ([29:35] – [29:44]).
China Relations: Trump is portrayed as a free trader who avoids unnecessary tariffs but is prepared to "clobber" trading partners who engage in unfair practices ([27:30] – [29:00]).
NATO and Russia: Stone criticizes the U.S. for violating the Budapest Memorandum and the Minsk Accords, arguing that Trump can negotiate a fair settlement to prevent further escalation ([32:07] – [34:17]).
A critical theme is the pursuit of justice against perceived political adversaries:
Prosecuting Former Officials: Stone calls for the prosecution of figures like James Clapper and John Brennan for their alleged misconduct and false testimonies ([14:16] – [21:29]).
Election Integrity: Emphasizing the importance of contesting fraudulent elections, Stone urges leaders to "object" to disputed results and ensure that no one is "above the law" ([09:01] – [10:33]).
The discussion highlights the detrimental impact of pharmaceutical advertising:
Stone underscores the fragility of the Republican majority in the House, emphasizing the necessity of winning upcoming special elections to maintain control ([09:02] – [10:17], [22:24] – [26:56]). He warns that losing the majority could hinder Trump's ability to implement his agenda and expose the administration to further "fake investigations" ([09:01] – [09:14]).
Both hosts share personal anecdotes to illustrate broader points. Posobiec reflects on his wife's unfamiliarity with the concept of food allergies, highlighting cultural differences and systemic issues in American health systems ([35:03] – [36:53]). Stone discusses his ongoing commitment to political activism through various media platforms, supporting candidates aligned with Trump's vision ([39:00] – [41:21]).
The episode concludes with a reinforcement of the need for comprehensive reforms to restore "greatness, peace, prosperity, security, and justice" in America ([37:41] – [41:21]). Stone reiterates the parallels between historical political scandals and current challenges, emphasizing that "the universe will always correct itself" through justice and accountability ([20:06] – [21:21]).

Roger Stone [02:09]: "He was fighting the full force of the U.S. government."
Roger Stone [05:11]: "The Republican Party is rife with corrupt rhinos who believe in nothing."
Roger Stone [13:22]: "The Trump tax cuts must be renewed. This may be the single most important thing we have to do in terms of moving the economy forward."
Roger Stone [27:30]: "Trump is really a free trader. He doesn't want to put tariffs on people. If you give us a fair deal, we won't throw tariffs on."
Jack Posobiec [37:41]: "Banning pharmaceutical advertising gives us a two birds with one stone situation because it takes away so much from the doctors and decimates cable news’s biggest sponsor."
Roger Stone [38:32]: "It makes no sense why we can't ban pharmaceutical advertising. Something that Trump must do."
