Eric Weighs In on the Trump-DeSantis-Roger Stone Drama
"Alvin, please ask the first question. All right, here we go. Disappointed with Roger Stone in his criticism of Ron DeSantis. Okay, that's not a sentence. I think it should be I am the person that says, I am disappointed with Roger Stone in his criticism of desantis. So I'm being critical of the person who wrote that question. I am disappointed with Roger Stone and his criticism of desantis. Okay, continue. I fully support Trump, but he started the criticism of desantis. Unfortunately, Trump is just not coachable. When Republicans can't support one another puzzles me, stone is wrong about desantis. What do you think Eric? Wow. Yeah. I think a lot about this quote about this subject. Listen, desantis is great, but let's be clear. I'm big on loyalty and Trump is huge on loyalty. Huge. And desantis never would have become governor of Florida, if not for Trump kind of carrying him over the line. That's a fact. So it seems to me because of his age, he ought to be more deferential to Trump and understand that he'll get his chance. This is Trump's time. The reason they're attacking Trump like this. Ladies and gentlemen, is there any doubt the deep state we talked a couple of days ago to a general Flynn? They are scared to death of Donald Trump. Why? Because Donald Trump represents we the people or actually grammatically, I think it would be he represents us the people. No, he represents we the people, and they're scared to death of him. Is Trump coachable? No. He doesn't seem very coachable. And that's the problem when you're as good and as successful and this is like a life lesson to all of us. When you're really great at something, you tend to just say it's worked for me up till now. So everybody shut up and let me do my thing.

"And you can go there as well. Right now, my substack is free. Although we would appreciate a subscription, ultimately I will close it down to subscription only. This is where I revealed in a recent piece, an audio tape of Richard Nixon telling the head of the CIA, look, he says, I know who shot John threatening about the CIA's involvement in the assassination of John Kennedy. I also wrote a piece at substack where I proved that Gerald Ford then a congressman, a member of the warring commission, takes a pencil and at the director of direction of FBI director jager Hoover, literally changes the depiction of the wound in Kennedy's upper back in the diagram in the autopsy to his lower neck and rear lower neck in order to accommodate the fake single bullet theory. I document all of this at my substack. I urge folks to check it out. I'm sorry, we missed you Saturday night. It was a small dinner to benefit my legal defense fund because if you heard this, but Hunter Biden's lawyers are now threatening to sue me because I've been discussing the contents of his laptop on my daily show. Stone zone dot live, which is every day at 5 o'clock eastern 4 o'clock central. And obviously, I don't intend to fold and stop talking about the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, which I believe were both obtained and published completely legally. But I'm heading into yet another fight and therefore I had to do a little dinner. We had stone burgers, which is the literally the best hamburger on the earth. And next time we do it, I'll give you advance notice. Well, I was there with you. Is it the beach cafe? I always beat your cafe. We need to give them a plug. The beach cafe in Manhattan. I think it's at 70 and like second avenue, something like that. I was there. When I was there, I had the stone burger named after you. And a martini. And I look forward to doing that again as soon as possible to beach cafe 70th and second, it's interesting that there are outposts of freedom, even here in Manhattan, we're going to keep you on for just a few more minutes. If you have the time, can we grab you for another four minutes? Sure. Folks hang on more with Roger Stone. We love. You. You can do what you feel. Folks are talking to our friend Roger Stone roger. You know that we're in a war for the west for freedom for America and there are very few people who get it. But I am persuaded that more people are getting it more people are waking up more Christians are waking up often goaded by non Christians who don't have theological blinders on and who can see simply see things as they are. It is my sense that Trump will be our next president, but we're in a war to get there. What is your sense of where we're going? We are most definitely in a spiritual war. As a political strategist, I normally look at a set of facts and data and research and come up with a strategy. My best strategy right now, giving the overwhelming power and force of those who oppose us, although no one is more powerful than the lord, is prayer. And people laugh at that, but I stopped laughing. My wife was diagnosed with stage four cancer shortly after president Trump pardoned me in the Russian collusion oaks. And the doctors didn't have out much hope. She had her latest test last Thursday, we got results Monday. She continues to now be almost two years cancer free. This is due to the healing power of Jesus Christ. It absolutely proves that prayer works and the more people praying, the better the prayer works. So we need spiritual guidance. We need intestinal fortitude. We need strength at this moment, but this is not a political battle. It's not a military battle. It's a spiritual battle. The president understands that. I understand that. And I think oddly enough, the change of ownership in Twitter, even though I'm not saying that everything Elon Musk has ever done, I agree with, but it has made a sea change in educating and waking millions of people up as to what is actually going on in this country in the last several years. Elon Musk restored my Twitter feed much to my shock and happiness and frankly, I'm grateful to him for it. I think he's done he's done well by me. Let's just hope he's not the Antichrist or anything bad. Now let me ask you a question. We've just got a couple of minutes barely. I don't believe Biden will finish out his term. I think that the corruption with him and hunter, it's coming out, even the mainstream media is beginning to cover it. I don't believe he will survive. I believe the Democrats want to throw them under the bus because they know he's done all the good quote unquote that he can do. What do you see happening with him and with the future prospects of the Democrats for the presidency? I basically agree with you. I think the other way I put it is that he's outlived his usefulness. If you saw him on Saint Patrick's Day saying, proof that I'm not really Irish, I'm sober, and I have no family members in jail. Well, Joe, you're just being a little premature, first of all. But secondarily, can you imagine what would happen if Donald Trump said something like that? People would be jumping out of windows. Well, it almost makes me like Biden that he would say something like that that he could get away with that. But let's just move on, yeah. I mean, I guess the point of this is that he is badly damaged and the worst the investigations into hunters activities, which are really Joe's activities. Joe took millions from foreign powers. Right. Are there children Joe Joe's family, Joe's benefactors are the Chinese. It's entirely provable. This is why Hunter Biden's lawyers are threatened to sue me because I say that to which I say bring it. I myself will cross the gym in hunter about his laptop contents. I will, I will ask him about every page here. But let's do it. Let's bring it. So I agree with you. I think that they will either remove him under the Twenty-fifth Amendment or they will just tell him that he can not run.

What Is Roger Stone Doing in New York?
"Back. I'm talking to Roger Stone, roger. I live in New York City, I do not mug people, but I do live in New York City. I think it's overstated about the crime. That's here. We don't need to get into that. All I'm trying to say is, I live here, you rarely visit here. You visited here. I was out of town. I was very upset by that. I wish I got more notice when you're going to be around. But tell us what were you doing in New York and did you say antifa was trying to attack you? So I was invited by the New York young Republican club, which is the oldest, largest and most vibrant and active young Republican club in the country. Former members, governor Thomas E Dewey, attorney general, Herbert brownell, governor Nelson Rockefeller, former vice president, Richard Nixon when he lived all associate members. Verily a John foster dulles an associate member. Very Augusta and storied history. It is a really a vibrant club of young people and they invited me to come in for a martini mixer. This is where I spoke about the history of the martini. I reveal Richard Nixon's own secret recipe for the silver bullet. And then I move behind the bar and with the assistance of three bartenders, I mixed and poured over almost 300 martinis. By the way, The Daily Beast said they were margaritas, just to show you how to actually yeah, they're not big on mixology or theology, but that's the only two things of which they're totally ignorant. But at least call themselves The Daily Beast, so it's right out there in front, you know exactly what they are. I think they're corporate slogan is 6, 6, 6, as a matter of fact. But in any event, so with the way this worked is you bought your ticket on eventbrite. And then roughly an hour before the event, the club would send you an email telling you the location of the event. Otherwise you have an almost guarantee of violence and other protesters. But the location of this event in Little Italy evidently leaked and there were so many bomb threats and death threats to the Italian restaurant where it was going to be held. That they canceled before hours noticed.

Roger Stone: 'Ron DeSantis Has Shown Himself'
"Love talking to you, roger. You're fun. But you're also such a truth teller. I got to ask you, it's always annoying to me to see it's annoying to me to see Ron DeSantis looking like he's going to run for president against Trump. But it's equally annoying to me that Trump is kind of taking the bait and doing the Trump thing and dumping on him. I think it hurts Trump. Where are you in the middle of this? Well, first of all, make a suggestion to you. I know things are tough there in New York. Maybe if you showed your books in the background when you did a show to kind of, you know, product placement to kind of suddenly push book sales. I've read your book letter to the American church. It's really a great book and everyone should order it immediately. Well, you know what? I will take that advice under consideration. My team doesn't want me to be too forceful in pushing my books because they don't believe in my books as strongly as you do. So thank you for saying that. Michelle bachman also also likes my books. Let me address your question, please. One of the advantages of everything is that Ron DeSantis has now shown himself in his attack yesterday on Donald Trump. What was the attack? He basically questioned his moral character, which is funny because the governor was not questioning Trump's moral character when Trump unilaterally endorsed him in a tweet, which turbocharged his campaign and elected him governor. He wasn't questioning Trump's moral judgment when Trump had to come back to Florida twice in the final two weeks of 2018 to drag Ron DeSantis across the finish line. She ranked attendance is not a likeable fellow. I think he's what you would call a cold fish. He wears ear buds to avoid human contact because he doesn't like to speak to people. He is a largely, I think, driven by his wife, correct me wrong. Wasn't it evil said to Adam bite that Apple? I think it was.

Roger Stone Posits Why the Case Against Trump May Be Unraveling
"I want to talk to you about everything. I want to talk to you about what's going on with president Trump. I want to talk to you about desantis. What do you want to talk about first? Well, I think the big news, Eric is what's going on in New York or maybe what isn't going on in New York because I think it's now unclear. It appeared that the Manhattan district attorney that is a county prosecutor was going to take up a case previously reviewed and rejected by 5 hostile federal prosecutors against Donald Trump, which supposedly surrounds theoretical at least payoffs to a porn star for her silence during the 2016 campaign. Donald Trump has already triumphed in a defamation suit centered around these exact same issues. The government's chief witness is a man named Michael Cohen, who has specifically denied that exact allegation he's making today both under oath in the defamation lawsuit and in a letter to the federal election commission signed by his attorneys. So the real question, I guess, would become, was he lying then, or is he lying now? The whole point, of course, is will Alvin Bragg, who is a George Soros funded prosecutor, elevate what even if accurate would be a misdemeanor to a felony in an effort to try to destroy the political prospects of Donald J Trump.

Should the Parthenon Marbles Be Returned to Greece?
"Number one for Eric. Do you believe the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum which Anna and I saw this in August should be returned to Greece? The Vatican are returning theirs, the answer is yes. You have to take these things in a case by case basis. But for people who don't understand what this is, when the Parthenon was built. This is one of the most magnificent. I mean, if you want to, it's kind of interesting. If you want to talk about how human beings don't change over the centuries. The idea that the ancient Greeks had the level of genius it took to create the Parthenon. If you've ever watched a documentary on it or read about it, it is absolutely astonishing. Absolutely. It really is, I won't go into it. But the crowning touch in a way literally was the sculptures on the pediment, they came to be known as the Elgin marbles. Now I actually write about this a little bit of my book as atheism dead. Because you can understand that 200 years ago agrees had fallen to the Turks, they really didn't have the ability to do anything about this. So when the British come in, they did this all over the, they did it all over the Middle East. They did it all over. You know, they were basically kind of like treasure seekers. And so they come to the Parthenon and they see these larger than life sculptures on the pediment and they think, hey, those would be nice to saw off and take home. There's no way I can do it justice in the time we have. But the point is they made a deal with the Turks, okay? Who were occupied? They were occupying Greece at the time. So it's like making a deal with the Nazis to steal Polish stuff, you know, while the Nazis are occupying Poland, like not right. So they took these marbles and again, I'm not doing it justice. These are some of the most magnificent sculptures in the history of the world. 25 centuries old. And they took them to the British Museum, where they are today. That has become a scandal. The world has changed Athens built a museum before they hosted the Olympics in Athens to house the marbles. They are now in a position to take care of them in a way that they hadn't been, so that's the shortest answer I can give.

Sean Spicer Weighs in on Trump's Looming Indictment
"A lot of us, when we see things like the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when we see things like the raid on Roger Stone's home, you think, are they crazy? Like, do they not understand what this looks like to your average American? So let me kind of walk through a couple of things. I keep hearing people talk about, you know, I can't believe they're doing this to a former president. And when I keep thinking about is the following. Donald Trump has means and access to a ton of money and resources and talent to help him. How many people don't? Right? That's number one. Number two, the folks that are watching you right now, they've got to have a friend or a colleague or a family member that hates Donald Trump. Everybody does. And just stop them when they do. And say to them the following, the charges that Trump potentially is being brought up on are from 2015, the statue of limitations have expired. They are a misdemeanor from 8 years ago that they are trying to couple with something else allegedly campaign finance violations for a federal office at the state level. Again, from 8 years ago, and that have been passed on by the federal election commission and the feds. And you tell me that that doesn't sound like weaponizing our justice system. And because the problem is is that I look at this and I say to myself, if you're sitting at home right now, how just think about what happens to the average person who doesn't have the means and access that somebody like president Trump has. And I think he says this all the time. They're coming after me because but you're next. And he's right.

Eric Welcomes FBI Veteran Thomas Baker
"Today is Thomas baker, a 33 year veteran of the FBI who has written a brand new book called the fall of the FBI, how a once great agency became a threat to democracy. It's a, it's a major thing for someone like you who obviously joined the FBI, what? Over 50 years ago to come to this very heartbreaking conclusion, Thomas, where did you grow up? It sounds like you grew up in the New York area. Well, you're right about that, Eric. I grew up in New York City. I joined the FBI in New York City at the young age of 21, so as I said at the beginning of this interview, essentially the FBI has been my entire adult life. And so there's nobody who could see better from the inside what we're talking about. You saw this happen. Do you think that there's hope for the FBI? Because the part of me that when I see these institutions, these three letter agencies weaponized and politicized, I want to say defund the FBI. In other words, the idea that these people charged with protecting Americans would become politicized and would, in many cases, become the enemies of patriots. What they did to Roger Stone, what they did to so many others, it's nothing less than despicable and horrifying and I, I don't know enough to know what one can do, but it is astonishing to me that that level of politicization could be happening. Where do you see, do you see hope that it could be depoliticized at this point? I am by my own nature, always an optimist. And that is why I wrote the book. And that's why I'm on shows like yours, talking about this urging the FBI to reform. I love the FBI. I would not personally advocate defunding it, although I realized that's a tool of constitutional tool that Congress has to bring about pressure.

"Roger, we're just really giving the outline. I want to have you back to go deeper because this is centrally important. To everything we're going through today, when you talked about Nixon just a moment ago, Nixon knew and you write about this in the book, Nixon knew that the official report of the Warren commission's report was nonsense. Nixon knew that and he had a good idea that LBJ was in fact behind the assassination. That's an amazing thing. That's a very amazing thing to think about. I think it's one of these important here is that people understand that I don't just make these claims with no basis. You can actually hear the audio tape by going to my substack, Roger Stone dot sub stack dot com. You can hear the audiotape of Richard Nixon threatening the CIA director. You can see The New York Times and The Associated Press stories written in 1997, which faithfully record the fact that congressman Gerald Ford altered the autopsy diagrams and description to cover up the fact that John Kennedy had been shot from the front and the back. So this isn't conjecture. This isn't some baseless conspiracy theory. I back up everything I say in my book. The books in New York Times Best Seller. I must tell you, it's interesting, Eric, because when I first wrote this book, 6 different publishers declined to publish it saying that it had no commercial appeal. And it has become kind of the standard work. There are several other great authors Phil Nelson has written a great two volume series on Lyndon Johnson's role in the assassination. A lawyer who actually worked for Johnson Barr mcclellan went before him and wrote a terrific book. So I stand on the shoulders of many other researchers and authors who have provided their own evidence and in all cases, of course, I accredit them appropriately in my book. But the shocking truth here is, the misdeeds of the CIA, the misdeeds of the FBI, they didn't start yesterday. They weren't just something that Elon Musk is just now uncovering. What I demonstrate is there has been a pattern of abuses by these agencies to suppress the truth regarding multiple issues by both agencies. They murdered John F. Kennedy, they removed Richard Nixon in a bloodless coup. Why? He reached a strategic arms limitation agreement with the Soviets. He ended the war in Vietnam. That was very profitable for some people. And he opened the door to China at the time that China was a backwards poor agrarian society. No way for Nixon to see that the clintons would later sell our most important military secrets to the Chinese. And then the bushes would give the most favored nation trading status, which makes them the dangerous superpower. They are today. Nixon's big sin, he was for peace, Eric. That's why he had to go. Likewise, it is with president Donald Trump. He wanted to withdraw our men from the endless foreign wars in the Middle East. He wanted a more peaceful existence with the Russians. He wanted to, oh my God, talk to the North Koreans. Can you think of such a thing? And therefore, he was an existential threat to the permanent war machine of the neocons who dominate both of our major parties. Now you see us shipping $100 billion plus to Ukraine in violation of a treaty we signed in 1994 between president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev in which we agreed never to push the Ukrainians into NATO. In other words, never to mount offensive missiles on the ground appointed at Russia. So we've got to pick that up after the break. In fact, folks, so we're going to do an ask metaxas in the next segment after that more with Roger Stone, lots to unpack lots to unpack. The book is the man who killed Kennedy by Roger Stone. Attention shoppers, we now have taste in the bread aisle. Dave's killer bread. That's right, an organic bread that's no longer a sedative for your taste buds.

"And again, it's hard to process in the same way that the evil that is being exposed today now in 2023. About, you know, you name it. It's hard to process on some level unless you're a political operative, like Roger Stone, who's been in this world. Most of us, you know, think, no, not in America. It couldn't go that deep. The actors couldn't be that evil. And so what fascinates me, roger, at least one of the things that fascinates me, is the parallels that if people see these things coming out now, then when you look at your book, the man who killed Kennedy realized, well folks, this has been going on all along. And on the one hand, that means back to the Garden of Eden because evil real evil has been here since the dawn of history. But in America, this kind of thing, these groups who amassed power and didn't really draw attention to themselves. They managed to say everything's fine. Don't look here. We're fine. It was just one guy. We was alone nut. It was whatever it was. It seems that now we're living in a moment when mainstream figures like Tucker Carlson are talking about these kinds of things that something good is happening. Talk just a little bit about that because I think when you were on his program last Friday, there's something very healthy to me that figures like Tucker Carlson are talking openly about what is happening. Well, the occasion there which kind of furthers this narrative is a long overlooked Watergate area audio tape of president Richard Nixon meeting with the head of the CIA, Richard helms. Now the timing is important. Nixon is increasingly mired in Watergate. He is desperately looking for leverage and a way out. And he meets with the CIA director, and he says to him, look, I know who shot John. And this could become a very vigorously debated issue, raised not by me, he says, but people are going to want to say, who was responsible was Johnson responsible was Eisenhower responsible was Nixon responsible, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, he says. So I just want you to know a dick that helms. That the agency's secrets are safe with me. I've done my share of the lying to cover up for things that had to be done. There you have it. Basically, president Nixon is threatening the head of the CIA for his coverage for his support in the Watergate scandal. And telling them, look, I know about the central intelligence involvement in the murder of Kevin. We're going to pick up right there. The book is the man who killed Kennedy. My guest is Roger Stone. Folks, I'm talking to my friend Roger Stone, who has a book titled the man who killed Kennedy the case against LBJ..

"Advisory services are offered through inspire advisers LLC, a registered investment adviser with the SEC. One thing that has to be said roger talking to Roger Stone about his book, the man who killed Kennedy, which is to say, Lyndon baines Johnson. One thing that needs to be said is that part of the reason we've never clearly gotten to the bottom of this is because it is undeniably complicated. That's what's so fascinating to me is that there's so many pieces and unless you take the trouble as you have done to look into each of these and to pull it together, it's much easier to just wave it away and say, well, we'll never know. It's complicated. Or to say, well, it was probably just a lone nut. It's much more difficult to get to the bottom of it. And of course, that's the genius, the evil genius of people like LBJ and Jay Edgar Hoover. These were brilliant people addicted to power. Who were willing to go the extra mile to do what they felt needed to be done. That's exactly right. I mean, look, Johnson doesn't exactly hide his motives at the 1960 democratic convention. He essentially blackmails his way onto the ticket. John Kennedy had already selected Stuart simington, the senator from Missouri for vice president. That is recorded in symington's memoirs, also in the memoirs of Clark Clifford, who had been the Secretary of Defense under Truman, was considered one of the wise men of the Kennedy administration. But when Carl pardon me when the Speaker of the House and Lyndon Johnson show up at the Kennedy hotel room in LA and they asked for a private audience in which Robert Kennedy is not present. Speaker Sam rayburn and LBJ pull out a brown Manila envelope and in it they have a photograph of John Kennedy in bed with a very attractive East German spy whose name is inga. And to Johnson is very blunt. He says, look, you need me on the ticket. You need Texas, which I can carry. That means steel. And by the way, if you don't want to do this, I just envelope will make its way to your opponent, dick Nixon. Now, the photographs had been supplied by Lyndon Johnson's next door neighbor, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover was facing mandatory retirement under federal law in 1964, so he also has an inherent interest in the disappearance of Kennedy. Also Hoover insists that there is no such thing as organized crime. Now, John Kennedy's father ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy has made a pact with the mob in which he basically shakes the mob down for a $1 million with a promise that if John Kennedy is elected president, the efforts by the Eisenhower administration to deport Carlos Marcello, the gangster who runs a mob in Texas and Louisiana who is, by the way, paying Lyndon Johnson in $1963 $5000 a month to protect his illegal gambling operations. And sinto trafficante, who's running the mob in Florida, and the deal is that Kennedy will drop the deportation efforts against both of them in return for not only the money, but the mobs assistance in twisting arms in both Illinois and Texas in the general election. Of course, after the election, ambassador Joseph Kennedy is struck by a stroke. He loses the capacity of speech. He's in no condition to enforce the deal. He's made with the mobsters and attorney general Robert Kennedy goes after Marcelo and trafficante and seeks to deport both of them. The mob reads this as a double cross. This is why they are involved in the plot. It also outlines their ties to Lyndon Johnson. The Batman, by the way, delivering payments to Johnson is a man named Jack halford. Halford would be convicted on some minor crime, unrelated to the bribes of Lyndon Johnson, but he would receive a full presidential pardon. On November 23rd, 1963, it's almost unbelievable..

"In the case of the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI, they are unhappy about Kennedy's handling of the bay of pigs fiasco. The bay of pigs was an invasion of Cuba in which the American government propped up Cuban dissidents to try to make it look like an indigenous Cuban uprising, the air support for the men storming the Cuban beaches at the bay of pigs, which was supposed to be 29 Panamanian flagged bombers flown by Cuban pilots out of Panama, was mysteriously canceled the day before the invasion. This was part of the invasion plan that Kennedy had approved. Then the generals and particularly Curtis Lemay, who led the air force, gave Kennedy the option of using American air power to save the invasion, Kennedy refused because it would have blown the plausible deniability he insisted on and of course the bay of pigs was an unmitigated disaster. They were also unhappy about his handling of the Cuban missile crisis. The mainstream media tells us that Jack Kennedy bravely backed Nikita Khrushchev down and khrushchev removed the missiles that he had placed 90 miles off our shore in Cuba. What the American people weren't told for 40 years, but which everyone in the military and the intelligence industry knew at the time was that Kennedy made a secret deal to remove our missiles, our NATO missiles from both Italy and turkey, changing the balance of power in the European theater in return for a pledge from Castro that did not include onsite inspections by either Castro or khrushchev to remove the missiles from Russia. So the intelligence agencies have their motive. Big Texas oil is upset because Kennedy wants to repeal the oil depletion allowance, which is going to cost them hundreds of millions of dollars more. Organized crime is upset. How are we running on? No, no, no, I was just going to say, we are going to go to break. But every one of these groups, including organized crime, had many, many reasons to despise Kennedy, the question is, would that lead them to be involved in murdering Kennedy? The answer is yes, and we will get into that when we come back with Roger Stone..

"I have to choose how I hey folks I'm talking about Roger Stone roger, you were in the middle of making the case about, I mean, again, just to frame this, the more you know about what happened, when you read books about this, there are endless questions, and I don't think anybody would accept the Warren commission report. It's just ridiculous. But you were making the case how Gerald Ford and this is what I find fascinating because we don't think of him as a particularly nefarious character. But he was willing to say it again because this was the point you were making. It's a good question, J. Edgar Hoover and other members of the warring commission. He alters the autopsy diagram, marked up by John Kennedy's doctor, admiral George Berkeley, changing the wound in the back of Kennedy's upper neck, pardon me upper back to the back of his neck, to the base of his neck, to accommodate the idea that there were only three bullets, and they were all shot from the rear. Again, the emergency room Doctor Who first attended president Kennedy when he arrived at Parkland hospital records an entry wound in Kennedy's throw, also a blowout wound in the left rear of his head. Both of these wounds essentially have been doctored by the time the body gets to Bethesda medical center because a tracheotomy has been performed. There's no way to determine whether the wound in Kennedy's throat is an entry wound or an exit wound, although it's pretty clear from both the zapruder film and from the physical evidence, including the photographs of Kennedy on this lab, the photographs of a shirt where you can see where the bullet entered his upper neck. That Gerald Ford changed the diagram. Now, this became declassified in 1997. It was reported by The Associated Press and The New York Times contacted in arrange a mirage where he was in retirement and asked why he made this material change Ford said, well, the country needed finality. Not the country needing truth. The country needed finality. Johnson was a master, by the way, of convincing others, including chief justice Earl Warren, who reluctantly headed the war in commission that the darker secret was that the Russians had killed Kennedy, no evidence of that. And then if the country knew that it would spark a World War, which is why we have to go with this cover story of Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shooting only from the rear. In fact, I think the substantial forensic evidence would indicate John Kennedy was shot from the front and the rear, there's far more than three bullets. There may be as many as 7 bullets, but to everybody here has their own motive. Johnson is already heard on the Grapevine that Robert Kennedy and John Kennedy are telling people that he will be dumped from the 1964 ticket. Evelyn Lincoln, whose John Kennedy's personal secretary says in her memoirs that on the flight to Dallas, JFK told her that Johnson would no longer be on the ticket, and he would be replaced by North Carolina senator governor later senator Terry Sanford. So Johnson is a man staring into the abyss. He's not only looking at political oblivion. He is looking at federal prison and Robert Kennedy's begun telling people like that..

"Folks welcome to the Eric metaxas show sponsored by legacy precious metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals, visit legacy p.m. investments dot com that's legacy p.m. investments dot com. Welcome to the Eric metaxas show. I shouldn't tell you this, but Eric hired someone who sounds just like him to host today's show, but since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you, don't be fooled. The real Eric's in jail. Folks, this is the erkman taxes show. Today, I'm playing the role of Eric metaxas, we couldn't get the real one. And I have as my guest, the real roger stone roger. Welcome to this program. Love to have you here. Eric, great to be back with you. Since we were together, you named me. I have to say this because this is the delight of my life. On every level, like it's funny to me and delightful. But you named me on your 2000 and 22 best dressed list. And I feel like I want to be dining off of that for the rest of my life. Well, you know, this is a tradition that I picked up from the late mister Blackwell. He was a Washington columnist, Bobby, who published a yearly list of the best and worst dressed people on the planet. And he did it for 48 years. When he passed away in 2008, I thought this was a great tradition, so I picked up that ball. I have now published a list for 14 years, 15th year coming up. The only year I didn't publish it was a year that I was gagged by a federal judge during the Mueller witch hunt in which I was unconstitutionally prohibited from saying anything on any program or on any platform in my own defense or about matters sartorial. So I did miss that year. But in all honesty, Eric, you deserved your position in the Pantheon. I mean, extraordinarily well turned out individual. And it's absolutely clear to me that you give no thought whatsoever to dressing. You just kind of throw things together and you great. But because I don't have time for anything but yes, I kind of wing it today, of course I'm not wearing a tie. But the funny thing is since you named me to this August list, I am self conscious. I'll walk into a restaurant and I think I hope nobody here today notices that I'm dressed this way or that way because they may be aware that Roger Stone named me to this tremendous list. In any event, we have to move on to less cheerful things, actually not really roger, because the truth ultimately, by definition, is hopeful and ultimately joyful, even if it's difficult..

Sean Davis: An Orchard of Rotten Apples at the FBI
"Sean I agree I mean what more evidence do we need at this point They clearly interfered and now multiple elections This is now probably the fourth one in a row I'd argue 2016 with the fake Russia scandal they leaked before the election they leaked it to New York mag then we had of course the midterms where they participated in the Mueller probe with Trump which they knew was based on a false premise And then the 2020 presidential they suppress information about Hunter Biden involved in this massive influence peddling scandal And now the last one where it's clear people in the Justice Department and elsewhere likely the FBI as well knew about this and let it go Pile that on top of the Roger Stone or the guy's like 80 years old the Roger Stone S.W.A.T. team Peter Navarro locked up in an airport even though he's cooperating I mean the list and the litany of the pro life scandal showing up in pro lifers homes The domestic terror I mean if you want it on to parents domestic terrorist scandal This is a really really dangerous institution It's not miss fees in anymore It's malfeasance That's exactly right If they do at once it's a problem But the problem is it happens over and over and over and over again in the examples you came for just examples in the last 6 years and nothing like that No one goes to prison We're told to rank and file are good and don't worry it's just one bad Apple I'm sorry I'm looking at a tire Orchard of rotten apples right now And the problem is not that one of them just happened to fall down and bonk someone on the head The whole thing is rotten and it seems organized and arrayed and existing just to do things on behalf of the ruling regime that no agency on this country should be allowed to do

"Miracles are entirely possible. I've just pointed out 5 of them. Well, listen, when I came to faith in 1988, my faith was not fully realized as we all know you come to faith, and then it takes time, in a sense, God sanctifies us. And so we're on this journey. We cross the starting line when we get saved to use the term, right? We cross the starting line. So some months after I came to faith, I still, and I cringe to think of it, pull the lever for Mike dukakis. But the good news is that when I came to faith, I instantly was surrounded by people. Who lived in the miraculous. And so I've experienced many miracles I've written about some of them. I've spoken about some of them I wrote a book about miracles, but I think it's important to say to people who say, oh, I'm a Christian. Folks, God wants you to walk in the miraculous. He wants you to walk closely with him. He wants you to see that he is alive. This is not just an intellectual thing that it's like shifting over to, oh, I'm a libertarian now, and I used to be a liberal. You know, it's a little bit more fundamental than that. Well, here are the two hardest things about faith. One is the freedom from fear. If you're staring at 7 to 9 years for allegedly lying under oath to Congress, which is rather disproportionate, and you gone through what I've been through, it's very hard to not wake up in the middle of the night. I think it's all going to happen all over again. You read the January 6th committee is investigating you, even though you know you've done nothing wrong, I didn't do anything wrong in the first time, and they still fabricated crimes that I allegedly was guilty of. And only through absolute faith, can you abandon that fear? The other great challenge, frankly, is to realize that vengeance is reserved for the lord. As someone who's half Sicilian, the old Roger Stone would want revenge on a long list of characters. Many of them in the media might add. But today, I have forgiven them all. There's one guy testified falsely at my trial perjured himself at my trial. He's quite prominent. I was very angry about it for a long time. I was very bitter. Today, I've forgiven him. It's not the easiest thing to do. So once you realize that the bad guys will get theirs, but it's not up to you to make that judgment or deliver that punishment. And that the lord will take care of that, then you can download all that bitterness and all that anger and all that revenge lust. That's been one of the hardest things, but I've achieved it. It's frightening to think that the God of the Bible is even more Sicilian. Than you are, it's a frightening thing. He invented Sicily, ladies and gentlemen, keep that in mind. Well, listen, what you say, again, if somebody doesn't understand these things, you know, you just talked about forgiving the unforgivable because God commands you to do it. When you actually do that, you realize, well, God must be alive in me because I know I couldn't do this in the natural. I couldn't do it. It doesn't make any sense. But God gives you the ability to do that and to trust in him. And when you talk about the fear thing, you know, one of the reasons I'm always yapping about my faith is because I say to people, you don't understand how wonderful it is to know that God is real and that you don't need to live in fear, that he is bigger than anything that comes against you. He can do anything, and even if he allows you to go to prison or allows you, he will walk with you. He created us to live that way. It's not like extra credit, Christianity that's like the most basic thing. And so so many people miss that. They don't live that way. And I want to say to them, you're missing it folks. This is the only way to fly. I put it another way. You know, it keeps me going. The knowledge that some day I will live in heaven with my parents and my wife and every one of my dogs. That's what keeps me going. Knowing that at the end of the day, it all has a happy ending in him. All you have to do is keep the faith. And therefore, in those moments when you are depressed or angry or frustrated or worst of all, fearful, that's the thing to remember..

"It was also a gigantic mistake because I'm not the most sympathetic fellow in the world. I'm a hard boiled political operative. My life has changed a great deal since then, but I'm still not a sweetheart, you know? I'm not a pushover, but they made me a sympathetic figure by the manner in which they arrested me. I would have turned myself in. And had I done so I would not have raised a penny for my legal defense. Look, I lost my home, my car, my savings, my insurance, and my livelihood, because for 18 months I wasn't allowed to come on a program like this and talk. On any subject, sartorial culinary or otherwise. So overnight, they gave me the resources I needed to fight this evil. And they brought attention to these bully tactics, which I think the American people do not like. And by the way, that's what I perceive is happening. In other words, that the left, the deep state, the authoritarians, they are unhinged, and they are acting in such a way. They are overacting overreacting in such a way to reveal their evil. We'll be right back talking to Roger Stone. Tell me why relief factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night, I was asked that question, well, the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more. I'm one of them go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed and when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes leaving the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement, no matter what happens, you own your gold. It is real, it is physical, it's always been valuable since the dawn of time, legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold.

Roger Stone Shares His Weightlifting Tips
"I lift weights on occasion, and I know that you have for quite some time. What got you interested in weightlifting and bodybuilding? Well, there's no point in having great clothing if you don't look good in it. And you can't look good in it if you're not fit. Also you just you feel better. I mean, you have to eat right. You have to drink in moderation if you drink at all. But you need to work out and you need to work out as I found out the hard way in a way in which you don't injure yourself. A lot of people think that lifting weights is about how much weight you can lift, which is not at all what it's about. It's about lifting enough weight so that it is challenging. Therefore, tearing the muscle so the muscle can regenerate slightly. But it's not about hurting yourself. So I see people in the gym all the time, men in the women in the gym, lifting more weight than they can move. And all they're doing is risking permanent injury and they won't be able to lift weights at all. Take your shoulder, for example. Your shoulders held in place by a socket. There's no, there's nothing hard, there's no bone holding this in. This is all held together by soft tissue, dislocate your shoulder once, and you'll remember it forever. And if you dislocate it three times, as I have done, and you don't rehab it properly, you'll never be able to raise your arms above this plane. So lifting weight is about fitness, fitness is about feeling good and looking good at about overall health when you are fit, you feel better and you have more energy. And it's not just working out. You can't eat like a pig and drink a lot and work out and expect to improve. Diet and exercise or tied together, and then you need a plan. You really need and there are a lot of good books written about this, but you need to die. You need a basic exercise plan. Some people, I think you're in this group going and do everybody part. On the same day, and then rest, and then return to the gym. That can work. But you have to be very religious about it. Other people do one body part a day, combining biceps and triceps or combining back and biceps and chest and triceps. Chest and biceps. That can work as well. But you need to have a plan and you stick to the plan.

Roger Stone Needs a Cape!
"We're talking about capes. No, not the cape of good hope. We're talking about actual capes and Inverness cape, that kind of cape, the cape, the kind of cape that men used to wear and that people like, for example, FDR wore at yalta. So you are actually Roger Stone looking for that particular cake. I have found that cape and it's very heavy. And I have a speech coming up in Nashville in January where I'm told it's going to be very cold. So I'm going to have my first opportunity over a suit, of course, to where my cape. Now, some people may think, you know, as some say, well, he looks like a Batman villain. I don't really care what they think. I think it's going to look great. I have a very good friend of mine, pastor Randy coggins, who is a very, very dynamic preacher. He dances, he sings, he claps, he moves, kind of like James Brown. And I keep kidding. I said, you know what you need for your whole act? You need a cape. This is like a running joke. When you get a cape, but you do the whole thing like James Brown did with the cape. Honestly, I think a cape for me might be a bridge too far, nor will I wear a Hamburg, at least not soon, maybe at some point. To my trial. And some jerk with The Daily Beast kept saying, mister stone, why are you wearing a Derby? I said, no, I'm not avoid comedian. You idiot. This is a Hamburg.

What Happened to Dressing With Dignity? Roger Stone and Eric Discuss
"Know there was a time when we were kids, doctors dressed like doctors. Now, they kind of wear scrubs or it's almost like we've all decided that we're going to go in this radical egalitarian direction. I just want to kind of look like a schlub because that's communicating solidarity with who I'm treating. To a certain extent, doctors dress the way they did purposely to connote authority. That's what I'm saying. So today, for example, you can go to a chiropractor and he'll be wearing a white jacket. That's to give you the idea that he knows what he's doing. Well, no, but I'm saying those who do that. Those who still do that, I applaud them, but they get it. But many of them don't. And so, you know, you see doctors and nurses, you know, they're wearing clogs and scrubs. And they used to, look, the reason they don't dress the way they used to is because authority has become a dirty word, hierarchy. I'm a doctor. You are not. We're not allowed to Dr. No test to say that anymore. The idea that there's a difference between how children dress and how their parents dress. When you look and again, it has nothing to do with money because when you look at photos, whether it's the 40s or the 50s or before, the poorest people dressed with tremendous dignity.

Kyle Seraphin: The Malice in 'Go Along to Get Along' Mentality
"You talked about this kind of go along to get along mentality And I want to be clear and Kyle knows this as well This is not limited to the FBI It's a problem in a lot of law enforcement These and I wish you weren't But that we tend to attribute a lot to malice what can be attributed to pure ignorance that you send a guy to go do a raid on some political guy and the natural assumption is that the bureau agents must have been politically motivated Now I have no doubt that people at the top are politically motivated in many cases but you are making a point that some of these you're not excusing any behavior I want to be clear You were there You saw that some of these guys these rank and 5 guys they just get a search warrant with a name and another They don't even know where the guy is They're like okay whatever But that's kind of an important point because it pinpoints where the real problem is at the top Not as much at the bottom Yeah sure I mean you got to figure that when I'm talking to people that don't actually even know they don't even know about the Hunter Biden laptop story this year They were out at Roger Stone's house They don't know who Roger Stone is Like they don't follow the news They may not know any of these things They may not know Scott Perry or anything else It's a guy that they said you're going to go serve a search warrant on You're going to go do an arrest warrant whatever that may be It is very probable that a lot of the agents that were involved in that found out who that person was or what their relevance was to the national conversation after the fact I would be not surprised at all to learn that Now not everybody follows the news the way that your listeners are they don't fall in the way that you and I do And I believe that you have sort of a responsibility as a federal agent that your job is federal That means it's natural You got to know what's going on But there's a ton of people that are happy to just bury their head and do the job and it's like look I just investigate drug crime and I don't care what else is going on So there's plenty of people in the bureau that probably have no idea other than they're getting some pushback when they go to interview somebody and there's plenty of bubbles out there that have a lot more awareness of what's going on in national politics than your federal agents do which is scary

"And it's true, it's actually true. We'll be right back talking to Roger Stone. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the house happiest season of all with those holiday greetings and gay happiness. As well crowned and said, hum and a hammer hammer. I'm talking to Roger Stone, roger, we're talking about faith, we're talking about your story. And right now you were reinstated on Twitter. Clearly, I never had as many followers as you by a long shot. But I was clearly being suppressed on Twitter. It was obvious like around January 6th, 2021, I lost 25,000 followers, which was like 25% of my vote. And it never went up again. It was the most bizarre thing. Never went up again. And then some months ago, something changed. I think when Elon Musk was talking about something changed and I was able to sort of accrue followers again, but to see what has happened. I mean, we talked about the despicable FBI, the militarized government agencies, the collusion with big tech. I mean, you and I know we're facing authoritarian evil that we've never seen in this country, frankly. And what is your sense of where we're going? Do you have hope? Well, first of all, we can never succeed without the ability to communicate. If you can not communicate to each other and everyone else, then you can never galvanize or mobilize the people on the side of right, which is why they seek to control all communications. Donald Trump could never have been elected in 2016 without a free, fair, unfettered Internet. Because network television was against him, cable television came around. This idea that Fox created Trump. No, Trump created Fox. Fox covered Trump because when they put him on their rating zord, when their ratings were, they could charge more for advertising, so that was an economic decision. And by the way, they tried Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz first and those pigs those dogs wouldn't hunt as they say. So they made an economic decision. And the networks built Trump up and the prior to the nomination only to try to tear him down once he was nominated. They made the mistake that Jimmy Carter made. Jimmy Carter actually wanted to run against Ronald Reagan. That guy will be a pushover Hamilton Jordan wrote. Oh yeah? So communications is the key to everything. And now you're going to be able to go to Twitter and you're going to be able to pull down your file based on what Elon Musk announced yesterday and you're going to be able to look at the actual evidence of the fact that they were shadow banning you and how they did it. So I gained a 125,000 followers in the last 24 hours. I'm choosing my words very carefully. But I'm gratified to be back, there are other great platforms, by the way. I like true social, even though it's self limiting when you're when you're a platform for conservatives or Trump supporters or Christians, well then anybody who is not those things is not going to go there unless they're going there to harass you and there's some of that. Gab is the wild wild west, you have to be you have to really believe in free speech. In other words, the whole point of the First Amendment is to protect speech that you and I might find really repugnant and disgusting and obnoxious. But people have a right to say those things, if you really believe in the First Amendment, I also like telegram, I'm not a big fan of getter. But frankly, it's better to communicate with somebody than to communicate with nobody. And I'm very gratified and very grateful to Elon Musk. And I did pray about this. I filled out a form and I prayed. That's how I got back on. People say, well, you must have lobby. You must have pulled snow. I filled out a form, and I prayed about it. And it happened. That's how it happened. Well, I'm glad that it happened. My radio program, the Eric metaxa show, which we had on YouTube was completely wiped off of YouTube, huge hit to us financially and in other ways. And so Elon Musk and Twitter gives me hope that some of what has happened is coming to light that we're going to see more and more truth coming out..

Roger Stone Has Had a Genuine Life Transformation
"Talking to roger, stone. Roger. I like you. And I want you to know that and I've enjoyed talking to you and really nothing blesses me more. Then when I find that someone has genuinely come to faith because, you know, there are a lot of people that claim to be Christians and then you dig a little deeper and you realize, well, I don't know. They clearly have not met the living God and they don't get it in the way that God wants them to get it. After a few conversations, it became very clear to me that you have had genuine life transformation. You take this seriously, you you've been through all kinds of hell, not least, your wife dealing with cancer. Yeah, I think that's a PTSD from two and a half years of a struggle with the full force of the federal government. And it almost immediately after my pardon, she was diagnosed with very aggressive stage four cancer. And today I'm happy to tell you through the healing power of Jesus Christ. She's now 19 months cancer free. I mean, that is a big deal because I remember talking to you way back when this first happened. And, you know, again, if you claim to be a Christian, you have to believe in actual miracles. It doesn't mean that God does them whenever we want. But he does them. And you and your wife have experienced this. Like genuinely one of the doctors told us this was not possible. I mean, they actually, which you would back in to be retested after the course of treatment, which she chose, they said, well, there's something wrong here. There's no cancer. We must have mixed your test up with somebody else's. They actually said that. I love this kind of stuff. This is why we're doing this on a miracle Monday ladies and gentlemen. Because these stories need to be told.

You've got to come into the beautiful studio and try to wear something nice. And thank you for wearing something nice. I had to think about it a lot, but. Well, I was intimidated this morning.

It's an Italian word that connotes that you didn't think at all about what you're wearing. You're through it together. And it happened to look great. Look, look, there's buttons missing. I mean, what a mess. It's a little too much spitzer. But honestly, there's so many things I want to talk to you about, but let's just go back here. So you have been persecuted by Mueller, what a bum. I have to tell you these people, I just blows my mind that they have been allowed to have the power that they have had. You mentioned his deputy who would not be, you said, prosecuted for what he did. You just don't think there's any chance for any kind of justice for the iceberg in terms of we're talking about Andrew weissman in terms of the illegal activities that he was involved in. The erasing of the cell phone memories of all of the Mueller prosecutors when they're under subpoena by John Durham, for example. Now, if I have raced a single email, believe me, that would have been yet another criminal charge against me. So we have a two tiered justice system, but and you see no hope for that? Well, with Jesus all things are possible. I really think at this point, as a strategist, I've always had a strategy as to how things will work out. I must honestly tell you that I don't have a strategy right now. We're on God's plan. And God's plan gets revealed to you, not all at the same time. But when God's ready to reveal it to you. And therefore, every single day, I say things to myself, well, Eric metaxas wants me to do his radio show. Once we do a show, is that a good yes, that's something you should go do. Because one of the things the lord has told me to do is speak and that's what I'm doing.

"So that they're there to capture all of the action. In other words, I was arrested at 6 O 6 a.m.. They marched my wife out of the house in her bedclothes, made her stand in the middle of the road in her bare feet to make sure we got good camera shots of all that. At 6 11, a producer from CNN texts my lawyer to tell him that I've been arrested. He doesn't know that yet. She then subsequently texts him my sealed criminal indictment, which isn't unsealed by a federal magistrate until 9 30 that morning. This is at 6 12 in the morning. And there are no annotations or court markings on this document, but when you look at the metadata tags, you have the initials of the man who wrote it, Andrew weissman, Mueller's deputy. Therefore, there is the proof that he leaked it. How else did she get it? By the way, that's a felony in itself for which of course he will never be prosecuted. So the whole idea was to create this media circus, not only the pressure May or humiliate me and my wife, that failed, by the way. But also as a warning to others that you needed to cooperate and roll over when we pressure you. It was also a gigantic mistake because I'm not the most sympathetic fellow in the world. I'm a hard boiled political operative. My life has changed a great deal since then, but I'm still not a sweetheart, you know? I'm not a pushover, but they made me a sympathetic figure by the manner in which they arrested me. I would have turned myself in. And had I done so I would not have raised a penny for my legal defense. Look, I lost my home, my car, my savings, my insurance, and my livelihood, because for 18 months I wasn't allowed to come on a program like this and talk. On any subject, sartorial culinary or otherwise. So overnight, they gave me the resources I needed to fight this evil. And they brought attention to these bully tactics, which I think the American people do not like. And by the way, that's what I perceive is happening. In other words, that the left, the deep state, the authoritarians, they are unhinged, and they are acting in such a way. They are overacting overreacting in such a way to reveal their evil. We'll be right back talking to Roger Stone..

"It's net based. Stone zone dot live. To watch my show, or you can follow my website, stone zone, dot com where I write and post videos and so on. You can also get your iconic Roger Stone did nothing wrong T-shirt there, if you'd like. Or any of my books. See the reason you're a delight to me. One of the reasons is that you, you are, you're kind of an inveterate prankster, jokester. I mean, you know, the shirt that says Roger Stone did nothing wrong. You like to play with the media. You like to tease them and provoke them in a way that I find delicious. Well, in all fairness, I think many Americans know that I was framed by Robert Mueller. It was alleged that I lied to Congress under oath about Russian collusion. Eric, how's that possible? How did one lie about something that we now know definitively didn't happen? The purpose of my criminal indictment on 8 counts was to pressure me into bearing false witness against Donald Trump, which I refuse to do. It was during that period that I produced the Roger Stone did nothing wrong T-shirt. And I sold them to raise money for my legal defense fund. Today, you can go to my website and get your very own signed copy of my unconditional presidential pardon, a great gift for Christmas. You never laugh at your own jokes, Roger Stone, and I resent you for that. You really should. Let's see. The headline, I want to cover a number of things that we have in common. Christian faith, which is something that's fairly new to you in your life. Indeed. And which is real, and I know that because we've talked, I want to talk about clothing, so we'll have a sartorial moment or two on the program. I want to talk about weightlifting. I want to talk about the demonic portal over The White House. I pretty much want to talk about everything. So but let's go back to your more recent trials. You went through hell. You had the we did talk about this on the program. You had the FBI come to your home, what is this? Two and a half years ago, three years ago. 6 o'clock in the morning, 29 heavily armed FBI. 29. With they arrived in 17 armored vehicles. There was a government helicopter overhead. I lived on a canal at that time. So two amphibious units from the FBI pop so they completely surround that in Florida in Florida. They are all brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons to arrest then 68 year old man with no previous record for the white collar crime of allegedly lying to Congress. Scared the hell out of my dogs I might add and didn't do much for my wife, either. But it's about intimidation, I mean, they had the special counsel's office, had been in touch with my attorneys, the previous day, we had just turned over 90 pages of text messages that proved my innocence, and they could have said, oh, by the way, we're going to charge your client. So bring him in, which is the way it's normally done. But instead, they did this stunning rate. So Robert Mueller chose to have this done. Well, or his underling most likely Andrew weissman, it's a terror tactic. First of all, look, it's meant to pressure you into testifying the way they want you to. Okay, look, but I always have to annotate and editorialize. This is as despicable as it gets. This is as vile as it gets in the United States of America to send 29 FBI people armed with guns, amphibious units, 17 vehicles. This is so despicable that if you are not astonished and horrified by this folks, you are dead, you are dead inside. If you are not sickened that this would happen in the United States, America, to someone who, whom we know, not only to be innocent, but to be in the right. I mean, here you are trying to do the right thing by your country. The right thing by yourself and your wife, and you're treated this way. I just think we have to we have to reserve the time to allow ourselves to be astonished and sick and we can't just say, well, that's the way things are now and well, and the worst part about it, of course, is the tip off to CNN..

Trump Was the First President to Do What He Promised He Would Do
"Find it funny because they are, they are right to be scared to death of the reemergence of Donald Trump. They are right because whatever game they've been playing is being exposed and he will do his best to expose it. I simply don't think that there's anybody who has the talent, the sheer talent that he does, but let's talk about character. You said Trump said, when he was running, he's going to do this. And this and this and this and everybody assumed no he's not. And he actually did. And it's the first time in my life. I assume in yours that a politician said he was going to do things and then blew everyone's minds by actually doing it. Doing what you say you're going to do is a character issue. And I'm astonished that he doesn't get more credit for that. Well, because his stubbornness is both his greatest asset and also his greatest vulnerability. Yeah. So it depends on whether you're looking at it as the glass being half full or half empty. When it comes to policy, it's a huge asset. He actually does what he says he's going to do. No, we're not raising taxes. Also true of Reagan. As soon as Reagan got elected, they said, you realize we can't really cut taxes. I don't know, we're doing three year tax cut. No, but you understand we can't really do it. But of course he did. He insisted upon it. It was his successor, George Bush who said, read my lips, no new taxes, and then immediately, upon election, raised taxes. The functional end of reaganism actually, right then and there.

Roger Stone Tells Us a Bit About Himself
"In the TBN studio with a really special guest, someone I feel privileged to call friend. His name is Roger Stone. We're on your welcome. Great to be here. Now, there are many people that know you and love you. There are some people that know you and hate you. Many people, more people who don't know of you who aren't sufficiently politically involved to know who you are, to me, you were a legendary figure, you worked with Richard Nixon when you were very young, how would, I mean, for someone who really doesn't know you, which will be many people in my audience unless they saw you on the program the last time. But how do you describe yourself these days? Well, yes, I'm veteran Republican strategist. I've worked for 12 national presidential campaigns. Yes, I started with Richard Nixon, worked three campaigns for Ronald Reagan, 1976, 1980 and 1984. Worked for George H. W. Bush was kind of drafted into that. I'm not a bush. Was he a Republican, by the way? Barely. Yeah. He was kind of a crony capitalist. He was kind of like a Mitt Romney Republican, so like right on the edge. Kristen sinema. Up until the time he got nominated, of course, he was a Reagan Republican, and then once elected president, he proved to be a rhino. He tacked Stalin word. Not that there's anything wrong with that. You know, it's a big tent. It's a big tent, man. So, and then of course, probably one of the first people in the country is to suggest to Donald Trump that he should run for president. Now, wait a minute, I didn't know that. 1988, we made a famous trip to New Hampshire. We're sitting in his office one day. I met him in 1979, Trump this is. When I was working for governor Reagan, I went to Trump's office to try to recruit him for Reagan's finance committee. I was successful, by the way, both Fred and his son, Donald Trump, were on our finance committee. We became very good friends. And then in 1988, it was visiting him and he was leafing through The New York Times, and he said, George Bush, and Michael Dukakis. There has to be somebody better. There

"Break. We're going to let Roger Stone begin and end that sentence in a moment. Don't go away. And so I am offering this simple phrase tell me why relief factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night I was asked that question, well, the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed and when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes leaving the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement, no matter what happens, you own your gold. It is real. It is physical. It's always been valuable since the dawn of time. Legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold. They can help you roll your retirement account into a gold backed IRA where you still own the physical gold. They can also ship gold and precious metals safely and securely to your house called legacy at 8 6 6 5 two 8 1903 or visit them online at legacy p.m. investments dot com. Welcome back talking to Roger Stone roger, you were just going to make a point, go ahead. Yeah, you were saying in your correct that the old rules are kind of canceled. And you're absolutely right. So before Donald Trump, all of your presidents were either senators, governors or generals. Here's your first business person to become president. And therefore, the fact that past presidents have tried to make a comeback and failed doesn't mean that Trump will necessarily fail. In fact, as I pointed out, one president Cleveland was successful when doing so. Trump still has the largest subsection of the Republican grassroots primary electorate. And I think he's got a hard lock on 40% of the vote. They're not going to defeat him for this nomination. If he wants any clearly wants it, we were both in the room when he announced it. He's taking a beating in the press, most of it generated by the party bosses and the other elites in the media who are aligned with them, who absolutely fear his comeback. So I think he drops back now to be the 2015 2016 Trump. Trump, the outsider, mister president, no congressman or endorsing you..

"But anyway, okay, so speaking of Christmas, before we get to Roger Stone, we have the gettys are having their Christmas concert, Carnegie Hall, here in Manhattan. That's this Thursday, Ricky skaggs is going to be there. This is next. Thursday. So he's going to be in the studio here on Thursday. The famous Ricky skaggs. I really can't believe that he's going to be here, but he's going to be here this Thursday. It's this really this Thursday. I don't believe it. Okay. So that's happening. And but I keep saying speaking of Christmas, Christmas gifts, all right? I've been thrown this out there. I put this out on Twitter. And we said it on this program. The greatest Christmas gift, and you know this is true, okay? You can go to all our websites and you can buy stuff from my pillow dot com and my store dot com use the code Eric, all of my books are there. You can go to metaxas talk dot com. There's all radio stuff. You can get Eric metaxas show mugs, blah, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. But I think without any question the most meaningful Christmas gift, you could ever get for anybody is to say to them, I have freed a slave in your name. When we think folks that in sedan, there are Christians who have been enslaved by fulani tribesmen, these are radical Muslims who believe in slavery and are exercising their beliefs in Africa. Imagine the irony black Africans enslaving other black Africans because of their Christian faith. It's happening today. Well, if you're any kind of a Christian or anybody with any soul, you know that slavery is evil. And you can free a slave, it's $250 now if you want to give $50, then you're contributing toward the freedom of a slave. But to free a slave, $250 is CSI that's who we're partnering with. I don't know if we have the phone number album. But I have the phone number right here. Well, no, but not yet, but I was gonna say, but so just so you know folks. This is some of these folks have been enslaved most of their lives. So this is very heavy stuff. But I keep thinking, but we get to do something about it. So if you go to our radio website, it's metaxas talk dot com metaxas talk dot com. You'll see the banner right at the top. And you can donate whatever you like, but if you can donate $250 that frees a slave, now to say to someone to your grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and mother father, whoever, that, for Christmas, you could print it out from the computer. You could say we free to slave in your name. Now, $250 doesn't just enable CSI to buy the freedom. They kind of barter it. They don't buy, they barter it. It's a long story. But we'll talk to Kevin McCullough about it this week. But they do that. Then they set them up in a life of freedom. So they give them all that they need to be set up. They're not just freed and now you're on your own. They help them to get set up. So the $250 liberates them and then sets them up in a life of freedom. So I want to say from the bottom of my heart, I can't think of anything more beautiful to do as a Christmas gift. Even if it's just $50 or $25, whatever you can give to say we did this to teach your kids that this is happening in the world. So here's the phone number, but it's metaxas talk dot com. If you want to call 8 8 8 two 5 three three 5 22, please call 8 8 8 two 5 three three 5 22 again, 8 8 8 two 5 three three 5 22. The world is so long tell me why relief factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain..

"So he's really hated. But we'll talk with him. Okay, now a couple of things, my goodness, a lot to cover. First of all, so I was with roger on Friday night. There was this gathering at the beach cafe. It's on 70th street and second avenue. And I live on the upper east side and I did not know about this place. And it is evidently a fabled conservative hangout. But I didn't even know about it, which just tells you something about me and the world we live in. But anyway, so I went there on Friday night and roger showed up with a different outfit than he had earlier that day. I also changed my outfit. I wore my domenico spano suit and just impressed roger. And it was just an extraordinary thing Miranda Devine who writes for the New York Post and who has been exposing the Hunter Biden laptop stuff, you know, since the beginning, she was there. So it was really, it was absolutely fascinating. But at the beach cafe, they have a burger named after Roger Stone. It's the stone burger. It's a burger with a fried egg on top. And I want to tell you, I'm not kidding. If I ever want a burger in New York City, I'm going back to the beach cafe, which means I'm going back to the beach cafe. It is just about the best burger. I don't know why, but it was that good. And I said, I'm coming back to the beach cafe. And well, the owner, it's just kind of a legendary place. So I looked it up online, it was interesting. But it was the whole thing was just nuts, lots of people there. Wearing maga hats in Manhattan. Wow. I mean, it was a little crazy. So anyway, that was the next day, my daughter and I did our annual, we get a Christmas tree together. And this year, we always get a tree. They're so expensive that we always get a tree. I think I just want to get it a little smaller than the biggest size because but this year I just thought, oh, you know, every year we got to so I got a 9 and a half foot tree. Oh wow. But the key is because I'm a manly man. When we would get it from 15 blocks away, I would have them deliver it. But this was like 5 blocks. So I felt like I think I need to put it on my shoulder and deliver it myself. But it was genuinely shockingly heavy, even to me. But 9 and a half feet. Do you have ten foot high ceilings? Or did you get donated to the lobby? No, yeah. Our ceilings have to, it's a pre war building. So it's got to be about that, right? But it was so heavy to put it on my shoulder to balance it. And I kind of like barely made it. If it had been another three blocks, I would have had to. But I put post, I put pictures, I posted pictures on my Instagram. So if you don't follow me on Instagram, if you're on Instagram, follow me at Eric my taxes, because that kind of wacky stuff, obviously you can't put it on the radio show. Sometimes we'll share it in the newsletter, so I tell everybody go to Eric with taxes, dot com, sign up for the newsletter. Please. But I put them on Instagram and you're not going to believe it when you see it, you're going to go like, what the heck was he? And people were looking at me like shoppers, holding your bag, like looking at this guy, because the tree is way bigger than I am, of course. So it looked a little bit like a cartoon. But anyway, delivered the tree, put the lights on the tree, decorated the tree. I'll even post pictures of the tree on Instagram because it's just such a beautiful moment in a home when you say now we're going to start Christmas. That's great. That's a great father daughter thing to do though. It was. It was. Androids can help me carry the tree. It's like way too big for two people. It's just too bizarre. You couldn't even balance it. It was better to just better to crush my shoulder..
