Time Text
Welcome back, Infowarriors.
We're going to close up the last 30-minute segment.
We've got another great guest coming.
But before we go into our next interview, I want to encourage everybody to go check out my band.video page, The Adam King Show, and subscribe.
Check out some of the interviews and more extended stuff that we do with everybody.
Joining us now is no stranger to Infowars or The Adam King Show, legend in his own right, leading the fight against the New World Order in the deep state, the one and only Roger Stone.
Welcome to The War Room.
Good, sir. Adam, I'm really honored and glad to be with you.
You are, of course, sitting in the chair that used to be mine, because for at least a year, either I rode shotgun with Owen Shroy or maybe he rode shotgun with me, but we did this show together.
It was one of the greatest times of my life, and I miss him, and I miss the entire crew there at Infowars.
Great, great people.
I gotta say, Raj, this is a very comfortable chair I'm sitting in, so thank you very much for kicking it off.
We just had Laura Loomer on the segment, and this last hour, I just want to go hard against DeSantis.
The utter blunder failure of his launch, unifying the greatest fringe of the far left and the greatest fringe of everyone else.
In unison against Ron DeSantis, couldn't have been a bigger failure of a presidential launch?
Well, first of all, full disclosure, I am a 44-year friend of President Donald Trump.
I'm a strong supporter of his current bid to return the White House.
I'm also a Floridian.
I have voted for Governor DeSantis really three times in the 2018 primary, in the 2018 general election, which he One, as you know, by a hair and again in his most recent reelection.
I really don't understand why he's running.
If he wants to be president at 42 years old and only five months into his current term, there's plenty of time for that.
It's not like he has solved all the problems of Florida.
We have many, many problems that still need to be solved.
And I thought that his launch Yesterday was curious.
It was very, very good for Twitter, and I like that, because Twitter's been fair to me under the leadership of Elon Musk, and he's been very fair to me.
I never dreamed that I would ever be reinstated to any mass-based social media platform.
To this day, I am still banned on Facebook, banned for life on YouTube, banned for life on Instagram.
And therefore, I'm grateful to be back on Twitter.
I use the platform judiciously.
And I think it was a very great thing for Twitter.
But also recognize, Adam, the limitations of the format.
We live in a visual world.
And Twitter space is, of course, an audio format.
Therefore, we don't know whether the governor was reading his remarks.
Certainly sounded that way to me.
But all of his themes, of course, were faint echoes of the themes of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump already led an American comeback during the Trump presidency, despite The implacable opposition of the deep state and the and the quizlings in both the Republican and Democratic Party.
We had the most robust, productive economy in our history, the greatest rate of job growth, the greatest rate of wage growth, the lowest levels of unemployment.
Among all Americans, black Americans, white Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, older Americans, younger Americans, rural Americans, urban Americans.
Billions of dollars flooded back into the country where they had previously been offshore because of the tax treatments.
To expand jobs here, to create jobs here.
He rebuilt our military strength.
He appointed scores of conservatives to the federal courts.
He went back to the peace through strength philosophy of Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, which holds that being strong militarily is a deterrent rather than going around the world looking for foreign wars where our inherent national which holds that being strong militarily is a deterrent rather than going around the The Russians did not invade Ukraine because they didn't know what Donald Trump would do if they tried.
It was Donald Trump who cut off the pipeline.
It was Donald Trump who gave offensive weapons to the Ukrainians.
The same is true in China.
The Chinese would not dare move against Taiwan because they were unsure what Donald Trump would do about that.
But they both the Russians, I think, and the Chinese realized there was a high probability that Trump would attack if they attacked American allies.
This is not so today.
And therefore, I guess I would argue that Trump has already proven what he can do.
He has also made some mistakes.
I think he would admit that.
He relied on some people that he shouldn't have relied on.
But Trump in a second term, I think, would be much different, much better than Trump in a first term.
And I think he was overall very good in the first term.
We can hope so.
I would say that there's been two.
You and I have had several discussions.
I encourage everybody to go through my band page and watch the interviews I had with Roger.
And I was very, very critical of Trump.
So what I'm about to say next will be a big turn for a lot of the viewers out there.
The CNN interview that he did and this incident with Ron DeSantis It has really pivoted me and turned me back into being on the Trump train.
I feel now that I'm on the train, but I'm sitting close to the door, but I'm on the train again.
Definitely on the train again.
And I think that a lot of people like me are out there where they don't know where to turn.
Obviously, RFK Jr.
isn't going to go anywhere. So people like me who were very anti-vax, who wanted a candidate, that vax issue was really the Achilles heel of Trump.
But moving past that, there's so much more that President Trump represents to the American public And so much more that he can deliver on than anybody else in the entire 2024 primary.
But you hit it on the head so fervently.
Why would Ron DeSantis do this at 42 years old?
It makes no sense.
He had rose to stardom.
He was the poster boy golden child of the party.
And before he started being contentious with President Trump, He was Trump's number one.
We were begging Trump not to pick him for VP, to think that VP wasn't enough.
Let me say a couple things.
First of all, it is a fiction that Ron DeSantis' record on the COVID-19 pandemic or vaccination is substantially different than Donald Trump's.
By the way, I disagree strongly with both of them.
I'm an advocate for health freedom.
But when Ron DeSantis says today that Donald Trump turned over the country to Dr.
Fauci, Governor, you turned the state over to your health advisers.
Perhaps they're not as colorful as Dr.
Fauci, but they were just as wrong.
So this idea that Florida was different than the rest of the country, that the lockdowns, that the mandates did not last as long as here as they did, is just not so.
And if you look at even at the executive orders that Ron DeSantis heralded, and you go to the small print, you realize that in many cases he abrogated the authority to continue the lockdowns and the mandates.
To the large counties where the governments were dominated by left-wing maniacs, and therefore the mandates lasted well into 2022.
All a mistake.
So when it comes to a presidential candidate, I like the views of Robert Kennedy.
We can talk about where his candidacy is going on the other side, but I think he's doing a great public service.
I don't think he can be nominated, but I think his candidacy He has great impact and value.
When we get back on the other side, we're going to go into that.
We're also going to get your take on some of Carrie Lake's recent opinions.
And we are back with Roger Stone talking about Ron DeSantis and his blunder fumble of a presidential announcement.
Just the overall backstabbing, treasonous nature of his actions.
Roger, before we get into commentary, I want to play this clip from Carrie Lake and her comments on DeSantis' announcement.
If we could play clip 60 and then we'll get your comments on them.
Well, Eric, I believe that fighting woke is a worthy cause.
Absolutely. There are a few things more important, honestly, than stopping the radical indoctrination and, frankly, the sexual mutilation of our children.
But we can't do it half-assed.
When you pick a fight with Disney, you need to play to win.
And so far, Governor DeSantis has been outworked and outmaneuvered by Disney.
As far as I know, Reedy Creek still exists.
They're still hosting trans events at their park.
This indoctrination is continuing, and they're actually rubbing it in the faces of American families.
You know, if you can't beat Donald Duck, how are you going to beat Donald Trump?
I think that's the question we have to ask when it comes to Governor DeSantis.
And I've said it before, I think that Governor DeSantis has done a fine job in Florida and the people just reelected him.
I think it's kind of a Bait and switch type thing when you say you're gonna be there and be your governor, and then you just immediately start running for president.
We have a great candidate in President Trump, and you know, everyone knows I support President Trump, and I think there'll be a time for Ron DeSantis.
I think he can work four more years in Florida and then come around in 28.
And make it happen.
But I don't think he can beat.
I don't think DeSantis can beat Joe Biden.
As a matter of fact, I know he can't beat Joe Biden.
Because I think that the MAGA movement, the America First movement, is so turned off by what they've seen from him and the people who are surrounding DeSantis that I'm not sure that they would vote for him in a general.
I hate to say that, but I'm concerned about us beating Biden.
And I know for a fact that Donald J. Trump can beat Joe Biden.
You know, in the last segment, Laura Loomer just said herself that she wouldn't vote for DeSantis if he had the nomination.
So Carrie Lake stands vindicated.
Well, first of all, I love Carrie Lake, and I think it is one of the great travesties of the decade that she was cheated out of the election.
This is not some conspiracy theory or sour grapes.
The case presented very ably and extraordinarily documented by Her attorneys in Arizona over the last two weeks, I think, demonstrates it.
Unfortunately, the judicial branch of our government at the state and federal level is infected with politics as well, so she cannot get a fair result.
Had she been elected to Arizona, governor of Arizona, she would have had to wrestle with the question of whether she could leave after two years to potentially be vice president.
I'm convinced that her greatest days of public service still yet lie ahead.
She is the most impressive communicator that I've seen or met since the great Ronald Reagan.
People who don't live in Florida may not know the history, but I think it's worthy of going through.
Ron DeSantis was a fairly unwell, not well-known congressman with an undistinguished record and no statewide reputation.
He was running for governor, but his campaign was mired in single digits in the polls.
The state agriculture commissioner, a former congressman, Adam Putnam, had the endorsement of All 67 Republican County Chairmen, every Republican member of both the State House and the State Senate, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House, every member of the Republican congressional delegation, with the exception of Matt Gaetz.
And it is really, it's true that Ron DeSantis' political career and his campaign for governor were over until they were turbocharged by the tweeted endorsement of Donald J. Trump.
You know, and I don't want to cut you off, but I do want to say there's only one person who can phrase this better than you, and that is Donald Trump himself.
And I'm going to play clip 61, if you guys don't mind.
It's his recent smear on DeSantis, and it's pretty much covering everything you're speaking about.
about.
So I'm going to play it right now and then we can get back into your, uh, what you were talking about.
Clip 61 guys.
Thank you.
Should be there. Okay, we don't have clip 61, but if you guys go to Trump's Truth Social, you could see it and pretty much parroting everything that Roger's saying.
Yeah, I wouldn't characterize it as a smear.
I would characterize it as an accurate criticism.
The point, of course, is that Ron DeSantis owes his entire rise in American politics to Donald Trump.
And therefore, I think it is a singular act of treachery for him to now cheat Donald Trump out of the nomination, which is what he's seeking to do.
Let's get back to a more important question.
That is, I can tell you as a veteran of 12 national presidential campaigns that you cannot run for president without facing the press and answering questions from reporters who are not necessarily friendly to you.
In fact, some reporters who are hostile to you, some reporters who are, there's a few, who are down the middle.
But the governor, by using this Twitter format, Sounds like Joe Biden.
It is only – you can't manage the process that way.
So it is only a matter of time before Governor DeSantis has to face the press corps.
And the idea, for example, that Ron DeSantis could do – We have this clip.
I just – because time is so short on – this segment's ending in four minutes.
I want to play that clip from Trump.
Can you guys start 61 over?
In December of 2017, Ron DeSantis was polling at 5% in the Republican primary for governor of Florida.
5%. DeSantis had virtually no endorsements and was being drastically outraised by agricultural commissioner Adam Putnam, the widely viewed favorite.
He was going to win. He was going to win easy.
He was way up. Ron had zero chance of winning.
On December 21st, 2017, a man named President Donald J. Trump endorsed in support of Ron DeSantis.
His polling skyrocketed and DeSantis won the Republican primary 57 to 37.
He was down so many points and all of a sudden he wins by 20.
He was already looking for jobs.
But he did it because of President Trump, thank you very much, Ron.
Thank you very much. So there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.
Yeah, that's an accurate depiction of exactly what happened.
And that's why I have written and said that I think this is an act of treachery, an act of personal disloyalty, when all Ron DeSantis needed to do was wait.
Now, I've been really criticized over the last week because several months ago, I used the analogy of Lady Macbeth, who, if anybody who's read Shakespeare knows, urged her husband to do things that ended up causing his destruction.
It is not a secret that Casey DeSantis, the very popular first lady of Florida, has really been an aggressive advocate of the governor's presidential candidacy now as opposed to 2028.
And I use that analogy.
No, it is not sexist.
No, it is not misogynistic.
No, it is not unfair.
I will either prove in the end to be right or to be wrong.
But it's a fair commentary.
The problem is that in this hyper-charged atmosphere, where the DeSantis campaign has dozens of these paid influencers, you can't say anything that won't cause you to be attacked personally.
So I am, you know, I don't retract my comment, but I do clarify it for those who think it is unfair.
I don't think it is unfair.
I think it's perfectly reasonable.
The DeSantis campaign is crowing about raising a million dollars.
Well, when you consider the event at which he held his announcement and did his Twitter feed was $5,000 ahead, not the graced optics for a presidential candidate.
I'm not surprised that he was pretty successful.
But let me point out, President Trump raised three and a half million dollars.
In the 48 hours after he was unfairly charged in a New York courtroom with this ridiculous business records case, which they're trying to criminalize.
I wonder how much that President Trump was able to bring in off of DeSantis' announcement.
I'm pretty sure that that would be significant.
But it's also important to understand, I just got an email this morning from DeSantis that he's at $20 million.
That was the bundling party that he had last week.
All that money that he just got was already accounted for.
That has nothing to do with his launch.
The million dollars is supposedly in the last 24 hours.
Look, who knows? We'll know when the reports are filed.
But as my friend Laura Loomer, who is my friend, points out, you have all these tech Silicon Valley billionaires who are getting on board the DeSantis train.
Why? Well, because they want federal government contracts, particularly for this surveillance technology that a number of them are involved with.
And I think that is their motivation.
So we're closing up the segment.
We're closing up the show right now.
And I want to thank you, Roger, for coming on.
We've got 10 seconds left.
And before I head out, I just want to thank the InfoWars staff.
